Cubase SX 2 for Macintosh and Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide (Visual QuickStart Guides) Book

These days, when it comes to producing high-quality audio recordings, you have a choice: You can pay a professional studio tens of thousands of dollars, or you can pay Steinberg--the maker of Cubase SX 2--under a thousand dollars for the digital audio sequencer software to do it yourself. If the only thing keeping you from the latter (more rational) choice is fear of facing the learning curve, fear no more: In this easy, task-based guide veteran author Thad Brown makes Cubase SX 2's myriad features accessible, even fun, on his way to teaching you how to record, mix, and edit audio and MIDI. If you¿re a beginning user, you'll appreciate the step-by-step instructions and strong visual approach, and if you're a veteran user, you'll seize on the information about Cubase's new features: a user-customizable interface, complete MIDI file import/export, a Freeze feature, and more. Also covered are more advanced topics like looping, managing tempos, mixer automation, and file rendering. Read More
