The Slow Guide!!! (0/1 people found this helpful)
The title of this book is a little misleading if you think it will get you up and running fast. It should be renamed 'The Comprehensive Guide...' there is so much info and the detail the author goes into is awesome. I have read several other tutorial books for software sequencers and have to say that this is by far the most boring read I have ever had to endure, the author writes with no personality, this would not be a bad thing if it was meant to be a straight forward manual but it is supposed to be a tutorial book.
The book is cheaply made and the binding began to fall apart quite soon, it smells bad like it is made from toxic chemicals, also I found it would not stay open and kept closing itself which was infuriating. The writting is not dark enough and is too small and goes right up to the center edge of the page which makes it difficult to read.
The info therein is priceless and the author is very knowledgeable indeed (if a little bland), however it could have been produced with a lot more care hence the two stars.
Brilliant Book, buy it! (10/10 people found this helpful)
I was so impressed by this book when I borrowed it from the public library, I immediately bought a copy from Amazon!
Cubase SX3 is a complex programme, and takes some time, and a steep learning curve, before it starts to become familiar and comfortable.
This book covers a lot of technical ground in a concise and logical manner without being intimating or patronizing. A rare and rewarding experience.
I'm a newbie to programmes like Cubase, and although this book covers a lot of complex technical ground I found it friendy and rewarding.
Even though it's not totally bang-up-to-date (to SX3.1) it's still a great book, extremly well written, with tons of great useful screen shots. Even if you're a beginner, like me, this book will be a constant companion, and friend, as you grow into this beautiful software sequencing programme, that really does it all!
The Cuebase book you've been looking for (33/34 people found this helpful)
Clear and concise, yet detailed, this book explains the fundamentals of digital recording in general and Cubase SX in particular, from the basics to the complex – and the truth is, recording audio well is a complicated business. This book makes the whole process clear and understandable. Having tried many 'Quick Start' guides, with limited success, I found this book told me everything I needed to know to start making decent recordings, from input to final mix. If you're relatively new to music recording, this book is essential. All manuals should be this good.
