5.0 out of 5 stars Execellent Publication, February 27, 2003

This review is from: Cubase Power! (Paperback)

This book is an absolute must for anyone using Cubase. Don't waste time, paper and ink cartridges printing out the 1,000 plus pages from the CD. Just buy Cubase Power and let the learning begin. Suddenly, it all begins to make sense. I was surprised to find that I actually ENJOY reading this book! It's clearly illustrated, clearly written and well organized. If there's a better book, I haven't heard about it. In fact, I'm taking a class on Cubase and presented this book to my instructor to consider using it as the class textbook. Need I say more? It's a winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny!, January 12, 2002

This review is from: Cubase Power! (Paperback)

This book has proven to be an invaluable resource for me. A friend of mine and I have jumped leaps and bounds over previous experiences with Cubase VST, especially in the MIDI department. So much so that we sold our ADAT studio-Cubase is by far a simpler beast with less complications. I would highly recommend this book to the Cubase beginner/intermediate. I think it is way better than the manual.

This review is from: Cubase Power! (Paperback)

I purchased this book before I even bought Cubase 5.1 VST- I had used it before, but always with someone who knew what was going on. I had no idea how MIDI worked, and now, I was planning on jumping in to one of the most detailed, most intricate, most excitingly complex pieces of Audio/MIDI Recording Software ever made.
It was overall a good read and worth the money I paid for it. Although it tends to favor the PC in its diagrams (I run on a new iMac under OS 9.2.2), with a little imagination you figure things out rather quickly.
Often times the explanations of functions are a bit winded and made to seem much more complicated than they are. (For example explaining every tool in the different Tool Bars...the Eraser is for to erase...) However, the book does go in to detail about the heavier side of Cubase-the more advanced "stuff". It is a great supplement to have along with the Cubase manual, and far easier a read than megabytes of PDF file.
