Reviews

'Thoroughly recommended!' Keyboard Player 'All you need to master the essentials of Cubase SX.' Music Tech magazine 'Five stars. 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' Amazon reader June 2004 'Very detailed and clearly explained for beginners and the advanced. An excellent mentor.' Digital Creative Arts
