Cubase is a program that transforms your computer into a complete
recording studio. It creates every button, knob, switch, and fader found
in a hardware-based studio, including a few components that don't exist
in that realm. Cubase 7 provides virtually unlimited tracks for
musicians, producers, and music enthusiasts alike, limited only by the
power of the host computer. But with all that power and all of the
options that it provides, the processes of composing, recording,
editing, mixing, and mastering can be challenging. Power Tools for
Cubase 7 was written with the new user in mind. First, you'll learn the
process of installation and proper studio configuration. Next, you'll
learn the foundations of rudimentary Cubase operations; how to avoid
common mistakes; how to properly record and edit MIDI, instrument, and
audio tracks; and how to use techniques that produce smoothly polished
results. Finally, you'll learn how to add mastering treatments for a
punchy, shiny, and loud mix that will compete with the pros. In the end,
you might know the project was mixed and mastered in your home, but no
one else has to.
