Cubase Pro 10 Essential Training: Editing and Mixing

Course details

Learn the advanced features and workflows in Cubase Pro 10 for recording, performing, mixing, and producing music of all kinds. In this course, instructor Mark Struthers reviews next-level techniques such as leveraging advanced MIDI editing and recording options, creating VSTi tracks, applying insert and send effects, and metering and monitoring your tracks. Each lesson is based around a single course project: the rebuild of an original audio-book mix Mark made in Cubase 5.1, way back in 2001. The rebuild corrects the sibilance of the narration with de-essing, enhances the clarity of the instruments, incorporates new audio effects, and includes more realistic instrument samples. The final project is a test of your new skills and a testament to the enhanced power of Cubase 10.
