Fast Guide to Cubase SX Third Edition

it was a gift for a friend

I find this a facinating book that helps to quickly knock down the learning curve of Cubase SX. To me it's easier to digest than the manual supplied with Cubase. I have Cubase 1.0 and Cubase Studio 4, it seems to be adequate for this and in between. From setting up your first audio or midi recording, to editing, to mastering, it seems to cover all aspects in a reasonable sized book. I can't think of much that could be done to improve it. I highly recommend this for anyone who has a desire to dive into computer based recording. It even give brand name mic and interface hardware recommendations. I sat down at a local national bookstore and combed over 3 different guides to Cubase and this one clearly excelled, prompting me to purchase it. This is one I never lend out!

If you use Sx, then the price these books can be picked up for means that you might just as well have one.What it is not - a fast guide, the book goes into considerable depth in the complex world of cubase.I did not manage to find answers to all my problems with this book - despite its overall thouroughness, but it is a good reference to have to hand.
