Cubase SX/SL Mixing & Mastering,
By paul baird (brighton, east sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cubase Sx/Sl: Mixing and Mastering (Prostart) (Paperback)
This 496 page book with CD not only takes you through all the functions in SX,but shows you loads of tips on how to actually use eq,compression etc and tricks of ways to create and shape sounds.The beauty of this excellent book is that just about everything as a hands on tutorial.I've had SX since it came out and I've leant the manual,reading Mixing and Mastering has increased my knowledge, not just Cubase itself but my knowledge of sequencers,200%

A fantastic book that covers many techniques.,
This review is from: Cubase Sx/Sl: Mixing and Mastering (Prostart) (Paperback)
This book is really a book on how to treat audio using cubase SX/SL. It teaches you to use SX/SL along the way. Not just what buttons to press, but what to actually do with it! It deals with mixing, managing and mastering your projects using Cubase. It has dedicated chapters on Reverb, Dynamics and EQ. The mastering section, while tiping a nod to the 'golden ears' required for proper mastering, recognises that many hobbists will not want to send their projects off for mastering and will want to 'do the best they can using Cubase SX/SL. The book covers this in a practical and pragmatic way. It also has important tips and techniques on mixing in ways to allow a mastering house to create the best master they can. I think the book is wonderful. It is honest about the shortcomings of Cubase and recommends other plugins where appropriate; and it is from the Stienberg Press. Also there are some damn sneaky, damn clever audio treatment tips in the book! Things that I would never have though of trying, but can't wait to try now! GET IT!!!

The BEST book for users of Cubase SX, advanced or beginner!,
By J. Lockridge "jllx" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cubase Sx/Sl: Mixing and Mastering (Prostart) (Paperback)
I have virtually every book on digital recording, and on Cubase. The new version of Cubase, entitled SX, is an extremely powerful program with a wonderful interface that eclipses competitors from Cakewalk, Emagic/Apple, and MOTU; however, the manuals that accompany the software are only rudimentary, involving very basic functions. This book serves as a very complete tutorial on both Cubase SX as well as recording/mixing and mastering in General. Don't be fooled by the title, it is much more complete than it suggests. I have found it to be my major resource when recording, mixing, or mastering. There is no better resource! It doesn't cover details of mic placement, positioning, etc...only those elements of production that are directly related to Cubase SX.You will NOT be disappointed, no matter what level of user you are. BTW, Deinhardt is a moderator on Steinberg's cubase forums, and is VERY knowledgable, and Anderton is Well-known in the industry. The writing style is very laid-back and easy to follow. Kudos! 20 of 22 people found the following review helpful:

Good detail,
By "riveted" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cubase Sx/Sl: Mixing and Mastering (Prostart) (Paperback)
Overall I thought the book was excellent reading. It does start out with some very basic Cubase functionality, which if you know Cubase pretty well already you can just zip right through.By about page 150 you are into the title of the book "Mixing/Mastering" From there things really take off. There are a lot of good Cubase examples to go from. There is a lot of information on how to achieve certain results, but it doesn't tell you that things have to be that way. It does allow for the creativity to show through. I would recommend this to anyone trying to get that "right" sound out of you music. 14 of 15 people found the following review helpful:

A Great Book for Learning Cubase,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cubase Sx/Sl: Mixing and Mastering (Prostart) (Paperback)
I'm new to Cubase, so I thought I'd pick up this book to learn some of the ins and outs. It is a perfect book for walking through all features, from the very basic to the advanced. It gives a lot of good tips on how to personalize and optimize your setup to get the maximum in speed and flexibility. I found it to be a very useful reference to go through all of the tools available in Cubase. The example projects included in the CD make very useful tutorials, and I find myself referring back to the book from time to time to refresh my recollection on particular tips and tricks.Some of the basic technology explanations and the later stuff on efx, mixing, mastering, etc., is really applicable across platforms and DAWs (although obviously with different commands and ways of implementation). Highly recommended. |
