Targeted skill-development

Cubase is by far one of the leading DAWs in the world and I have seen it used in most of the studios I passed through. I am not a fan of it but this doesn't make it at all less capable; in fact, I guess Cubase is the application I have met more than anything else, whether it was for drum-recording (as it was my case on several occasions) or for whole-band recording.

Now, each DAW has to work with MIDI, whether you need it or not. And since a lot of today's music has a very strong "technological" or "digital" component, MIDI is one thing we can't go on without, no matter what we would have in mind.

There are a lot of manuals and Cubase courses in any format you might need and they can bring you from almost zero to a fair level of Cubase-knowledge. What happens as you want more and want to specialize in a direction? Nothing, because skill-courses are very rare. So it's my real pleasure to present you a unique piece of educational material from Course Technology: the Skill Pack for MIDI editing in Cubase.

The main advantage of the Skill Pack is that it treats some in-depth issues of MIDI editing in a very focused manner and allows the user to concentrate his/her efforts in a very specific direction and pretty much to sensibly better results.

The Skill Pack provides a very thorough learning process based on the proven solidity of the "learn by doing" principle. Practically, the "attendants" to this course will have to complete various tasks as they are advancing through the book and using source files on the provided CD.

The MIDI Editing in Cubase Skill Pack works as a mother of all tutorials as the user will build up his expertise in the Cubase MIDI filed step by step, achieving harder and more complex tasks with each new level, benefiting from instructions given in the book applied on various sources on the disc. Basically, the reader will pass through chapters relating to MIDI note events, advanced MIDI recording techniques, note event editing (these exercises address the Piano Roll and Inline view, as well as the List and Score views), MIDI controller events, MIDI controller recording, and MIDI controller editing.

Before you decide to pay the very affordable price of $26.99 (for both book and CD-ROM), read below for a glimpse at the producer's specs:
