- [Instructor] Hello and welcome to this course

on Cubase Pro 10 Essential Training: the Basics.

The title of this course indicates what to expect,

in that you will be shown many essential techniques

designed for complete beginners to Cubase.

That said, I think it's worth pointing out

there are other earlier version Cubase courses

available here that take you deeper into the program.

And even though the Cubase user interface

has developed a fair amount since version 8,

The Cubase Pro 8 course is still worth looking at

if you want to accelerate your learning.

You will have downloadable access

to one of the Cubase projects

that features during this course,

so that you have a working project

to practice the techniques shown here.

That said, this course doesn't walk you through

step-by-step the start to finish process

of creating a course from scratch to completion.

By the essentials nature of this course,

you will be shown how to do things and given the confidence

to develop your own working projects.

In the follow-up courses, we'll get into the details more.

Now during this course,

some of the things that we'll look at include

how to connect Cubase;

in other words, how the program gets installed

and how the eLicenser is updated.

We'll look at using the Steinberg hub

to create first projects

and to use and create project templates for quick setup.

The user interface is comprehensively looked at

in terms of how it's broken down into zones

that provide specific functionality.

The main toolbar and ubiquitous inspector is assessed too.

We'll include VSTi's in our projects

and how rack and track instruments offer this.

Further information is provided

in terms of the MediaBay and using samples.

Related to using samples,

we investigate how the audio pool works.

A section covering essential MIDI operation is looked at too

as well as recording new audio and MIDI

directly into our projects,

including an explanation of parts and events.

Important aspects, such as playback and transport options,

preference setting, using markers,

tempo and time signature, and how the metronome works

to keep our performances in time are assessed too.

All of this and more will be looked at

in this Cubase Pro 10 Essential Training: the Basics course

to get you comfortable with the program immediately.
