Yep, like the Quick Guides, these were written a while ago, too. VST Tips & Tricks should still work. Although Cubase has been updated, the overall principles still apply. NOTE: this is a book of tips & tricks, not a substitute for the manual!
Sequencer Secrets – I’m amazed this is still going after – yes, well, work it out for yourself – the screenshots are from software running on the Atari ST! It was the first book to offer suggestions and alternative ideas about how to use a sequencer and it spawned several imitators. The ideas can still be applied to modern sequencers and it includes a few ideas I haven’t seen elsewhere. One day it will go out of print. I’m sure!
Being ‘of an age’, you can pick these up for a few pennies or cents.
Cubase VST Tips & TricksCubase creator Charlie Steinberg says: “Cubase VST Tips and Tricks is more than just another book about VST. It’s a readable introduction for the novice, but it also offers a lot of ‘insider’ tips for experienced VST users and professionals (I’m a bit of an expert myself, but even I picked up some pretty useful tips) and the book takes some new angles on the program that will inspire you to be even more creative – highly recommended! Have fun.” There’s not much you can’t do with Cubase VST – but how many users really achieve full mastery over the program? In this highly practical and creative book you will discover a wealth of tips and tricks to help you become more creative and more productive. * For PC and Mac The manual explains how VST works but this book shows you how to use it!
