Who are we?
Born To Produce was founded by professional music producers Jay Hales & Jon Merritt with the aim of providing super usable and informative tutorial videos, that they never had access to when they were climbing the music production ropes. The entire aim is to boil complex topics down into easy to understand and easy to repeat, bitesize steps, so that everyone who wants to can discover the utter pleasure of music production. They have been teaching music production via their 'make a song from start to finish' style for 8 years now and consistently get fantastic feedback from students.

I just bought the whole beginner's course. Here is why: He speaks in a normal speed and repeats himself on what he is doing. He is not assuming you know where things are and what they are for. He shows you the screen slow enough that you can follow along. I absolutely hate tutorials that fly by, and you are like What? What was that? And you have to re-wind or slow down YouTube. So being that I have NEVER used a DAW, and failed as a drummer in my 20s, this series is helping me navigate CUBASE ARTIST 13 in a methodical step by step manner. So, if you are just starting out, or you are frustrated with nagging confusion, you may find like I did that this course could work for you too. Note, if there is a change from 12 to 13, he does spit screen to make sure there is no confusion depending on the version you are using. Lastly, I really appreciate that the course is in all zip files, and I can play the videos locally on my machine and not log into one more website. :-) Now if I can just come up with a professional name like eka "Slip Tacks" ;-)

Onward and upward!

Right, I watched the first few videos here on YouTube and thought I'd carry on and get the whole course. I'm not even halfway through yet, but just wanted to take a moment to say that I've learnt so much already. Not quite sure how you do it, but you somehow manage to pack loads into each video without going too quickly whilst also covering basic stuff without it getting slow and laborious. Some experts forget what it's like to be a beginner and that can leave them unable to teach - here with have the subject knowledge and the ability to explain all rolled into one. I don't mean to gush, but this is great stuff! Thanks.

Complete beginner, film maker, not even a musician. I was struggling, couldn't even get sound out of Cubase to begin with, your tutorial is by far the best, clearest, most straightforward online. You are the best, because you keep it simple and cover all aspects in detail. Well done. will be recommending you...

[Iesous]

Thank you very much. I've always wanted to do some audio recording as a bedroom guitarist. I don't understand why DAWs are so complicated but I guess it comes with the nature of music production lol. I will be following your guides! Again, thank you for this invaluable tutorial

[DEDZU]

At last ! something simple, nice and clear. Prevents me from giving up Cubase on a trial version. Thank you so much

Hi Jay many thanks for this tutorial iv been struggling a bit with Cubase 12 my first DAW etc and getting a bit down hearted with it but this episode really sorted out so much for me, it took me ten minutes to record my first tune its brilliant now nearly 2am and I’m just glued its fantastic thanks so much 👍👍😎✌

[milenadeltorto]

[timkeogh]

Thanks for putting this video up you've made a noob very happy

I use to use Cubase about 15 years ago on a Windows PC. When I went Mac I had nothing but hassles with ilok keys not working and versions not compatible with my OS. I've been trying to use Garage band but I always wanted to try Cubase again. I think I'm right in saying the ilok usb key is no longer needed(?) and you have tempted me in to buying Cubase 12 and to give it a go again. 👍🏻

Thank you very much mate for taking the time to show us how to use this pretty daunting at first program. 10/10.
