Intro to Cubase: The Basics!

This video is meant for the first-timer to Cubase. It goes over the project page, tools, recording basic MIDI info, using the editors and the mixer.

Finally found the video I needed for moving to Cubase from other DAWs. Most others (even official) went way too fast or were poorly explained. Jef, you were spot on, my man! Many thanks! :-) A++

I learnt more watching the first 15 minutes of this video than I have in any other Cubase tutorial. Wish everybody was to the point and concise as you Jeff! As somebody who’s been professionally using logic for my projects, moving to Cubase was just an impulse I gave into because I just wanted to see how my brain works on a different interface! I devoured your Maschine tutorials and now I’m back for your Cubase ones! Can’t believe this is available on YouTube! Thank you for doing these! 💛

Even though I have been using Cubase for a long time (self-taught) but I was merely scratching the surface. Checked several tutorials from Cubase and others but I must call out that your explanation, pace you move, and your calm voice make it spot on. Thanks for your effort and looking forward to going through all your tutorials.

I am completely amazed by the short video tutorials I find for a giant software like Cubase. This software needs to be covered in a 5+ hours tutorial really.

Jef, it sounds like you're a Cubase tutor. The best speaker and at a realistic pace. A 'Cubase' tutorial I started with was a bit hyper, with about 75% of the talk irrelevant - saying how wonderful the plug-ins etc. are. I have ADD, visual and cognitive impairment, and have not used Cubase for most of the last 15 years [with a 20 year old Cubase SX version] The most important thing is to see where the [small grey] icons are and not be distracted by someone swirling the mouse around, or already expecting one to know where to go - with just a quick verbal yes. This is professional. And Free!

I have been using Cubase 5 until today. And today was my big day to finally upgrade to Pro 10.5. And for this major upgrade transformation, I would like to thank Jeff for such a handy tutorial with a lot of unexplained explanations. Thank you so much... :)

I decided on Cubase and I'm glad to see you made another good tutorial on this after watching your Maschine videos. Most youtubers will ramble and only give useful information in like 20% of the video but this is good quality, well structured, concise, and informative.

Hi Jef just upgraded to Cubase 10.5 after many years on 6.5 and have been really appreciating your videos. Nice and clear and concise. Thanks for your your great content!

[utunnelindia]

Thanks for explaining such complex things in a very simple and understandable way. Your tutorials are so clean and to the point. I searched over the net for some beginners tutorials but did not find one that is really for the beginners. Thanks, now I have your channel.

Hi Jef! Thank you very much for these tutorials about Cubase, I am really enjoying them. I usually don't take the time to thank on YouTube, but you really earned it. Thank you again.

[domtoulon]

This is a really great re-introduction to Cubase for me personally who has been using this DAW for more then a decade as Jef's mentions things that I am so grateful to know finally how to do! Many thanks Jeff and please continue to make more Cubase video tutorials!

[sonyasmithsinger]

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. The answer to my prayers. Clear, Informative, to the point instructions

[bassmanaz]

Very nice concise, lucid instruction video. Many thanks.

[mrtibbs]

To Jef Gibbons thank you offering up these excellent tutorials.. they are invaluable liked and subscribed.Thank you so much.

[MichaelLynchMusic]

Props to you sir! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Very informative and your teaching style is great. Keep up the good work and I'll be on the lookout for more Cubase tutorials!

This is *such* a clear and helpful tutorial.
By the way if you're working on a small monitor and wondering how to find the time signature setting (or any other extended setting) look for the three dots to the right of an item on the bottom bar, click and drag it to the right to expand all the other settings in that group!

[plantfoodbeats]

Easily the best tutorial I've been able to find on Cubase. Just looking for information to help me move over from a different DAW, this was clear, concise, well structured, and incredibly helpful. Thank you Jef!

[IshaanNigamOfficial]

Thank you Jef. Switching the DAW seemed scary to me but this video really helped me :)

[alanglasgowbassist]

Love your teaching style Jef and I learnt a few new things too. Thank you.
