🔥 Cubase 11 Tutorial - BEGINNERS Lesson 1 - Getting Started 🔥

This Cubase 11 tutorial will teach you everything you need to be able to make, record, arrange, mix and master your own tracks in Cubase. You will learn to use Cubase whilst making a track from start to finish. You can follow along in Cubase Elements, Artist & Pro. You can also follow along in Cubase 9.5, 10 & 10.5.

So you will not only be learning how to use Cubase but also you will be learning music production techniques and even more importantly you will learn when, where and why you should be applying the skills you have learnt. That way, when you go to make your own music, the knowledge you have learned will be much more accessible to you.

There is no easier or fun way to learn Cubase than to make a song yourself from scratch, with guidance from experts all the way through. In this 23 lesson beginner's tutorial, you get straight into making music and learning how to make your own tunes.

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 steps, so that everyone who wants to can discover the utter pleasure of music production and it has become a passion of both and the Born To Produce Team to keep doing this and get better and better at it.

Got back into messing around with synths after many years away (used Cubase in the late 90s). Got a copy of Ableton with a Novation midi controller purchase, but never really jived with it. A week ago, I downloaded a trial version of Cubase and purchased this tutorial. WOW! In the two days it took me to work through the lessons, I learned more than 3 years of fiddling with Ableton on my own. Regardless of what DAW you choose, I HIGHLY recommend the BtP tutorials. Will definitely be purchasing one of your mixing courses in the future!

Bought the package and just created a track!
I was able to use the techniques taught to add a little creativity of my own. I must say, just awesome learning! Jon and Jay really teach this course well.
To be able to do this from scratch without any prior knowledge of using Cubase just gives a feeling of great power of creativity and accomplishment.
Thank you Jon and Jay for this package!

I learned my basic skills from your Cubase 9.5 videos last time. Now I've upgraded to 11 pro and i have you as my teacher again. Thank you for everything!

I have struggled with Cubase for the last 8 years, having mastered the early versions in the early 90's which were very intuitive.
The Modern version is difficult if you have had time out of about 20 years and coming back to it is not easy. This Tutorial is by far the best i have found but has one weakness. It does not tell you how to set up playback. I followed the instructions but couldn't hear a thing. I had a similar problem with elements and artist. I am contemplating moving up to Pro after the 30 day trial but will only do so if I can solve this playback issue.
Oddly, if I imported my own song to Cubase from Zoom R24 (wav) or a midi file it played back with no problems. My Zoom has a USB setting which works for youtube playback and it's own mixer which works for youtube playback but for some reason it won't playback my Cubase composition. Having read various Forums there are other people out there with similar frustrations and while it may be nice to use a DAW for recording original material the old Multitrack method of recording is so much easier and those machines from Zoom, and Tascam and others are still going strong.
Thanks for the upload, very helpful but needs some instruction on setting up the sound system before diving in.

Can I setup cubase in "Import Options for MIDI Files" in a way that will use kontakt multipatch set up as if it was HALion ? I mean i save a kontakt multipatch with all the general midi I like and then cubase loads theme with program change on each track importing a midifile ready to be played as it does with HALion in the option "Import Options for MIDI Files" ? thanks

[Overqualified]

Gonna go ahead and get pro 11 and learn it.

[belliezzz]

Great tutorials -- I've been using Cubase for years and I'm still trying to figure out why my mixdown / exported audio files are always much much lower volume than what I hear inside Cubase. I've done a lot of research and still haven't figured it out -- any insight into this?
