Summary: Great book
Comment: I am working with a different version of Cubase and this book still helped. The author also provides his email for feedback and I wrote him.. He actually responded!

Summary: Knows How to Write an Instructional Book
Comment: Micheal is a talented writer adept at explaining technical and dry material in an easy going and entertaining fashion. He was able to anticipate what questions. I enjoyed his use of side bars to explain slightly off-topic, but relevant information. One of the strengths of the book is that Micheal not only explains the functions of Cubase, but how those functions fit into how you actually make a basic recording.

The book filled many gaps I had about using Cubase and digital recording in general.

Summary: Great book to get you started quickly
Comment: Like most others, I bought this to use as a starter guide for using Cubase LE. It's written for Cubase 4 so some of the buttons, etc. are different but unless you really are an idiot you should be able to figure it out. It takes you thru all the steps on how to set things up and get recording, and it also has good information on some EQ'ing techniques. If you've got LE this is a great book to get you going quickly, then poke around in the LE help files for more info.

Summary: This guy knows how to make it understandable!
Comment: Best purchase I ever made in my short recording "career." I have Cubase 4 LE which has little usable instruction/support (from Steinberg, anyway). I really needed this book full of information even more than I thought I did. Thanks to Michael Miller.

Summary: excellent teaching
Comment: This is my first "complete idiot" book, and I'm very impressed. To be honest, for years I've avoided these books simply because of the name. I'm not real thrilled to have a book with such a title on my bookshelf. But anyhow, I'm most of the way through this book, and it's been a tremendous help both as a "read it from beginning to end" type of book, as well as a reference.

What I like best about the book is that unlike some of the other dreadful books and training videos on music packages that I've encountered recently, this one actually focuses on the making of music, not just repetitively going through each and every feature in the pulldowns. The book starts off by going through how to set up your equipment. Then how to do an audio recording in cubase. Then it talks about how to record in MIDI and usual virtual instruments. It also goes into editing in MIDI, mixing, and finally how to do some authoring.

Excellent, excellent book. I highly recommend it.
