Cubase Pro - Recording and Mixing

In this course - aimed at singer songwriters working in their home studio with a DAW such as Cubase 12 - students will learn the most important controls and features of Cubase 12 to be able to record professional sounding songs. The course is designed for users already familiar with Cubase (or similar DAW) but would like some easy instruction on methods I use when recording and mixing singer songwriters. As the course progresses, different projects are used to illustrate various techniques.

Rather than create a simple step by step guide of creating a song from scratch, this course takes a different approach. This course looks at many techniques that can help a singer songwriter record and mix new audio whilst incorporating existing audio too. Students will learn how to use Cubase 12 by going through the process of recording and mixing different types of song.

Students will learn how to record and edit instruments such as piano, pads, drums, guitar and bass. Students get the opportunity to see how to record and edit vocals to a professional standard including timing, pitch correction and comping different takes. The most important parts of mixing - EQ, compression, reverb and other ‘sweetening' effects are covered in detail.

The most important of Cubase 12's mixing plugins are covered. Virtual Insruments such as Groove Agent and Halion SE are analysed as well as important third party ones by Fabfilter and Waves. Students will learn how to master and export a mix using Raiser.
