Much praise to this series for helping an old dog learn new tricks,
I used Cubase VST32 and SX back in the day and these videos are excellent in helping me brush up on modern Cubase. Everything is explained in full detail and the instructor shows you what a powerful piece of software it is, with examples on configs, presets, setups, etc. to help your workflow and get down to making music. Bottom line, if you are frustrated with trying to figure everything out on your own like I was, I highly recommend this series.

Clear and concise
I am working my way through this program in stages as time allows. I have had Cubase 8/8.5 for a year now and though I have learned a fair amount from other videos available, I have found these units to be really clear and concise.

Great In-Depth Training
This is a great in-depth Cubase training. This will teach you the fundamentals of setting up Cubase, setting up inputs/outputs, recording audio, managing the audio, thorough explanation of the mixer, sends, pre-fader/post fader effects, etc. Just a great technical, in-depth training of the fundamentals. You won't find much regarding MIDI, VST instruments, and looping however, but still a great training.

Pretty good overview for new users of Cubase
I'm in the middle of the painful process of switching DAWs from Sonar, which I have used since the early 90s, to Cubase and these videos provide a great overview of Cubase functionality. Cubase is very versatile and these videos focus more on this versatility than audio/MIDI tricks.

Mind Bogglingly and Unnecessarily Complex.
I don't own nor have ever used Cubase. I watched a number of these videos from the beginning to get a taste. It doesn't taste good. We start with installation and then go through an endless array, video after video, of setting up an entire production studio including submixes to various headphones, and on and on. Look. Most people have a simple audio interface, maybe a MIDI keyboard, and a mic and/or guitar. Is there no way to show a simple hardware setup and then jump in and start recording an audio and MIDI track? Like right away? To see how the thing works for your average person who is not the top engineer in Nashville? It could be that Cubase is actually awesome for the home-based singer songwriter, or MIDI-based musician, or whatever non-super-big-time person you might be. But to find out if Cubase might be for you, go elsewhere. Here for video after video you will watch how to route a click track and special mix to sound booth three. That's not what I came here for. The first third of half of this belongs in a special series meant for big-budget engineers with ultra complex setups. Jeez!

very informative
As always, a whole lot of information in every block. Some features showed you may not recognize for a long time.

1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I've been a musician since a very early age starting with playing the trumpet, guitar, bass, and piano. Not the drums though, my brother got those genes. I am an excellent finger drummer though to say the least!
2. What training have you had?
For formal training I took regular music lessons in grade school and high school which were fortified with training from private tutors. After school I joined the Army band and went through the Army School of Music as well. I'd like to say that most of what I've learned though came through experience and having hands-on opportunities.
3. When did you get into recording?
During my stay in the Army I was the live sound manager. I loved operating the mixing board but I loathed the 'live' environment. I truly enjoyed making things sound great but I didn't like the fact that there is so little room for error in the live setting. I had wished for more time to invest in being able to make something that sounds ok, turn into something phenomenal. I started by recording our Army band performances on a Yamaha AW1600 for fun, but really enjoyed that I could capture that moment then take my time to make it sound amazing without having to worry about the crowd booing. The rest is history!
4. People you have worked with/for?
A few musical highlights have been running live sound for the President of the US, and doing some on the side tech work for the band Dope. I also was able to work with Virus on one of his side projects. Over the years though my focus has been mainly in customer service and tech, so I've talked with thousands of industry professionals on a daily basis which have truly been too numerous to name individually.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
Growing up I always felt that I spent a lot of time training myself how to do things, but oddly enough I always thought I'd never make a great teacher even though I'm a geek through and through. In the early part of my career I turned down so many opportunities to teach music and engineering. I think part of that came with my own insecurity of not having the formal education that society tells us that we need to succeed. It took a lot of time, practice, and personal education to get me past that hump of feeling confident in trusting that what I taught myself was legit. I've finally reached a point where I feel like I have a lot to offer in terms of knowledge, but most of it has come through investing the time with having the hands on experience that not even formally educated people get sometimes. I truly believe the best way to learn something is to get your hands on it and immerse yourself in every little detail. Groove 3 is a great avenue to be able to share that knowledge.
