Okay, so I recently started using Cubase SX...after playing around with some lesser tools, I decided its time to move to the big time, make some real tunes.

How did you guys go about learning it? Buy books? Online tutorials? Just fiddling around?

The buying books route isn't really appealing to me, as I am po' from all the vinyl I buy....but some online resources that you guys know of would be awsome (but hey, feel free to recommend books anyway).

Once you know what the functions are and what they do (same for each program) it's pretty easy to pick any of the music packages up.
You just got to find the options

if ure a good programmer, youll only need the key chart

fiddle around

find out the gm map stuff for drums
find out to hit the W button in the mixer to automate a channel
find out how to make a virtual copy and a real copy (shift / +alt + mouse)
be not ashamed of using more than 1 midi track for each instrument, modulations go extra.


Get loads of Plugins!
waves native , psp vintage warmer, ohmforce quadfrohmage , ni stuff, phatmatik pro

Get used to resample your drums or forget prof. production.
