Summary: The BEST book for users of Cubase SX, advanced or beginner!
Review: I have virtually every book on digital recording, and on Cubase. The new version of Cubase, entitled SX, is an extremely powerful program with a wonderful interface that eclipses competitors from Cakewalk, Emagic/Apple, and MOTU; however, the manuals that accompany the software are only rudimentary, involving very basic functions. This book serves as a very complete tutorial on both Cubase SX as well as recording/mixing and mastering in General. Don't be fooled by the title, it is much more complete than it suggests. I have found it to be my major resource when recording, mixing, or mastering. There is no better resource! It doesn't cover details of mic placement, positioning, etc...only those elements of production that are directly related to Cubase SX.You will NOT be disappointed, no matter what level of user you are. BTW, Deinhardt is a moderator on Steinberg's cubase forums, and is VERY knowledgable, and Anderton is Well-known in the industry. The writing style is very laid-back and easy to follow. Kudos!

Summary: A Great Book for Learning Cubase
Review: I'm new to Cubase, so I thought I'd pick up this book to learn some of the ins and outs. It is a perfect book for walking through all features, from the very basic to the advanced. It gives a lot of good tips on how to personalize and optimize your setup to get the maximum in speed and flexibility. I found it to be a very useful reference to go through all of the tools available in Cubase. The example projects included in the CD make very useful tutorials, and I find myself referring back to the book from time to time to refresh my recollection on particular tips and tricks. Some of the basic technology explanations and the later stuff on efx, mixing, mastering, etc., is really applicable across platforms and DAWs (although obviously with different commands and ways of implementation). Highly recommended.

Summary: Good detail
Review: Overall I thought the book was excellent reading. It does start out with some very basic Cubase functionality, which if you know Cubase pretty well already you can just zip right through. By about page 150 you are into the title of the book "Mixing/Mastering" From there things really take off. There are a lot of good Cubase examples to go from. There is a lot of information on how to achieve certain results, but it doesn't tell you that things have to be that way. It does allow for the creativity to show through. I would recommend this to anyone trying to get that "right" sound out of you music.

Summary: Superb book for Cubase SX users(must have)
Review: This booh gives you all the basic info you need if you are using SX. Even you're a beginner or a pro SX user. I've been using Cubase since 1996, and I recommend this book to all SX users. Run and by it, if you are using SX as a tool!

Summary: you can't be taught the art of mixing/mastering
Review: you can't be taught the art of mixing / mastering. you have to have the ear. no training manual of any depth and length will be able to teach you this. same goes for any other creative manuals. you must have an eye for art to utilize photoshop or any other design software. you must have an ear for music to utilize music production softwares.
