I can’t speak for other ‘pro’s’… I think the chord tracks are a great addition and clever feature. Admittedly its not something I use often but I’m also a classically trained pianist and fortunate in that I can reproduce most stuff by ear. Thats not the case for a lot of other producers, even some as big as Deadmau5 who openly admits he’s crap at playing a keyboard. He actually had a big part in developing Cthulu from Xfer Records which kinda spawned this feature in a lot of the big DAW’s.
great starting tutorial for beginners to cubase and old to get the basics going , loved the next series aswell! top class nate as always!
This is the perfect refresher course, plus level 2 should be an excellent intro into some of the more advanced features of cubase. Thank you in advance for making these courses both high quality but also affordable.
I love how youve got the track colour on the track settings area, as seen in tut 12, can somebody explain how this area is colored, ive only ever been able to colour the very left edge of the track settings , or is it to do with using folders? Thanks in advance
Mnah… Doesn’t give you sufficient knowledge to be self sufficient when things don’t work as described.
Hi there @dsscott
Well, might be very true for all DAWS & related tutorials unfortunately, it just takes time & usage to get around those huge software and master them IMHO. Next to that, don’t forget it’s a “beginner” tutorial.
There’s a second chapter to this first course BTW Cubase 9.5 Beginner Video Tutorial Level 2 | Tutorial 01 - Intro and Playthrough that might be good to follow as well and learn more about Cubase.
Great Tutorial, What I was looking for and more. Thanks for the tips.

I was a Cubase user before SX (although there’s a 10-year hiatus on producing in there), but I will say that I learned at least 10 fantastic things about Cubase that I didn’t know from this Level 1 course. Nate does the absolute best tutorials using Cubase. After I finish Level 2, I’ll have watched all of his stuff on SA, and some of it more than once.
I’m pretty good with Ableton but I like Cubase better. There just aren’t as many Cubase tutorials out there. Thanks, Nate. Glad that you’re a Cubase user because you’re a fantastic teacher.

Coloring folder tracks retains the clips and tracks within folder’s colour schemes so you end up with those multi coloured segments.
This was a fantastic introductory course that filled in a lot of missing pieces… Moving on to the Level 2 course now. I hope to see more of these!!! Thank You!
Had to watch this in several sessions. Slow-moving, but valuable for becoming familiar with Cubase environment. Would recommend with the warning it’s a bit dry in delivery.

This was an excellent course, I am transitioning over to Cubase from Logic Pro X. I love the features Nate highlighted. looking forward to Level 2 and beyond!
Outstanding tutorial. Although I might be biased as I’ve been a Protoculture fan for years, Nate was outstanding in his presentation. I was a Cubase user starting 3SX but have been out of touch since version 7. Nate did a wonderful job of explanation and bringing me back up to speed. Even though I’m running 10.5, everything in this tutorial will work with the latest version. I’m looking forward to Level 2

Terrible literally wasted hours of time I’ve been producing for 10 years now and this guy explains at the speed of a snail.
It’s a Cubase tutorial that aims at beginners as mentioned in the course title, not everyone might benefit of 10 years expertise like you do, remember the day you opened up a DAW for the first time ?? 
uhhh… uhhmmmm… uhhh… uhmmmm… uhhhh… uhmmmmm… uhhhh… uhhhh… uhhhh… uhhmmmm… uhhhh… uhhmmmm… can’t stand the presenter
I can’t see CR & Meter tabs on the right side in my cubase.
I quess its a feature not included in cubase elements version?
Couldn’t find it in the elements manual either but saw it in pro version manual.
Hey there @Tsiro
I think it’s only a feature available in the “pro” version of Cubase. If you check this versions comparison page and expand the “Mixing” section you can see that Control Room & different Meters are only available for the “pro” version.
nice
Is Cubase really as tedious as it seems?
