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? 
I give up!
Hey there @PhatDawg
Every DAW will be rather intimidating when starting to learn about it, there’s no secret : it takes time & practice and there’s nothing wrong about this, we’ve all been there once 
Take your time and learn the basics at your own pace, you’ll feel more comfortable with time and it will become much more intuitive. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed at the start but it’s the point where you should not give up.
Once you get around the basic DAW workflow and how to work with Midi & Audio you’ll already feel more at ease and will be able to get some results, then over time you’ll learn more about advance features, effects …etc.
Some DAWs might feel more intuitive to use than others and that’s where each producer has it’s own preference, but again, it won’t happen overnight and it takes some time. Now if you feel like Cubase isn’t your thing after some time, then try to demo other DAWs as well, but giving up right from the start is a mistake in my humble opinion, don’t forget that it took many years to any renowned producers to get their knowledge and feel at ease with using their DAW and music production techniques.
Keep it up going and don’t let yourself being impressed by all those menus & options, DAWs are very powerful software, especially nowadays, think about a photographer that will decide to dive into digital pictures editing with something like Adobe Photoshop, it’s ok to feel lost right from the start, nothing wrong with that
Personally I find it the fastest DAW to work in by far… everybody’s experience is different though. Its also probably the most complex too… just takes practice.

It was designed for people who haven’t used Cubase… go check out one of my track walk throughs rather if you want more advanced Cubase tutorials.
