Summary: RIP OFF!
Comment: Anybody who learned a lot from this book is NOT an advanced Cubase SX user-PERIOD. Maybe a barely intermediate user who has never bothered with the comprehensive PDF manual included with the SX(2) program, or bought and used "CUBASE SX/SL2 POWER" (by Robert Guerin) will have some "gee wiz, I didn't know that" moments reading this book.
This is the what I can tell you based on my 1000++ hours working with Cubase SX2 and VST32 before that: As much as you can stand reading e-books on screen, do just that with comprehensive manual Steinberg includes on the program CD--90%+ of what you are wondering is in there (and fairly well written) Also make sure you have a copy of "Cubase SX?SL2 Power!" by Robert Guerin. It is essentially a (slightly rewritten) hardcopy version of the Steinberg e-book manual. The e-book manual can sit minimized and ready on you computer while you're exploring the program, the other can come with you to Starbucks or substitute for warm milk when you need to fall asleep at night. Another thing, if your plug-ins (get WAVE brand, if nothing else) come with pdf manuals-READ THEM. And don't expect to soak the material up like a sponge. It's more like read some, use program some, read some, use program some--READ AGAIN, use program more...repeat...
>>Another thing, the Cubase Help section (in the program) supplements the manual beautifully-use it like crazy-its great!-very concise and well organized--a true session saver-especially the section organized by menu hierarchy.
And skip this lame excuse of a "Prostart" rip-off. Why a rip-off? Because it is FAR LESS INFORMATIVE (even selectively) than the Cubase manual itself. So by reading it I learned practically nothing, and just became increasingly annoyed by its persistent superficiality (and by the thought of being taken for $30 of wasted wood pulp)

Summary: Decent book, some basic and some advanced tips
Comment: This book was decent. It has some pretty good tips about things to try while recording and mixing. It also did an adequate job of explaining some of the more complex nuances of SX.

Summary: Superb book for Cubase SX users(must have)
Comment: 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: The BEST book for users of Cubase SX, advanced or beginner!
Comment: 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!

Producing one’s own music on the computer today is no longer limited to playing instruments and arranging them. To make full use of the software and to keep control over the whole production process from the idea to the CD, a musician must also be a sound engineer and mastering expert. This easy-to-read and practical book helps the reader improve his arranging, mixing and mastering skills, using the powerful features Cubase SX/SL has to offer. Apart from a basic introduction into sound engineering it provides numerous tips and tricks to help the user improve his results significantly. Mixing and Mastering in Cubase SX/SL is the companion for both beginners and advanced users alike. An enclosed CD-ROM includes a demo version of Cubase SX and lots of audio examples.
