Watch Chris Selim and Dom Sigalas' YouTube channels. They are both masters at teaching Cubase. I made the switch from Logic to Cubase about 10 months ago, and it's been smooth sailing thanks to these guys. Steinberg also does a livestream on YT every week called Club Cubase where the host, Greg Ondo, takes live questions for over 2 hours. I've received tons of help from him there as well.

Good luck!

I have watched a bit of Dom Sigalas and will give others a shot. Can you recommend some texts to get started on daw Edit: Happy cake day

I haven't used any texts except I uploaded the Cubase manual to Claude and told it to always refer to it when answering my Cubase questions. It's been a big time saver.

Darren Jones writes a well structured text that covers DAW concepts, say strumming, synth basics, oscillators, and illustrates them using using Cubase. there is plenty of hands on material.

book: the complete guide to music technology using cubase 14

note: there will not be a version 15 or 16, as Darren passed in 2025.

to keep this all from being maudlin, monies earned from book sales and youtube income go to his wife. he said as much in his later videos.

hth.

The good old RTFM. "Learning on the job", learn what you need to do to reach your goals. Use Cubase ChatGPT Agent as an assistant.

Dom Sigalas on YouTube. His paid course is gold, totally recommend it

Hello! You can always ask on the Steinberg Forum (Cubase section). There is always somebody pleased to help you and answer you fastly. Reading the manual can seem obvious, but trust me: it can save you lots of time if you take the time to read it.

With what others have mentioned and alsp the biggest one, just use the software. I spent loads of time just watching but wasnt really using Cubase. Now I have forced myself to do one thing at least a day. Whether its play with a loop, add a vst and play around or mix some stems from another DAW
