Hi, Could someone please post a link to a pdf of the manual for Cubase SX2. I need to be able to get to grips with it, it is so different from Cubasis.

Mar 03, 2005 01:08 pm or, buy any of dozens of Cubase books at amazon.com, you can use the search engine at the bottom of the navigation column to search amazon...
Mar 03, 2005 01:53 pm It's strange that a manual wasn't included with the program package.

Mar 03, 2005 02:02 pm the books are more worth it anyway. the books are huge and thorough
Mar 03, 2005 02:21 pm I like to learn by doing, too, but you have to have someplace to start. Does the program at least come with a good tutorial?
It seems to me like pretty poor business practices to charge all that money for a software app, and not show the buyer how to use it.
Pirating software is wrong - it's ILLEGAL - but the sofware makers need to give us some incentives (other than that good feeling you get) for actually buying their products.
I'm speaking out of school, because I have never used Cubase. maybe they have great customer support. It just that I find more and more that the software I buy comes with less and less documentation.
Mar 03, 2005 02:23 pm I totally agree, when I buy a program of the depth and complexity of Cubase I want a friggin book! Thats why I like SOnar, the book is about over 600 pages, and well written!
That said, I do like to learn by doing, but you are right, ya need a good kick in the right direction at first sometimes, and Steinberg is doing themselves no favors by some of the crap they are doing...like this...
Mar 03, 2005 02:25 pm Not to be a jackass but the berg site has SHEDLOADS of stuff man...they do a QUICK START guide which is (yes wait for it) 200 count em 2 0 0 page fekin long!!! Thats a sure QUICK start huh!
They may do a manual, I dunno but they have good online help with the app anyway and its not that difficult to master...I also got a couple of cheap second hand books....nice.
Cubase rocks man

Mar 03, 2005 02:39 pm I know that Cubasis has a tutorial in it, but I don't think that Cubase does. I used SX for a while and it had a huge pdf manual with it, it had everything that I needed to know.
I can't imagine how much it adds to the cost of a piece of software if you have to bundle a 600-page book with it and pay shipping and packaging for that much more volume and weight. Not like cubase is exactly a bargain piece of software tho...
Mar 03, 2005 02:43 pm True, but then, thats what you are paying for. I don't want an online tutorial or help files, I want something I can take to the bathroom with me, take with me when I bring my daughter to dance class, take on the bus to work and that kind of thing...
Mar 04, 2005 03:24 am Thanks everyone. The last part for me is the important bit. Yes, Ive got a great 1000 plus page PDF but my cubasis came with a 16 page quick start guide that you could read in the bath etc. It was this I was looking for.
There is a Quick start guide included but it is over 200 pages long. Oh well, thanks anyway
Coco - whats the berg site?

Mar 04, 2005 11:30 am Actually at one time anybody could get on their FTP site and download documentation for any program they made. I liked that cause then I could read up on it before I actually had the money to buy it. Of course they took away that too.
Mar 04, 2005 07:59 pm The 'berg' site is www.steinberg.net
I personally found the online Manual (CSX2) very good but it's not the same as a hard copy for sure!
