![]() This is a continuously expanding resource, so if you want to keep track of the latest uploads please subscribe to my monthly spam-free ‘Small-studio Secrets News’ mailing list – I usually post towards the end of the month. If you have any projects of your own that you’d be willing to post (or link to) here, then do get in touch. If you’d like to search for projects with specific instruments, track counts, download sizes, or Discussion Zone thread counts, then check out the new beta-version library search page.Īs well as the multitracks hosted directly on this site, I’ve also included links to a few other decent downloads I’ve discovered on other sites. My dedicated Suggestions For Newbies page. If you’re new to mixing, you can find some beginner-friendly projects on In both cases a preview mix is provided for easy auditioning while browsing through the list. ( Download problems?) In addition to the Full Multitrack packages, there are also many quick-download Edited Excerpt versions (usually featuring the song’s biggest chorus) which provide ‘bite-sized’ mixing assignments well-suited to classroom use. When importing the tracks, just make sure all the files start at exactly the same moment in time within your DAW’s timeline. For maximum mixdown flexibility, the contributors have made every effort to provide audio ‘raw’, in other words without additional effects or processing (beyond treatments printed during tracking/editing). All these projects are presented as ZIP archives containing uncompressed WAV files (24-bit or 16-bit resolution and 44.1kHz sample rate). ![]() ![]() There are some excellent video resources though (yes, I know … you want a book!) such as macProVideo and Streamworks Audio, and don’t forget Steinberg’s YouTube channel.To support readers of my book Mixing Secrets For The Small Studio, as well as music-technology students/educators in general, here’s a list of multitrack projects which can be freely downloaded for mixing practice purposes. The only other alternative is use a printing service but I would tend to agree with keyman_sam’s recommendation to work through a project with the PDF open on an additional screen. I was amongst those who lamented the move to PDF-only manuals with Cubase 6, and still keep my paper Cubase 5 manual on the shelf. That being said, there are one or two books that are still helpful even though they were written around the time of Cubase 5 or 6, in particular Steven Millward’s “Fast Guides”. The problem is simply that any paper book on Cubase already has a very limited market, and given that there is only at most a two-year window per version, few publishers are going to be interested in risking publishing anything that specific. Unfortunately the same technology that makes Cubase possible has killed paper books, along with all the other “old-school” things like jokes and actual social interaction. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on Youtube and they have been incredibly helpful but once again not a replacement for a solid hard copy reference.Īnyways, any recommendations are more than helpful! We were fighting more than making music and it was rare that I finished anything due to frustration with the DAW… I installed a trial version of Cubase to troubleshoot a hardware issue I was having with a couple USB connected synths and Sonar, and not only did I find that everything worked great but I found a much better and inspiring workflow in Cubase! For years I felt like Sonar and I were the couple that should have broken up but stayed together mostly out of familiarity. (I’ve been doing this for 25 years!) so I’m not looking for an intro to home recording book. I already know the basics of audio recording, DAW use, MIDI, etc. I absolutely can’t stand reading PDFs and I’m not going to print out 1000+ pages. Since nobody provides hardcopies of the manuals I find that I miss out on some of the cool features that these toys provide because I’m not reading the manual any more. In the past when I got a new piece of hardware/software I would take the manual to a coffee shop, get jacked on caffeine and read it cover to cover highlighting the stuff I liked, taking notes in the margins, dog-earing important pages and adding my own index in the back cover. I’m an old school hardcopy manual reading guy, does anybody have any recommendations of books to buy for learning Cubase? Hey guys - Longtime (20+ years) Cakewalk/Sonar user here transitioning to Cubase…
