Presentation

BY NAOMI STARKEY WITH HELP FROM SOPHIE MCKENZIE

To star of using Cubase you need to open a new project. To do this you go to File, click new project.

Two different pages will pop up on the screen, just press ‘ok’ to both of them things

This is what should open, if not try again.

How to Start up!

Right Click in the dark blue area and then click on the add instrument

Once you have clicked on ‘add instrument’ you will get a choice of instruments ,choose what instrument you want to add to the song.

Click on the draw button (or the pencil)

Draw a section on the bar area.

Double click on the part you just drew, a screen should appear that looks like this

Click on the draw button again, and pick a note a draw a line for the length you want it to play for

Put notes in the places you want to make a tune , once happy with the placement you can press the play button to hear your song.

Press the ‘x’ button to close the instrument page, don’t close the main browser as it will get rid of your work .

You can copy and paste the track piece by selecting the piece you want to copy, press ‘ctrl’ and ‘c’ to copy and ‘ctrl’ and ’v’ to past paste it next to it so it looks like this.

Do this till you are happy with the length and sound of the song.

Once you have done this you can use equalisation to finish it off.

Equalization:Equalization is the adjustment of specific

frequencies, to alter the tonal balance or to remove unwanted frequencies

Click on the little E, to enter the

equalization and change the sound of

the song

Turn all 4 of these on.

Then you can move the numbers around to get the desired sound

What I haven’t used:

•Adding notes with mouse.•Steptime input•Changed notes, position and pitch•Copy and paste (with mouse and keyboard)•Used EQ

What I have used:

•A soft ware mixer •Digital effects (such as chorus)•Adding note with MIDI keyboards•velocity
