Before using Cubase definitely read some of the manual. The most important part is understanding what Cubase is. It's an audio/midi sequencer. It doesn't come with samples. I suggest you learn more about midi and how to use it. Another thing you need to know is what a VST is since you don't have any hardware. There are virtual instruments such as synths and samplers that can provide you with sounds to sequence in Cubase. I don't know what version of Fruity Loops you use but the latest versions have VST support. One more thing most people will tell you is to not use the samples that come with Fruity Loops. Make/sample your own sounds.
It will most likely NOT come to you overnight. When I first played with Cubase I was completely baffled. Then after 6 months of reading about it and playing with other programs like Reason it made a lot more sense. --kev/entitee http://entitee.com/dnb on 4/23/02 6:28 PM, Vince Royer at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Just some quick questions regarding cubase.
