Start using MIDI instruments to create life-like and realistic music by combining MIDI concepts with Cubase’s powerful feature set. This course offers Cubase users a broad range of specific methods and best practices for producing realistic music using MIDI and virtual instruments.
Historically, MIDI music sounded stiff and obviously fake. But, in recent years that has changed and MIDI (along with professional sound libraries) are capable of sounding totally and completely authentic. Before a producer can achieve a realistic result, they need to learn how to use MIDI CC, Velocity and automation.
This course not only offers a comprehensive training on those vital MIDI skills, but we’ll also see how Cubase is uniquely positioned to offer a super-flexible and powerful workflow for composers and producers to make their musical ideas a reality! Follow along with downloadable projects and after learning how to do it, I’ll outline a project that you can complete to see how realistic MIDI can really sound! Let’s get started!
