Cubase 5 Music Production Tools
Cubase is the most widely-used sequencing program in the world with well over one million registered users. Designed for professionals from the ground up, Cubase converges extraordinary sound quality, intuitive handling and a vast range of highly advanced audio and MIDI tools for composition, recording, editing and mixing.
The first version of Cubase appeared in 1989 for the Atari ST computer although the programmer, Charlie Steinberg who gave his name to the company, had been creating sequencers for the Commodore 64 and Atari since the early 80s.
The release of Cubase in 1993 on the Atari Falcon was a breakthrough in DSP software technology as realtime manipulation of audio was possible without the assistance of additional processor cards, as was the case with the more costly Pro Tools and other similar systems. Cubase also sports a well-designed and fully functional midi and score editor, which seems to come as an afterthought in many sequencers even Pro Tools. If you want to record and tweak the sound with Cubase''s native reverbs, eq and dynamics, all of the tools of the trade are there and much more improved from a graphic user interface standpoint.
Now owned by Yamaha, Steinberg is greatly benefiting from the music giants ownership. After all Yamaha is the largest musical instruments manufacturer in the world.
Designed for professionals from the ground up, Cubase 5 sets a new standard for integrated music production software by combining powerful audio and MIDI recording, synthesis, editing, mixing and effects. The brand new VST3 effect plug-in set and new first-class VST instruments are only the beginning. There are also new VST instruments, including three outstanding new synthesizers (Prologue, Spector and Mystic as well as HALion One sample player with hundreds of new instruments based on Yamaha Motif waveform), and the new Instrument Track class accelerates handling of VST Instruments and combines MIDI and plug-in automation within the same track.
Tailored for composers, musicians and project studios as well as students and educators, Cubase Studio 5 still offers professional music production technology thanks to a high-quality set of essential tools, but at a lower price point than Cubase 5.
Customers who purchase Cubase 5 will find additional advanced features required for the final production phases including surround support, full Control Room functionality and specialised plug-ins and tools for creating a final mixdown.
These music tools will allow you to write tunes in a way that more directly relates to musical notation. But the input may instead be one of the time value reporters included in the Music Tools. Pro Tools MP3 OptionBy including the Pro Tools MP3 Option, the Music Production Toolkit makes it easy to listen to a new mix on a portable device or quickly share it with other band members without having to use a separate application. We all need the proper tools to create music, and by "tools" I don''t mean acertain brand of instrument or amplifier, but rather the music we hear inside.
In Summary Cubase 5 in my opinion at least is the Dewalt Power tool of the production world. Powerful and Reliable.

How to Produce Music with Synthesizers and Virtual Instruments - Cubase 5 and VST Plugins
This is a guide to basic sound synthesis which will help you in creating music with software and virtual instruments like Cubase and Fruity Loops.
The basic sound that you hear in the patches is produced by the oscillators, and is then fed through the synthesizers signal path. If you set oscillation to a very low pitch, you''ll end up with gaps because the wave form is unceasingly dependent on the speed pitch of the note. And so the different sounds are produced by the shape of the waveform, which is the product of oscillation.
Here's the standard wave form.
For a sharp biting type sound, you need the saw wave. Its named as this because its shape is identical to those on a saw blade
To get a soft mild tone then you''ll want the Sine Wave, which''s shaped like a horizontal S; it has a smooth up and down shape to it.
A specified colour of noise will produce noise even though it is not truly a wave-form
To get that sound that simulates a hollow reed you need the square-wave. This''s distinguishable by its near perfect square out-look.
A variance to the square wave is the pulse-wave, although its merely half as wide. It has the interesting ability to have a modulated width. Perhaps you''ve heard this as being related to as the Pulse Width Modulation.
To find a glad medium between the saw wave and sine wave you would need the triangle-wave, which''s the shape of a triangle.
Most often a synthesizer has 2-3 oscillators. Being as that is the case, you can do a couple of fascinating stuff by mixing the waveforms together. Plus you can tune them so they''re different from one another. It can be tuned in semitones, octaves or in cents. A swirling untuned sound is produced by many oscillators which are cents apart from one another. Cents is a hundredth of a semi-tone.
There is an oscillator recognise as a low frequency oscillator. Its frequencies are undetectable unless you physically tune it into a standard hearing range. Its job is to tone the pitch of the oscillator or the filter frequency.
The start and stop of the waveform is quite evident because the LFOs are like the oscillators in that they all the same use regular wave forms. When utilized the right way for instance the sine-wave allows you to hear an increasing or decreasing sound of the wave shape. Animation and moving texture will be the end result for your synthesizer sound if done properly.
You can harness the full power of an actual synth stack using VST plugins and Cubase. Go ahead. Ride volume on multiple tracks simultaneously. Explore sounds and effects with VST plugins. Mute,solo and record tracks with the push of a button. Open and tweak virtual insutrments and effects plugins easily. Music creation can''t get any easier than this.
If you enjoy producing and recording music, get your hands on VSTPlatinum VST plugins pack Discover how to you create music easily and quickly from home with over 1700 virtual instruments and effects These synth instruments and VST plugins work for Cubase 4, 3, SX, LE, Fruity Loops and other major music creation software.
