Daughter has saved to buy Cubase 12 and now wants me to help her learn. Looking at it I don’t have a clue what Im doing! Any advice on resources, methods etc we could use to learn together?

    First of all, well done in taking the time and willingness to learn in your daughter’s interest.

    Few things come to mind:

    You can install cubase 12 on up to the devices, so if you had a sister laptop lying about you could fiddle with it too and do the “oh, oh look what I found moments”.

    There are a lot of resources for getting started on YouTube. Just literally type in “cubase beginner”, and you’ll get the likes of Dom and Guy pop up.

    Learn to drag and drop (or import) songs from artists and play about with adding inserts to see what they do, get used to the interface, get used to the mixer (f3)… Don’t be afraid to explore and press all the buttons, that’s how I learnt, and oh fun fact that a lot… a lot of people don’t actually realise… There is a manual!! Obviously don’t read the whole thing, but a “what’s that do” is very helpful for quick guides.

    Have fun and it sounds like you will have great craic between you figuring out this behemoth of a software!!
