Get the Cubase Pro Cheat Sheet here: https://composingacademy.kit.com/cubasecheatsheet This is for composers who are completely new to Cubase Pro 14 and are looking for a place to start. Whether you are a beginner composer discovering a DAW for the first time, or looking to swap from another program, I walk you through the tools and features which will get you composing in no time at all.
