Creative Projects with Cubase VST

By fostering creativity and showing how to apply that creativity to song composition and production within the Cubase environment, this guide demonstrates the process of music idea acquisition and how to develop, record, and mix those ideas into a whole. Geared toward helping musicians and students interested in writing musical scores for computer games, TV soundtracks, advertising jingles, and multimedia presentations, it offers musicians a series of practical projects that teach composition through example, providing insight into the creative process. Projects include creating a rock score, developing a jazz funk score, inventing a melody, and creating a TV sitcom theme.
