Using other forms of music production software – CuBase

After completing the other track (The Beginning) I played it to a selection of people to gauge some feedback, which was largely positive in terms of the track but the overall concession was that I needed, plain and simply, better sounds. The ideas were all there, and it got people moving, it just needed some work on generating really nice initial sounds to work with in the first place. So I set about doing some reading on the internet about other music production softwares available on the market, with 2 standing out as industry standard packages that most digital music producers use, Logic Pro and CuBase. I had already tried Logic before but didn’t find it very user friendly or workable, and as I knew a selection of producers around Bournemouth who used CuBase it seemed the better one to try out, so I set about getting some tutorials and help with using CuBase, this way I could lay out my musical ideas initially then get assistance is generating the sounds I had in my head.
