Cubase

Cubase is probably the single most popular piece of music software on the planet. This incredibly powerful software production studio allows the user to both record, mix and master audio as well as add MIDI music (including Reason and Ableton Live) to the mix. There are no limitations, you can add as many audio and MIDI tracks to a piece as your computer¿s CPU will allow, and when the CPU gives up, you can combine tracks and keep on adding. Students will learn how to capture, sculpt and shape analogue audio recording such as vocals or acoustic instruments (as well as electric instruments) within Cubase. This will be the software package most used in the EMP program to bring a student¿s musical composition to completion.
