Hello my Friends and Welcome to The Digital Audio Manual, Preview Edition.  While there are many kinds of videos listed here, some of these videos are different from others.  Firstly, there is a list of recent YouTube videos along the lower right to view.   These videos are produced for the general public, and they give a broad representation of what the Digital Audio Manual is all about.  They are listed here mainly to make  your searching and browsing as easy as possible, without having to dig through long menus or online screens.  But then, Secondly, there is a large selection of very specialized content that is the core subject matter of the Digital Audio Manual.  This content is produced specifically to take you to a higher level of expertise using Cubase, Wavelab and other music software. 

This content has been worked, reworked, and is constantly being updated.  The main title headings are listed here so you can see  the  subjects, but the actual viewable content for these titles is reserved for "members only" and requires registration to view.   

After watching the free YouTube videos for a while, and becoming familiar with the style, approach, and depth of the subject matter,  you may find yourself wanting to go to the next level.  So then, when you are ready to significantly up your skill set in Cubase, Wavelab, and other music software, without all the mystery and confusion of searching though the product manuals and endless random tutorial videos,   click any of the "Get Access" Links listed here for Unlimited Viewing of all the "Members Only Content". 

With the "Members Only Content" everything is laid out in easy step-by-step fashion, taking you from start to finish, beginning to end, and showing you all the tips, tricks and techniques that you will rarely, if ever, see anywhere else.  Even with everything you see here, it is only a fraction of what you get with the "Members Only Content".

So Welcome to The Digital Audio Manual, browse and learn from your topics of interest

 

"Andrews tutorials demonstrate a deep understanding of WaveLab (which is quite rare!), and he has a talent for explaining it clearly :)"
