An excellent product highly recommended. I started with very little knowledge of Cubase and music production. Following completion of Level 1 I can now find my way confidently around Cubase and no longer am intimidated by such a complex specialist product. After a couple of months I bought level 2. As with Level 1 the explanations are logical, clear and straightforward, and the topics are right on the money. If you find that the later parts of a particular topic are too detailed (there are 3 parts for the drum editor alone) then you just skip them until you find you need more information. The fact that it is on DVD means that if you are as dense as I am you can review and review again any sections which are do not immediately make sense. If you are starting out then get Level 1 first. If you already know your way around Cubase (I use SL by the way an nearly everything applies) then go straight for Level 2. Well worth the money in my opinion.
