These are technical types.Īnd Type 2 (myself included) who really need a step by step walk through or to be shown by someone who gets it. Type 1 who have a sense of how these things work after reading even an incomplete or confusing manual (such as the one I got with Cubase 7) and through intuition or whatever can resolve these issues rather quickly. I studied programming for a year back in 2000 and I learned there are 2 types of people. Setting it up In Cubase Studio 4 ( my previous version) was a breeze - almost automatic. I reviewed the manual to see what I was doing wrong. I just purchased Cubase 7 and have been struggling to setup and run the Toontracks EZDrummer VST instrument plugin with very little success. While I agree that many people are looking for shortcuts, I have to disagree that you can assume this is the case or that they haven’t tried to resolve the issue by reading the manual first. BTW…I am now a professional audio engineer and there is never a day at the studio that I am not grateful for those in the forums that were kind enough to understand what it was like to be in the overwhelming position of a novice. Many times coming up empty because somebody shut me down, assuming I hadn’t done the leg work.

No harm intended by my comments here…I just can’t help but remember when I was learning and posting on forums. And if you don’t know the difference between using a VST and getting a VST application to run in your DAW, then maybe you should think twice before giving a beginner that DOES know the difference, your advice. Neither does Cubase6 LE…Just a suggestion…but it’s always healthy to realize, that just because someone is new to the scene…it doesn’t always mean that they are the ones that need to do the searching around the forum…assuming they haven’t read the pdf…etc. I know that this is an older thread…but I couldn’t help but add a bit more… Cubase5LE …DOES NOT have the VST instrument option in the devices menu.
