It depends on what sort of sound you want to make. The best way to start off would be to get a kick drum going. Do you have any samples (i.e. .wav files) of gabba kicks? If so, go into Cubase, right-click on the blueish grey part to the left of the actual sequencer, choose ‘Add Audio Track’, then go to ‘File’>’Import Audio’ and the kick drum waveform should appear on the sequencer… Then it’s a case of arranging them into a 4/4 format, so they are hitting every beat (4 times in 1 bar).

If you want to create sounds yourself, you’ll need to learn synthesis (pretty difficult to get a grip of at first, but SO fun when you learn what parameter does what). You can always use the presets tho. Anyway, if you wanna do this, right click on that blueish grey area again and select ‘Add Instrument Track’. A little box should appear with a drop-down menu, which should list all of the instruments (i.e. synths) that come with Cubase. I’d recommend getting a third party plug-in though; something like Vanguard is good to learn synthesis with.

Hope I haven’t confused you too much, lol. Hope you get your head around it as music production is just the most awesome thing ever.

OK… ive installed Z3ta+ which Daft recommended to me. But i dunno how to get a sound. Have no samples. A deep bassline would be good aswell. Wanna try an make either some speedcore or jungle. Know of any good tutorial on the net that you dont have to pay for?
