    I am not that active on social media, but I must comment. Your video is a breath of fresh air. Your honesty, kindness, knowledge, self deprecation and genuine joyous spirit are priceless during these times. I feel less alone. Also, you are extremely helpful for a newbie who is wondering through the wilderness, having spent $1000 Canadian and bought all the nice orchestra and drum samples, but has nothing to show for it yet. Justification is needed before my wife sees the the credit bill :). I sincerely thank you for your help and wish all the best to you and your family. I don't know if I will be able to put an actual piece of music together... but I know, if I do, I will have you to thank for it.

Thank you for making me laugh AND get up and running on some basics. Your tutorials make me feel like I'm sitting here working with a friend and colleague, which is really wonderful. Thank you thank you.

    I meant to write this comment back in December 2019. I discovered your channel around November 2019. I think you have a brilliant style in both teaching and entertaining. I also think that you are a deeply emotional person and that shows in both your music and the way you teach. The self confessional style works (at least for me). Back in December I also thought to my self "This guy (;) would probably be better off with an updated business model that revolves around free distribution of his excellent content (pure infotainment) and not the old "infomercial" style that he employs in some of his videos. Before I had the chance to share that opinion, your 2020 videos did just that and are now no.1 on my list of content to relish during the best part of the day. Thank you a lot.

    A great teaching video. I have watched many Cubase videos and they are all so pristine and clinical, not to mention the speed of delivery. As a Cubase "learner" (I started with Cubasis VST years ago and never got the hang of it) it's nice to see what can go wrong when you try to "have a go". I like your jovial style, and your voice ain't bad, just like me and many others that first try vocalising to a computer.
    I learnt more from your video than loads of others, who use the PRO version and not just the Elements version which most of us start with. Thanks

    Guy, what a star you are, you have saved my bacon.
    I'm a not so young, 60 something, come back Trumpet player of G3 level. I belong to a community concert band on the South Coast here in the UK and am happy being in the section on 3rd stand.
    As a result of lockdown the band has embarked on an online project to put a track out their using a click track. What a scary and different experience that is, no safety in numbers, no one else counting those rest bars. I got a video recording down on my old Sony Camorder, that was shakey!!!!. I've purchased a Zoom hand held recorder to help with practice that came with CUBASE. Well, to cut a long story short thanks to your fantastic video, I've never used any music tech before I've now sent in an audio file that our compiler can tweak.
    If my take makes the cut and the band put our tune, What a Wonderful World - Emsworth Concert Band, up there I'll owe you a pint.
    You now have a new member to your channel.

The only fix I’ve found is to move the modulation wheel which gets the audio back. Anyway, now trying Cubase Elements 10.5 which seems more stable and have bought Guys music theory course so really enjoying working my way through. So, thanks Guy, very useful and entertaining. 🎵👍
