any body have a tuturial book on how to use cubase that i can download thanx in advance

"The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene. It will give you an edge in this cut-throat business. Also, I recommend its sister book, "The Art of Seduction". Make no mistake...it's not about sex. You will see how seducers get what they want, be the courtesans or politicians. recognize when you're being played or courted for someone elses purposes.
 
How about the manual the came with your f*ckng equipment? i think alot of people should read that great book.

i'm also reading 48 laws of power right now, great book. will definately check out the art of seduction.
