Production in any genre
Reach your creative potential whether you’re getting started, bringing your tracks to a pro level, or streamlining your workflow for short deadlines. From recording and arranging to sound design and beatmaking to mixing and mastering, Cubase houses a full workflow for modern music makers.
Next-generation audio engine
The award-winning Cubase audio engine features crystal-clear, 64-bit floating-point resolution at a 192 kHz sample rate, delivering pristine sound quality. It also includes true surround capability, with each track and channel offering up to six channels for 5.1 surround mixes.
Compose with Chord Pads
It's easy to get 'stuck' with chord progressions. Compose quickly and creatively with the easy-to-use Chord Pads, allowing you to jam with chords and patterns in real time and control multiple parameters to change chords as you go. Use a MIDI controller to easily improvise chord performances by changing voicings, tensions, and much more.
Easy comping
Create the perfect take with streamlined comping workflows. When recording several takes, Lanes are created instantly for each track being recorded. Simply swipe across the best parts to automatically create a master take, and use the Comp tool's useful click-and-drag features for instant results.
Built-in channel strip
Carefully crafted in close collaboration with seasoned audio engineers, the channel strip modules are integrated into every channel and deliver the stunning, professional mixer quality essential for turning your music into fantastic productions.
VariAudio 3
VariAudio offers editing and pitch-correction of individual notes in vocal recordings, allowing you to solve intonation and timing problems with just a few clicks. Full integration with the Chord Track ensures correct pitch for harmonies, even letting you harmonize lead vocals. Edit micro pitch level for smooth drifts and transitions, adjust formant shift for natural tones, and transform your recordings with extreme pitch corrections.
Scale Assistant
Set your song’s scale in the Key Editor and follow its lead, quantize a solo to the scale, or play live in perfect tune. You can change the view to only see the notes of the set scale, and you can even let the Scale Assistant analyze MIDI recordings to suggest the right scale.
MixConsole
MixConsole not only excels in terms of usability, look, and feel, but it also sounds like a high-end analog mixing console. Featuring View Sets and Channel Zones for maximum flexibility, ‘one click’ direct routing, customizable track icons, track notepad, drag-and-drop support, and plug-in / channel search functions.
Groove Agent SE
Groove Agent features a huge library of stunning samples, grooves, and patterns, as well as a full virtual mixer and FX suite for even more creative options. Produce floor-shaking sounds and dancefloor-filling grooves with an array of incredible sample manipulation tools, FX, slice editors, and much more.
Sampler Track 2
Turn any audio into a Sampler Track, allowing you to play the sample chromatically and manipulate it with filters, controls, and two LFOs. Use 'slicing mode' to chop up your loops for easy use and enable the mono legato glide function for bending leads and 808s.
Control Room
Control Room is a unique recording and monitoring environment, which seamlessly integrates performer mixes and monitoring setups into your recording and mixing workflow. Create and manage up to four unique studio mixes to feed performers their own tailored mix, use the integrated talkback function, and manage feeds from external audio sources.
