Everything more

While Cubase Artist 6 already offers plenty of stuff to fuel the musicians’ toolkit, its bigger brother Cubase gives producers and engineers unlimited possibilities. Explore what’s possible and go beyond — with Cubase it just doesn’t matter how many audio or MIDI tracks your clients require. Whether you record an orchestra with up to 256 different audio sources in 192 kHz / 24-bit, a huge live rock show, or a newcomer trio in the studio, Cubase is sublime in every sense of the word.

Major advantages:

  • 64 audio tracks
  • 128 MIDI tracks
  • 32 physical inputs
  • 96 kHz sampling rate support
  • 32 group channels
  • 32 instrument tracks
  • VST instrument rack with 32 instrument slots


Drum editing deluxe

Developed in conjunction with recording professionals and top-flight studio drummers, Cubase offers a complete toolset to perfect the rhythm, feel and flavor of live-recorded drum tracks. Whether it is about non-destructively correct timing issues or changing the tempo of a drum performance — a tight groove is just a few clicks away.

Intuitive multitrack editing

Cubase is equipped with Track Edit Groups for simple and efficient editing of multitrack recordings. Saving time and effort, this function allows multitrack editing with single click actions.


VariAudio

VariAudio is the perfect tool for improving or changing vocal lines in a very intuitive and musical way — even after the singer has left the studio. Incorporating cutting-edge algorithms and an easy-to-use interface, VariAudio allows to change the tempo and pitch of monophonic audio recordings, without noticeable artifacts and without affecting the soul and quality of the original source.

Bridging the gap between traditional MIDI and audio editing, all notes detected in the audio material can be converted to MIDI notes. In conjunction with the revolutionary Note Expression feature, this opens up further creative possibilities, such as building new arrangements or orchestrations on top of recorded vocals — a whole new approach to using vocal melodies in the creative process.

VST Expression 2

VST Expression 2 revolutionizes working with instrument articulations by allowing seamless and transparent editing of articulations and dynamics in the Key and Score Editors.

Note Expression as the newest addition to the VST Expression feature set is the smart way to assign, create and edit multiple controller values directly on single note level — all in one handy graphical interface. The perfect choice for demanding orchestral arrangements and creating unique sound effects, Note Expression allows controller values to be drawn directly onto single note events in the Key Editor. Breaking the traditional MIDI limitations opens up entire new creative possibilities — imagine a chord containing different filter sweeps, volume curves or dynamic expressions for every single note.

MIDI Devices

With MIDI Devices you can create you very own custom MIDI maps and take control of your hardware or software equipment with variable User interface components by transmitting MIDI CCs or even sysex data. Cubase also includes ready made maps to use for several types of instruments and effects.

Music notation and score printing

The Score Editor is a completely integrated full notation environment, which lets you view and print your music in the form of scores, with full support for just about all symbol, display and editing options that this entails. With support for lyrics and remarks, as well as drum notes, guitar tablature and lead sheets, the Cubase Score Editor includes hundreds of professional notation symbols. Simply select the tools needed to create fully professional score layouts for others, including soloists, orchestras and choirs.

Additional automation modes and tools

Cubase features more automation modes and tools, including a dedicated automation panel that is serving as a central point of control for all automation settings. Cubase also offers more commands to manipulate automation data such as the Suspend Read and Write options, which exclude parameters from playing back or recording automation data, adding extra security when automating large projects.

True surround

Mixing for surround or thinking of moving to surround? The fully surround-capable architecture developed for Cubase puts all these capabilities at your command in the context of a surround mix. All Cubase VST 3 plug-ins are fully surround-ready, intelligently adapting their I/O configuration as required for mono, stereo or surround. With its complete multi-channel audio signal path from input to output and the ability to export to the MP3 surround format for convenient delivery and distribution, Cubase offers a consistent  end-to-end surround workflow.

Control Room

Engineered exclusively for Steinberg and unavailable on any other software workstation, the Control Room section is a unique recording and monitoring environment seamlessly integrating performer mixes and monitoring setups into your recording and mixing workflow. Control Room enables you to control and switch between several different speaker setups in different configurations on the fly, create and manage up to four unique studio mixes feeding performers their own tailored mix, use the integrated talkback function, and manage audio sources feeding from tape, CD or DVD — all from one easy-touse panel.

External effects and instruments

Cubase supports the integration of external effect devices and external instruments, such as hardware synthesizers or hardware signal processors, into the sequencer signal flow. Just define the necessary send and return ports and access the instruments/effects through the VST Instruments window. When you put them on an insert slot, the external FX/instruments are loaded into the effect slot just like a regular effect/instrument plug-in. It’s that easy!

Channel Batch Export

The Channel Batch Export is a new way of exporting individual tracks to create archives or exchange projects with other production systems. As an extension of the Export Audio Mixdown window, Channel Batch Export allows the export of the audible output of a multiple selection of mixer channels to audio files. Channel Batch Export is also an ideal way of reorganizing a project to give the maximum available CPU power, with all files and VSTi tracks exported to audio tracks, freeing up system resources.

Professional format support

Cubase supports industry standards such as the project interexchange OMF format (import and export), standard MIDI, Wav, Aiff, MP3, OGG, Rex2, SD2, WMA, W64. The state-of-the art video engine also supports HD videos with common formats.
