Cubase

Cubase is a digital audio workstation software that is for music production and reccording. The software offers tools used for reccording, producing, and mixing of sound that can be formated to audio files ready for production. Cubase provides a series of MIDI sequencers packaged in a familiar user experience.

Audio Warp Quantize

Warp-quantize multiple audio tracks at once using the convenient Quantize panel. By creating warp markers straight from hitpoints, both single audio loops as well as the entire arrangement can be non-destructively quantized with a single mouse click — just like MIDI parts. Importantly, because the audio events are warped, rather than sliced, they automatically follow any tempo or pitch changes of your project, while remaining uncluttered for easy arrangement.

Advanced Channel Strip

The channel strip modules are the very heart of our exceptional sound. Carefully crafted in close collaboration with seasoned audio engineers who have many years of experience working with the best hardware mixing consoles, the channel strip modules are integrated into every channel and deliver the stunning, professional mixer quality essential for you to turn your music into fantastic productions.

Basic Channel Strip

In the basic channel strip version, just like in the advanced version, you can assign modules directly to the specific channel. However, the basic version does not offer the full effects palette. Cubase AI and LE users have an even more streamlined version of the Channel Strip. The full range offered by the advanced channel strip can be found in Cubase Pro and Cubase Artist.

MIDI Remote

MIDI controllers are essential to every music production setup. MIDI Remote Scripts will help to automatically detect your device and map the controls. If there is no script for your device yet, you can easily create your own with the MIDI Controller Surface Editor. You can then conveniently connect controls and parameters with the Mapping Assistant.

Chord Pads

This inspiring tool helps you compose music quickly and creatively. It is very easy to get “stuck” when writing chord progressions but, with the fast and easy-to-use Chord Pads, fresh inspiration will always be close at hand. Jam with chords and patterns in real time and control multiple parameters to change chords as you go. The chord pads are playable via a MIDI controller and real-time parameters allow you to easily improvise chord performances by changing voicings, tensions and much more while you are letting the music and inspiration carry you along!

Comping 

Create the perfect version of a recording from multiple takes. Few performers are skilled enough to always get it “right the first time”’ in the recording environment, so comping is a vital part of the process. When recording several takes in a loop, Lanes are created instantly for each track being recorded. From here, it is very simple to create the perfect version. Simply swipe across the best parts and a master take containing all selected parts will be created automatically. In addition, the Comp tool offers extremely useful click-and-drag features for instant results.

Sampler Track 2

Take any piece of audio and use it to create a Sampler Track. You can then play the sample chromatically and manipulate it with the onboard filters, controls and two LFOs, experimenting to come up with new and innovative ideas. Slicing mode chops up your loops so they’re ready-to-play with just a click while, for the 808 lovers, there’s the mono legato glide.

MixConsole

Cubase's MixConsole excels not only in terms of usability, look and feel, but also sounds like a high end analog mixing console. Featuring a scalable, dedicated full-screen mode, the MixConsole is optimized for mouse-free operation - virtually all channel elements are accessible via the computer keyboard and screen reader software for the visually impaired. Featuring View Sets and Channel Zones for the utmost flexibility, ‘one click’ direct routing, customizable track icons, track notepad, drag-and-drop support and plug-in / channel search function, the it feels like having a state-of-the-art mixing console in your computer - and sounds like it, too.

VariAudio 3 

VariAudio offers fully-integrated vocal editing and pitch change of individual notes in monophonic vocal recordings, allowing you to solve intonation and timing problems with just a few clicks. Editing vocal lines in the Sample Editor is as fast and seamless as if editing MIDI notes in the Key Editor. Full integration with the Chord Track ensures correct pitch for your harmonies at all times, even letting you harmonize your lead vocals in stunning choral arrangements. Smart Controls significantly speed up your workflow by allowing direct control of all parameters at each segment. You can edit the micro pitch level for smooth drifts and transitions, adjust the formant shift for perfect natural tones or drastically transform your recordings with extreme pitch corrections… and everything in between. And if you want the popular ‘robot voice’ effect, it’s easily achieved!

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. You can even let the Scale Assistant analyze your MIDI recording and suggest the right scale.

Groove Agent SE

Possibly the most comprehensive drum production software instrument ever produced, 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. Groove Agent SE features an exceptionally powerful beat production toolkit, ready to help you create the best beats, whatever genre you’re working in. Produce floor-shaking sounds and dancefloor-filling grooves with an array of incredible sample manipulation tools, FX, slice editors and much more. Thanks to its deep integration, you will be able to see the instruments mapped automatically as drum maps into the Drum Editor and Beat Designer.

Spectral Comparison EQ

Clean up overlapping frequencies with the comparison mode in the Channel EQ. Create room for each instrument by comparing and editing the spectral curves from two different tracks within one EQ display.

Advanced Audio Export

Sync your export selection to the selection in your project. You can export the full signal path, including master bus effects, to truly replicate the mix. In addition Cubase lets you collect your export jobs and export the whole queue in one go.

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. Cubase allows you to create and manage up to four unique studio mixes to feed performers with their own tailored mix, use the integrated talkback function and manage feeds from external audio sources.

Easy side-chaining

This commonly-used technique is very popular in contemporary music production and has a wide range of creative applications, from creating the well-known bass ‘pumping effect’ or making space for the kick drum in your mix to many other sonic effects. It is also a very helpful tool for sound designers to use a sound source to modulate the behavior of a totally different sound, creating interesting ambiences or otherworldly effects. Our straightforward side-chain setup lets you create the desired routing with just a few clicks. Activate side-chaining in your FX plug-in, select the source from the track list and it is ready to go.
