Producer/Song Writer Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cubase for all of your music recording" March 9, 2021 5.0 I have been using Cubase since 2005. I've recorded everything from a simple acoustic guitar and vocal so a full orchestrated movie soundtrack synced to video. Steinberg is also constantly updating and improving the software with the user in mind. It is state of the art. Pros Most impactful features? Far too many to mention. But the ability to customize my own personal work flow with multiple screens that can be saved for instant recall is awesome. There is nothing Cubase Pro can't do in terms of audio vocal and instrument recording, VST plug-ins, midi, audio to video control with video monitoring and much much more. You can import and export individual tracks or mix your project digitally or in real time. The system is used by Hans Zimmer, which tells you everything you need to know. Cons Cubase can be overwhelming because of it's massive ability. But there are numerous support tutorials on a variety of subjects on both the Steinberg site and on YouTube as well as 3rd party platforms. Switched from [Logic Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/214597/Logic-Pro/)[REAPER](https://www.capterra.com/p/214602/Reaper/) Cubase operates on both Windows and Mac. Logic only operated on Mac. Reaper just wasn't a DAW that I could get used to. Cubase made everything simple. Review Source MID Mohamed Ibrahim D.

CEO Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why you should consider Cubase as a DAW!" December 23, 2021 5.0 Cubase is a massive software excelling at mixing and mastering tasks but offers a high variety of quality audio manipulation and sound design software. Pros The thing I like most about this software is the workflow when it comes to tracking. I feel that the user interface is perfect for that matter in fact. The one thing I also noticed is that tracking gives me better results in Cubase than my other DAW of choice and therefore I prefer Cubase for tackling some tasks. Of course the huge variety of tools that help you make music is just massive with Cubase letting you pass on purchasing some third party plugins that usually are needed to improve your workflow. Cons Only con that I can think of is that like most DAWs, Cubase is a super complex software and definitely not beginner friendly. Luckily, the internet is full of tutorials and certified teachers.

Pros Cubase è sicuramente tra i più completi ed intuitivi. Cons In una situazione di live e mandare sequenze non é il massimo Reason for choosing Cubase Cubase è tra i più intuitivi e completi Switched from [Logic Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/214597/Logic-Pro/) Perché cubase è un programma professionale Review Source JP Jacopo P. Webmaster Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Software essenziale di riferimento per produzione audio" January 19, 2023 5.0 Sicuramente tra i migliori editor audio finora testati per attività di recording e mixaggio, ottimo per la qualità degli strumenti virtuali e della gestione dei plugin. Potrebbe essere più leggero e necessitare di meno memoria, soprattutto per utilizzo su PC non recentissimi. Pros E' un software di riferimento per produzione audio, ricco di funzionalità e con un'ottima interfaccia utente, ottima gestione dei plugin e degli strumenti virtuali. Cons In alcuni casi trovo poco intuitivi alcuni menu e strumenti, inoltre richiede molta memoria e spazio su disco. Alternatives considered [Studio One](https://www.capterra.com/p/214600/Studio-One/) Reason for choosing Cubase E' un editor più completo e riconosciuto, quindi maggiore reperibilità di review e dimostrazioni online e possibilità di condividere i files di mix con altri utenti.

My challenge was always how to map and control both internal and/or external plugins with a midi controller. I use both Keyboard & korg controller. Cubase Focus quick controls have greatly made this easy and gone beyond just mapping…. The quick controls offer the ability to control various plugins and I am able to do custom map the controller very easily. Additionally, now I am able to use the same plugin mapping when i load it on another channel without the need to remap the controller. Awesome! Cons For some reason I have never liked scrolling horizontally in Cubase. It always felt a little mechanical and don’t make a mistake and forget or misplace the dongle. I am glad that upgrading cubase helped address most of my issues. Review Source LB Luca B. Musicista Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### ""Cubase: L'Innovativo Ecosistema Musicale per Professionisti e Appassionati"" January 9, 2024 4.0 Pros Cubase è un software rivoluzionario, garantisce una produzione musicale completa e professionale. Con la sua vasta gamma di funzioni, è indispensabile per compositori, produttori e musicisti di ogni livello. Cons Cubase, sebbene potente, può risultare complesso per i principianti. Alcuni utenti lamentano occasionali problemi di stabilità e richiedono risorse hardware considerevoli per funzionare senza intoppi. Review Source DM Dennis M. Journalist Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Finger weg! Es gibt keinen Kundensupport!" March 27, 2023 2.0 Dass Steinberg/Cubase zu seinen Produkten keinerlei Kundensupport anbietet ist leider absolutes Ausschlusskriterium. Pros An sich eine gute Aufnahme-Software. Die Einrichtung ist zwar etwas mühselig, aber das muss man ja nur ein einziges Mal machen. Cons Leider gibt es keinen Kunden-Support. Im Laufe der Zeit investiert man jedoch recht viel Geld in die Software - daher ganz klar: Lieber einen Hersteller mit Kunden-Support suchen. Review Source JS JESUS S. DIRECTOR Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CUBASE FOR BEGUINERS" July 7, 2021 3.0 At begging it was a good software, unfortunately it didn't evaluate too much. Pros It came to me in 1990, very primitive software, so no complicate to work with, used 15 years, but now there are another more efficient programs, but sure!, more complicate to work with. Cons Very easy to work, no problems of manipulations, and gives you more time to the most important in your musical work: Creation of new musics. Reason for choosing Cubase The most less expensive and the most easy for a beginner. Review Source AM Andy M. Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recording Ideas with Cubase Is Superbly Easy!" February 7, 2021 5.0 I was very surprised at Cubase's scoring notation feature - as this is something I will definitely use. For music to film composers - the whole process of writing music to film is made extremely easy, without the need of purchasing of any external hardware. Pros If you have creative musical ideas and need something to record those special moments with minimum fuss, then Cubase is exactly what you need. The setup for layering tracks in Cubase is straight forward and you'll be able to navigate the interface of the software with keyboard shortcuts, loops and record multiple tracks on-the-fly, without having to stop recording. That's one of the most creative parts of using this program! Cons I had trouble setting up my audio interface and getting drivers for low latency, but with watching a youtube video and a few little tweaks, all was fixed. It would be good if a wizard was built into the audio driver sound device setup. Reason for choosing Cubase The amount of users and forums online gives me the confidence that if ever I'm stuck and I can't get technical support direct from Steinberg, then I will have the chance to get help from other users. The sheer volume of users inside forums or Facebook groups is a healthy sign that Cubase is extremely popular. Review Source LL Luigi L.

Freelance Musician Music Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cubase simple useful helpful. always improving toward becoming more and more professional" April 29, 2022 4.0 Had a kind of short experience with it in comparison to Pro Tools which I've been using for almost 8 years. But currently I downloaded Cubase LE and we'll see how the evolution went so far. Pros Easy to you and Have fluidity in working which gives you fast pace and the feel of control over what you are doing. Great for working with midi and VSTs even better that Pro Tools. Cons Audio Recording through it is not satisfactory as using Pro Tools. Review Source VC Vittorio C. Music Producer Music Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Cubase from producer" July 16, 2023 5.0 I have tried that for some months and than swapped to FL Studio just cause it's way more common and easier to find some good tutorials online and cause i've started with that one. My overall experience with Cubase can be good cause it has all it needs with a professional look Pros Cubase is, compared to other music production software, one of the easiest to use and have a medium price. Easy to set with your instruments and good for live producing with your instruments Cons Cubase is a bit more professional than other more intuitive software like FL Studio for example. It can be a cons for beginners but can be a plus for experienced producers Alternatives considered [FL Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/214598/FL-Studio/) Review Source FF Federico F. Mixer Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mi experiencia con Cubase" August 30, 2023 5.0 Como músico desde un principio me he familiarizado con Cubase y ha sido el único software multipista que he mantenido su uso a lo largo de los años. He probado con otros pero siempre regreso al Cubase. Pros Su facilidad de uso y bajo consumo de recursos lo hace ideal para el trabajo de músicos independientes que no contamos con un gran presupuesto. Es liviano, ágil y consume escasos recursos. Su interfaz gráfica es intuitiva y rápido de aprender. Cons Algunos inconvenientes al seleccionar la placa de audio, aunque quizás no tenga que ver con Cubase, pero en algunas oportunidades se genera algún conflicto que hace que el programa se cierre abruptamente.

Malgré les défis initiaux d'apprentissage et de configuration, le logiciel offre une qualité audio exceptionnelle, une grande variété de fonctionnalités professionnelles et une fiabilité inégalée. Pour les professionnels de l'audio, Cubase est un choix solide pour les productions musicales haut de gamme. Pros J'apprécie particulièrement la qualité audio exceptionnelle, la grande variété de fonctionnalités professionnelles et la fiabilité du logiciel. Cons En tant qu'utilisateur de Cubase, j'ai remarqué que le logiciel peut avoir une courbe d'apprentissage abrupte pour les débutants, et que la configuration des périphériques audio et MIDI peut être complexe. De plus, je note que le prix initial d'achat peut être élevé par rapport à d'autres logiciels de production musicale. Review Source OR Olivier R.

Manager/owner Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software Review" January 8, 2021 5.0 An open minded audio landing/dumping software that can give you or receive back edited or externally manipulated tracks for combination as much as professional standard internal recordings. It's a clearly ambitioned contender or peer for the audio dumping/recording for production and it can handle a generous number of tracks with exceeding fluidity and no huddles. Worth noting, a good audio conversion rate and turn around, data to play back ready audio mono or stereo track. Pros An above standard multi track build on board. It is the ultimate place for building a multi-track audio project for both audio production or video production, it is a good landing/audio dumping and recording platform that can inpart or infull give you the manipulated mastering ready audio. In essence you can do all the production individual track or multi/live tracks for direct or indirect manipulation. Cons Not a tool for the naive, but for its niche much tolerable, for the preparation will hatch grand results. Definately needs someone to boot you in here, or take a few days to get a feel of it. On the contrary a definate professional tool, so it is definately not for the trial and era kind of user. Review Source JLG Jose Luis G.

Pros Cubase es una aplicación super potente para la creación de tus propias producciones musicales con calidad profesional. La integración con instrumentos virtuales es muy sencilla y es una herramienta muy rápida para crear tus canciones grabando diferentes instrumentos y voces. Cons El editor MIDI es algo engorroso y al principio me costó un poco establecer las comunicaciones con mi teclado controlador MIDI. Review Source ED Emmanuel D.

Routing individual channels to groups and sending effects to a desired channel is stress free. Pros Vocal recording and editing is easier in Cubase compared to other DAWS. The default presets are a good starting point for every mix as it gives me an almost accurate settings from EQs to compression. Cons Programming beats takes longer time. And the metering sometimes doesn't translate the actual levels. Review Source EL Ephraim L. Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cubase is my go tool."
