![]() Essentially this lets you save mixer states, name them, add notes and then flip between them to test different mix treatments. MixConsole itself gets a new Snapshots feature, which I already can’t imagine being without. ![]() It’s all still integrated with the Chord Track too, so generating harmonies is straightforward. You can pick up pitch and micro pitch, select points in a sound at which you want transitions and changes to start, make smooth changes or dramatically change formants for a robot effect. It’s still best suited to monophonic vocal lines, but Steinberg’s claim that editing vocal audio tracks is now as easy as working with MIDI data is justified. It adds new smart tools, letting you get control of every parameter in each segment of audio when in VariAudio edit mode. VariAudio, Cubase’s time and pitch stretching system, is updated to version 3 and has been made significantly easier to use. That’s the nuts and bolts stuff, but there are some big new user-facing features too. Overall the interface has been tweaked, refined and smoothed down in ways that are subtle but certainly do enhance usability. MPE - an expanded and more versatile MIDI protocol used most notably by ROLI in its controllers and software - is now supported, and there’s support forthcoming for ARA plug-ins to enable enhanced communication between compatible plugins and Cubase. There’s also full support for high resolution displays, meaning Retina screens on Mac OS, and Hi-DPI on Windows 10, with the caveat that Windows’ graphics hardware landscape is much more fragmented than the Mac, so it’s worth checking to see if your specific hardware is supported. Steinberg typically doesn’t overhaul Cubase's look and feel too much between versions but has generally always managed to balance introducing new features and refining workflow with maintaining ease of use - something that’s not always easy to do when dealing with such an immensely complex program. Here I have reviewed the Pro version, but a detailed feature comparison can be found at. Available in three versions - Elements, Artist and Pro - all share the same core technology but have different feature sets depending on their price. Put simply, it’s a complete music and MIDI recording, editing and production environment for Mac and PC. There simply isn’t space here to list everything that Cubase does - you can read our review of version 9.5 here. ![]() ![]() Now on the verge of turning 30 years old, Cubase reaches another milestone - version 10. Steinberg invented the VST and ASIO formats, and Cubase has been at the forefront of breakthroughs like surround sound, time stretching, virtual synthesis, scoring and much more. Since then it has developed and changed beyond all recognition, undergoing huge technological revolutions over the years and embracing, even pioneering, music-making technologies that we take for granted today. With a host of new features, tools and technologies, Hollin Jones road tests Cubase Pro 10.Ĭubase - in its first years purely a MIDI sequencer - was one of the very first music applications to run on a computer, all the way back in 1989. Steinberg's flagship DAW turns 30 years old, and it's bigger and better than ever.
