They have yet again developed new and updated tools that make the process of songwriting, music production, recording, mixing, film scoring, and composing easier. It’s no surprise that Steinberg has continued to push the envelope on what a DAW can do. From the Song Arranger track, which lets you hear a restructured arrangement of your song in real time, to something as simple as being able to “playlist” a tempo track, Cubase 10 was an incredible accomplishment for the Steinberg development team.Ĭubase 11 was released late last tear.
Some of these features were minor, while others were downright astounding, and they were nearly all focused on making the process of music creation easier and more efficient. The software was loaded with features that were unmatched on other platforms. In 2018, Steinberg launched Cubase 10 which was a ground-up redesign of what a DAW should be. It’s an all-encompassing platform that was designed around the music creator. I won’t list them here, but go ahead, take the time to look up how the other major DAWs are branded. “Cubase Music Production System”-that’s how you’ll find Cubase branded on Steinberg’s website. It’s been just shy of 20 years since that MacWorld expo, and I’ve had Cubase installed on every studio computer I’ve owned since. It did everything I wanted as a songwriter/producer, and it was just so slick to work with. The software not only looked stunning, but it was intuitive. Steinberg had just launched Cubase SX, a ground-up remake of their DAW using the engine of their Nuendo post-production music suite. I remember being blown away by what Greg showed me. I was a recent Berklee College of Music graduate frustrated by the cost of a Pro Tools system and the overly complex user interface of eMagic’s Logic. Steve Jobs had just showed us how the world was taking in Mac OS X and that Apple had sold an (at the time) astounding 125,000 iPods after launching the ground-breaking portable music player the previous October. Full disclosure: I’ve been a Cubase user since I met Greg Ondo, Steinberg’s senior technical specialist, at the MacWorld Convention in San Francisco back in the winter of 2002.
