It has a wide range of quality outcomes selections, when in a session it is fast to use and has ability to capture multiple input sounds throught its amazing audio track numbers. I will be honest with its quality one does not need to do a lot of sound cleaning. You can also compose digital instrumentals and capture vocals and extra instruments. It is a full working station and smooth to work with at the same time it let you work in a professional well organized manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires more of experience to do some most essential things. Mixing in Cubae needs one to apply a lot of knowledge and a long term earned skill. Sometimes its diversity can be overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best digital audio workstation for producing with virtual instruments and MIDI"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cubase?

What I like the most is the perfect integration for working on your music through the Midi language, in addition to the possibility of integrating any vst effect or instrument. The interface has improved a lot and the user experience has become very pleasant. The color system it uses is also appreciated, which helps reduce eye strain. It has everything one looks for in a professional digital audio workstation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

What I don't like is that latency has to be managed manually; if you're not attentive to this, latency can give you a big headache. It's annoying to hear some of your audio tracks or instruments out of sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Daw to Produce MIDI"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cubase?

It is a powerful music production tool, it has no comparison. The work flows flawlessly, I like the way they've been boosting midi sequencing lately. The built-in audio effects and vst are sufficient for any producer with medium knowledge. I like how intuitive and stable the software is to record, edit and mix both audio and Midi, either with external instruments or with built-in vst, it also has a huge sound library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

I have had sudden crashes, and sometimes I have to reconfigure the outputs of midi instruments because they disconnect when the software is closed or the computer is restarted. I don't like that setup with most midi controllers has to be done manually and that takes time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
