GUI is hard to understanding. The color is too dark grey, boring color.

And another thing is Price is expensive for an independent artists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the most complete audio editing and music production tools I've used"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Cubase?

There are many features in Cubase that let us control almost every component of audio and music sequencing. The default software has many different sounds in WAV and MIDI format. There are also many loops that we can use to get us started on looped tracks or to work into full tracks. Cubase can work smoothly with many standard industry plugins so that we can access more sounds and effects. I like that there are many videos and articles online that can help give me new ideas for audio projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

Cubase is a professional audio editing platform, so being able to use it for full audio processing is not something that may come easily for basic users. Even for simple sound adjustments, it can take an experienced ear to be able to make fine adjustments to sound and note sequences. There aren't many editing templates that can effectively process audio in a reliable way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cubase has lots of music loops that we use"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Cubase?

Though I do use Cubase to make completely original music sometimes, we often use it in our business to create audio tracks from loops or presets for presentations or events. It can take a while to create tracks from scratch when you consider the mixing and mastering aspect, but using the preset tracks gives us a good start on the rhythm and note programming of the tracks.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

Cubase often takes time when it comes to loading in general. For things like listening to sound preview, that can also take time and make starting new projects drag on a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not made for serious composers"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Cubase?

It has many interesting features and stock plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

Most of the new features are GUI. Steinberg needs to hire more talented developers to do more interesting stuff. My biggest complain:

The Score Editor and many other features are very buggy and Steinberg does not have good customer service at all. You have every year two new releases without fixes of the bugs from before. Go on their office forum and see the complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Music Production Suite"
5/5
What do you like best about Cubase?

Cubase is one of the best music recording and production softwares in the market. I have used Cubase mainly for recording and without much experience I was easily able to start a session. The basic controls are very easy to understand and use and this makes Cubase very convenient for beginners. The huge amounts of vst instruments that it supports is also amazing. There are a lot of effects and instruments that comes with the software which are very good and the plugins are even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

As you learn more you find the software to be a bit confusing and you will need professional help to figure things out. There are few problems with the input and output channels and at times I had to restart the software and the problem would be fixed. The channels would randomly disappear and cause issues. The sound tracks that comes with the software are limited and it would be great if a much larger library is available. The feature to edit sounds of video tracks has alot of issues and needs a fix.

The intuitive solutions that it has, usually with other software i need to use manuals etc, with cubase u think to a thing and after 1 second you are already doing the thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

It only miss the function that allow to send a group of notes to another track without closing and reopening the new track. I have seen this function only inside Digital Perfomer, but except for this, Cubase is really amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best audio DAW for serious composers"
5/5
What do you like best about Cubase?

I use multiple DAW programs including Logic Pro X, but cubase in terms of features and ease of use takes the bacon. I am able to quickly set up templates and save them for use on future projects. The program itself doesn't use much RAM compared to Logic, so I am left with more RAM to use for my instrument samples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

Some features are a little confusing to use and could be more streamlined when setting up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
