"Has all of the primary tools you need for sound editing and music production"

4/5

What do you like best about Cubase?

Cubase is a full-featured digital audio workstation that's been around for many years and is still one of the top choices for audio production. I like that I can import a raw track and remove background noise from it and compress the track to make it sound sound fuller, which can help to bring out the best in whatever project I'm working on. After you take some time to learn how to use it, Cubase is relatively easy to use. You can add new track, whether they're MIDI tracks, audio recordings or a sound pattern, and just start laying a song down right away with just your mouse and keyboard. You can easily add a MIDI controller to program sounds with a keyboard or a drum pad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

Overall, Cubase is still an advanced editing tool and will probably be pretty difficult for beginners to use in a meaningful way. Even after you use it for a long time, you may still not be able to make really good tracks without having a strong background in music production. You have to understand mixing, balancing sounds and have a lot of experience with each of the tools and plugins that you use to create tracks. The price for Cubase is a bit high, but that's to be expected for professional software like this. I could probably get away with using cheaper software to do lots of the stuff I do with audio in Cubase, but for me, I like to use it because I want to be able to learn it little by little a be really good at it at some point in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cubase:

Cubase isn't the most user-friendly audio software, so if you're not really into music production and don't understand the nuances of sound editing, then Cubase is probably not the best fit for you. You might want to try out free software like Audacity or lower cost software like light versions of Pro Tools. A simple Google search can show you a good handful of free or low-cost software that you can start out with for basic editing like cleaning up the background noise or compressing tracks. If you want to just cut tracks, you can actually do that in video editing programs like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cubase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been able to take raw sounds and edit them cleanly so that they can make lots of the video projects I work on more professional. I can also save money from not having to buy stock music, since I can create basic tracks that we can use as background music in things like corporate video, social media videos or website videos. We can use existing projects on Cubase for new projects. We can keep the settings so we don't have to start from scratch. We can use most of the same levels and such so that we can have similar sounding tracks across all of our media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Compact and powerfull DAW. The best quality for audio recording."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Cubase?

Simply connect an audio interface or mixing board to your USB port and select as your main input device in the "Device Configuration" menu. Then you can record instruments and microphones directly into Cubase without any noise interference, as you would in a professional studio.

Using Cubase, you can record an entire band arrangement, including guitars, bass, percussion, synthesizers and sound effects, using nothing more than a MIDI keyboard. Just connect a MIDI control keyboard to your USB port, open the "VST Instruments" menu (in "devices" in the menu bar) and select an instrument sound you want to emulate.

Multi-Tracking: You can record the drum in one song, your drum in another, the bass in another and then the guitar in a track room. This allows you to maintain full control over the sound when mixing and mastering. Cubase allows you to create an unlimited number of individual tracks and record in the same way, just like professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

The learning curve. At first can be a headhache to familiarized with it. It took me while to master it. But once you handled it, can be a very powerfull tool depending on your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cubase:

It is perfect for when you are recording with a band. The quality of the audio recording is "A1" .

If you have a home studio i highly recomends Cubase for his versatility and high quality features. At first can be annoying and complex to use. But its definitely deserves the try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cubase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am developing my own music label and i started with a home studio. At the begining Cubase fitted perfect for my needs. I am always in the looking for the best DAW. Cubase is definitely in the top. His versatility allows you to record the highest quality sounds and do the mixing and mastering on a upper echelon level, Is the right DAW for when you are recording with a band. It defenitely improved my work and take it to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
