I have been using Cubase for a long while and I can say that it is the easiest-to-use software you will find. I am a fan of some of its features such as its cut and delete option, which allows me to erase any part of an audio recording that I do not like in just seconds. Another cool feature is its simple copy and paste system that allows me to record an audio file, and simply select that track, copy and then paste it, so that my audio has more volume and deepness. The most important part is that Cubase is really easy to use and learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I first bought Cubase, it was really hard to instal on my computer and make it work with my audio card: it said on the box that the installation and set-up with most audio card was simple and quick, basically, I just had to follow the instructions on the screen and download the right plug-ins, but this was not true, , as I had to spend almost 5 days trying to make the software work with my current audio card.

I like that Cubase is the easiest and most professional software that anyone can I use to record songs in a professional quality: I really love that I simply need to add a new audio track in the project panel, then I have to name it in order to differentiate it from other instruments, and then I just have to start recording instantly my instrument. Furthermore, it´s amazing that I when I use a recording interface with Cubase, it´s recognized almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something I dislike regarding Cubase is the learning curve for using it in a professional way. For me, it was a nightmare to set up everything ithe right way: even with the easy start-up videos, I had a hard time learning to use the advanced features of Cubase (it took me about 3 weeks, having to be glued to my computer., but to be really frank, it was totally worth it.

Perhaps the best feature of Cubase is that it lets me record tracks in a very High Quality, and this is important for people like me, who earn money by recording musicians and voice artists. One more thing I like is that I learnt to use it in a couple days; learning to use it was simple because i just had to watch the video tutorials that Cubase shared when I registered my copy. The last thing I like is that it gives me the opportunity to add as many virtual instruments as I want, so I can record and edit a wide variety of songs and styles.

I think that like most users, I dislike the price, because I find it a bit expensive (because it costs a little bit above four hundred dollars). One more thing I dislike is the fact that when I try to cut or erase a portion of any recording (for example, a mitake or an unwanted ending of a track record), I can´t do it at any point I want, because this has to be done at certain "intervals". This has becomes a hurdle when I try to refine or master a song. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly think that Cubase might be the most powerful paid recording software I´ve used (maybe only matched by Reaper). It´s interface is so simple to use that you´ll learn to set up everything you need within a couple of hours. I honestly enjoy a lot how easy it´s to record my own songs when I use Cubase, because I basically just need to connect my recording interface (such as Steinberg or Focusrite), get a decent microphone (like a cheap Shure mic), click the upper panel so that these devices are recognized, and I´m ready to start recording. It´s also so easy to edit your songs with some of the templates that come with the software when you buy it, that you´ll only ask yourself “why I didn´t buy this sooner?”.

Something I really hated of Cubase at the beginning is that it comes with a default option, which automatically records an instrument or voice over each track you record. This issue took many days to be solved, and this is something I really hated (I almost ask for a refund). I think that the people at Cubase should disable this option so that musicians like me (who aren´t audio engineers or something like that) can easily record as soon as we get the software. Basically, this is the only complaint I have with the software, because it really has helped me record songs with great professional quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used this at the start of my music career to record, input midi and audio. This was really good and the structure is basic, easy to understand and work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sounds that are built in sound too generic and too fake at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not care much for cubase other than in my experience it was more affordable than other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clunky functionality, confusing layout. Not very musician-oriented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the amount of plugins included and the VariPitch Feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the new mixer introduced in Cubase 7 and the cumbersome audio editing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cubase is a well rounded sequencer with a robust engine and all the tools you would ever need for your daily audio tasks; audio editing, mixing, recording or film scoring. Its interface is quite friendly to the newcomer and it offers numerous shortcuts in order to enhance your workflow.

What I like about Cubase is the integrality and ease to create your tracks or musical projects in a simple way, in addition to the professional level quality that you give to your projects.If you are an integral musician, you will make a track in one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike a bit is the compatibility with some audio interfaces, sometimes it is a bit complex to integrate them with the software., the way you need to switch tools (razor, pointer, etc.) to edit your audio. It feels clunky compared to Ableton's editing commands that allow you to select features by right clicking and with key commands--however I will say, the workflow may become more fluid as we use the software more. I do wish there was an info pane that explained all of the features upon hovering (as Ableton has provided). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cubase is VST compatible and when I was starting that was important. Very flexible. The stock plug ins are very useful, especially the eq on every channel. The routing is also simple. An average price of entry. You can start with a limited version and upgrade up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that there are different versions with limited features. The biggest is the track number and bus number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe one of the most important downsides of Cubase is its MIDI function; recording and editing seems a bit flimsy and it can easily discourage users to use it for MIDI purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
