Steinberg Cubase Pro 8
Steinberg’s Cubase goes waaaay back to a land before modern DAWs. Version 1.0 was made available for the Atari ST in 1989.
Now in version 8.5, It’s seen many versions and substantial redesigns. It remains one of the most widely used and respected music production softwares.
Cubase 8.5 is a full featured DAW with expanded functionality that comes packaged with heaps of built-in plugins.
It caters to a professional workflow but don’t let that scare you away: the interface is intuitive and easy to use with plenty of advanced features for super-ultra-power-users.
Cubase has also jumped up into the cloud with its DAW-centric cloud collaboration service VST Transit. It allows users to seamlessly work from any location and collaborate with anyone sharing the same platform.
Our Favourite Cubase Feature
VST expression debuted in Cubase 5 but has been updated significantly over the years.
It lets you program the automation of each note individually. This gives your tracks greater detail and added character.
It’s to be expected from the company that created the VST and MIDI sequencing technology that’s still used today.
