Crazy improvement

Wow worth every penny works fest and GR8. just wold love multilayer sampling and combining sounds in the sampler and controlling the midi ccs thru midi I’m sure A lot of musician Will buy it also sf2 etc import thanks I really love it. on Cubasis 2 I had Maybe 2 months was just little hard but this won is just crazy thanks still needs some fixes stability the mute gets frozen some times the glue doesn’t behave well wold love to be able to control volume and knobs thru midi also DSP has to be fixed and in app plugins like wave crackles when using microsonic bass crackles some Times will have to wait a bit for a meager update. :UPDATE V301: Hi thanks for the update still waiting for some midi options mainly for when starching an audio should be detailed not unclear also to be able to see track in full screen the update is a GR8 1 this shows Cubasis is working hard the cpu can be a little better it’s much smother after new update but still sometimes spikes up also would love to see running Cubasis on external usb thru camera connection kit thanks keep up you GR8 work thanks UPDATE: on my new iPad Pro still crashing maybe because iOS 15 also wold be nice if I can export individual tracks and each track on Their own length UPDATE: I know that you can do separate tracks, but when doing this option, it exports according to the longest track and the rest is empty so please if you can fix it. also it would be nice if the resolution of the tracks gets updated thanks

Kushlion ,

The best! Period.

Wow I have dreamed of a DAW like this one on mobile device for years. I dare anyone to name one that comes even close for audio recording mixed with midi. This is a portable recording studio. The integration with third party effects and virtual instruments is so smooth. I guess most of the bad reviews were left months ago when the app was still in its infancy but really, this app today deserves nothing less than 5 stars. I have used cubase on desktop my whole life and trust Steinberg to deliver awesome products. Even if the app starts with bugs they eventually make you a satisfied customer. You can even tell by the way almost every review here is address by a human. Try finding many developers like that.
This app looks beautiful on my iPad screen. It has all the essential features cubase has, down to the colorization of individual tracks. The way files, settings and features are managed and selected is pure genius. I could go on and on but i will let you judge for yourselves after downloading the lite version if you want to try first. I can safely recommend to any serious musician wanting to have a reliable mobile recording studio to just close their eyes and get Cubasis 3. Most issues you may have will eventually get resolved because the devs are listening, so what do you have to loose?

I-pad Pro + Cubasis 3 = (Studio Quality Recording DAW)

I’m a life-long Musician ( Recording Artist ) I’ve been into every Music recording App on the Apple I.O.S Store and nothing has come close to Cubasis 3. As soon as I could afford it I just bought the App and all the In app FX purchases , ( and now with the extra Halion and Neo Fm Synth ) Purchases.
I wish I knew about this App. before I bought half the AppStore in random synth apps and other squirrelly multitrack recording Set-ups. I must’ve spent at least $1,000 But Im not sorry cause I can use all those as well for plug in instruments inside Cubasis. I use “Geo shred “and all my “Module “ Pianos and synths . The quality is just getting Crazy -Good , and the new Halion and Neo FM sounds ,…rival all those other sounds I bought for their higher quality sound. This App is way ahead of the pack and is the closest you can get to a Pro tools or Studio-1 style / professional-Laptop D.A.W.
For me I’ve found that the I-pad itself will falter first ( in CPU Performance) before Cubasis will. 1 trick is if you need to add so many tracks that it gets buggy ,..(which hasn’t happened to me,…) you can stop at around 15- 20 tracks ,..then mix them down to one stereo track on a empty song and continue to add 15- 20 more.
This Things a monster and has features and secrets I’m still learning .
