Ratings and Reviews
Well rounded and intuitive
I love Cubasis because it’s got everything you want in the place you want it. It makes sense to use. Coming from Logic, I feel like the learning curve wasn’t too steep. It’s expandable with interapp audio and AU. So anything missing is easy to get. Overall though, I rate it. It gets out of the way and lets you make music the way you know to. Lay a track, give effects to the channel or send the channel to an effects group, mix it up nicely through the mixer. Even some basic mastering tools. Midi or audio are both equally as easy. Loads of presets to get ideas from. Time stretch and transpose tools make it super easy to import loops into. Can freeze the tracks in place and save on CPU. Basically, they thought of everything. It’s pretty robust and it just works.
Developer Response ,
Hi Havina Jam, Many thanks for your kind Cubasis rating and in-depth review. It means a lot to us to read that the app is easy to use and just works for you as expected! Enjoy making music and stay safe and sound. Again, many thanks and warm greetings to lovely New Zealand, Lars
Best IPad DAW in my opinion
I switched to using iPad as my main writing, and performing tool a few years ago and I had to choose which DAW was going to be my main tool. I downloaded them all and to a process of elimination Cubasis 3 has come out on top. Key reasons are that it reliably supports inter app audio, as well as a AUV3, the midi mapping is fantastic. I was even able to use an M audio, oxygen pro, without having to do any mapping as it got automatically picked up using the Mackie HUI setting. I can export both audio and midi as separate tracks to share with my Band mates. There are no rendering issues when exporting like there are with other DAWs that I tried. The built-in sampler allows me to bring in sounds from other iOS apps, such as the organ that I like in GarageBand. It just has all of the features that are Songwriter requires built-in, such as being able to pitch bend or time stretch audio without needing to do it in a separate standalone app. It recognises all of my media equipment and the routing features are fantastic and easy to use. The file management is intuitive and works perfectly with The Files app. I find the workflow better in Cubasis 3 than in Zenbeats, the workflow in Baker three is good, but it fails on rendering you threes more frequently than I would like. I had to compromise on at least one or two items with other DAWs. I don’t have to compromise on anything with Cubasis 3. There is nothing I can’t do on my iPad with Cubasis 3 that I need a desktop computer for.
