Cubase for IOS!

Long time Cubase user here. This is *the* goto DAW for us Cubase users. Can’t wait to try out the new midi features. Add hardware profiles and patch management and this will replace all all live setups with our Montages, Virus, Fantoms, Moogs etc

Jimmy the flip flop ,

So much potential but badly optimised and no customer support

I wrote a lengthy review that had suggestions and requests on the forums a few months back and received no response from the devs. This app performs very badly compared to other DAWs cpu wise on the iPad 8th gen. I can’t even open one instance of SynthMaster 1 without the DSP making the app stutter compared to my other DAWS that can run about 3/4 instances. The the sampler is very limited feature wise mostly the envelopes , and the fact that you have to make a preset for EVERY sample you import in the sampler makes zero sense . I really want to use this app because it has a lot of great features like freezing audio but it’s performances is really not good.

Developer Response ,

Hi Jimmy the flip flop, Thank you for your Cubasis review and rating. Please provide us with the info about your forum report which has not been answered. Did you post it to our dedicated Cubasis forum at steinberg.net/cubasisforum? If you encounter performance issues, please give the following steps a try: (1) Load the "New Project" project template. (2) Close all running apps, including Cubasis. (3) Full shut down the iPad (turn it to "off"). Does Cubasis works as expected once you've restarted the device and app? Do the performance issues arise when you add specific 3rd party plug-ins to the project? Please let us have your feedback via your updated review. Thanks in advance! Stay safe, Lars

Portable and potent!

Fully stacked with everything you’d need on the go. Not a single issue since day one. Integration with Cubase is pretty seamless. In short, a joy to use!

Developer Response ,

Hi J@ckHerb, Many thanks for your friendly review and rating! We are very glad to read that Cubasis seems to work as expected for you. Nevertheless we try to make it better with every update, and the next one is aimed to be released soon... :) Thanks again big time for the kind words & stay healthy! Warm greetings to South Africa, Lars
