Cubasis 2 Positive Reviews

Great DAW .. with room to improveI’ve tried a couple different DAWs on my iPad Air2 before switching to Cubasis2, and I’m happy I switched. Since I have a good amount of experience with recording apps I have found Cubasis2 to be well laid out and intuitive in design. But I do have a couple points for improvement: 1) no on screen level meter when recording ( when recording there’s just a swirling symbol, I have to do a test recording, stop and check to see how high my levels are), 2) the undo button directly above track one, (kinda picky, but how many times I’ve hit that accidentally) 3) Using a year old midi guitar app and having issues with it being available in the track Inter App Audio Input prefs section; received this response from the developer “We’re aware that Cubasis’s handling of IAA is somewhat cumbersome. Garageband’s handling of IAA feels totally different and mostly better imho, so there is room for improvement there on Steinberg’s side.” Just passing that along .. Bottom line I like the results when I use Cubasis 2, and am looking forward to future updates..Justin HughserVersion: 2.7

Audio editing stopped workingWhen I hilite a piece of audio and it opens up the editing bay the problem starts. The little triangles won’t move from the beginning and end so any changes I want to make apply to the whole piece. I can’t trim any specific parts, I can only fade in or out the whole audio clip. I can move the little triangles on the skinny bar above that that allows me to loom in on the audio but the other triangles won’t move anymore. All the other functionality works but I can only apply it to the whole part. So, unless I’m normalizing it’s pretty much useless. ..and I’m using Cubasis 2 instead of 3 that I bought for $50 bucks because 3 crashes all the time, usually within the first five minutes of any project, even simple ones with like 3 or 4 audio tracks and a few midi tracks that are all syncopated so not stressing the iPad…Meanwhile version 2 used to do fine with much bigger projects. I’m running a 1st gen iPad Pro 12.9 inch, the last one with the audio jack (btw special considerations for the iPads with the jack would make a lot of people happy) Please help with this audio problem, I’ve bought some in app purchases so it would be a shame to lose close to $100 just off you guys. If 3 crashes and I can’t edit audio in 2, it’s some alternative like BeatMaker 2or3 which work fine. And if you sort this out maybe you can help me to export projects to Cubase. I picked Cubase because compatibility. The iPad was my gateway to music production..IamnotnewhereamiVersion: 2.8.6

The Most Stable Music App in the AppStoreI purchased Cubasis and Auria at the same time. Before Auria was known as Auria pro. I was making music on the iPad since the first beat maker app in 2007. I have to say that Cubasis is the most stable app there is of all the music apps in the App Store that I have and I have hundreds of dollars worth. I love the power combined with the simplicity that this app offers along with its flexibility to use IAA and AUs. But, all that means nothing without reliability. Which is what this app has when I save a project it is saved. When I put it in a zip file off load it to Dropbox or store it in an external drive erase it then reload it another day it is there!!!! So many other apps I have lost projects not Cubasis now even if I create in another app I export the stems to Cubasis for mixing and saving I don’t trust any other app for saving my projects. If Cubasis had a sampler section like Beatmaker 3, if they get more Waves plug ins and get rid of their channel strip plug in and eq plug in taking up 2 slots, better levels meter, and the ability to do punch in recordings that record over audio the moment you hit record (the last one is not a biggie if you re-record until you get it right but if you love doing punch ins it’s a biggie). You will no longer need anything else but Cubasis hands down I promise you that!!!!!.PumpteVersion: 2.3.1

Next logical step up from GaragebandHave been trying out a couple apps in recent weeks in an effort to expand my mobile recording skills beyond iOS Garageband and this is the app I’ve decided to start learning and using. I tried n-Tracks Studio 9 and liked their interface but that app sounded terrible when recording audio tracks. I’ve actually had this app on my iPad a good while but couldn’t seem to quit messing with Garageband, so after the disappointing results with n-Tracks, I decided to give Cubasis another try and it sounds great. Garageband has SO many bad-sounding and useless virtual instruments (I still think the Alchemy Synth sounds were MUCH better before Apple bought them) and Cubasis’ virtual offerings seem to be much more impressive from the ones I’ve tried so far. And it records audio tracks beautifully. 4 stars for now until I’ve had more time kicking the tires with it, but I’m looking forward to doing a lot of recording with this..Rick57Version: 2.8.3

COOLEST DAW EVERThis is my first impression, I’ll probably leave another review in a few months, but first impressions: Awesome! If you are used to using GarageBand but want MORE capability, this will be a great transition. It has nice factory instruments already included, great fx, automation controls. Even the effects that you have to pay for are cheap too like the waves plugins for example and waves plugins are great and WORTH IT. This app is great for midi composing and audio recording and mixing. I also want to note that for people who don’t learn daws fast, that this is very easy to use and it’s very practical. The only thing that some people might need and that it doesn’t have are Mixer buses but I think they will add that eventually. Other than that, great app! Reminds me of Logic Pro, reaper or pro tools for iOS. I don’t see why one couldn’t finish a whole song from start to finish in it really. Edit: It seems that you can only add 5 effects to a track, if we could get at least double that, that would be great too..Lyrically giftedVersion: 2.8.1

Neon Taylor ApprovesI’ve been using Cubasis/Cubase to too long now to not have left a review until now, it wasn’t until more than a handful of ppl started to ask me to start doing tutorials for cubasis that I really started to think how powerful it really is for an iOS device, I have been making music strictly on the iPad since 2011 so I’ve seen how the iOS music scene has developed over the years rather then just stumbling upon it now so I guess the wow, shock and awe has faded a lil and with these music apps doing updates here and there sometimes it would be more feasible to work with one specific daw because it has feature another doesn’t at the moment but cubase/cubasis has never let me down, the workflow is so smooth and proficient that it leaves more room for creativity and time and the sounds that come with it are some of the most lushes sounds that I’ve heard from any music app I’m a Beatmaker3/Reasons kind of guy but cubase/cubasis will always have a special place with me.Neon TaylorVersion: 2.3

This is what I’ve been looking for!I’ve been struggling with Auria for the last few years as it becomes buggier and buggier and destroys more and more of my work. Cubasis solved all of that. First up is the interface which is very intuitive. I use midi and synthesizers almost exclusively and it’s so easy to add an instrument from my very long list of ios instruments and it just works, every time. Auria often crashes when working with linked synths. The media explorer is so simple and makes moving sounds around and importing midi files simple. The midi editor is also simple and powerful, no easy task but Steinberg pulls it off. And then there’s stability. I don’t care how many features a DAW has, if it crashes it is less than useful to me. Cubasis has never crashed on me. And finally, one nice perk that I didn’t expect is that the ‘undo’ function persists through sessions. In Auria, once you close the sessions there is no going back. Being able to ‘undo’ across sessions is extremely useful. So if you’re a hobbiest or amateur musician, this is the DAW/sequencer I would recommend. You’ll be up and running and making music in no time without having to take a course in sound engineering before you record your first track. The one feature missing is a tempo track, just to warn you after this glowing review. It’s not perfect. Yet. Thank you to the developers for such an awesome product and for making music production fun again!.ShrikkeVersion: 2.7

Nice sounding but needs UX refinementsI like it but the layouts are bland and bulky so to better the workflow it needs these features implemented: 1.) A scalable Mixer view so more than 8 channels can be seen. 2.) A fullscreen mixer view with the addition of effects controls above each channel. Currently a very basic Mixer gets overlaid on top of the Project View and most don’t need to see waveforms when mixing. It would be nice if the main effects parameters came out of a drawer above the Mixer. 3.) The effects should clearly indicate which channel is being worked on. It’s too easy to think that you are tweaking the effects of an instrument while mistakingly doing it to another. 4.) There needs to be a channel lockdown. When scrolling through the Project View it’s too easy to mistakingly pick up and drag a track around - which you then have to undo. 5.) Narrower channels in the Project View. Only 6 can be seen at a time. Lastly, there are effects plugins that look better and pack more radio controls into a square inch than Cubasis. If they can do it I don’t see why Steinberg can’t..MythTVerVersion: 2.7

Almost perfectSimple but powerful. I understand it wasn’t designed to be used in the studio, although it is absolutely capable of. MY ONLY REQUEST is that I’d love to see some kind of MIDI control protocol integrated! Mackie HUI or even just a MMC and MTC M@ster/Sl@ve would put it in a different league, enabling users to connect it with pro control hardware. The touch screen is absolutely awesome when after a studio session you are fine tuning mixes in your sofa using headphones, but for serious work, one can’t just fumble around those tiny icons, need real faders and transport controls, at least. Like Auria, which works like a charm in that regard. Except, it’s too complicated, and with outboard MIDI it has a p@inful l@tency, Cubasis is waaaay tighter. Cubasis never crashes, seems to be just rock solid and much more reliable than anything else on the i platform. Of course, I never used it with Audiobus, that stuff is only good if you use apps only an no hardware. I don’t even use the MIDI sequencing, instead I do it all on an Ak@i MPCX, which is then controls a couple of an@loge and a couple of digital hardware synts and an e drum set, so I use it practically as a 21 century reel to reel, rather. 😀 Please tell me you guys are working on something like that! I hate computers so much, and an iPad Pro with Cubasis is so fully capable that its actually scary..Shades 4CVersion: 2.7

Better than 3This is my updated review after using for over a year.I really like this version. I tried cubasis 3. But asked and got my refund from Apple, because Whatever issues i had previously with 2.8 were small compared to cubasis 3. I like the new interface and it seems smoother but not without glitches and new changes that are pointless. Some things like scrolling in piano roll you have to get used to . Its like learning a new DAW. The new improvements like fine editing are ok but not worth the 50 bucks. So i will stick with 2.8 until they figure out why their review ratings are going down to 3.2. And make the necessary improvements and build on what was working , not merely change just for the sake of change..Hi fi CaryVersion: 2.8.3

Room for improvementI go back and forth a lot between Garage Band and Cubasis, and my conclusion is that it’s a lot easier to use Garage Band than this app. Lately I’ve been making Hip-Hop instrumentals and it’s just easier to do in Garage Band. With that being said, if Cubasis were to update with a tool that would allow the user to preset a key signature, I’d use this app more than Garage Band. I’ve been holding out hoping that the app would update with this feature for months, but for now you have to preset all chords individually. Don’t get me wrong, Cubasis is far superior to Garage Band in terms of production quality and automation. Unfortunately, though, it’s pretty hard to knock out multiple song when you have to constantly preset a key signature by programming each individual chord on the chord pad. Please fix this issue with Cubasis! Thanks..MelloToddVersion: 2.8.1

Keep up the good works!This is bay far the most usable DAW on iOS. But I do think there are some key features missing from Cubasis. 1. It would be nice to control Cubasis using MIDI controllers. Mapping MIDI CC to control Audio Unit parameters, write automation for plugins, and of course do the transport. 2. Real loop function for MIDI/Audio regions instead of Copy/Paste. This has been the PITA to me for a long time. 3. Full-sized Audio Unit window. It is somehow limiting that the Audio Unit window can only be large as half the screen, especially when you are using an external keyboard and want to get hand of more controls of some complex plugins (let's say Moog Model 15). 4. Re-order the insert/send effects. Currently it can only be done by removing plugins and then adding them again, all parameters will be lost unless you save the paramaters as preset first. 5. Direction lock for the Piano Roll that allows us to zoom along just one direction. 6. Slide up/down to change velocity/aftertouch/modulation for the on-screen keyboard. I know I may ask for too many. But I do love Cubasis and want it to be the best DAW for mobile music production..Wildog!Version: 2.4

B@ND 0£ ON€I love how Cubasis tracks audio and how you can set a loop hit record and it will keep on over dubbing as many times as you want. This is a feature that is sorely lacking in other IOS DAW’s, and makes for a smooth work flow if you record a lot of audio. Huge thanks for Cubasis for keeping their game strong on IOS allowing for professional quality even on a device where people tend to be skeptical at first. I hope that they can add track bussing sometime soon in the near future that would be amazing! Over all you won’t go wrong giving Cubasis a shot. And again everyone’s work flow is different, but the ease of use definitely shines through in Cubasis!.B@ND O£ 0N€Version: 2.7

Clock can be flakeyCubasis is my preferred DAW on the iPad Pro 12.9, and I’ve used it since it first came out, but please Steinberg fix the clock! (and give us finer resolution), also needs tempo change ability like the other major IOS DAW has. As iPads get more powerful and more ram I’m finding myself using them more and more in my synth studio than my desktop computer DAW’s .. the relative simplicity of Cubasis takes me back to the 80/90’s when I was using the old toaster Mac SE30 and Opcode Vision .. a good time back then. I’m hoping Steinberg keep pushing Cubasis to the limit of what these newer iPads are capable of. As it is now at the end of 2019 I’d give it 5 stars if it had a more stable clock, finer resolution, and tempo change like its competition. Looking forward to the next update. Thanks Steinberg..Cloud700Version: 2.8.1

Dang I hate being a poor starving artist!?!AHHHHhh!?! It’s about that time again!?! Apple tax, and apparently many dev’s are asking for their fees again... unfortunately im a bit less fortunate, and have grown comfortable with the constant misfortunes. Anyways, These guys (or guy) deserves more money for gracing us with the ability to create mobile music via a freaking iPhone?? Seriously, thank you guys for all your hard work and persistent updates. You are neck n neck for my MOST USED APP. (According to screen time reports)!?! Hopefully Cubasis 3 goes on sale soon....StarvedArtVersion: 2.8.3

Cubasis 3. Another $50. No Thank You.I was excited at first when I learned about Cubasis finally going to be available on the iPhone. I have enjoyed using Cubasis on my iPad. But I quickly discovered they want me to pay another $50 for a DAW that I already bought (along with all the in app purchases) just to be able to use it on my iPhone. No thank you. Thanks to NanoStudio 2 (universal app from the start) and BM 3 soon to follow, I don’t need to pay another $50 for a app I already paid for. While I enjoy using Cubasis, NS2 does the same and more and its on both my iPad and iPhone for a one time purchase. I’ll continue to use Cubasis on my iPad as a secondary DAW, I cannot in good conscious, pay another $50 for something I already have. No thank you..Dammaged jVersion: 2.8.2

Speeds up my songwriting process!Now I can sit at my keyboard within 'touch' of my DAW (Cubasis) for rapid drafts of songwriting ideas on my iPAD. The sounds and loops are a nice start; if you don't like the instruments you can use AudioBus or IAA to bring in your favorites. The default Microsonic sounds are average, but there are some nice instruments in Micrologue. I really like the new ability to add some automation within my audio tracks. The delay and reverb is also excellent. I would give it SIX stars if there was an effortless bi-directional sync of projects with desktop Cubase. With Sonar now discontinued I'm looking for my next full-featured DAW..RTMNVersion: 2.3

SuperbI have been using Cubasis now for four years and it has rarely let me down. It will always be my favorite composing and production app on the App Store. The developers are clearly working to make the app better every day, as there are updates frequently, and new instruments/effects are added often as well. My only request is that the tempo could be rigged to changed during a project instead of being stuck with one tempo for an entire song! Nevertheless, until it is resolved, I will work around the issue!.CrtctcutdrtvycrcVersion: 2.4.1

Former fruity loops user, Cubase winsWent from using desktop fl studio for the last 10 years or so, straight into Cubasis 2 on an iPad, work flow is way better and makes more sense. I highly recommend this app for serious production, yes, can still do more/process more on pc, but Cubasis and audiobus and related apps have really come a long way, don’t need the pc for much these days. Works flawlessly with Arturia Audiofuse, very low latency for life effects while recording external instruments. Keep it up! And thanks for the resolution increase!.WhydoyoumakememakeanicknameVersion: 2.7

Needs tempo and time signature changeI used cubase on my Atari computer back in the nineties professionally. I use cubase on my windows computer now. In order for me to be able to use Cubasis on the iPad professionally, I’ve got to be able to CHANGE TEMPOS AND TIME SIGNATURES !!! Cheaper Apps like “Notion” can change time signature and tempo. What is taking Steinberg so long to accomplish this? You guys have got me looking for a new app. The changing of tempo and time signatures are basic features that you cannot get around, you have to provide them. The longer you wait......the more pros will go elsewhere. TIMES UP!.Bfar34Version: 2.6

Great DAW, bad upgrade option (no upgrade option)Great DAW however would never buy anything else from them given that they “rewrote” a whole new app (Cubasis 3) and won’t give people who recently purchased 2 an upgrade path. Most software companies do. I understand developers need to be paid and fully support it but be realistic. If someone purchased Cubasis 2 within the past 3 months, you should just understand..MantahoeVersion: 2.8.2

The best DAWFirst I got Auria. But I did not like it. I did not find it friendly. Then I got Cubasis 2. This is the bestDAW for iPad. The big problem of Cubasis is that you cannot map it. This is very very very sad. When I say map I mean using a foot controller to select tracks or modify volume or other settings. There is no mapping in Cubasis, why? it like a man in a nice suite with no shoes. People has complain about this but nothing has been done about it: you cannot use Cubasis live with a foot controller. Sorry!.LcombVersion: 2.7

IOS ProductionStarting to rethink this, I had to reset my iPad, (Not Using ICloud) don’t really trust clouds, and I lost every bit of music I created, you would think your music would show up by just re-downloading the app, their should be something associated with your email that banks everything you create in the app! I too much, I mean too much! The amount that would drain the average person.OuttaTonezVersion: 2.7

Impressive!Cubasis 2 is impressive to say the least. What your able to create and then master with this app is pretty amazing, especially considering the budget friendly cost. I would recommend this DAW to any young writer or composer, you won’t be disappointed. One feature that would make this app perfect, would be a tempo edit track. Other than that, loads of capability..@theDrum DogoVersion: 2.7

Ok...... wow.Long time D.j. who now spends most of his “adultimg” working for the IT department at a major bank. It affords me more time to sit in front of a monitor and make music rather than spin it for others. Heavily into ableton and logic since I use a MacBook Pro, but this app is so good if it is anything like Cubase proper I want to switch to it right away. Are there any discounts you can offer for me to purchase the full suite standalone version for PC?.WILLxLOVEVersion: 2.5

Cubasis is why I own an iPadThe “home base” app for iOS music recording. Very intuitive, runs very smoothly, can integrate with almost any other app, excellent customer support, continually updated and improved, and most importantly to me you can pass projects back and forth with Cubase on Windows 10 (please continue to improve this process as I know you will)..MarmakinVersion: 2.6

Best DAW for iOS iPADWhen recording live drums via a digital mixer no matter the model, it’s compatible. You can record multiple tracks at a time with no latency and great sound. Steinberg did good on this and you can mix on the fly on a plane, a boat , a car wherever and send the stems to Dropbox, Google drive and import to your other favorite DAWs. This is a game changer for me..Legend AiryVersion: 2.8.1

Missing Pitch Correction and Time Signature Automation tools. Also can’t join the regions.I am using Cubasis for a long time. It’s an excellent app I found. Besides Cubasis, I also use Cubase where I frequently use Variaudio. Meanwhile I expected that this very very important tool would come in Cubasis. But still they haven’t incorporated the feature. Same is true for Time Signature automation. Sometimes it seems to me that Steinberg has developed Cubasis only for light use purpose and not for serious audio production. In that sense Cubasis is not a complete DAW. I suggest you to kindly add these features as soon as possible so that we may not loose interest using it..Dalton WahidVersion: 2.8.1

Great iOS IntegrationI love how this app allows you to view/edit files in the Files app (On My iPad). This really completes this program and makes it feel more like an actual DAW on a desktop. Kudos to the developers on this one. Keep up the great work! This is by far the best iOS DAW on the market, coming from the team that introduced the world to VSTs..Musiclover1015Version: 2.4.1

Still not formatted for the iPad Pro 12.9!IPad Pro 12.9” has been around for two years now. But the developer still hasn’t created a version of Cubasis suitable for use on that device’s larger screen and higher resolution. As such, I only use Cubasis for brief periods of time before my eyes start to hurt from the blurry text and interface. This is supposed to be a pro-level DAW! (Guess what gentlemen, pros are using the 12.9” iPad Pro!).OperabrothaVersion: 2.2

Dope iOS DAWI really enjoy using this app to create ideas, music production. This is my main go to for those purposes. One of the few things that I dislike, it crashes too much! Need to have regular updates! Other than that everything else is on point. It can use an update that’s for sure!.BeezWax412Version: 2.8.1

Purchased right before 3 was released.......so I just bought this version 2 pretty recently, barely getting into it now that winter break has started, and seeing now that Cubasis 3 is out. Any kind of upgrade discount for previous owners? Or can I return 2 for 3? I can’t really afford to buy two full Cubasis apps within a couple months! Seems to be a mostly functioning DAW, especially for an iPad..ThejesiahVersion: 2.8.2

Great iOS DAWI have been using Cubasis for a few weeks now, and I have to admit that I took to it rather quickly. Works well, interface works as expected, no surprises. I use it to perform with MIDI tracks on my Montage. Now that Yamaha has released v2.5 of the Montage OS, that includes DAW control (Cubase is supported), it would be great is Cubasis also was supported..RoxiStudiosVersion: 2.5

I’ve been around since Cubasis/VST32Yeah I’m old and I can’t see any ways to give this a 5. They constantly update they don’t over price {under priced really} it works unlike half the junk out there, they obviously work with other developers to help us make music. Steinberg thank you from Nashville Sharade.Sharade27Version: 2.4.1

Great update! Amazing new sounds and more!Strongest DAW on iOS. EASILY.. The new sound drum kits sound amazing. The ability to duplicate your tracks is phenomenal. Saves so many problems trying to keep effects on duplicate layers, but the 'chords' pad doesn't copy. I spent some time adding chords for a sound, duplicated it to layer another sound on top, and it went back to the default pads. Obviously my fix could be to learn how to play but thats why those are there. LoL Youve really made this more of a go to for creating music within it for this update instead of just sending stuff to it. Thanks!.WerdrathVersion: 2.2

Believe me... It's NOT expensive!!!!This is what you as an "Audio producer" or "musician" are looking as a portable "ProTools kind of app" for your iPad. Cubase make me switch just with it. It is so easy and stable that it will scare you. For broadcasters or radio station producers, this is the tool that will let you work anywhere and be productive everywhere!.A.KinngVersion: 2.2

Screen problemsI recently updated to iOS 14.4 on my 12.9” 2nd generation iPad Pro with 512 gig capacity. Now when I go into Cubasis 2 and try to use a Waves plugin (which I purchased them all except the newest) the daw goes away and all I see is the plugin. Black screen above the plugin. When I use my fingers to “pinch” the screen, I see everything but can’t control anything. Suggestions? Jim.Jrun66Version: 2.8.4

Nigh on perfectI love this app. I really do! If you have any interest in making high-quality music on your iPad, you owe it to yourself to invest in this app. Of course, you'll need to invest in several other apps also, but this is a fantastic DAW, and can easily become the workhorse of your music production..John FryarVersion: 2.7

Needs more RL drum kitsAs a child of the 80’s, I’d appreciate a few more acoustic kits. Other wise, I’m satisfied with the functionally..Rbloch66Version: 2.8.6

Figured I would give another star to Cubasis 2...because Cubasis 3 is so buggy. Sure 3 has a few more features on paper but they broke things that worked great in 2 like basic selecting and moving of audio clips. Edit: I cant stand their copy/paste reply. Annoying..RicheroniVersion: 2.8.3

The engine and quality are quite impressive but...There’s some glitches that happen sometimes with the tempo itself that bothers me wen I’m mixing sample with manual composition they are not in time somehow I figure out by putting 3 more seconds on 120.0 bpm nothing glued... perfectly but wen I put 120.3 its start to sound well on time but stills bother....LedwinlevyxVersion: 2.3.1

Excellent for editing and trackingSound quality is excellent. The user interface is well adapted for the iPad. Good Audiobus integration for tracking softsynth performances. Built in audio effects are surprisingly rich and useful sounding.

MIDI learn for external controllers?All in all, this is a fantastic app. Been using it for 3 years solid. Best for scratching it all out. Two things: if one cannot draw automation into a stopped project- can we get MIDI learn for controllers to get more precise control in editing automation?.DTPiijVersion: 1.9.9

Easy to use and powerfulA bit of a learning curve, but once you learn the basics this is such a powerful way to record inside the iPad without any peripherals..CovermebandVersion: 2.0

Was great until it stopped opening.I have an iPad Mini 4. Up until now, Cubasis 2 worked almost flawlessly. For some reason the app just will not open. I see the introduction screen and then nothing.

Strong DAW for iOS...one problemI've been using Cubasis for at least 18 months and it is one of the best apps available with full interconnect-ability between all of the MIDI and audio routing options. The Step Sequencer is strong, recording is easy and latency is not too bad. I've used Cubasis to create full tracks produced solely within the iPad, as well as create sketches to be imported into my other systems. It works well for most everything! The only problem I've really had has been with audio editing. The level of detail and waveform resolution is low when zooming in, to clip the audio perfectly. There is a point at which there is no more zoom, and you can't quite get your cursor to the edge of your wave due to the the resolution of the wave display. This inevitably creates a space at the edge of a waveform which can distort timing of recordings. It seems like perhaps a fatal flaw as it has me considering other options..MikeyMilleniumVersion: 1.9.7

Great program, great updatesI find this is my “go to” app for all my music ideas. If an instrument app doesn’t work with Cubasis, I won’t buy it. I have to admit that updates are a little slow for this app, but I have no problems with the features and functions that it does provide. I am really glad to see the inclusion of Audit Units, as I feel these are a much better option than IAA or AudioBus connectivity. The Sternberg team are great at responding on the Sternberg forums, and there is a lot of good information to be found there..FotizimoVersion: 1.9.9

Great companion to Cubase Pro and NuendoBeen using Cubasis on my iPad Mini since it first became available as a pre-production/writing tool and can't say enough about how handy it is. Whether you're traveling, or just keep it handy for those spur or the moment, middle of the night inspirations that were once relegated to a notepad and, hopefully, being able to remember and retain the specifics critical to recreating it later, this tool will become indispensable to you. Tapping out a quick beat and/or laying down a melody and being able to easily export it for later import into Cubase or Nuendo for further production couldn't be handier. It's an easy five out of five for me..J L BowieVersion: 1.9.8

Solid but needs tweakingOverall a very solid app for recording audio and midi into through audiobus and interApp. Glaring issues are the pinch to zoom feature which often does not zoom the way you want it to. Midi is a bit buggy and often produces clicks and pops, even on an ipad air. And sharing the project with Cubase is problematic in tht you have to export through iTunes, the wifi server won't effectively share your session and when importing to cubase the audio files are not imported, so that needs to be fixed at least with cubase 7.5 anyways..Ang&SteveVersion: 1.7.1

What's u with these these bad reviews? :(THIS APP IS AMAZING. Truly awesome! It s worth the 50 bucks hands down. I literally have almost every single app for music in iTunes and this is the best daw type app for iPad. It's bliss ! I know that the only reviews that are Currently listed complain about bugs but since July or so cubase has done huge improvements and fixed so many of those problems.its so fluid smooth and integrates so effortlessly with any drum, synth or other audio bus or inter-audio able apps I am truly amazed at how my work flow has gone up ten fold compared to beat-maker2 and nano-studio. This daw has just blown me away with how it all flows like water. It's like the first time I owned audio bus and dumb I felt for not buying it sooner. Seriously ipad 4 crashes with many apps but not this one. Buy it it's dope.Caucasian77Version: 1.8.3

Register Where?Just downloaded the update to 1.6. I would have rated 5 star had I not gone to register as the update description said I could only to find it is not listed in software. Also there is no email support link in MySteinberg which makes me wonder if spending hundreds in the future on a pc Cubase program is really a wise idea. No one likes digging through forums for answers..DragonEmpressEternalVersion: 1.6

Very good softwareThis version of Cubase is as good as we are used to expect from Steinberg. As a long time user of their PC version, I feel totally at home, event better: the user interface has something very intuitive with the use of fingers instead of a mouse. No more debutant editing limitations as in GarageBand. The sounds (halion samples) are very good, but I'd like to have sound sculpting options for the analog synth, organ etc. Maybe in a future versions or through third party VSTi? The audio plugins are perfect for the task. Finally a tool (not a toy) that allows real serious work, transferable to/from real studio DAW workstation.

Getting better!But still needs more to compete with apps like Auria and Meteor! Keep the updates coming.Larr200Version: 1.5

Dark screenJust purchased the app and since I have been using it the screen has slowly been getting darker. It is now black and I can't see anything. Is this something you are aware of and if so I there a fix in the works? Overall, with the limited time I was able to use it before it went dark, a great app and I'm excited to create with it in the future. Cheers.AlisonDresserVersion: 1.2

Dark screen as wellWas working great until the screen got darker....now what?.Iwannaplayu2Version: 1.2

Garageband on steroids!Okay, so if you are like me and like to get your ideas sketched out quickly and easily, then this app is for you. I usually use Garageband but this app is about 10x as powerful. Still lacking some pro features but it is still very early in the development of this app. Nice Audiobus implimentation..AkaMarkoVersion: 1.1

Jaryi GIf you wish to focus on dubstep and the like this is for you, though still limited as opposed to Korg. If you focus on audio and wav this is also for you, though still limited as opposed to Auria. I understand it is not possible to go pro on mobile devices yet but if you're serious about pro this is not quite there yet. In other words Cubasis is a better toy than Garageband by far, but still a toy. Price should be revised to 29$. The reason Auria is so expensive is because it will focus on a technique in detail. Cubasis is like Apple, they focus on nothing in detail in efforts to score most sales. Very good app, but overpriced. To reach the 50$ mark they need an update of EQ (especially), and other effect controls. I can see how Auria was created with a "lets change the world" approach, where this app had in mind "we are Steinberg, and that is a seller on its own". Wrong. If you're Steinberg and you're cool then give me a cool EQ control because we're all tired of Garageband mixing our music for us on its own. By all means cool app though. Do buy because it looks great and is colorful. If you want to record a live drum set though, get Auria..Jaryi GVersion: 1.0

Cubasis 2 Negative Reviews

This is a 5 star app...This is a 5 star app for learning how to make your own music but it’s missing a several things.... the easiest thing you devs can fix is the sustain wheel. Make that an internal effect because it doesn’t carry over when recording. It makes piano and guitar sound robotic and the transition from one note to another extremely harsh (I want my guitar rifts to flow not sound choppy)! Another easy one is drawing on your sound to make it gradually louder. Please make it possible to do that with left and right speaker input, I want to make a binaural beat. Also the devs (developers) should allow you to cut and chop your own melodies and make it possible to create your own “instrument” by putting your chopped up melody on pads. I know you guys update constantly! Also isn’t there more than just attack and release? Anyways great for learning! (I bought all in app purchases and I would say don’t get the classic machines unless you’re an old school fellow but the effects are f*$#ing worth it) I’m making some sick percussion and I might put it on sound cloud for funsies..NezizenVersion: 2.7

Why no option to upgrade from the previous version?Considering projects won’t transfer without the user connecting an iPad to a computer, then coping projects to said computer, and copy them back to the new app’s file using iTunes or some cloud storage. It’s a major hassle, it also means that you probably won’t delete your previous projects from Cubasis until you then open them and the ver3. Which means lots of extra storage is needed to accomplish this procedure. Moreover, you’ll need to buy all the effects bought in Cubasis ver2 again for ver3. Some of these effects were just released six months ago. I have repeatedly supported app developer that provide paid updates while not supporting developers that don’t. I have been using Cubase for 15 years, yet because the last two years on my Mac I’ve have issues with their copy protection slowing down productivity and now I can’t use my iPad as a sketchbook without transferring everything and hopping it all works, I think I’ll skip any more options to use their products..Blackbery-12Version: 2.8.3

NO LOYALTY!!!I’ve paid for this app I believe twice now but for I spent $50 for this Cubase 2 and being that you guys came out with cubase 3 it’s sad you don’t offer a discount to loyal customers who have already giving u $50 for this version. Now people who have never givin your company $1 arguably get a better version for free with cubase 3 LE than us paying customers get for our $50 with cubase poo I mean 2. Almost all major software offers a discounted upgrade version for there new software. I hope your company can make it into the big leagues like these companies who are smart enough to understand what loyalty to existing customers and making sure your core customers keep coming back and are always happy with your latest product is worth..BjhfjjffhjfjfjfVersion: 2.8.5

Needs time signature & tempo change tracksWhile this is one of the better IOS DAWs out there, I’m still absolutely baffled this nor the latest Cubasis 3 do not have either tempo change or time signature change tracks. All premium Windows & Mac DAWs have these options. Considering this app retails for $50, you would think it would be modeled to mimic those as far as professional grade features. I realize 4/4 dance music is probably what most musicians make with Cubasis. But as a fan & player or more progressive styles of music, Cubasis does not enable that type of creativity in iOS music production. I don’t understand how Auria Pro, NanoStudio 2 & MMS (Giel Bremmers) can have these capabilities, but not a top brand app made by a prominent company. Will NOT be upgrading to Cubasis 3 either, unless these changes are made..KrszytoffVersion: 2.8.3

ShameAfter so many years owning this I can’t believe I don’t have access to iPhone version since all other apps like NanoStudio and others have universal versions. Pandemic has crushed all of us. So don’t tell me about poor developers who at least have jobs. Many of us lost ours. But using this app for years I have to re buy same app full price for iPhone version. Not cool. I normally don’t put negative reviews but this is a huge company who did the wrong thing and messed up. Many people who use Cubasis and were ever going to get Cubase now didn’t be of having to rebuy entire app no discount for iPhone version. Maybe you will grandfather us long time Cubasis users for YEARS so we can have iPhone version. Then I can remove this..RUST(i)KVersion: 2.8.5

Incredibly buggy! Please refund!$50?! I’d expect pretty well coded software for $50! But it’s one problem after another with Cubasis 2. First it won’t record audio. Garage Band and even Cubasis LE 2 (the demo) see my interfaces and record from them and my mic. I tried buying Audiobus to route through there, but it wouldn’t see it. Eventually I uninstalled and reinstalled Cubasis. After that it would see Audiobus, but now it only records through that which is a huge hassle. Then, after reinstalling it won’t see or record my midi devices half the time! And to further make things worse, the app icon in the dock doesn’t work. It just sits there dead. I try to remove it but it won’t let me. I have to go to the home screen to load Cubasis now. Minor but annoying and a testament to how buggy the software is in general. Did I mention it froze and crashed on me while recording once too? I tried through the App Store but it says I have to ask The author: Please refund my purchase!.SimpleRabbitVersion: 2.6

Never again!!!Steinberg you are a bunch of crooks! Charging full price for Cubasis 3 for those who own Cubasis 2 instead of offering at least a crossgrade discount when really you should offer upgrades for free!!! I spent a decent amount for Cubasis 2 (A Mobile app!) Then I find you update the product and want full price again! I see others complaining and you respond with excuses and justifications! It's black and white! You're IN THE WRONG! Logic is coming to PadOS so enjoy ripping people off while you can! I want a refund!!! if I knew how dirty this company was I never would have invested in the previous mobile DAW! I want my money back!!!!!!.Jior designVersion: 2.8.2

Not happy so farI had been really excited to use Cubasis 2 on my iPad Air 2. All other daws and apps work flawlessly! Cubasis however crashes every time I try to use inter app audio. Which is the most important feature to me as I have invested a lot into other apps. Granted, I can import recorded patterns or samples but being able to do it within the daw is what I want. I’m hoping an update may fix this. So far my main two drum apps will not work at all without Cubasis crashing, iMpc pro and BeatHawk. I am on the latest version of the app as it’s a new install as of today. I’m also on the latest version of iOS. Please fix this!!!.CRASS2047Version: 2.6

I wish this app had one BASIC functionalityI don’t use this app. It simply doesn’t work for me, because it lacks one of the simplest functionalities, one that dates back to analog recording: Punch-ins. You can’t ‘record over’ in the traditional sense. Instead of punching in and hearing what you are recording, you hear what was previously recorded mixed with what you are recording, which is very distracting, and dare I say, idiotic. Consequently, there is no comping functionality. This has been on the ‘wish list’ for like 5 yrs. It’s ridiculous, sad, and a shame, but it is what it is. Pass..RanGroVersion: 2.7

Used to work graeatThe last update seems to have messed up mpe midi. Now if I have mpe midi tracks running in cubasis it seems to trigger random voice changes. This is most obvious when I am using ppg infinite, but I have similar problems with animoog and others. For two years this has been able to replace my laptop DAWs, but these new bugs make it totally unusable for me. I know it’s lame that I didn’t post a positive review when it was working great, and I only was prompted to review the DAW after I had a problem, but I was deeply embarrassed in front of an audience tonight and that’s a powerful motivator..Februarary(febwary)Version: 2.7

Good But Missing Some BasicsThis app has lots of robust features and is so complete in many ways. That being said, it is severely compromised for its lack of support for changes in time signature and tempos during a song, features promised at least from 2013 on the company’s message board. Really disappointing for this price point, and it doesn’t seem to say much for the developer’s response to users or the real-world application of a DAW for musicians. I would have passed on this purchase had I realized this limitation..Kevin_AlbrightVersion: 2.5

Forget it on ipad mini 2, Sunrizer crashes every timeFINAL REVIEW: I expect things to work as advertised; description says AU’s will work with iPad mini 2 but no way, far too laggy, Sunrizer and XS don’t load at all and crash. Unusable right now even though i bought the whole system. I like exploring this app and I bought all the in app purchases, but it crashes every time with a popular synth whose specific sounds I want to use now (sunrizer), so I have to drop Cubasis and go to Auria instead, no crashes so far with it and way less laggy than Cu. Worried that other IAA’s won’t work but a bit disheartened to test and i’m discouraged; that feeling =1 or 2 stars if i forget about IAA instruments. Might as well have gotten Gadget without the inter-app support. I’ve updated my operating system, Cubasis and all audio apps to know avail, freed up tons of gigs..The Quare FellowVersion: 2.3.1

So many, several, plenty, full of bugs!!Honestly the app is good, but bugs are everywhere!! Lost of tracks, lost of inter app sounds, change of track colors automatically, lost of track titles, many others here and there! Côme on fix this!!! It's almost impossible to have a song finished, always re-doing something!!.Gnarly_gVersion: 1.8

Not worth itThis app was not worth the price and I wish I could return it. The professional capabilities of the app are limited..Rain Delay 27Version: 1.8

Needs more workThis is one of the few apps I wish I could get a refund on. Boring and not worth the price..AnthonyfalvesVersion: 1.3
