Leave a Review Cubasis LE 3
why?
I wanted to give this app a try to see if the full version of Cubasis was right for me, but nearly every feature I wanted to test is disabled. And on top of that, you can only use the demo for 30 minutes.ccp42
Latency issue
Simply put Cubasis 3 has a latency issue that Cubasis 2 did not have. I’m not new to Cubasis. I owned the original and the Cubasis 2. Running on iPad Pro 2nd gen. I have no latency with Cubasis 2. Cubasis 3 performance is so sluggish that live monitoring is impossible.earthjazz
It had so much potential
Using the app is great, was easy to find out how to write midi and arrange and just what I was looking for. If this had more functionality on a demo, it would be perfect.
Coming from someone who has used and purchased Cubase for 10 years, the demo limitations in this mobile app are a complete joke. 30 minute demo timer doesn’t even give you enough time to learn how to use the mobile app. It took me 5 minutes to find out how to start writing a MIDI track. You can’t start a new project, all settings revert after 30 minutes, you can’t export MIDI in demo.
The only reason I would ever use my phone to track or write music is when I am on the go so I can get an idea written and translated so I can export or copy into my desktop DAW when I get home. This demo app doesn’t allow me to do that. I’d be willing to spend a few bucks on the app for sure but I am not buying a hardware license to use my phone to track ideas. I don’t know what subset of people record on their phone but this isn’t really what I’d consider a “Lite edition” (Cubasis LE). Maybe if they make a true LE for just tracking ideas and charge $3 I’d buy it.Show lessLlednar1589

Hi Llednar1589, Thank you for your rating and review! Cubasis LE 3 comes bundled with a wide range of support audio devices, which can be connect to unlock the app from demo mode. See all supported devices listed on our website at: steinberg.net/cubasisle. Apart from this, please feel free to give the app a test drive for 30 minutes, which can be continuously restarted. Hope that helps! Best wishes & stay well, LarsIssues!
Bought a Steinberg UR44C which came with Cubasis LE. I upgrade because you can’t do anything serious with the very gimped LE. Cubasis 3 crashes with just Ravenscroft 275 loaded on one track! I switched back to Cubasis 2 and I have NO ISSUES! What??? This is a Steinberg interface! Please fix this!LazarusLives!
Your app is expensive I have hacked your system you should offer less
Your app said free trial!nicholaswentworth

No good dont buy! Trash!Kashoyan-123
Not about music. About money changing hands.
Just offer it to use like normal demos. Being in bed with product manufacturers makes you look like money grubbers. Remember, it's about the music. Come back from the abyss!
Just let us use it for a while like other apps. I don't want to buy a piece of equipment to try your product. No, your so called demo mode is not letting us try it for a while. Be more generous. It will return to you.Show lessBlindGoofy

Hi BlindGoofy, Thank you for your review and rating. As stated in the app description, Cubasis LE comes bundled with many audio devices, which can be connected to the iPad or iPhone to unlock the app from demo mode. Please find the list of supported devices at steinberg.net/cubasisle. Please let us have more details, about your issue(s) with the app! Thanks and stay well, LarsCubasis le 3
I bought a Yamaha AG06 mixer which was supposed to give me access to more features. It’s worked in the past, but all of the sudden it tells me I can’t export my mixdowns from the cubasis app to my files. Maybe I’m just missing something, but it won’t let me share my track or download it unless I upgrade. This is very ironic to me because we’ve paid the $30 to upgrade previously, and the app wouldn’t restore my purchase. Why can’t I export my mixdowns if I have a mixer which is supposed to give me access, and we’ve paid the $30 upgrade price in the past? If I’m just overlooking something please let me knowShow lesspurerockfury18

Hi pureockfury18, Unfortunately, the App Store does not provide comparable update options, to what we have in the desktop software world. Cubasis LE 3 has been released as a separate app release to the previous Cubasis version, which itself received 30+ free feature and maintenance updates over several years. Cubasis LE 3 can be unlocked from demo mode via the same supported devices. We also offer you to freely transfer your existing instrument and effect in-app purchases. Alongside, Cubasis LE 3 comes with a new Full Feature Set IAP, which can be purchases separately. From time to time, the IAPs are offered on sale. For more details, please have a look at our dedicated Cubasis 3 Sales statement article: https://www.steinberg.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=300&t=184027. Hope that helps, LarsNeed a midi bluetooth device to upgrade !
I don’t have a midi bluetooth device, how do I unlock the in app upgrade from LE2 to LE3 ?
Update: The automatic reply from the developer shows that they didn’t listen to my question.
Update #2: I try to unlock demo mode by connecting an iRig Bluetooth Midi Blueboard but it seems that this device is not supported even though almost every other iRig device is, very frustrating, I paid $50 for Cubasis and now I have to buy useless hardware to unlock it !
Reply #3 to developer,
Your question was; what hardware did i use to unlock Cubasis Le !
A: I didn’t have to, I just paid the $49 on the App Store and installed it on my iPad.Show lessredbeansandrice

Hi redbeansandrice, Thank you for your updated review. Please confirm: (1) If you paid $49, it looks like you've purchased Cubasis instead of Cubasis LE (2) You are not equipped with a compatible device to unlock Cubasis LE from demo mode. (3) To have your supported, please let us have a proper report what exactly you are looking for. Regarding your IK Multimedia device in use: It's up to our OEM partners to decide on the products they want to support for the Cubasis LE demo unlock. I'D suggest to get in touch with IK Multimedia to let them know about your request. Thank you & stay well, Lars --- --- --- Hi redbeansandrice, Thank you for adding the information about your device in use. IK Multimedia's iRig BlueBoard was never supported to unlock Cubasis LE. What device did you use to unlock the previous Cubasis LE 2 version, and why can't you use that device to unlock Cubasis LE 3? Important: There is no Cubasis LE 2/LE 3 update available. However it is possible to freely transfer existing instrument and effect in-app purchases from Cubasis LE 2 to Cubasis LE 3. Hope that helps! Thanks, Lars ---- ---- ---- Hi redbeansandrice, Thank you for your updated review and rating. We do not post automatic replies.
