Show must go on…

Thank you for the wonderful app! Cubasis one of the closest to the desktop DAWs and pro workflows. But can you add some little midi effects like Pitch, Scale, Chords?

The DAW for iPad. Period.

If you come from Pro Tools, and wished for the same experience on the iPad, this is the tool you need. I never used Cubase before, I was all in with Pro Tools until I was in need for a mobile version. I tried a couple, until I found the one. This app is perfect. Now I’m thinking to try it on desktop as well… this app has been so good that it may change my mind about Pro Tools. Seriously.
