Would be perfect if the midi was fixed but it completely ruins it.

Just bought this and am instantly regretting because the midi is so hard to use and frustratingly long winded. You have to press an edit button to place a note then press it again then you can’t even resize it properly because it doesn’t register when you try to drag the note length it drags the note instead then I accidentally delete it cause of the fusterating system. Bandlab is a free app and it does midi perfectly it’s intuitive and fast and easy to use i don’t get why this has to be borderline impossible.

Amazing

Incredible… I use Nuendo, Cubasis and Fender Studio. On the road creativity Cubasis it’s a monster!!!… It’s a blessing!

Excellent

Great app

The Most Valuable, Most Feature-Rich iOS DAW Offering

Cubasis is the most capable and most useful music tool for iOS I’ve ever used. I can pull off mixes comparable to what’s possible with Cubase or Ableton. Essential and highly recommended for any music producer with an ipad.

Audio

Recorded audio is always out of sync, it’s been like this even in desktop Cubase for years as compared to Logic Pro . Recently I recorded guitar through Katana Go , no matter how accurately I played , still it goes out of sync . Such a waste of money !!

It is decent and it’s stable.

It comes with usable effects. I use it regularly. It’s better than logic in the sense that it does not have flashback recording. I hate that about logic. It’s better than Zenbeats in that you do not need a midi controller to record plugin automations. It pales to logic because you can’t save plugin chains. It pales to Zenbeats because it does not have vca fading inline for midi file. It has fading but it is velocity based so it is choppy. Also the fades do not allow sinusoidal curves. The audio editor is very rudimentary. All in all it is solid and updated fairly often. There is no way to route midi notes to audio effects that I have been able figure out so you cannot use vocoder effect and vocal effects such as BLEASS voices as intended. It may have to do with plugin pins but you cannot use vocoder do it in logic. However because of its ease of use and solidity it is my go to.

Please integrate Splice or make it work!

I make music on the go in my work truck. I spent an entire day installing all my iOS music apps on my iPad, including the Splice app. I use a lot of samples in my music… it is integral to me using Cubasis. Well… when Cubasis is open, Splice makes no sound. I don’t want to have to close Cubasis to hear Splice or vice versa. I need to hear the beat playing so I can determine what sounds I want to sample. This is such a workflow killer for me… I understand it may not be entirely Steinberg’s fault, but whoever’s fault it is, I just want it to work how it should!

My favorite daw on my iPad

Very reliable

The Best DAW on IOS!!!

The closest thing to me, iOS has to Avid Protools for mobile! A professional, portable tool for sessions on the go! I have a couple requests though…. Can you please add aux bus tracks for sends and group inserts per track for the ability to send and record audio from one track to another, 2. the ability to drag n drop samples chromatically to the mini sampler to instantly spread across the keys, and 3. Track settings to save and recall vocal and effect chains. Outside of that a dedicated multi sampler chopper for chopping samples like a MPC to send to the pads! That’s It!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Wishlist

For me, this is the best DAW on iOS. Would love to see the drum pattern editor and chord track added in the next big update, and maybe future in app purchases for lite versions of variaudio and groove agent.

The best mobile studio

Seriously. This is the best mobile studio out there hands down.

Stem exports out of sync

I have tried everything, including bouncing down everything to audio within Cubasis before exporting, and shifting all tracks up a few bars. I have disabled all plugins. No matter what I do, the tracks end up off time with each other when exporting stems. This is ridiculous. It’s been like this forever. There are complaints of this dating back before 2022, and nothing has been done. Steinberg needs to get their “stuff” together, putting it nicely!

Missing midi export

Frustratingly bad export settings

コードトラック

Cubase proのようにコードトラックを使えるようにして欲しいです。

Satisfait du logiciel Cubasis 3.8

IL y a beaucoup d’avantages et de facilité pour démarrer sa musique.

Response from developer

Bonjour rerios, Merci beaucoup for your kind review and rating! We are glad to read that you enjoy using Cubasis so far! Stay well and warm greetings! Aur revoir, Lars

i have not read other reviews

but if they don’t say this app is fantastic but also real, then they are mistaken. for sketching this is faster and more intuitive than computer. multitrack with effects and automations… on your phone

My rey

Es genial este daw tanto como para iPhone como para pc💍

良いけど、、

機能についてはすごく良いです!
しかしサンプラーが読み込めず自分で録音した音が使えないです、、
それができるようになれば星5です

Terrible even with iaps

This app is more geared towards generic producers and not electronic ones. It is very unintuitive and doesn’t always place loops accurately. The built in synths are limited and the fx very basic, including the iap ones. Bought halion thinking it would make a difference but it doesn’t. It’s limited in its ability and offers minimal tweaks. If you like a fast workflow this will dissapoint. Navigating this app is very tiresome. Better stick with garage band imho

Deleted the app forever and getting refund for the iaps
