### 2/5 — Difícil

*2026-07-15*

Free porém precisa de hardware eu imagino

**Developer response:** Hi João besta,

Thank you for your review and rating.

Cubasis LE includes a free 30-minute demo mode, which can be restarted as often as you like. This allows you to explore and test a streamlined feature set of the full Cubasis version at your own pace.

For unlimited use, Cubasis LE can be unlocked by connecting a compatible audio device. The app is bundled with a wide range of supported audio interfaces and music hardware from many leading manufacturers (find out more at steinberg.net/cubasisle).

To learn more about the full Cubasis version, please take a look at our Getting Started tutorial (https://youtu.be/KcFuk4z-eUQ?si=T-ZTVZ9su91pog2q) and explore the many additional videos available on the same channel.

Hope that helps!

Stay well

### 4/5 — LEで試用後、完全版を購入しました。

*2026-06-13*

iPhoneやiPad用のDAWでは最強だと思います。
ひと通り使い倒した結果、
以下、改善したらもっと使いやすくなると思った点です。


・オートメーションを描く際にコピペを使うと今まで描いた線が意図しない形に変化するバグがあります(地味に直すのが大変です)。
直してほしいです。

・純正エフェクトにもかかわらずつまみを回しても数値の表示が変化しないバグが確認されるものがあります(master stripとか)。効果は適用されていますが。

・オートメーションのポイントの上下の位置を数値指定出来るようになるか、無理であれば少なくとも右側の端スライダーに値を表示して欲しい。

・オートメーションのパラメーター名の表示が省略され過ぎて目的のものを探すのが大変です。
文字サイズを小さくしてフルで表示できるようになりませんか？

・フェーダーや各パラメーターの値を数値で指定できるようにしてほしい(やはりモバイルデバイスでは微細な操作が難しい)。

・プラグイン画面から移動せずにトラックのミュートやソロを切り替えられるようにしてほしい(iPhone)。

・トラックプリセット的な機能があると便利と思いました。

・オートセーブ機能がありますが、最後の保存が数分前になっていることがしばしば見受けられるので、手動での保存もできると安心だと思いました。

・iOS版GarageBandのdrummerのようなドラムパターン生成プラグインを出して欲しい…有料でも全然買います。

**Developer response:** Hi supernatural4565,

Many thanks for your kind rating and in-depth Cubasis LE review.

Your feedback will be shared with the team, and we hope to address the topics in your review in future updates.

Again, thank you very much for your kind rating and review!

Stay well
and warm greetings, 
Lars

有料版のcubasis4はいつ頃出るか教えてください。大体でもいいです。今年中に出るとか今年は出ず来年に出るとか

### 4/5 — Transférer licence android vers ios

*2026-04-23*

Bonjour, comment faire pour transférer sa licence de l’explorateur android vers iOS ?

**Developer response:** Bonjour J2V89,

Cubasis for iOS is distributed through the Apple App Store, Cubasis for Android/Chrome OS is distributed through the Google Play Store. The two stores don’t interrelate and don’t offer any crossgrade options, which means that to own any app on both iOS and Android/Chrome OS, it must be purchased on both stores, unfortunately.

To further exchange about this topic, please file a report at our Cubasis forum (steinberg.net/cubasisforum) and make sure to include the info about this rating.

Thanks
Lars

### 2/5 — Stupid crippled midi editor

*2026-04-11*

Just to note. 
I have purchased full feature set plus waves stuff as well so I’m not whining about free stuff here.

Just add handles for handling notes/midi containers etc
Simple like one for up/down one for Left/Right and at least one for note length it should work also on clip event sizing. Look how NanoStudio 2 had its midi/event sequencing done. Much much faster and frustration free. I’m soo bloody disappointed that simple note resizing takes several attempts. Unusable for me as I don’t like ton of unnecessary moves/work etc to achieve something so simple.

**Developer response:** Hi cray23, 

Thank you very much for your Cubasis LE 3 review and rating.

We are sorry to read that you are disappointed using the MIDI editor. Your feedback has been shared with the team, and we hope to be able to improve the behaviour in future update.

Best,
Lars

### 3/5 — Mixdownできない

*2026-01-15*

iPadとiPad Proにて使用しています。曲を編集してMixdownをしても編集前の状態でMixdownされてしまいます。
こちら側の問題でしょうか？

**Developer response:** Hi 永遠宙, 

Thank you for your review and rating! 
We are sorry to read about your freezing issue, which should not be the case. 

Please try the following steps: 
(1) Go to the iPad settings.
(2) Scroll down the left pane to the "Cubasis LE" app icon. 
(3) Tap the "Cubais LE" app icon and enable "Load empty project on next app launch.

Once done please relaunch Cubasis LE 3.

Please let me know if Cubasis LE works as expected afterwards.

Thanks
& stay safe,
Lars

### 1/5 — Trial lets you do very little

*2025-10-21, version 3.7.8*

Not good enough of a trial, needs more feature access. Give unlimited feature access for 7 days or something.

### 4/5 — 什么时候可以支持视频播放呢？

*2025-10-19*

像Mac上那样，对着视频录音或者制作配乐。这真的很重要。

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for your review and rating.

### 1/5 — Just why

*2025-10-16*

If I were making something, after 30mins I wouldn’t just toss all my hard work away, I might not even be able to finish it, but that’s exactly what this poor app does. You cannot stretch a sample into syncing with the tempo so it will just turn into garbage, and you can’t even make your own samples. Very poor, you can do better than this

**Developer response:** Hi beabooks, 

Cubasis LE comes bundled with a wide range of audio devices to unlock the app from demo mode. If you are not equipped with a bundle device, you can run a smaller feature set of Cubasis in a 30 minute demo mode, which can be restarted as often as you like.

To find out more what the full Cubasis version offers, please check out our "Getting started with Cubasis" tutorial (https://youtu.be/KcFuk4z-eUQ?si=weZfW2S8laxW7HSi) and find much more tutorials on the same channel.

### 1/5 — 3.7.8より

*2025-08-31*

インプットゲインがN/A表示になり調整不可になっており、楽器を鳴らしても全く認識されません
アップデート前は普通に使えたのですが
早急に修正お願いします

**Developer response:** Dear lp-c, Thank you for your Cubasis rating and review. Please file a bug report at our forum at steinberg.net/cubasisleforum to allow us exchanging with you regarding your issue. Thank you & stay well, Lars

### 4/5 — 困る

*2025-08-30*

無料版である事、またiPhoneの仕様問題かも知れず、機器との相性もあるかもしれませんが、44.1khzだったり、48khzであったりと動作が安定しません。
正直、44.1khzだった時の絶望感は計り知れません。

**Developer response:** Hi おかちいもあ, 

Thank you very much for your review and rating!

There should generally be no issues regarding stability. 

Could the kHz anomaly be related to using external devices with the iPhone (such as Bluetooth headphones or similar)? It might also be caused by running other apps in parallel that access audio settings.

If any problems arise, closing Cubasis and restarting it should resolve them immediately. For audio setting issues, restarting the device and ensuring no other audio apps are running at the same time (aside from AUv3 plug-ins or similar apps) might help.

Please let me know if this helps.

Best regards,
Lars

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2025-08-16, version 3.7.8*

Don’t download

### 1/5 — Not great

*2025-08-09*

**Developer response:** Hi Shurrrr10,

### 1/5 — nothing works app is trash

*2026-08-08, version 3.8.5*

tried to use this with an ipad and a behringer audio interface. after guessing my way through the dozens of idiotic hieroglyphs blindly i found the setting that had already recognized the interface for both audio input  and outputs but would not record, monitor, or playback any sounds after hitting record and or play... pretty terrible programming. maybe if you want to spend 2 weeks watching youtube tutorials this app could work but i'm not wasting any more of my sanity with it. also similar problem with using a bluetooth midi device and going through the midi learn steps in the app... the app refuses to respond even though the device is paired and works with other brands daws same as the audio interface. i didn't even need the full bs 29 minutes of a free trial to find out this app is complete trash. get loopy pro or garbage band instead where everything actually works without the headaches and the UI designed by people that can't read or write in english.

### 1/5 — Seems a bit pointless

*2026-06-26*

I wanted to test this to see if it was right for me but everything is locked behind a paywall. Can’t even load an auv3 track to see how well it works

**Developer response:** Hi Redinho83,

### 1/5 — It would be so great if I was smart

*2026-05-03, version 3.8.3*

This game has so much potential for everybody who plays it. I’m not that good at it so I didn’t really know how to create music and I’m just kind of sad. It’d be much nicer if you could add a simpler version oh also if you the owner replies on my message, please say yes or no to making a simple simpler version. Thank you. Peace out.

### 1/5 — Не бесплатное

*2026-04-24*

Мобильный секвенсор по цене полноценного. У меня все

### 1/5 — 音ズレ

*2026-02-23*

外部マイクを繋げてボーカル録って、ミックスダウンしたら、ボーカルが遅れて聞こえる。録る時と確認時はちゃんと合っているのに。

### 1/5 — Одна звезда

*2026-02-20*

Приложение платное , на Английском , новый проект не создать , просит 4 тысячи чтобы его купить

**Developer response:** Hi Макс1339,

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-02-05, version 3.8.2*

Turns out I have to buy a stupid fee of 50$ just so I can get more instruments, and they only give you like 3 instruments unless you buy the subscription which gives you like 500 instruments but it costs 50$ so Iam deleting the app and never using it again

### 1/5 — Не активируется.

*2026-01-28*

Тупо не активируется, не видит звуковую карту и т.д. Ничего не происходит.

**Developer response:** Hi SashkaSax,

Cubasis LE 3 runs in demo mode until it is unlocked via a compatible bundled audio device. To find out whether your device is supported to unlock Cubasis LE from demo mode, please check the list of bundled audio devices on our Cubasis LE website (steinberg.net/cubasisle).

If your device is listed, simply launch Cubasis, connect your audio device properly to the iPad (following the manufacturer’s instructions), and wait for the unlock pop‑up to appear.

Please let me know if this helps.

Best,
Lars

### 1/5 — 仕様なのか

*2025-12-20*

サンプリングレートが自動で16kHzになってしまい戻せない。

**Developer response:** Hi たまえみそ,

Cubasis LE 3.8.1 has been released today and resolves your Bluetooth problem alongside many other issues.

Please give it a try and let us have your feedback!

Thanks,
Lars

### 1/5 — Trial version that doesn’t let you try.

*2025-11-18*

My hardware isn’t on the supported list. And I wanted to test it with my already purchased plug ins but I can’t without making a purchase. Why bother having a trial if I can’t try out even basic features. I was prepared to pay for this but come on…let me try it out even if it is just with the sound files suppled in the trial version. Otherwise it’s not a trial is it?

**Developer response:** Hi Umbongowings,

Thank you for your review and rating.

Cubasis LE is bundled with a variety of audio devices that unlock the full version when connected. If you don’t own one of these devices, you can still explore Cubasis in demo mode with a limited feature set to see how it works with your setup.
