What’s new in Cubase Elements 12

A wide range of new features and workflow enhancements are included within Cubase Elements 12 such as deeper integration for MIDI controllers, as well new function and key commands to speed up the editing process. One of the most groundbreaking new features is the ability to instantly convert audio to MIDI chords by simply dragging your selected audio onto the Chord Track within Cubase. This tool is great for sampling, remixing and demoing ideas quickly and efficiently. The new ‘FX Modulator’ is perfect for experimenting with sounds and creating new tones from existing sounds via multi-effect modulation.

This provides you with resolutions up to 192 kHz, as well as 5.1 surround sound possibilities, versatile routing and automatic delay compensation. There's good reason why some of the world's leading producers and musicians choose Cubase to capture their fleeting moments of inspiration.

Say goodbye to the dongle!
