Steinberg Cubase Pro 9

Workflow Enhancements

Steinberg Cubase Pro 9 is the latest in the series of Steinberg’s award-winning DAW, featuring a range of new features and enhancements. A range of improvements have been added to the interface, designed to improve workflow including the new ‘Lower Zone’. The ‘Lower Zone’ window provides you with a concise and tidy overview of all your tools and editors, ideal for everything from home recording to multi-screen studio projects. The ‘Sampler Track’ feature allows you to import any piece of audio for quick and easy manipulation. The Sampler Track also comes complete with Caliedoscope, a dedicated sample library with hundreds of samples and presets to get you started. A new Frequency EQ plug-in has also been added for in-depth equalisation. This can be used for everything from subtle high-passes to removing problematic frequencies and more. The in-depth Spectrum Display gives you a visual indicator of where your frequencies are hitting, for precise editing. You can also collaborate with artists easier than ever before thanks to the cloud collaboration tools that give you the ability to share your projects online.

Exceptional Audio Quality

At the heart of Cubase Pro 9 is the award-winning 32-bit floating-point Steinberg audio engine, delivering up to 192kHz 5.1 surround sound with flexible routing and automatic delay compensation for optimal audio quality and performance. Cubase Pro 9 also provides you with unlimited audio, instrument and MIDI tracks as well as up to 256 physical inputs and outputs so you will never run out of editing space – even with the most demanding projects. Cubase Pro 9 comes complete with a varied range of outstanding instruments including over 3,000 sounds in total. One of the most prominent virtual instruments is the HALion Sonic SE 2 that builds on the success of the original HALion Sonic SE 2 with a wide range of rich sounding presets. The VariAudio tool is incorporated for MIDI-style note editing of monophonic audio tracks, allowing you to manipulate the pitch and correct the tuning.
