![]() ![]() These are P1 critical bugs that cause the user to lose their work. Every single bug I find in Cubasis is what any other software company would consider a showstopper but Steinberg consider release worthy. I’m using the highest spec iPad it’s possible to buy right now and using a midi plugin that has never once disappeared when I use it in any other DAW, and I use it in almost everything I make. Seeing this thread made me give it another chance this morning, I got 8 bars into something I was starting to really like and all of a sudden one of my instruments was no longer playing - turned out cykle had just disappeared, and with it the baseline that I’d spent an hour carefully constructing. ![]() I honestly have no idea how any of you get anything done on it. I used to love CB2 but, and I’m sure you’ve all seen me beat this drum before, CB3 even now is not release ready. If you haven’t tried it in the last 10 months, I highly recommend you do so. But I have yet to use an iOS DAW that does everything that CB3 can do as well as it does. It can’t do everything a desktop DAW can do. It did have quite a few issues when it first came out. It is developed by one of the biggest and oldest names in music production, who is also owned by Yamaha. Using an AU feels no different than using one of the native plugins. You can expand its functionality by connecting AUs and IAAs without it feeling cumbersome to do so. You can buy it and it alone and get quite a lot of mileage. I didn’t use it enough to really see what other features it might be lacking.Ĭompare all of that to CB3. AEM felt a bit clunky and less user friendly when it came to overall workflow. If I remember correctly, it also does not allow you to have an AU and the virtual keyboard on the screen at the same time. Zenbeats also has had issues for me with scaling AUs. It also has some problems when it comes to AU scaling, can’t record AU effect automation or instrument input (ie EG Pulse sequencer and Ruismaker Noir), and buries key controls in menus. NS2 doesn’t have audio tracks which is immediately a deal breaker. AUM and AudioBus workflows are modular and have workflows that more closely mirror hardware setups. BM3 and Auria Pro are out of the running because they’re not Universal which is a key requirement for me. These are the basics that any DAW should provide, and CB3 provides them all in a nice package. Internal and external plugin parameters can be automated. It comes with some solid native instruments and effects (some of which are IAP). The recent addition of keyboard support makes the workflow even smoother. Key controls are very easily accessed without being buried in menus. It has a simple, user-friendly interface that promotes a fluid workflow. There’s a piano roll, virtual keyboard, and mixer panel. ![]() To put it simply, CB3 feels the most like a desktop DAW to me. I also don’t use any hardware so I cannot speak to how it compares in that respect. ![]() I may also be biased toward Steinberg products as Steinberg Sequel was the first software I ever used to make music. I have an iPad Pro that I use from time to time, but I primarily use my iPhone 11. I do most of my music production on my iPhone. If I were a vlogger, I’d make a vlog about it. I’ve been asked a number of times what I like about it and why I prefer it over other options. Within the past year, I have been a pretty staunch supporter of Cubasis 3. ![]()
