STEINBERG CUBASE
By admin | April 26, 2009
Steinberg Cubase is a computer software program for music production and recording. The program offers recording, producing and mixing of sounds in order to make music compositions for distribution on CDs or the internet. Most of the facilities in recording studios are now available for anyone who owns a computer and uses Steinberg Cubase .
Steinberg Cubase is a series of MIDI, music sequencer and digital audio editing computer applications generally known as a DAW or Digital Audio Workstation.
Recently on January 15, 2009, Steinberg announced that the new version, Cubase 5, was now ready and would be shipped off in early February 2009. Steinberg officially started shipping Cubase 5 on January 27, 2009. The numerous new features include: drum machine features, vocal editing and (real time) pitch correction, VST expression tools for easy editing of instrument articulations, improved handling of automation data, and a VST3 convolution reverb. This version also supports 64 bit-technology under Windows Vista- which is a must for modern computer users.
Steinberg Cubase creates projects which allow the music producer to edit MIDI files, raw audio tracks, and other associated information like lyrics, and to present them in a range of formats including musical scores, editing console, event lists and so on. The composer can also mix the various tracks down into a stereo .wav file which is then ready to be burned onto a CD in Red Book format or .mp3 burnt to CD or DVD as files or to be published on the world-wide web. This makes Steinberg Cubase a favorite of Home Studio enthusiasts all over the world.
While MIDI is a fairly common standard for representation of digital music, there is no generally accepted standard for the interchange of complete projects containing both MIDI and audio between Cubase and other competing recording and editing software suites such as Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Digital Performer, or Cakewalk. So while actual pure recorded audio information can be exchanged, it is very difficult to import a whole project with specific edits, instrument information and automation in its native format from Cubase to another application and vice versa. The cross-platform OMFI format which is supported by Cubase SX resolves this issue to a certain degree. This is one of the features which makes Steinberg Cubase stick out from some of the other Music Producing Suites.
Steinberg Cubase has been one of the heavy weights in Music Production and Recording computer software programs around. And it will continue to be so for as long as the growing trend in private Home Studios continues its steady growth all across America and the world.
