Personalized Views
You can flexibly adapt mixer views to suit the task at hand. Two freely configurable mixer views are available in Cubase Studio 4. You can configure each mixer window so that it shows a specific combination of channels, channel types and zooms, an option you’ll find especially helpful when mixing big projects. Mixer views can be also be stored as presets.
The Channel Strip window for audio and MIDI tracks can now also be configured to reflect your desired display options. Sections can be switched on or off, and their order from left to right can also be setup exactly the way you want. Configurations can, of course, be saved and recalled as view presets.

Every mixer knob may be automated. Cubase Studio 4 supports numerous external controllers that let you ergonomically control the VST Mixer and intuitively record fades and pans.
Full Export Options
With the Export function, you can save the finished mix in almost all standard formats, for instance, AIFF, Sound Designer II (Mac only), WAV, WAV 64, Broadcast WAV, MP3 (with optional encoder), WMA Pro (Windows only). By bouncing tracks offline, you can save considerable time when creating comparison mixes.
