There’s a lot of reasons why Cubase is great for dubstep, complextro, electro, etc… Here’s a few of my favorites:
- Media Bay lets you tag synth samples by key making it super easy to find the perfect little 1/4 bar synth sound for your track (not to mention all the other benefits of Media Bay).
- Midi Loops can be used to create and save those little 1/4 or 1/2 bar synth patterns that are so common in these respective genres. IMO these better than audio samples because you can easily transpose them to whatever note you want.
- Arranger Track lets you experiment with different patterns/arrangements even within a single bar.
