List of Feature Requests

Good point. There should be a Gate in the FX-section.

Exactly :slight_smile:

I totally agree! I was very disappointed to discover, after purchase, that Cubasis was only 16 bit. For now it will only serve a s a scratch pad for me with “real” recording done in Auria.

Which is a drag frankly because I think just about everything wrt workflow is better/easier/more-intuitive in Cubasis.

my requests include:

–folder tracks
–folders in media bay
–drag duplication (or repeated “copies to end” of previous paste)
–a simplified version of arranger track (I realize a “fully-capable” arranger track is a fairly robust implementation) … but a simplified version might be: draw/select A, B, C, D, etc., sections… clicking apply would instantly flatten track to said arrangement. One could revert to previous snapshots to try/impliment alternatives.
–midi clock in and out
–sub-group creation assignment (like Auria)
–vst plugins

plenty more… but these for starters.

IMO, Cubasis needs to match the sonic capabilities of Auria to actually be perceived as a pro competitor and not some “lo-fi” app toy.

Usability… ease of use… intuitive wise Cubasis trounces Auria, which IMO is a pain in the butt to use. For example every time I record a track in Auria I have to go find the track in the mixer or expand the view in order to unclick the record-enable button to even hear the track! Hello!!That kind of work flow clunkiness is not only totally lame but makes me think the developers have never even done any actual recording! I could go on and on… (like going to some some menu/page to just toggle the metronome… another Hello? anybody home?)

Seriously, I bought Auria a few months back soooo excited. But seriously, after using it a dozen hours or so, I don’t even want to go near it. ESPECIALLY after using Cubasis for not even a few hours already!

Here’s what really irks me: that Cubasis/Steinberg is forcing me to still have to rely on Auria to get pro quality multi-track recordings (which any pro will agree STARTS at 24 bit, minimum).

One post very aptly put it: why is the Cubasis team giving us 1980’s audio quality in 2013? I concurwith THAT question (assessment).

That said I love Steinberg, having used it since 1988 and having produced over 30 commercially released CDs on it over the last 30 years. I ain’t leavin.

But I am scratchin’ my head on this one one. I’m not worried. I KNOW these guys are smart enough to get this together… but hopefully soooooooner rather than later, nudge nudge wink wink say-no-mo.

Cubasis is a scratchpad. But a very powerfull one.
And the developers are doing a great job. If the auria-
developers would have implemented MIDI,
it’d also take a bit longer I guess. It’s a question of the focus.
And if Cubasis was audio-only, it’d already be there.
But I’m glad that it’s not audio-only.
Cubasis is a production tool. Not a fully featured
recording software yet. But I guess the patience will be worth it.

I would like to request markers for sections of the composition. This would be hugely helpful.
Thanks for making a great app for real music production.

Hi all,

Following features also if provided, will make cubasis more attractive and worth for the money:

Noise gate
Option to add silence in selected portion of the waveform
Time stretch in waveform
Indian drumkits like Tabla, Mridang, indian percussion, indian loops and note tuneable tabla tones, mridang etc.
Note tuneable loops and tempo changeable loops.

Thanks and regards,

import zip instrument files like fl studio mobile…a synth…a multi sampler…duck the rest!

Track teampo change, it is ridicolous that this easy feature is not implemented in any of the iOS daws/sequencers.
I play in a prog-rock band and can’t use cubasis because our songs change meter and tempo many times.

we needs CC and PC and SysEx midi messages implementation in/out …come on u can do it :bulb: :bulb:

oups i forget …Microtuning / scala :bulb: :bulb:

I know that Cubasis provides a web interface that allows you to copy files to your PC. However this is quite slow for big files that are more then 1 GB.
iTunes only allows me to copy the complete Mixdown/Project/Audio folders which means that everytime I have to copy more then what I need.

I would like to have a possibility to copy individual projects (or audio files) through direct USB connection instead of only the web interface through wifi.

i mentioned it a couple of months ago but i have to bump it cause it got really annoying over the time:

when i solo a track and switch solo off again,all tracks - that where muted before - are unmuted.I don’t know of any situation when this"feature"could be useful.Tracks should stay muted,i don’t want to have them playing all at once.Or at least i want to decide myself…

And please:at least volume automation sooooon :wink:

1)In midi editor When grid is off, show the last selected grid with dotted line
2)Double tap the grid square to enable and disable the last selected grid resolution

A small Mixer view would be very handy,just like in Cubase/Nuendo.From time to time i would love to see more than 8 tracks at once.

I know this have already been mentioned but I assume more noise helps

CC Automation and some sort of timestretch capability please.

Looplay in audioeditor…
Why had this essential function even has to be a request???

Automation

Ability to control Cubasis from transportcontrollers like Launchkey

Micrologue is fantastic, but it sounds very “static” in the mix if you can’t record all those fantastic filter sweeps… :frowning:
So, sorry to sound like a broken record Steinberg, but please place Automation on the top of your priority list for next Cubasis update…

AUTOMATION

That’s the big one which will make this something actually usable on any kind of serious level. Until then it’s just a fun curiosity.

C’mon Steinberg!

i have to second this.

I would love to see automation in Cubasis but I am being honest, I don’t miss it that much, there are ways around it. Not 20 years ago there was not much Automation. You decided something sounded good you recorded it, it either was good or you replace it again.

I would much rather see an option for freezing tracks to include the FX Tail in the beginning of the flattened Audiofile. For creating a seamlessly looping track. As it stands now I have to use 2 Audiotracks, it works but it would keep the project a little bit more tidy.

And the inclusion of sidechain would be nice. While with most Synths you can easily achieve the effect with LFO Amp Modulation its is much more productive having it as an effect. I wouldnt really need a Sidechain in the Compressor, just an insert Effect that Sidechains according to the Host Tempo and some basic settings. Much like the Vengeance Multiband Sidechain does…Yes I know I am a trancer, we need that stuff. :mrgreen:

And last but not least, we all know it will come, Groove Agent or a similar drum sampler.
