Svenne:
It’s nice to see Cubasis 2 arrive with lots of cool new features and as a free update, to boot. However, there are dark clouds. What must be the most requested feature, a Tempo/Signature track, appears to still be missing. There is a static Tempo/Signature setting, but that is not the same thing. Believe it or not, not everyone is making static music-styles, such as EDM. In many music styles, tempo changes are mandatory. I believe Cubasis is the world’s only DAW that does not include some kind of tempo track!
Secondly, I see no improvements regarding integration with Cubase. Steinberg has greatly improved the process of transferring audio files between Cubase and WaveLab. So, why not between Cubase and Cubasis, which would be an even more logical choice?
Yes, there is the “Cubasis Project Importer” for Cubase, but that is only of any use for projects that start out in Cubasis. Using Cubasis as a mobile recording option for exciting projects entails preparing the project (including rendering all MIDI files as audio files) in Cubase, exporting the audio-files as stems, importing these audio-files into Cubasis, exporting the newly recorded audio-files from Cubasis (again as stems), importing the newly recorded audio-files into Cubase, cleaning up the tracks (removing large chunks of silent audio, etc.). This is a very labour intensive and time consuming task. It’s also the type of task that computers excel in automating!
I will rate Cubasis in AppStore. But, unfortunately, it will receive a much lower rating than it would have, had Steinberg seen fit to address these important issues.
Hi Svenne,
Thanks for your message.
We’re aware about your tempo/signature track and the feature request is included on our list.
Cubasis is made by a small team and we carefully evaluate features and their costs before setting up the scope for upcoming updates in regards to our roadmap.
While I’m not able to give you a date when to expect the feature, please note that it is on our list.
Best,
