Also, all Cubase versions now feature near sample-accurate volume automation, independent of buffer size. The internal sampler is improved with audio warping for sample slices. The new SuperVision modes (histograms, VU meters, keyboard velocity, stereo balance) provide informative metering along with pleasing eye candy. Export options are upgraded with sidechain rendering – that is, you can export an individual stem and retain any sidechain effects processing. You can switch seamlessly between ARA software on every track. Likewise, ARA support on track level is a blessing for users of software like Melodyne, VocAlign, and SpectraLayers. This is huge for tightening up instrument performances. The import tracks from projects feature has been upgraded with the ability to import Tempo and Signature data, making it easier to carry audio between different DAWs.Īn excellent new addition is the Advanced Crossfade Editor for unapologetically surgical crossfade editing.

Video editors will be pleased with having 2 video tracks in a single project and users of the multiple MixConsole feature will like having a fourth at their disposal. I’ve always found doing that in other DAWs to be a bit of a pain in the rear. You can now select select several events and export them in 4 ways (Dry, Channel Settings, Complete Signal Path, + Master FX). Workflow & Editing ImprovementsĮfficiency is the name of the game when it comes to workflow improvements in Cubase 12. While it’s impossible to please everyone, I believe ditching the dongle will satisfy a lot more people that there are ones who miss it. The latter can be a concern when major updates and releases are published. An Internet connection is one requirement for that, and Steinberg servers not being overloaded with login requests is another. The future is about cloud activation, which is simple and effective – when it works. Goodbye, e-Licenser (and good riddance!)Ĭubase’s dongle life is now its past-life. It’s all carefully thought out, though, so dangers of product cannibalization and feature-bloating are kept in check.

A significant chunk of the latter owes to Steinberg adapting functionality from the rest of its flagship software (namely Dorico, SpectraLayers, and Nuendo) to its DAW. The core user interface and its paradigms are not to be tampered with – they are practically burned into the memory of long-time users, approachable for novices, and able to accommodate Cubase’s evolution. On the surface, Cubase 12 doesn’t look much different.
