Steinberg Cubase Pro 10.5

Award-winning music production software

Cubase has long been a keystone in the music production world. It is revered for its innovative sequencing, editing and mixing abilities. Previous versions have gained Steinberg a wide range of awards and accolades, further cementing its reputation as one of the most versatile and powerful DAWs on the market.

Cubase 10.5 provides a variety of new enhancements, effects and virtual instruments; expanding its ever-growing arsenal of audio tools. A range of tools are exclusive to the Pro version including VariAudio 3, MixConsole Snapshots, Audio Alignment, AAF support, ARA support, Steinberg Virtual Reality production suite and improved editing for video soundtrack production.

The highly intuitive interface allows you to compose, record, edit and mix songs with ease. You can record instruments, vocals, ensembles or soloists and produce the perfect take every time.

Revised channel strip

One of the most prominent new features is the redesigned Channel Strip. The channel strip is the most important element when it comes to mixing and editing audio. The new and improved design is more ergonomic, providing a quicker workflow. It also extends the Channel Strip’s functionality, providing new metering elements and direct visual feedback of each module.

VariAudio 3

VariAudio is the ultimate audio-editing and pitch correction tool. The previous version of VariAudio has revolutionised the way audio professionals interact with vocal recordings. It provides the means to edit pitch, correct time and intonation of notes, within monophonic vocal recordings. The in-depth tools it provides allow you to utilise subtle pitch correction that will optimise sung vocals.

VariAudio 3 now includes Smart Controls, designed to speed up your workflow. It provides direct control of all parameters at each segment for quick and easy changes. It allows you to edit the micro pitch level for smooth drifts and transitions. You can also adjust the formant shift, compensating the digital editing to create natural tones.

Save and recall with MixConsole snapshots

You can now create alternate mixes with ease, thanks to the new MixConsole Snapshots. This new tool allows you to save your current mix within a tab in the MixConsole. This allows you to create multiple mixes and save them for instant recall. You can even annotate your Snapshot, and even choose to recall certain EQ settings or individual tracks. This is a great tool for mixing, allowing you to create different mixes on the fly.
