What I think could make you want to look at Cubase is, Steinberg are delivering some really powerful tools for editing, mixing, and finishing big, complex jobs. We talk about a lot more DAWs than that because people don’t all need something that does everything, or all the time, but the full-feature DAWs remain the same. Apart from some corporate identity changes, that’s the same four DAWs we might have talked about in 1990. For DAWs that do everything, including real multichannel support and features necessary to tasks like video scoring, the big rivals are Cubase, DP, Pro Tools, and Logic. So funny enough – everything old is new again. And now having seen Live 11, we know that won’t change any time soon. On the flipside, Ableton continue to stay away from anything like real multichannel panning support or surround, asset management that would work for gaming or more complex film/TV projects, or more advanced editing.
Logic Pro X 10.5 and DP 10 both introduced not only Live-style clips and nonlinear editing, but a number of features that suggest Live is now setting the agenda for the biggest DAWs. Rivals Apple and even MOTU in this generation of DAW have veered more to the kind of music production tools in Ableton Live. In short, this is Steinberg firing on all cylinders.Īnd it’s an important moment to do that. They also have some audio processing tools that look less like DAW add-ons and more like something that can go toe-to-toe with high-end third party offerings. But this year, they’re also adding the powerful visual audio editing tools of SpectraLayers and the typography from their excellent Dorico score engraving tool.
They’ve always been “the VST company,” with various instrument and plug-in integrations. Part of that is, Steinberg is finally bringing together a lot of their tools. Cubase 11 is looking like a landmark update. In the midst of the 2020 DAW updates, Steinberg appears to be uniquely focused on pro workflows and precise editing and sound processing tools.
