Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of Steinberg Cubase

Welcome

Congratulations and thank you for your purchase of Steinberg

Cubase/Cubase Studio. 2009 marks the 25th anniversary

of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH and our

key message “Creativity First” has never had more meaning

than today. Over many years and many product generations

Cubase has grown from a classic MIDI sequencer

to possibly the most powerful music production software

money can buy. And as a Cubase user, you have now become

a member of the largest community of music software

users on the planet!

With Cubase you have chosen an advanced music production

system, which will take you from the very first idea

to the final mix. Maybe you’re a keyboard player, a songwriter,

an instrumentalist or a mixing engineer. Maybe

you’re a professional, a hobby musician, a student or a

teacher – Cubase has it all covered and gives you the

tools you need to record, edit, mix and master your music.

Unique features such as the Arranger Track, VST Sound,

Control Room (Cubase only) and the introduction of industry

standards like VST and ASIO are good examples

for how Steinberg technology has always driven music

technology and paved ways for others to follow.

Designed by the software engineers at Steinberg and the

hardware experts at Yamaha, Steinberg Advanced Integration

hardware is the ideal choice for you as a valued

Cubase customer. Full plug&play connectivity and True Integrated

Monitoring™ are only two of the many advantages

that come with hardware and software that have

been made for each other.

Cubase 5 puts new creative tools into your hands, which

allow you to realize your musical ideas more easily and intuitively

than ever before. LoopMash (Cubase only) is a

revolutionary virtual instrument offering a fresh and innovative

way of producing stunning new beats and loop variations.

Groove Agent One pairs powerful drum sampling

with detailed sound shaping – all seamlessly integrated

into Cubase and working hand in hand with the new Beat

Designer plug-in, so you can capture your ideas faster and

experiment freely.

VariAudio offers completely integrated pitch and note

length editing for individual notes in monophonic vocal recordings

- bridging the gap between traditional MIDI and

audio editing. The new Pitch Correct plug-in in Cubase introduces

easy and automatic intonation control and scale

correction of vocal and monophonic instrument recordings.

If you are into composing, you will be excited about

VST Expression which takes the pain out of working with

multiple instrument articulations of huge libraries
