I use Cubasis to adit podcasts. Easy to apply effects and to edit.

I have investigated different ways to create music on iPad and this is the most complete solution I’ve found. As an example, Xequence 2 + Audiobus + AUM didn’t make it all the way. Various things that broke my workflow. As for Cubasis. Ffs please provide the same search option as AUM has. Drag down to show a search field for Audio Units 💗💗💗

Although a good DAW I find that there are 2 things that I’m struggling with. The Media bay is just an quirky, just make use of the iOS files directly. Instead of drag and drop into the editor you have to import it into the media bay first and so on. The midi editor is bad compared to Xequence, Helium and Atom. And it seems like there is a problem with Bluetooth headphones too.

Not possible to record in a loop, good sounds and no limit tracks

Cubasis 3 is a good DAW but GarageBand is still in the lead. Everything in GarageBand is so much more intuitive than in Cubasis 3. Cubasis 3 has much going for it. The editing is great. It’s easy to move parts around and arrange a song. Good sounding FX. And there it ends. The good stuff. Shure. Cubasis 3 has good instrument sounds and good drum sounds. But so does GarageBand. And it’s easy to work in GarageBand to. Where Cubasis 3 fails compared to GarageBand is in user friendliness. In GarageBand it’s easy to plug in a guitar or bass, a vocal mic and find a good sound to record. That’s the classic way of working in any DAW as a songwriter with a guitar. In Cubasis 3 it’s a nightmare. Shure Cubasis 3 allows the user to implement 3rd party apps via IA audio but it doesn’t work as supposed. Apps goes silent or other strange things happens. In the end I just unplugg and go to bed. Having nightmares over how bad IA audio works in Cubasis 3. Not entirely Steinberg fault. They just don’t fit together as they should. 3rd party apps and Cubasis 3. And if you try to make your own guitar, bass or vocal sound in Cubasis 3, be prepared to dive into menus and spend a good amount of time before you’re done. You won’t be impressed with the guitar/bass or vocal sound coming out of Cubasis 3. It doesn’t have any presets or “programs” for guitar/bass or vocals. Your vocal sound might be an easy fix but not the rest. Next morning. Good morning GarageBand. How lovely to meet you again old friend. Everything works. Cubasis has a loooong way to go before it’s where GarageBand is. Not until Steinberg has their own guitar/vocal apps implemented from within Cubasis and a dedicated drum mixer will they be able to compete with GarageBand. As it stands today, Cubasis 3 is a good DAW but horribly unintuitive. And it has nothing to do with learning Cubasis workflow. It’s just that Cubasis workflow isn’t flowing. It’s a stumbling and a falling for Cubasis. It has the potential to take the lead. But it’s just not there yet. Maybe in Cubasis 4? Until then I’ll be busy making music in GarageBand.

Cubasis 3 is easy to use, has much to offer and is the most effective for me who is working on an ipad pro. Plugins works beutifully. easy to navigate and it has all the functions I need. If you have an ipad, go with Cubasis. just do it.

I’m having issues with lag, probably buffering issues and not being able to lower the buffer size. I’m also not able to bounce songs without the app crashing. This might be because of ios update, which caused problems with another daw app.

I like the program and it seems very versitile. One suggestion for the next update would be to uppdate for the new mouse support for scrolling menus and right clicking would make the program even better!

It seems impossible to import in app purchases made in Cubasis2 on old iPad into iPhone version. According to info in the forum I would need to buy a new iPad that can handle v3, install both versions on that and only then is it possible to restore IAPs so that I can have them imported to my iPhone. Please correct me if I got this wrong.

I was holding off stepping up from Cubasis 2 till this arrived. Thank you so much for this. Works perfectly, my in app purchases transferred across flawlessly so credit where credit is due. I know the mini sampler still needs fixing but Steinberg have at least been transparent about it and it’s on the way. No crashes. None. I am spending way more productive time with this than Logic on my iMac. It has even got me interested in Cubase Pro - mostly because of the easy air drop project transfers I have seen demos of on Youtube. We will see there though as that is a significant extra cost for that luxury. Summary: Very impressive, rock solid iOS DAW. No excuse not to take the leap now.
