Cubase 10 is here

Since Cubase 7 or 8 if I remember correctly, Steinberg put a significant release for its flagship software every year, around Christmas. And it is happening again, somehow. Cubase PRO 10 is available now in the Steinberg official shop. Various downloadable updates and upgrades, crossgrades, and education versions are exclusively available through the Steinberg Online Shop and the Steinberg website.

The major release encompasses all three editions: Pro, Artist and Elements and boasts a sheer endless number of new features and enhancements to its studio-grade audio and MIDI tools for composing, recording, editing and mixing.

New features in STEINBERG CUBASE PRO 10

  • VariAudio 3: One of the most significant new features in Cubase is VariAudio 3’s new functions. Tuning vocals, vocal editing and vocal pitch correction are now more flexible and accurate then ever before. In this video, Greg Ondo takes you through all the VariAudio enhancements, which make vocal editing in Cubase extremely fast and powerful.
  • MixConsole Snapshots: Instantly recall different project mixes and settings to quickly compare mixes and add mix notes. MixConsole snapshots is a new mixer feature in Cubase which not only allows up to 10 instances of saving the MixConsole as a preset, but to quickly and easily extract different components from each one to build the perfect final mix in Cubase 10.

  • Audio Alignment: Stack and match recordings quickly, easily synchronizing them to a reference track. [CUBASEPro] Integrated audio alignment is one of many requested new features in Cubase 10. This video shows how tightening vocal recordings is now achievable without hours of audio editing.
  • New channel strip: The new channel strip in Cubase 10 features a redesigned user interface, adding functionality and making it quicker to use. It is simple to add processing to the channel strip – such as channel EQ, noise gate, compression, de-esser, envelope shaper, saturation, limiter, maximizer and more – as well as to drag and drop the modules to re-order them and to choose different routing options.

This video shows how to route the sidechain and to choose the sidechain input, quickly achieving the desired effect
