What do you like best about Cubase?

The efficiency of working with VST plugins is essential and provides greater stability while optimizing the team's resources since virtual memory is not wasted on a fancy graphical interface, all the tools are included with the base version. Great compatibility with all kinds of music hardware and controllers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

It is complex, you have to understand very well how it works in order to make good use of it. You need training and many hours of practice to master this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cubase?

What I like the most is the perfect integration to work on your music through the Midi language, in addition to the possibility of integrating any vst effect or instrument, the interface has improved a lot and the user experience has become very pleasant. The color system it uses is also appreciated, which helps prevent eye strain. It has everything one looks for in a professional digital audio workstation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

What I don't like is that latency has to be managed manually, if you're not aware of this, latency can give you a big headache. It's annoying to hear some of your audio tracks or instruments out of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cubase?

It is a powerful music production tool, it has no comparison. The work flows flawlessly, I like the way they've been boosting midi sequencing lately. The built-in audio effects and vst are sufficient for any producer with medium knowledge. I like how intuitive and stable the software is to record, edit and mix both audio and Midi, either with external instruments or with built-in vst, it also has a huge sound library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

I have had sudden crashes, and sometimes I have to reconfigure the outputs of midi instruments because they disconnect when the software is closed or the computer is restarted. I don't like that setup with most midi controllers has to be done manually and that takes time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cubase?

I like the amount of third-party effects that can be included via vst plug-ins. I like how the interface has improved and all functions have been stabilized, the work to produce MIDI music is the best I have been able to try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

I don't like that latency is handled manually; In other software dedicated to the same, latency is managed automatically. I don't like having to configure my midi controller manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Cubase?

Stems export options (trust me, it's a GAME CHANGER). Midi functions ,Chord Track, Logical Editor, Track visibility options. Mixer views. Customizable midi lanes on the piano roll. Freeze instruments options. The new supervision plugin is AWESOME. Accurate LUFS metering, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cubase?

Price of the updates. Dongle needed (but they are going to fix it). The .0 versions of every update are usually buggy. It would be great to have a good stock limiter (the current one is really bad). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
