When using a second monitor for the mixer, Cubase’s interface finally feels like it fits without multiple windows competing for screen space.

A new docked panel on the right of the screen can show either the active virtual instruments or the MediaBay asset manager.

A Render In Place command makes it much easier to transfer projects to other software or people, with a choice of including the raw recordings, with insert effects in place or with all mixer settings. The other new features seem inconsequential in comparison, but we’ll have them all the same. ^ The docked panel for VST instruments means Cubase fits more neatly onto screens This improved resilience means less time is spent troubleshooting, leaving more time to get on with making music.

We’d expect to experience this when upgrading to a brand new PC – upgrading to Cubase 8 is a good deal cheaper. Projects with lots of plug-ins that suffered from frequent glitches in version 7.5 played back smoothly in version 8, and we were able to add lots more plug-ins before glitches reappeared. In the past this has forced us to spend lots of time carefully managing resources, bouncing down processor-intensive tracks and sometimes the entire project in order to ensure glitch-free recording of additional tracks.Ĭubase 8 is not only more efficient but also more resilient to the occasional glitch, where a burst of activity from a virtual instrument might cause a spike in processing demands. It’s a big nuisance when the computer’s hardware resources are exceeded and glitches appear during playback, but it’s a much bigger problem when they appear while recording. Recording software typically uses dozens or even hundreds of effects modules, virtual instruments and mixer channels in real time. Steinberg claims to have completely rebuilt the engine to make it faster and more fluid, and this has big ramifications. Cubase Artist is the mid-price edition of Steinberg’s professional music-production software, sitting between Cubase Elements and the flagship version, now known as Cubase Pro, which has also moved on to version 8.
