While it takes only a short moment of your time, it is of very great help for us!
Thanks,

I am giving you 5 stars now and then 5 stars as soon as the update is there.
Cubasis and Steinberg are great.
Do you know, that Cubasis is just missing graphical Mixing / Mastering tools?
However good your plugins are, people want graphic versions!
Live view.
Like with Fabfilter in Auria Pro.
No way?
You are the most demanding person I have ever encountered! Are you a waiter in real life? Or a butler?
(Not that I disagree with your requests.....)
Anyone had any issues with dubstation 2 only working sometimes, ex running a 1bar loop, dubstation only works every other pass
Many thanks to all for the prompt update! :-)
I'll check update as soon as the Appstore decides to bring be the correct update.
It's currently pushing out 2.4 as the 'update', guess it takes some time for the Apple servers to get in sync or something?!
Got the update now, Freeze works perfectly, super thanks for the update, 5-stars for sure to keep the average up...
As mentioned it other posts. It's time to get more graphical feedback in the plug-ins.
A spectrum analyser for EQ's for starters would be nice.
I'm guessing the long awaited grid-line options (triplets etc) will make it to 2.5 or something.
And I hope the Mini-Sampler gets some love too.(Maybe even a companion inspired by Cubase sampler-track?).
It's unable to play/loop very short samples like the single cycle waves found at adventurekid.se
5 stars.
Just left my Five Star review!
Thanks for the awesome update!
What’s involved in making Cubasis work on the iPhone 8 Plus?
(Never mind the other iPhones, I don’t own those, so …).
Will it ever be possible to have tempo and time signature changes?
Agree with all above (5 stars included) but please...., where are the subfolders?
Yay! Freeze and mixdown issues totally fixed. Great job! Can't wait to get back into Cubasis for my next project.
@Ivan_Dj can’t you create subfolders in the files app that cubasis is integrated with?
You can. But viewing from Cubasis ignores the folder structure and gives one list with everything showing.
@CracklePot ok thanks. I can understand why they chose not to visualize subfolders. It (the current gui) would quickly become messy if users were aloud to create unlimited subfolders.
You complain about me, despite the fact that you agree what what I request?
So, you are disturbed by the fact that someone actually wrote what he thinks?
That's... interesting
Maybe you should think about this.
I just try to communicate my thoughts and wishes, as much as my energy allows.
Not the worst thing in a world where many tend to accept whatever happens and will be done to them.
Best wishes
Yes, sad thing.
Hoping for the next update
If it a total bummer for your workflow, the Files app makes it super easy to quickly move just the project you are working on into the Cubasis file area to only see that project’s files. You can keep your overall project stash separate from the Cubasis file area to keep the Cubasis viewer somewhat clean.
I don’t get it, so when you create a new project how do you save it?
The same way you normally do. It is just to keep all irrelevant files hidden away, but organized in a different parent folder in Files. You would only have the current project and its files in the Cubasis file area while working on it, so saves and everything would work as normal.
When you want to switch projects, you can remove the existing project folders and move the new one into Cubasis file area.
+1
I think that optimizing cpu loads and going bare bones in internal features would be one way to go. I suspect that there will be a lot of AUv3's in the near future and having a host that can stack these without getting glitchy is a key target market. I would like to avoid having to bounce things to audio so that I can do a lot of parameter drifts when my track is done. I love the fact that I can freeze tracks and then unfreeze them. It is hard to know what DAWs are good at what until you start using them. I like to have synth drums rather than samples, so Cubasis' freezing is awesome for doing this. BM3 -- bit of a pain keeping the CPU in check.
I have always liked buying all the little tricked out parts for things so that I have a unique setup, rather than buying a package. I didn't bother with any IAP's in Cubasis because I have my own synths, drums, effects, etc. But I would like to see onboard spectrum analysis.
It would also be nice to have a clip interface for people who like the workflow of building up a bunch of loops and then laying them out horizontally. When I want to do something complex, I naturally turn to Cubasis because I find the routing much more intuitive to work with than BM3. But BM3's side chain compression is really nice -- not so much for a pumping effect, but just to have the kick sit right with the bass.
Also need to keep improving file management. There are a lot of sample monkeys around here and they would go bananas for an ever improving file system.
I find the DAW graphics very nice but I feel like the effects should get a minimal lift. Reaktor Blocks is a good example of how to present graphics that are a middle ground between retro plugins and Audio Damage/Bram Bos effect graphics. That being said, the simplicity of BM3's Ableton like minimal layout is refreshing.
Big thanks to Steinberg and Lars -- we need a few good DAWs for some healthy competition. Awesome tech support over there. Congratulations on the new update, probably a lot of work!
Cubasis keeps improving bit by bit. It's already lived up to what I bought it for, and I still consider it a great bargain. I could list some things I'd like to see added, but I'm sure they've been requested many times before. Thanks for the work you do.
A built in midi matrix sort of like AUM would really rock!
Also please more insert effect slots, I can live with out the sub routing at least if we had more insert effect slots like AUM.
Thank you for this. Sounds very good.
nice update! Since we are in ‘gimme’ mode...
-More FX slots w / order changing.
-Linear interpolation option for time stretching (‘tape style’ that just changes playback speed without smoothing or maintaining pitch)
-time stretching of midi objects (the button is right there, taunting me!)
It may seem small - but a scale constrained keyboard would be so great too. (Oh And option to only show notes in a selected key in piano roll)
Order changing would be good. More slots would be good too.
Dear @LFS and crew, first let me state that after years of various DAW experiments, I had settled on Auria pro, with all it’s wonderful plugins and effects. But honestly after reconsidering and messing around a little bit with Cubasis with all of its great features and newish Waves Plugins and your super fantastic Presets, I now have decided that for me to get as much great sounding music made as possible, your mighty Cubasis 2.41 is #1 because of the combination of ease of use, wonderful interface, and stupendous sounds from MiniLog, the samples and loops, and the absolutely wonderful Microloge Synth!
I’m going to put Auria to bed and go with Cubasis, it really sounds great.
Your DAW really can’t be beaten, it is the Cadillac on iOS because it is so smooth! Thanks.
The Cubasis freeze feature is back, yea! It really is so cool to be able to do this especially with all these high powered synths. I love all iOS DAWs but Cubasis is for me the most stable.
Oh my this App just gets better and Mo better. Thanks for the update.
