Cubase 9 pro review update#
Probably the biggest under the hood update in 9.5 is Cubase now has a 64-Bit Floating Point sound engine. The biggest issues I used to have with the metronome on Cubase in the past was getting it to be louder and getting rid of the accent on the first beat, with this update I don’t run into that issue anymore. They have a bunch of different options like the classic Cubase click sound or a woodblock but if none of those are to your liking, you can actually import your own sound to use as a click track tone. In 9.5, Steinberg has overhauled the metronome giving people a lot more control over the click track, which is a welcome change! Now you can easily change the volume if you want an accent or no accent, and even what sounds you want to use for the click track. I found it really handy when trying to smooth out the transition from parts that I had drastic automation on. BUT that’s not the only cool thing they did with automation in 9.5, as they also now let you make automation with curves, which I don’t think I have seen before in another DAW. Much faster than what I was doing before, which was literally drawing out each point in for each section. All you have to do from there is move the bar up or down depending on what I want to do with that particular section. The second you click and drag using any of these 3, the automation points are automatically made for you. Clicking the middle lets you scale vertically up or down, the left and right scale with a tilt for fading in or out. One in the top left the corner, in the middle and the top right corner. From there, 3 points show up at the top of the selection.
How I go about making automation points now in Cubase is so easy, I just open the automation bar and select and use the range tool the part I want to automate. Well, they made it a lot better in this update! It’s now much easier to make quick automation points and to adjust them the way you want. Automation was never bad in Cubase, but it was one of the few things that I saw in Pro Tools made me wish was better in Cubase. As I said, it’s just a minor annoyance and isn’t a big deal but it would be nice if they can figure something out about that.Īnother favorite new feature they have added in 9.5 is much better automation editing. I can understand why they ended up doing this since the only way to show the lower zones options is on the right where the tracks usually are. If say, for example, you have a vocal track opened on the lower zone and you click away on something in the main edit window, all the options for that track disappear until click anywhere on the lower zone again. There is only 1 minor annoyance I have come across using the lower zone that I hope Steinberg and figure out a solution too. So you can do pitch correction on vocals while still having an eye on the rest of the tracks. For example, if you double-click on a vocal track, it will bring up the waveform and processing options such as pitch correction in the lower zone.
Cubase 9 pro review windows#
Workflow is just much more streamlined this way as there are no windows ever popping up in your face that you are resizing and moving around. Things that used to open in separate windows in Cubase now open as a lower zone in 9.5. I use the zoning in a bunch of different ways (mostly to bring up my Virtual Instrument rack to the right and to bring in the mixer window on the bottom). But, it’s actually pretty useful and it’s one of those things that you didn’t know you wanted until you actually used it type-of-things. I have been a long time Cubase user, so zoning was not really something I had much experience with and I honestly thought I would never use it when I saw that it was a new feature in 9.5. Cubase 9.5 has added the ability to have zoning kind of similar in the way you might see in Logic Pro X or Studio One. First, let’s start off with what is easily my favorite new feature, zoning. Cubase 9.5 adds a bunch of awesome and requested new features.
