The behavior of said company in the business of 2025, still living off the glorious rents of the past...

By the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask (any expert who might happen to stumble across this corner of the internet): Which version of Cubase is best suited for OSX Sequoia?

Thanks in advance.

 

What do you mean? check google trends. Cubase number same as PT

 

People have to wake up and stop believing what they are told on Social Media, especially TikTok of all places.

 

Steinberg lost their value a while back when they decided to go for bedroom producers. Their price and upgrade policies are beyond sh*t!

 

If you did a little more research on Steinberg, instead of believing everything someone writes on the internet, you wouldn't write something like that. Cubase has always been groundbreaking; anything Cubase introduces, other DAWs adopt two to three months later. You pay the full price for the Pro version of Cubase once, and then you get every major update for €99/$99. That's reasonable for what you get. Their other products are also reasonably priced (and high-quality); Native Instruments, for example, charges considerably more.

 

cubase is cumbersome to use and looks awful. at least pro-tools has a logical flow to it. but steinberg also makes dorico, which i love.

 

Thx!

 

As a professional, I've worked with most DAWs in my studio and my production company (Pro24, then Cubase/Ableton Live/Notator, then Logic/FL Studio/DP/PT). Pro Tools is by far my least favorite; its architecture is so outdated and unintuitive. If I had to give up Cubase (which I bought in 1989), I'd choose Ableton Live or FL Studio, even though I think you can do excellent work with any of them.

 

Are you on their salary list?

Other DAWs are quite cheaper and offer a way more!
Btw. the stem splitting feature in Cubase came later than in other DAWs.

 

I put 3 "generalist" DAWs on equal foot: Logic, Cubase, Studio One

If i needed to drop Cubase (Windows), it would be for Studio One.
On Mac, it would be probably Logic, until i need cross platform.

 

Unlike all the others, Cubase is a Swiss knife.
In a single project, you can write an orchestral score, edit audio, pitch correct vocals and align them to notes and rhythm, and mix everything together, and make music/sound for Video. and ofc Dolby & OMF...
And you can do all this without having to use third-party software.

A program with such extensive functionality cannot be perfect.

Cubase had Spectralayers integrated into it long time ago with ARA support.

 

There must be have been reason to go for native stem splitting.
