What is Cubase (Steinberg)?
Cubase is a digital audio workstation made by Steinberg, a Yamaha-owned company based in Hamburg, Germany. It is sold in three editions: Elements for beginners, Artist for most producers, and Pro for professionals who need the full toolset, including VariAudio pitch editing, Control Room monitoring, native Dolby Atmos music production, and advanced scoring and notation. Cubase runs on Windows and macOS and supports VST, VST3, and VST instrument plugins.
Steinberg offers a free 30 to 60 day trial with full functionality before purchase, and buyers who start with a lower edition can upgrade later by paying only the price difference. Cubase is aimed at composers, producers, mixing engineers, and post-production and game audio studios that need a deep, established feature set backed by decades of development.
