The new Mediabay window, placed alongside the VST Instrument window on the right, is a great new feature, allowing us to browse, add or replace elements in the arrangement with just one click. Not so bad additions are the so-called edge selectors, selecting a drop down menu with the option to show or hide additional editors and views that are available on that side of the window. I missed that feature in previous versions of Cubase. With those two, life become quite a bit easier. Click on a note, hold the mouse button and drag mouse up and down and velocity will follow for that note. The next big thing is the ability to add notes without changing to the pencil mode.

Truth be told, I can’t remember the last time I recorded a guitar line in one take for a whole song. There are no more Dance oriented and Rock oriented DAWs in the new era.

Simply press at the hot spot and drag left or right and the event will be duplicated – as it can be in many others DAWs.

It was a bit funny in a past, hunting the cursor around whenever I had to change the tempo, trying to find the best one for that song.Īn addition, worth all the upgrade money, is a duplicate hot spot at the side of any event or loop. Nice one, Steinberg.Īfter many years the cursor is finally locked to position when you are changing tempo in the transport bar. So now, no matter what you’ll do in the arranger window, you will always know where you are. This one will add additional space at the bottom where you can drag any track that you want to have always on top, like the Marker track for example. In the upper right corner we can find an option called Divide Track List. I’m not a perfect instrumentalist, so this is the perfect solution for me. Something that I’ve been waiting for for a long time is new punch in, punch out locators independent from the left and right locators, allowing you to re-record just one specific part of a whole phrase that is set in a loop. Not something you will need everyday, but trust me, when you do, you will be thankful for this one. Select the tracks you want and they will be imported. The next cool feature is the ability to import tracks from other Cubase projects without opening those projects. In the past I spent way too much time routing everything around and dragging group tracks toward the tracks they are grouped to. It looks like a small improvement, but in a working process it means a lot.

Enough Thoughts, Let’s Go Into The DetailsĪ new track can be routed to any output, also a group track can finally be placed under the group of tracks. For me, every spared minute in Cubase means one minute more with my family. So, no matter if you are a novice or a pro, some of the new solutions will help you reach your goal easier and faster. Why have they decided to charge for this half version? Not so sure, but I presume the main reason could be the arrival of some functions that really make a difference, those things that have been on users’ wish lists for a long, long time, making it more user-friendly and improving the work-flow. Cubase 8.5 brings a whole host of user friendly solutions that can drastically improve our workflow, making it an ideal DAW for any musical genre – from dance to ambient to metal.įor a more than reasonable fee, $49 USD to be precise, we get a nice number of improvements with this new version of Cubase.
