Using the setup window, you can create your own presets too, to quickly automate processes that would otherwise take a lot of time.The Key Commands window showing a user assignment of the 'Add Track' Audio Command. These might sound dry but they’re fantastic timesavers that save you endless searching and clicking in a project. So you can for example do things like batch delete muted parts, delete all automation beyond the cursor, trim all selected automation by a set number of points and far, far more. It’s a way of performing specific actions on targeted types of data or time ranges within a project, and it now has expanded capabilities and a bunch of new handy presets. The Logical Editor has always been one of Cubase’s most powerful but sometimes least understood tools. Volume automation now has near-sample accuracy for extremely precise levels of control, and audio waveforms are smoother and more detailed for more precise editing.

With the new AudioWarp Free Warp tool you can now make timing corrections across multiple tracks directly in the project window, which is a much quicker way to edit multitracked drums, for example. The VariAudio system for analyzing and editing sound has been extended, with a new Scale Assistant that lets you quickly alter scale inside audio files for faster and easier correction, as easily as you can with MIDI. This is invaluable for learning-can’t work out what a chord is in your favorite track? Now Cubase can show you, and even has a list of guesses for each chord with live preview so you can tweak it if necessary.

Enhancements to the Chord track now mean that you can drag and drop audio and Cubase will analyze it and provide you with a visual representation of the chords that are being used, even with a fully mixed track. There’s also been a lot of work done in the area of auto-analysis of your content. The new system saves a lot of time fiddling with assignments, and is very welcome.

Instrument and effect plug-in windows also have a new row of pre-assigned quick controls at the top, which are auto-mapped to key parameters. MIDI control of your sessions is a big deal! Cubase 12 now supports automatic detection of a range of popular MIDI controller keyboards and devices with a new controller system that also lets you customize control setups and build your own from scratch if your device is not natively supported. This is far smoother and brings Cubase into line with practically every other major application. You can authorize three computers per account, which means your desktop and a couple of laptops can be used on the same license. Happily that’s now-partly-a thing of the past, with a new soft licensing system that requires only that you sign in to your Steinberg account to authorize Cubase on your machine. Let’s face it, the dongle is an anachronism in 2022 and it has long been inconvenient to have to use one to authorize and run Cubase.

So Cubase’s future on the Mac platform looks rosy, and it will still be supported on Intel Macs for many years to come.

The release of the Mac Studio computers takes performance to new heights and we’re promised a new Mac Pro as well, whose performance will likely be off the charts.

The power of Apple’s new chips is well documented and they’re also supremely power-efficient which means not only better performance but more staying power when you’re using Cubase on a laptop. Like the transition from PowerPC to Intel many years ago, the application itself doesn’t look any different whether you run it on an Intel or an Apple Silicon-powered Mac, but the work required to bring native compatibility is significant. The recently released new version of Dorico was Steinberg’s first major application to fully support Apple’s M-series of processors, and now Cubase is fully native too. The core features are across all new versions though some are reserved for the more comprehensive Artist and Pro versions. Steinberg has updated all editions of Cubase to version 12 and as well as a bunch of new features and workflow enhancements, there have been a lot of changes under the hood that may not be immediately apparent but cement this venerable DAW’s place at the pinnacle of music production technology. Could this be the greatest version of Cubase ever?
