Cubase Studio 5 – Music Production System

Boasting a wealth of new capabilities unmatched in its price range, such as VST Expression and up-to-the-minute VST3 instruments and effects, like the new Groove Agent ONE drum machine and Beat Designer step sequencer as well as the new PitchCorrect intonation effect, Cubase Studio 5 offers unsurpassed performance in its price class.

New Features in Cubase Studio 5

Cubase Studio 5 adds more creative possibilities and new technologies to one of the most popular music production software suites out there — providing the finest tools to artists in any musical genre. With PitchCorrect, Cubase Studio 5 provides an automatic intonation control and scale correction of vocal and monophonic recordings, whereas Groove Agent ONE and Beat Designer change the game for beat creation. VST Expression tools for composers combine with improved automation for more dynamic mixes. And an array of additional enhancements and 64-bit technologies boost performance — all designed to inspire further musical creativity and productivity.

Beat Creation

Cubase Studio 5 features outstanding new tools for creating beats, generating exciting new rhythms and working with loops.

Drum sampling deluxe

Groove Agent ONE pairs powerful drum sampling with detailed sound shaping — seamlessly integrated into Cubase. Not only does it boast sliced loop and MPC-import but rocks right out of the box with its own custom library of only the finest acoustic, urban, hip hop and dance drum kits! Each of its virtual pads features a complete sound processing section that gives full control of textures, timbres and expressive qualities of each drum sound. Creation of custom kits with drag and drop from the MediaBay allows an extremely fluid and easy workflow.

  • Support for WAV, AIFF and the legendary MPC format
  • Easy to use interface — the perfect fusion of functionality and simplicity
  • Powerful editing section for each drum sound
  • Automatically maps sliced Cubase audio parts or multiple audio events across the pads by simply dragging them directly to Groove Agent ONE
  • Convert sliced audio loops to MIDI by dragging them back to a MIDI track

Beat it!

Beat Designer is a hot new beat construction plug-in that allows you to get hands-on with beats for step programming and designing drum patterns in an easy yet powerful way, working hand in hand with Groove Agent ONE. Getting really interactive with different grooves and variations has never been easier: Beat Designer organizes several patterns at once in customizable banks and can trigger each of them in real time and synced to Cubase with a MIDI keyboard.

  • Supports up to 64 steps per pattern
  • Customizable resolution and time signature
  • Support for flam hits and rolls
  • Individual volume settings for each element in a beat allowing full control of the dynamics of any groove
  • Comes with dozens of beats in various styles perfectly matching the Groove Agent ONE kits

New Dimensions for Your Mix

Cubase Studio 5 has numerous new features that will help you bring new depth to your mix — in more ways than one.

On-the-fly pitch correction

Designed for vocal and solo instrument recordings, the new PitchCorrect VST3 plug-in brings easy and automatic intonation control and scale correction of vocal and monophonic instrument recordings to Cubase. PitchCorrect is based on the acclaimed Yamaha Pitch Fix technology and constantly detects the pitch of the input material and immediately corrects it to match to the closest pitch of a user-specified scale, including minor, major, chromatic and custom scales.

  • Corrects poor intonation without noticeable artifacts and preserves the sonic audio quality of the original performance
  • Various parameters, like the Retune and Tolerance control, help adapting the retune rate to almost any performance style for very natural-sounding pitch correction
  • Control the pitch of individual notes interactively from a MIDI keyboard in real time

New automation handling

The new automation handling in Cubase Studio 5 is now more transparent and flexible than ever before, the centerpiece being the new automation panel, which offers a unified point of control for all automation settings. With the fifth version of Cubase Studio, users can now take full advantage of all automation modes that were only available in Cubase, such as the Auto-Latch, Cross-Over and Trim modes.

Once a Key Command has been assigned, the new panel is at your instant command, offering new commands to manipulate automation data. The new Suspend Read and Write options exclude parameters from playing back or recording automation data, adding extra security when automating large projects.

Rule-based consolidation

Automating the MIDI area of productions has also been made far more transparent. Rule-based consolidation of part-based MIDI controller data and track-based automation data routed to the same target eliminates conflicts and fuses the two systems together.

Now it’s easy to use both MIDI Continuous Controller and MIDI automation (track) data on the same target and handle layered controller/automation data in a consistent way. This best-of-both-worlds approach really comes to life with the brand-new ability to view and edit MIDI track automation side by side and inline with existing MIDI controller data in the Key Editor or the Project Window.

Further Improvements and Added Value

Cubase Studio 5 comes with redesigned and enhanced features plus many new handy tools and functions, making Cubase even more intuitive to use than ever before.

Monitor the data pipe

MIDI Monitor is a new MIDI plug-in featured in Cubase Studio 5. It analyses incoming MIDI events as well as playing back MIDI events from the host in real time — ideal tool for troubleshooting, especially with its comments on suspicious events. The available event-type filters allow easy MIDI data display and results, which then can be exported to file.

Refresh for MIDI plug-ins, Logical Editor and Input Transformer

All MIDI plug-ins in Cubase Studio 5 have a fully redesigned user interface. However, this is much more than just a cosmetic makeover. These powerful MIDI processors are now more accessible and more intuitive to use than ever before, and several plug-ins offer feature detail improvements, like the Chorder plug-in with its new Learn function.

As for the Logical Editor and Input Transformer, Steinberg has spent time and effort in focusing on the aesthetics, providing both Editor and Transformer new and more intuitive graphical user interfaces.

Sort VST plug-ins menu by vendor

All available VST plug-ins can now be sorted by vendor and category (if enabled), offering an additional search parameter for even easier plug-in browsing.

Backup improvements

Backing up projects has become even easier in Cubase Studio 5. The backup function holds new options, such as keeping current projects active, an improved “Save Project to New Folder” as well as being able to back up video files to the user’s computer.

Made for people around the world

Cubase is the world’s most popular computer-based DAW, and with this special update, Steinberg’s music production system becomes even more international. With full support for Unicode, Cubase Studio  5 supports entering text in almost any language throughout the application, including Japanese, French, Greek, Russian, Hebrew and many more — a world-class application!

Show the world your talent

The Cubase Studio 5 package includes a trial version of REBEAT, a music distribution software by Rebeat Digital, which aids in promoting your creativity to a worldwide audience. Imagine placing your music directly in every leading online music store across the globe — that’s REBEAT. 

REBEAT spreads your music to over 300 online shops such as iTunes, Vodafone, o2, Napster, Musicload and takes care of all administrative duties regarding the sale of your music, letting you focus on your creativity. The included trial version allows the release of up to two albums with a total of 10 songs and can be upgraded in the Steinberg Online Shop with the purchase of an unlock key to the unlimited retail version.
