What Cubase 15 Is For
Cubase 15 is designed for complete music production: songwriting, beatmaking, multi-track recording, advanced editing, sound design, post-production, and mixing up to Dolby Atmos. Whether working in a studio or home studio, it offers exemplary stability, a precise audio engine, and fast arrangement tools to deliver professional tracks from demo to master.
Main Features
Accelerated Writing and Arrangement
The redesigned Expression Maps streamline articulation playing and integrate with the Key/Score Editors. The Melodic Pattern Sequencer generates inspiring melodic patterns with scales, step input, shapes, and randomizer, while enhanced Chord Pads facilitate harmonious progressions.
AI-Assisted Audio and Sampling
AI stem separation opens up remixing, element extraction, and rebalancing. The PitchShifter transposes in real time by +/-24 semitones with formant preservation, saturation, and independent stereo control.
Mixing, Dynamics, and Modulation
UltraShaper centralizes transient shaping, limiting/clipping, and sculpting EQ with gain compensation. Six new modulators add movement and expressiveness. Track Controls, "last touched" automation, and a refined Quick Export speed up finalization.
Ergonomics and Content
A new Hub simplifies access to projects and content. Plug-ins are resizable, macOS pinch-to-zoom is supported, the Score Editor has improved, and the Sampler Track gains Hot Swap. Groove Agent SE 6, Writing Room Synths, 40 drum kits, and "Songstarter" packs fuel creativity. Extended DAWproject compatibility facilitates inter-DAW exchange.
