Cubasis 3 - DAW & Music Studio for Negative User Reviews
✓ Alright so...Alright so, Ive read every review before buying and pretty much knew what i was getting into when purchasing. Coming from Cubasis 2, it seems like the same app but it’s not. I understand this which is why i have no problem paying. The problem is the fact that you guys released this app without fully testing it out. Apple Pencil support is there but it doesn’t FULLY work. Most of the things in the program work for me so it’s fine and i enjoy the new features (I literally bought it for the mixer lol). I will wait for an update so that way the Apple Pencil works. It’s a new program yes but it doesn’t feel new at all. That’s why people are asking for a discount. If you guys would just fix what should be fixed then this could easily be the best DAW but I think you guys are more focused on money vs your customers being happy. Happy customers = more money..Version: 1.0
✓ Sooo many glitchesMoved to Cubasis 3 about a year ago and I’ve been experiencing sooooo many glitches. Most notably it crashes really often, or won’t play, and the only way to resolve it is to switch the iPad on and off. I was using Cubasis 1 and 2 for live shows for 8 years no problems, really stable. Can’t use Cubasis 3 for live work as it’s so unpredictable. Real shame as I love the programme generally, but the amount of problems I’ve had with it is ridiculous. ..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Completely unusable - zero starsAfter couple of recording sessions the app makes screeching sounds when I press record, like dialup modems almost… Update: changing project fixed the issue - but note that closing the app had no effect until I changed project. It’s unfortunate that I had to jump through hoops to get things functional. I appreciate that the devs responded. For the moment, I am giving up on recording as having defective tools is a real downer especially after spending money..Version: 3.4
✓ Great workflow but no support for Tempo or Meter changesI love the workflow of Cubasis 3, but there is no support for either tempo or meter (time signature) changes, which for me prevents using it for serious music production. I bought Cubasis 3 when it was first released and I’ve been waiting patiently for Steinberg to add support for tempo changes (tempo track support), meter changes (such as from 4/4 to 3/4 ) or support alternate time signatures (like 6/8). However, the stock answer from Steinberg has been the same for years, with no indication whether it will be months or years before support for these features is added: “Tempo / Signature track support remains on our list, but the feature is unlikely to be added short- or mid-term”. This is such basic functionality for music recording, I can’t believe we’re still waiting for this - very disappointed. I love Cubasis 3 - it’s touch interface is very elegant - but I may be forced to abandon it. My review would be 5 stars if Cubasis included these basic DAW features. Other iOS DAW competitors have these features but the workflow is not as smooth or intuitive. Such a shame..Version: 3.3.3
✓ So many bugsI’ve been using Cubasis on the ipad for years. Cubasis 1 and 2 were great apps that worked really well and were stable. Cubasis 3 is a mess. Its a huge step backwards. Nothing works properly, it constantly crashes, its fiddly and difficult to use. It doesn’t play well with other apps. I could go on and on. What happened Steinberg - why is this such a turkey?.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Constant crashing and freezingMan, this would get 5 stars if it worked properly for more than a few minutes at a time, and btw I am running version 3.2.1 with a brand new iPad Air 4th gen (256 GB). It even just crashed on me while I was scrolling through the freakin ‘Help’ literature, and it was the only app I had open, ridiculous. Another issue I’m experiencing is when going through my projects eventually I’ll open one and things will just freeze, won’t be able to play back that project or get out of it and choose another. Things have seemed to get worse over time. Bought it a couple months ago and was putting some good hours into and I did notice these issues happening eventually, but not like when it was super new, maybe that’s why I haven’t even played with it until tonight and wow it’s bad, Guess I’ll go learn garage band. This app would be awesome if it worked, regret the purchase..Version: 3.2.1
✓ I want to like it…Actually, I want to love it, but I can’t. They finally get a UI that’s almost perfect, and then they throw in these god awful gradients that look like they’re from 2006, and these waveforms that look ripped out of Audacity 1.0. The rest of the UI is this really lovely, flat UI. Clean, spacing is decent, and then BOOM, 2006 slaps you in the face with these terrible gradients and old wave forms. Why not let us make those flat, and update the waveform when we’re zoomed out to look like SoundCloud or any other audio app that produces modern looking waveforms. Then when we zoom in, we can have the ugly, but more accurate looking waveform? Give us some options at least. FL Studio’s mobile tracks are beautiful. But so far, they’re the only ones who’ve got it right. I hope that these fellas get around to making the tracks match the rest of the UI instead of mixing 2020 flat design with 2006 web 2.0..Version: 3.3.3
✓ MAJOR GLITCH...UNACCEPTABLE...FARICKIN FIX IT!!!Guys... Had it not been for me having Cubasis TWO still, I would have not been able to confirm the fact that Cubasis THREE puts tracks OFF SYNC after they have been mixed down. This has driven me crazy for a month. I searched every parameter within 3, performed mix down after mixdown, and every time, at least one track is NOT in sync after having hit the mixdown button and then reviewed in auto play. I finally went back to Cubasis TWO and redid the very same files, mixed down, and NO PROBLEM.... I appreciate the improvements you’ve made with 3, but DAYAM... Do you have any idea how much time I have wasted?? And it would be nice if I could find a person to actually REPORT this to. This was unacceptable. Do you have any idea just how many apps, plugins, and other crap I have purchased through the years? SOMEBODY....PLEASE get in touch with me about this. I’m even willing to accept that maybe I’m overlooking something. But after putting it all back into Cubasis TWO with no problem, I’ll be waiting........Version: 3.1.3
✓ Too many issues.I’ve had Cubasis 2 for years, used on various iPads, with hardly any issues. I recently purchased Cubasis 3 while the sale was on, and so glad I didn’t pay full price. I have also updated it to latest Cubasis 3.4. Cubasis 3 has so many issues. I use iPad 11 pro and iPhone 13 pro max. Haven’t used it on the iPhone yet, but on iPad it constantly crashes during recordings. And now it has started playing back recordings at really slow distorted speeds! Really frustrating. Tried so many obvious solutions, restarts, iPad restart etc etc. Sometimes it plays back normal speed then other times it switches back to slow distorted speeds. I’ve never played around with speed settings, tempo etc, just left everything as default. I use Audiobus 3 to set up Cubabsis with recordings. Always starts of great, then once you get going adding more instruments or sounds, it either stops dead or crashes off screen. Think I’ll go back to using Cubasis 2 until Steinberg can sort these bugs out. I’ve read through various forums that there are a lot of issues with Cubasis 3. Seems a lot more work needed to go into this before it’s released. There are constant complaints of Cubasis 3 crashing in different scenarios. Steinberg should not be releasing it without fully testing. Tried everything you suggested and checked on forums. These crashes are constant. I’m giving up on Cubasis 3 and applying for a refund. Wasting too much time trying to resolve different types of crashes..Version: 3.4
✓ Time changesThere are other issues that need to be addressed but for a simple iPad daw, the only thing that would stop me from having to change to another daw is the ability to change time during the song. Should be a simple addition to the program yet I’m having to write all my music in 4/4… seriously what a joke, everything else I am enjoying and haven’t had a problem with..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Does not perform well at allI use this on the iPad Pro 4th gen and it was okay for months and months (with crashing here and there) and all of a sudden (starting April 2021), it doesn’t even record my immediate vocals. It will reset to the last vocals taken or a different previous vocal recorded on the same track. It is super frustrating and also will change the track back to an old recording when you click normalize. It will also stop normalizing my tracks and I have to constantly exit, close, and reopen the application for anything to work. It took me 5 hours to record a small voiceover tape when it usually takes me 20 minutes. This system has some horrible bugs and isn’t even worth using unless they fix this up. Time is money and Cubasis 3 does not help you achieve a quick session whatsoever... There are other apps that will definitely work better. I gave two stars because when it does work, it’s good. But that’s too rare to give it a better rating..Version: 3.3
✓ Fix the constant crashes!Unusable in current state. Bugs, crashes, freezes.... very frustrating..Version: 3.1.3
✓ The best iPad DAWI came from Logic and feel right at home. Actually, it would be hard to go back to Logic (if it ever came to iPad) because I love Cubasis 3! Edit: Had to update my 5 star review to a 3 star review. I’ve put 100+ hours into this app, and I continue to use it everyday. There are too many short-comings. I thought all of my audiokit apps were buggy because of the constantly crackling sounds i get out of Cubasis 3, even after trying each of the latency/buffering settings for extended periods of time. The crackling does not happen in beatmaker 3. Cubasis 3 is great if you don’t load any 3rd party auv3’s, but the second you do, some midi wont trigger, the audio will take a massive hit, constantly crashes. CONSTANTLY crashes. Loading a project with more than 7 instances? Crash. It does a good job on saving where you were, can’t fault them there. If this app didn’t make out to be the best daw on iOS, it would be 5/5 app. Since I’m trying to make this my one-stop shop for producing, I need to bring my review down. Would love to move it back to 5 stars. I am running a 2020 iPad Pro (12.9) on the latest firmware. I couldn’t have a stronger iPad, I can’t imagine what this program would be like on a lesser-iPad..Version: 3.2.1
✓ CrashesI was in the middle of a session. And my iPad ran out of storage space. I went and made room, deleted old projects. But Cubasis still shows the same amount of storage space used on my iPad as if I never deleted anything. When I try to open the app up again, it immediately crashes. I even tried rebooting my iPad and Cubasis still crashes..Version: 3.1.3
✓ MIDI controller support very basicGlad I didn’t pay full price for this. Cubasis supports midi controllers for note input, but nothing else. There is no way to play, stop, record, rewind, fast forward etc. from a midi controller. Forget about mixing with faders on a controller. This was requested on their forums, and people were told it was on the to do list SIX YEARS AGO. Do not buy if you want to map a midi controller..Version: 3.1.3
✓ 5 Star potential with a lot of 1 star issuesFirst off, this DAW is very likely to take over as my main workhorse..... eventually. I really do love it and enjoy using it. The workflow feels good, a very inspiring GUI, decent enough built in instruments but nothing spectacular, but hey, that’s what AUV3 is for. With that said, this needed wayyyyy better testing before being released. It’s Beta quality at best. Before you buy make sure to check out the Steinberg forums for the known issues, and maybe wait for this long anticipated 3.0.1 update that is taking entirely too long. There’s no pencil support, copy/pasted midi events don’t play, a whole laundry list of little issues I won’t go in to, but they’re all there on the forum so check it out before spending the money. Aside from that, it has massive potential, and the devs have been good about communicating with the backlash with promises of this future update. If they do a good job correcting the issues this has a great chance of being a game changer. Don’t take my negativity towards the issues wrong way. This is/will be a S.O.L.I.D. DAW, it just simply isn’t a finished product yet, and they probably shouldn’t have rushed it out the door, but I understand the business model of hitting the holiday season when everyone is spending those Apple store gift cards. Hopefully that money goes into further development, and finishing what they started. If they do I will gladly be changing this to a 5 star review..Version: 1.0
✓ Is it just me ??Everyone writes stellar reviews for this app so i finally broke down and bought it. I’ve spent a lot of time with it and still can’t create anything that sounds like anything. I have all the DAWs for ios and can use them all to produce tracks, but i can’t wrap my head around Cubasis. Firstly it takes ages to load when i first bring up a project, it just remains frozen for minutes. The workflow seems cluttered, i can’t get the timing right with my instrumentals, they always end up jumbled and off time. In apps like Nanostudio i have no problems building tracks so it’s not as if i’m clueless. I know people love this app but i’ve deleted it from my devices, i can’t use it..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Was working...I love CB2 and I was very happy to see the next step for this DAW. Unfortunately a bunch of my AUs started to cut out, then stopped altogether. I get no sound at all and the playhead stutters and just hangs. I’m sure this will be fixed but as for now it’s unusable for me and a shame because other wise I’ve had no issues with it. I’ll be waiting for the update! ::edit:: so after this review and the dev response, that night the app worked fine. So excited! Next morning same issues started again. Works fine on my phone, everything is fine in C2. Im using a new iPad pro so i cant figure out any other ideas except to delete it and just keep checking it every now and then Sometimes you're the dog, and sometimes you're the hydrant..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Some Obvious OmissionsI can’t believe there still don’t seem to be any keyboard shortcuts or sidechaining EDIT: 6 months later there are now keyboard shortcuts and sidechaining. Which is excellent. That said, there are still no markers, no export to an interoperable format (like AAF) without the most expensive computer version of the app as an intermediary, and no upgrade pricing for previous users. It’s an improvement, but it’s still behind Auria on most of these features. And the cheaper Ferrite, if you want to do without the features Cubasis lacks.Version: 3.3
✓ If you’re a professional musician...steer away.Every update fixes one problem yet introduces another. And these are in or glitches that can be worked around but major glitches that completely shut down the workflow. When it wasnt complete crashes due to AUv3 compatibility, it was phantom clips moving all over the screen. And now the app just completely freezes all controls in the middle of editing. This has happened now in every project ive tried to work on recently. Every time i want to believe Cubasis is ready to go after a new update it disappoints me. Y’all have charged people way too much money in base price and add-ones to continuously have this many workflow-killing bugs. I keep coming back to it because ive already paid for it and I demand a better product that does what it is right now! Potential means nothing if its not even close to being realized. Smh As far as its potential its should be a 5 star app...but due to it’s bugs it barely gets 2 stars from me. Ive never been more disappointed with an app purchase than with Cubasis 3. Edit: If it isn’t one problem it’s another! Every update fixes one problem and then adds another. I invested my money with faith that this app would be better....it’s not. If you’re a professional musician, steer away..Version: 3.2.1
✓ I bought this... :(I bought this to use Voloco in side a daw. But it’s not working at all in app. So I tried it with audio bus and nope. So the main reason I bought the app for doesn’t work. WOW. Disappointed. Thought I was finally getting away from GarageBand but nope back to apple products that work. 🤦🏼 should have know better. Update: finally got Voloco to work in the app after messing with it for awhile. And when I load the app it automatically opens with it working when Loading the project it’s saved in. Added one star back so far. DSP: is this showing my effects processing ability? So with ONLY voloco open it’s at 40% that’s just one plugging. I’m on a the Xs max. So I see I will have to record all my vocals first then close Voloco then to mix’s and master. This is just me having to readjust to a new work flow and mapping it out in my brain. I’m use to mixing as I go. So it will take some getting use to but I’m up for that hopefully it will make my work flow faster and more effective. Hopefully Cubasis plug-ins take no DSP so I can get the most out of the DSP when using AUv3 plugins. I also have a IPad Pro but am trying to get the most out of my Xs max before jumping over to my IPad Pro which hopefully has more DSP power. Will let you know ASAP..Version: 1.0
✓ LlogicalCubasis 3 is only surpassed by Auria Pro when it comes to IOS DAW’s that should have been indispensable top quality apps, but ultimately fell short. Auria Pro due to sheer neglect, Cubasis 3 because Steinberg made poor decisions with regard to features, and shoddy coding. There is no point in listing failings that, by now, have not and will not be fixed. Someone actually designed these lacks of functionality then had the temerity to claim the app was worth a premium price. Such a pity, as the mixer section is a 9/10, and track duplication is a useful feature. But for many, the arrival of Logic Pro on iPad surely means Cubasis is fast tracked to redundancy, a great opportunity squandered. Because Steinberg regards IOS as a marketing excercise, not a market. This is why instead of trying to compete with Logic by making the app competitive, the big update for Cubasis was 4 sound modules, three of them requiring IAP. What a joke..Version: 3.6
✓ Please continue debug.Still some problems with audio cut out. Duplicate project does not copy all tracks or audio over to new version of the song. Needs more debugging. I’m using iPad 7th Gen running iOS 15.1.Version: 3.3.3
✓ Chord Pads do not work on connected midi keyboard?The one main thing I wanted Cubasis 3 to do was have the ability to play the Chord Pads from my connected midi keyboard to my IPad Pro. It does not seem to do this. You can only play the pads from the IPad touch screen whilst you are restricted to playing single notes or manually fingering a full chord on midi keyboard. This for me is a real pain. I believe you could do this in Cubasis 2, if so why downgrade it’s most useful feature? I hope this is going to be fixed in future update without Steinberg declaring another re-write making you pay full price again..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Crashes even moreI got this last year and every once in a while it would crash. Now since the last update, I can’t even make it one minute in a project without it crashing. I’m running it on a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9, with all the most recent updates for iOS 15..Version: 3.4
✓ Fix the sampler make it single sound sampler PLEASE READ THIS STEINBURG”I wish cubasis 3 was like fr studio and what I mean by this is I wish they added how when you use your own sounds and kits and you put them down into a piano roll like on for studio. Example let’s say we’re gonna use 808 when you choose your own kit and choose an 808 and put it down it shows up in piano roll we’re you can plug in each notes and what semitones they are so there not all the same sounds so it goes up and down octaves etc I really wish they add single notes to cubasis like fr studio so when I make hi hats I can plug them in then put hi hat rolls at different octaves or semitones please add this please please please add this in your mini sampler so when I choose my own sounds it doesn’t use just that one key for that sound but uses all keys would love this to happen !!!!!! I would like to see this like GarageBand mobile how you put one sound in the sampler and then you go to the piano roll and the sound you chose has different tones as you click up and down the piano roll please change the sampler to be a single sampler like fr studio and GarageBand mobile !!!!!! I’m begging.Version: 3.1.3
✓ A very capable app missing very basic features (keyboard support)I was honestly speechless when I discovered that this app has absolutely zero support for keyboard shortcuts whatsoever. I just don’t understand how you rebuild an app from the ground up in 2019/2020 and don’t include such a rudimentary feature. I could understand lack of mouse support, as that is new to iPadOS, but the iPad Pro has been around for FIVE years, with a keyboard attached. Trying to use this app with a modern iPad Pro and keyboard is a horrible experience. I keep hitting spacebar to play and nothing happens. Recording multiple takes feels so inefficient. Garageband has full keyboard shortcut support - and has done for some time. The lack in this is shameful. I really, really want to like it but AUD$80 for an app without this most basic of features just doesn’t cut it - I’m going to have to ask for a refund and keep using Garageband until Steinberg sorts it out..Version: 3.0.2
✓ No MPE editingA nice interface, and it can take input from MPE devices like a Seaboard just fine… but then it doesn’t actually handle MPE, it just pretends the first note’s expression parameters are global. Do not buy this with the hope of using it for MPE recording or editing..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Latest update has screwed this app.I’ve got an Arturia Keystep 37 keyboard but I can’t use it with Cubasis 3 because midi input no longer works. Not a smart move Steinberg. I saw the reply and shutting down and restarting doesn’t work. I can’t report a bug because I can’t actually register with your site. Apparently my U.K. email address isn’t a real email address, it is but not according to you. More bugs that need sorting out? Luckily I also have KORG Gadget 2, AUM and Loopy Pro on my iPad and my midi keyboard works with all of those. It’s a shame your app doesn’t, and an even bigger shame that you don’t like my email address. If I didn’t know better I would think that it was personal. If you ever fix the problem I’ll reinstall Cubasis 3 if it still exists, but I don’t hold out much hope and resent wasting money..Version: 3.5
✓ Still unreliable on iPad Pro (2016]I have an iPad Pro (2016). iOS 14.2 and it just isn’t stable. Timing goes off, time stretch goes off, unreliable quantise ,glitching , inter apps crashing , crashes during mixdowns and cpu overload during recording I have had Cubasis 2 for years and the problems were ironed out over the years. I understand Cubasis 3 was developed from ground up but after months and some updates it’s still unreliable ,feels unfinished and I can’t trust it. Maybe my iPad Pro is too old for it..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Soo gooddd!!I’ve been a cubasis user since cubasis 2 was released, and I’ve gotta say there have been major improvements in the development of the cubasis app. It’s even great that it has been released on mobile, a request that has been pending for quite some time. Cubasis 3 has gotta be my most favourite DAW yet! Thanks Lars for some help in your Steinberg forums. Just a quick question, I had cubasis 2 on my old iPad (doesn’t run iOS 13) with some in-app purchases, and now I have cubasis 3 on my mobile phone. Is there a way to restore purchases on a separate device under the same account?.Version: 1.0
✓ Metronome WoesHow can a metronome not work? I’ve used Cubasis 2LE and the metronome works like a metronome. On Cubasis 3 on an IPad Pro it seems to record the metronome on a hidden track. You can’t erase it. It might play 2,3,4 beeps for every beat. It plays when it is supposedly disabled. It plays when disabled and the transport is idle. It doesn’t play when you want it to. Apart from that the product might be okay, but I’ve gone back to Cubasis 2LE until I find out what is going on. If I don’t find out soon I will be asking for a refund..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Unnecessarily Complicated Second rate DawComplicated when it doesn’t have to be. About 20 bucks too expensive for what you get.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Time signatures?A DAW that offers a choice 6 time signatures and no means of changing them during the course of a song. And perhaps even worse…can’t change tempo during a song. Even as of version 3.5. This is a DAW that unfortunately cannot be taken seriously….unless you spend your entire musical creativity knocking out EDM tracks, which is perfectly fine of course, for those who do!.Version: 3.5
✓ GREAT APP BUT HAS BUGSIt is a very useful app but every time i try and import an audio file it crashes…….Version: 3.3.1
✓ The group tracks setting doesn’t work and the help section doesn’t work eitherI’m having huge difficulty finding anything on how to group tracks midi or audio. Thank you And can we get send buses in the future so that they can be printed and have one plugin go into another.Version: 3.1.1
✓ UnusableI thoroughly researched different mobile DAWs before purchasing this product. For my semi-professional purposes I felt this was the best option for me, and in the surface it would be. I was aware of many reviews stating that the product seemed rushed and buggy, but I didn’t expect what I’ve encountered, and given my problem this product is COMPLETELY unusable. What I am encountering is when I am trying to record audio, the program will momentarily pauses (hiccup is the best way I can describe it) right in the middle of recording. This is not relegated to recording only, but playback as well. Imagine trying to record something and after a minute or two through your performance, the program crash for just a moment and through everything off. Needless to say it’s extremely frustrating, and as I said, completely unusable. To make matters worse, there’s so little help and information / documentation on Cubasis on the Internet - when you search Cubasis you MAY get a couple hits, but by far the majority search results are for Cubase. It’s a slick interface, and I was really excited to get some songs recorded, but with the issue I’m having, I can’t even lay down the first track. I want a refund..Version: 3.0.2
✓ No Tempo changeAs a seasoned Cubase user, Cubasis was a natural choice for iPad. However I soon became disappointed to learn that there is no tempo change function. Flexibility and routing options are fantastic, just wish there was a tempo track option :/.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Fix the mixdown process pleaseThere is one big problem with cubasis for me and that is the problem with the ‘mixdown between locators’ option only working 10% of the time this option needs to be retuned and made to work properly every time please look into this team :).Version: 3.2.1
✓ Could/Should be far betterAs a person who is a fan of Cubase, this app is a HUGE letdown. Almost every time I try to record a midi track, none of the keys or pads do anything, as if it can’t register me touching the screen. Then I try to pause the track but it just keeps playing, causing me to have to close the app (and the track continues to play even after the app is closed). Then, when I reopen Cubasis, any and all progress I had made is gone. Extremely frustrating. I feel like this app tries to do more than what it can process, which is a shame because it has so much potential to be superior to any other mobile DAW available. I also wish you could change the song key like you can do in Cubase. Sure, Cubasis offers a lot more features than other mobile DAWs, such as GarageBand (which is free and runs almost flawlessly), but it isn’t worth the frustration or time lost. This app has a lot of improvements that need to be made. Until then, I’m sorry to say, I highly advise that you do NOT purchase this app..Version: 3.5.1
✓ No tempo track; no time signatureThe best useless app.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Good But With Intolerable FlawsCubasis 3 is a decent DAW for iPad, but there are several flaws that absolutely ruin the user experience for me. Select Doesn’t Work: First, choose the select tool and then trying to draw a box around events just doesn’t work. It looks like it tries to start to draw the bounding box, but then it just disappears. That makes it impossible to select MIDI notes you want to work with and ruins the piano roll editor. Merge Clips: if you’re in loop mode and overdub MIDI parts, it records new clips on every pass but puts them on top of existing clips. The new clips, on playback, mask the clips below them from being selected. You can hear them, but you can see them or select them without moving the clips on top out of the way first. So, consequently, when you select what you think is a whole part to copy and paste it, you’re only selecting the top layer or your last recording pass. There’s no way I can find to flatten the clips into one..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Not HappyThe developer does not seem to be interested in sending out an update to fix the many bugs this application has. Cubasis 3 was definitely sent out before it was ready. When I reached out to the developer to get an honest answer as to when the update would be released I was not given an answer. I was basically told it would be in the future. I definitely could have figured that on my own as I already knew it would probably be “In the future”. It would be nice for the developer to just shoot everyone straight instead of just giving everyone the runaround. You can see this as the response is the same copy and paste response. I definitely expected more from a company of this caliber. Take care of your customers and they will take care of you..Version: 1.0
✓ Mixed FeelingsSo I think it’s a great improvement, so much that I want to use it now. ... well, until I began to use it. To compare I am long time Auria Pro user. Both have feature sets that compliment each other in different production stages. ( runing on newest Ipad Pro 12.9) First, The program needs state saving of the mixer and settings. Certain setting keep reverting back when reopening app. And the mixer, Everytime I open the app I have to waste time setting everything up again for workflow. Now the serious problems. Severe latency will occur of 1/2 second. I have to keep restarting the ipad several times and shutting off the Channel Strips. Eventually it works Severe digital distorting and breakup can occur once latency issue is resolved. Severe bluetooth issues: connection, distortion, slowing audio down... Things are not working well and I cant get work done. For $50 Im becoming very disappointed and I dont have free time to waste. Cant you release a beta version and charge after it works??? I run Auria Pro 10x harder with FabFilter plugins and I havent a fraction of the issues in 48 hours. Sorry to complain, it has potential. But you charged me alot for me not to be able to use it. 5 stars after its fixed.Version: 3.1.3
✓ Mouse/trackpad support pleaseGood solid app, but it could go so much up to the next level productivity wise if it included full trackpad support now that iPadOS supports it generally! Please!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ I was expecting something more optimized by this point in the apps lifecycle.Picked up Cubasis 3 and all of the APIs for the Xmas sale thinking that with the last update that they had worked out all of the apparent bugs from its launch a year ago. I was mistaken. I am running a 10.5 iPad Pro with 14.3 and even with one AUV3 running alone inside of Cubasis I am getting crackles. If I open 3 or 4 AUV3s Cubasis becomes completely unstable and unusable (for instance Nanostudio 2 I can run 10-20 AUV3 instruments and Fx before it starts to crackle). It seems Cubasis 3 is unoptimized for the 10.5 iPad Pro. I’ve tried re installing, changing the latency, various different AUV3s trouble shooting but the problems remain. Also, I am unable to record audio routed in via Audiobus to an audio track. I’ve used Nanostudio, AUM, and GarageBand over the last 3 years extensively, planning on replacing GarageBand with Cubasis in my workflow mostly to record vocals and audio track capabilities still not possible in Nanostudio 2. I will stick with GarageBand and Nanostudio until this hopefully is resolved quickly with an update. I will updated my review if the problems are worked out. Right now the 60$ I just dropped on this is pretty much a waste..Version: 3.2
✓ Huge regret after purchasing this.This app has potential and a lot of decent features BUT.... for the price I was expecting the included plugins to be far better instead of being pressured into buying more. The piano roll is extremely awkward to work with. The sampler makes your workflow feel clunky and slow. The only way I could see this being worth a fraction of the price you’re asking is by improving the piano roll, adding new instruments / fx for free (seriously $70 and you gave us a couple garbage plugins), and removing the optional purchases from the browser and into a separate shop button so that we aren’t bombarded by you trying to get more money from us. If you’re looking to purchase a DAW, instead maybe stick to GarageBand and a few free plugins. You can get more out of those than this by a LONG shot. Right now this is a huge waste of money considering what else is available and feels like a demo version of a DAW instead of the full thing. Can I get a refund?.Version: 3.1.1
✓ I am just confused.I have been a loyal Steinberg customer for many years and this was my first foray into their mobile offerings as I just got a new iPad, but I am sad to say that this product does not match the quality of their products. It seems rushed and incomplete. I found out after purchasing that the sampler edit functionality isn’t even included in the initial release. Now I have to wait until at least end of March. Really？That is very basic DAW stuff. Not to mention the instability and crackling with IAA apps. I would have much preferred they waited to release until it was perfect. It has a lot of potential to be the best iOS DAW but it has left a bad taste in my mouth about Steinberg and how they treat their customers. When I spend 50 bucks on an app I expect it to work as intended and at the very least be fully functional on release. Very disappointed. I know they are diligently trying to fix it but it still baffles me how it could be released like this. Some features I hope they include in the future are the ability to use search terms in the media bay and side chain compression at the minimum..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Absolute TrashI want a refund, spending $80 on an app to find out you have to pay for all the effects is absolute nonsense I should of stuck with Cubase 9.5 that I already had... What an absolute rip off $10 each for three effects at a time... Time to look at moving to another DAW.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Really!😤😒Come on..... Why can’t I restore my in app purchases!!!!😡 this is why I jumped out the window so fast. And it keeps tell me I have no purchases when in fact I bought everything. I need this fixed ASAP. Oh yeah thanks for the iPhone version! But 3 for now but I’ll give a 5star review when this issue is resolved..Version: 1.0
✓ Great but need the shortcuts & extra features used for desktop…I made the move from MacOS using Logic Pro X to iOS Music Production as I love the portability and the flexibility iOS has for creatives. However, the main issue I have with this DAW (Even though it’s the best DAW you can use currently on the App Store) I hate the clunkiness of the mouse/trackpad and keyboard support such as - pressing down to scroll up and down the project view, the slow lag of pinch to zoom, not being able to drag tracks up and down the project to keep things organised and easy to navigate, placing markers for the structure of a song and some audio recordings occasionally can’t be heard which results in shutting down and reopening the DAW. Also the occasional crash here and there which is extremely frustrating… These are things that I would wish to be fixed for this DAW as i think it has so much potential to be an amazing music making application and could be a great competition with Logic Pro X on MacOS..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Well featured but unusable.Using latest version of app and iOS on iPad Pro.. keeps freezing or dropping out audio. Sometimes UI freezes. Projects load up with everything pitch shifted. Mainly using Koala with other plug ons. Disappointed, has SO MUCH promise but it just doesn’t work.. ..would give 5 stars otherwise..Version: 3.4.3
✓ I sooo wanted this to be THE app to make music with, but……So, after a lot of research, I decided to purchase today. For about 10 mins, absolutely fine. Then it started to lock up. Multiple times. Had to restart the app every time. On Air IPad 3, using MPD218 controller for drums. So with a heavy heart, I’ve requested a refund. I’ve decided it’s not for me…..yet. Stop it locking up, I’ll be back like a shot. Sooo disappointed, as it’s a well thought out app, but that ruins it for me if I can’t get a simple loop programmed in…..😩😩😩.Version: 3.3
