Cubasis LE 3 for Negative User Reviews
✓ I’d like to utilize iPad and iPhone capabilities..Why do you need to make sure I have money in my account just to download an app that I already paid for and use?.Version: 3.4.3
✓ It had so much potentialUsing the app is great, was easy to find out how to write midi and arrange and just what I was looking for. If this had more functionality on a demo, it would be perfect. Coming from someone who has used and purchased Cubase for 10 years, the demo limitations in this mobile app are a complete joke. 30 minute demo timer doesn’t even give you enough time to learn how to use the mobile app. It took me 5 minutes to find out how to start writing a MIDI track. You can’t start a new project, all settings revert after 30 minutes, you can’t export MIDI in demo. The only reason I would ever use my phone to track or write music is when I am on the go so I can get an idea written and translated so I can export or copy into my desktop DAW when I get home. This demo app doesn’t allow me to do that. I’d be willing to spend a few bucks on the app for sure but I am not buying a hardware license to use my phone to track ideas. I don’t know what subset of people record on their phone but this isn’t really what I’d consider a “Lite edition” (Cubasis LE). Maybe if they make a true LE for just tracking ideas and charge $3 I’d buy it..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Very sadI feel cheated I paid 50 dollars for the app plus extras for more accessories then I spent 50 more for Cubasis lE 3 because supposedly it is a more complete app but oh surprise I have to pay again for tools that I had already bought in Cubasis which really bothers me really really disappointed.Version: 3.5
✓ A baffling disappointmentYou can’t record mono tracks? Really? No drum machine built in, no decent loop library. I’ve used Cubase in many forms for years and this version is bafflingly poor. Free DAWs like Waveform and Bandlab are far superior for what I need..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Useless for meI bought a $400 interface from Steinberg and they can’t even give the full version of Cubasis? The LE version can’t even import a midi file. Seriously? Useless!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ WhyWhy can we only have demo mode this :((((.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Crashes but enjoyable when worksI’m a big Steinberg fan , heavy Cubase user so wanted to expand but feel this app isn’t optimized for iPad. Some great features like freezing , automation, chord pads, and IAP make it an solid tool. But when I use IAP it often freezes or takes forever to load. Which isn’t an iPad experience, you want something quick and light I don’t expect a full fledged daw but a stable one at least. Also surprised there isn’t scale assistant as thats a huge Cubase feature. So having to use other apps to do that function also adds to the load. As a premium offering in the iPad ecosystem I expected better performance it’s one of the slowest music apps I’ve used. I do enjoy it at times but it proven to be unreliable and frustrating to. Hoping for more stable efficient updates..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Can't connect to unlock purchaseThe link to connect my supported amp doesn't work. Tapping on the link has no effect, I can't unlock the purchase with my supported Yamaha amp. This isn't a matter of Bluetooth working, the link in the UI is broken, ie doesn't do anything at all..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Very poor.As a long time user of Cubase on pc i thought I’d give this a try. Ignoring its a cut down version, this is so bad. Biggest issue is i have to force quite the app each time i load a new midi drum pattern in, otherwise i dont hear anything. The pattern gets loaded, I can play the pads, but playing the track gives no drum sounds. Once i re start the app it comes to life again. This happens 100% of the time. For £29 this is ridiculous. Will be getting a refund and going back to GB..Version: 3.0.3
✓ FrustratedI would like to try this app for sound effect design, but I have a zoom h6 which is not one of your listed devices. It did come with a key code for for Cubase LE on a desktop machine, but I am trying to be more mobile with my editing. I have no way to import a sound in the demo mode. There is not a way to determine if this will do what I want it to do. Super bummed..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Don’t waste your timeIf the app was free it would be basic but okay, the level of support with virtual amps etc is very average at best. Effects you add on tracks sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. There is no support from Steinberg apart from a community forum so the chances of sorting issues is pretty slim as I have learnt with a major crashing issue through Cubase 11 and 12. I personally wouldn’t recommend spending money on the app..Version: 3.4.3
✓ WhateverNot that helpful, you’re probably better off watching a bunch of YouTube videos then buying, or not, the full version..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Shady practicesWhen purchasing their add ons I was shown a pop up (for each add on) stating that I could get a refund within 14 days. I already have FX apps for days and I have about 5 drum apps and over a thousand splice samples. I ONLY grabbed these packs because I was offered this 14 day refund window. Turns out this was an utter lie. When trying to get a refund through Apple, it was declined and after I appealed it was declined again. I spoke to an advisor who said part of the approval process involved the app creators. What makes this even more disgusting is that I can refund cubasis, but not it’s add ons, so even if I walk away, they still get their thieving hands on my money. They have me cornered… be very wary of this company..Version: 3.3.1
✓ PrecioPorque cuesta lo mismo que Cubasis 3 sino tiene lo mismo solo 4 canales lo compre por equivocación sólo quería actualizar el Cubasis 2 al Cubasis 3🤬.Version: 3.5.1
✓ LE2 to LE3I just activated LE2 then realized LE3 is available. Firstly, it’s confusing why I have to see two different versions? I downloaded LE3 and connected to my iPad Pro. It doesn’t seem to be able to get out Demo mode. Do I have to delete LE2 to activate LE3? LE2 shows app’s name as Lae while LE3 shows LE3. Steinberg doesn’t seem to have solid rules for naming, maintaining download link, updating the information. My very first Cubase was on my Macintosh Color Classic 27 years ago..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Your app is expensive I have hacked your system you should offer lessYour app said free trial!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Why can’t I get the sounds I wantPlease help me get the packs I want I don’t even know anything about this app.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Cubasis LE2 upgrade to cubasis 2 not transferable in v3I was happy to see my in app purchases transferred from Cubasis 2 (previously upgraded from LE2 with the in-app upgrade option) however the upgrade from LE to full didn’t transfer which makes this pointless as I can’t use the import feature or any of the other full features. I don’t see enough improvements to want to pay again for cubasis by upgrading the LE version so I won’t be using this unless Strindberg can fix this upgrade problem..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Cubasis LE 3These are terrible products that never work. I purchased Cubasis 2. To make it work with an IPAD, I had to then buy another Steinberg product, a UR22mkII interface. Then, because they don’t connect, I had to spend more money on a ‘Apple IPAD Camera Connection’. Of course, that doesn’t work either. Eventually I got the IPAD working with an IRig, but now I can only use one mic instead of multiple inputs (ie what the interface was supposed to do) So, now I upgraded to Cubasis LE 3, on the hope that these various problems would be solved. Nope. Instead, there is a new problem. I have to “connect to a Bluetooth supported device” to “unlock all Cubasis LE features”. Well, I don’t even know what that is, and now can no longer just plug in the mic, let alone use the UR22 contraption that (spoiler alert) doesn’t have bluetooth. (Notwithstanding that the Steinberg website states that it is compatible with the app) If you are still reading this I’d be surprised. Let me sum up so not to waste more of your time: Steinberg products don’t work as advertised. Don’t buy them. If there was a rating less than 1 out of 5, that’s what I would choose.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Why?I wanted to give this app a try to see if the full version of Cubasis was right for me, but nearly every feature I wanted to test is disabled. And on top of that, you can only use the demo for 30 minutes..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Doesn’t support zoom h8!!!Why does this app doesn’t support my brand spanking new zoom h8!? After downloading the app I’m asked to connect my supported device. I have done that and nothing happens! It doesn’t recognise the device!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ Can’t activate this app!I have installed Cubasis LE3 and plugged in my Steinberg UR12 but it will not activate. I’m using iOS 13.4.1 and the paperwork says ‘just plug in’ So unfortunately I can’t submit a review!.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Issues!Bought a Steinberg UR44C which came with Cubasis LE. I upgrade because you can’t do anything serious with the very gimped LE. Cubasis 3 crashes with just Ravenscroft 275 loaded on one track! I switched back to Cubasis 2 and I have NO ISSUES! What??? This is a Steinberg interface! Please fix this!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ This was awful!If I could give this a 0 star I would☹️! This game was awful I didn’t even know how to add beats! It had resources to help AND the YouTube video made me cry because how un helpful it was! I wish I had never got this! It took up wayyyyyy to much storage and was trash! DO NOT spend your time or money on this!.Version: 3.5.1
✓ App keeps crashing on me!!!😤.Version: 3.4.1
✓ More!This made me so mad I had to write more. So, I go to use Bias FX 2. Nope! “This version doesn’t support doing that.” Really?! A trial version can’t insert an amp modeling app to see how it functions in your software???? ZERO stars..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Not connecting to my device!I bought a Steinberg audiointerface and upon discovery of this Software an original iPhone camera kit to use my IPhone 14 as a mobile recording solution. Doesn’t work!.Version: 3.4.3
✓ Crashes, can’t get anything doneI imported a 90 minute recording of a piano performance and tried making some simple edits to the file… Thought it was working well, until the program just crashed… When i load the project up again, all the edits are gone. This has happened several times. I’m thoroughly unimpressed with this software. The only reason I tried it is because it came as a “freebie” with a Korg keyboard I purchased. What a waste of time! There’s no way I would pay for the full version if it’s anything like this..Version: 3.4
✓ Waste of timeIt took longer time to download than any other app but that’s not the big problem. Why the heck do you have buttons like “create new project” and “create new track” on the app when clicking any of these would say “sorry this isn’t available in this app”?!!! All you can do with this app is listen to a frekin’ demo, will what’s the point in that!?!? Deleting, such a waste of time….Version: 3.3.3
✓ Cubasis le 3I bought a Yamaha AG06 mixer which was supposed to give me access to more features. It’s worked in the past, but all of the sudden it tells me I can’t export my mixdowns from the cubasis app to my files. Maybe I’m just missing something, but it won’t let me share my track or download it unless I upgrade. This is very ironic to me because we’ve paid the $30 to upgrade previously, and the app wouldn’t restore my purchase. Why can’t I export my mixdowns if I have a mixer which is supposed to give me access, and we’ve paid the $30 upgrade price in the past? If I’m just overlooking something please let me know.Version: 3.1.3
✓ In app purchaseI purchased the three wave plugins for $7.99 each. The bundle price is $19.99. I was charged a total of $23.97. Why couldn’t you just give me the bundle price instead of charging for each separate plugin?.Version: 3.0.3
✓ Totally inaccessible applicationWay to go Steinburg! Working hard to exclude millions of users who utilise the accessibility features of the Apple devices. Sadly, as a severely visually impaired user your application doesn’t work with any of the Apple accessibility features and is completely hopeless as a result. Given that there are over 12 million users with visual impairment this seems like a major flaw in your business decision. I hope you can resolve this issue as right now it is completely unusable for me and it’s preventing me from buying the full version..Version: 3.4.3
✓ This lite version is a waste of spaceWhat is the point of making a lite version available if it will only work with some approved hardware. Lite versions are supposed to be cut down versions of the full app that entice you to make the full app purchase. The discovery that the behaviour of this lite version, ie you get 30mins and then everything is reset with no ability to save what you’ve done, instantly makes me want to delete it from my iPad. There is no way I would invest time into something creative if it gets tossed away. Come on Steinberg, stop being cheapskates, make this app a cut down but fully functioning version of the full app. You might get more sales that way. I’m now going to delete it from my iPad without even trying it so it’s highly unlikely I’m going to ante up £50 for the full version..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Latency issueSimply put Cubasis 3 has a latency issue that Cubasis 2 did not have. I’m not new to Cubasis. I owned the original and the Cubasis 2. Running on iPad Pro 2nd gen. I have no latency with Cubasis 2. Cubasis 3 performance is so sluggish that live monitoring is impossible..Version: 3.3.1
✓ NC2x does not activate the appI connected my numaCompact 2x and it’s reading it as interface but not activating the app. Please fix this..Version: 3.3
✓ Need a midi bluetooth device to upgrade !I don’t have a midi bluetooth device, how do I unlock the in app upgrade from LE2 to LE3 ? Update: The automatic reply from the developer shows that they didn’t listen to my question. Update #2: I try to unlock demo mode by connecting an iRig Bluetooth Midi Blueboard but it seems that this device is not supported even though almost every other iRig device is, very frustrating, I paid $50 for Cubasis and now I have to buy useless hardware to unlock it ! Reply #3 to developer, Your question was; what hardware did i use to unlock Cubasis Le ! A: I didn’t have to, I just paid the $49 on the App Store and installed it on my iPad..Version: 3.1.3
✓ TrashNo good dont buy! Trash!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Not goodWhy do you have to have iOS 13 on it to run this not only that it's not that good there's more problems with this Then there is with Cubase 2 .And there's a lot of problems with that as well trying to force you to pay a extra £50 to get something that doesn't even work as good as cubasis 2 I cannot install this or cubasis 3 because it needs iOS 13 and I am not on iOS 13 and do not want to be on iOS 13 because it doesn't run very well.With music software So there's no reason for it to be on iOS 13 in the first place.Version: 3.1.1
✓ App keeps crashingEvery time I try to upload a beat from my files the app crashes on me. I paid 30$ just to be able to import tracks and I can’t even do that..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Please add support for the irig streamI downloaded the app ready to check it out. I was ready to unlock all the features but I couldn’t because it didn’t support ik multimedia irig stream. So can y’all please add support for the irig stream?.Version: 3.5
✓ Description says somewhere..“Music first?” Sounds good in copy but obviously not the case here. Yes yet another bait and spammy switch style marketing campaign , nothing original to see here folks.. This app-race greed has become cliche and down right boring. Hey. If you let us consumers demo your product we might then buy it, if it is worth a stick.. instead you lock it all up and do that force the hand to pay type approach. . Yawn. I’m over this - I meant to click zero stars.Version: 3.3.1
✓ See no reason to upgrade.Having had a look at the differences between Cubasis 2 & 3, I cannot see an reason to upgrade at all. Steinberg will have to try a lot harder to get me to part with yet more money..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Garbage demo1st nothing is unlocked that’s fine but to have a demo that expires where nothing is unlocked is just garbage every feature has to be unlocked if you have a expiration period I was going to buy the full version but after that little stunt no thank you I paid enough for Cubase AI LE Elements 9.5 full version would be nice to have this though but without testing it I can determine if it’s worth it or not I mean does it connect with my pc or not I couldn’t even tell you.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Not about music. About money changing hands.Just offer it to use like normal demos. Being in bed with product manufacturers makes you look like money grubbers. Remember, it's about the music. Come back from the abyss! Just let us use it for a while like other apps. I don't want to buy a piece of equipment to try your product. No, your so called demo mode is not letting us try it for a while. Be more generous. It will return to you..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Why ?Okay the fact that you can only unlock the app with a Bluetooth midi keyboard is kind of redundant. Like why ? What is the legit reason, I don’t own a Bluetooth keyboard and shouldn’t have to fork out money just to test an app to see if I want to actually by the full version for a hefty 69.99. So once again....WHY ?.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Supposed to be free with my £400 ampDONT BE A MUG. I BOIGHT A YAMAHA AMP WHICHBWAS SUPPOSED TO COME WITH THIS SOFTWARE FOR FREE ... THE BUTTON TO CONNECT MY AMP AND DOWNLOAD THE FULL VERSION IS DISABLED.... BLATANT RIP OFF.Version: 3.2
✓ PointlessSteinberg is constantly behind iOS releases and audio interfaces firmware. Therefore none of the UR-C devices are ever working with iPads. This means that you not only shouldn't buy the app but also should not buy their interfaces if you planning to use them with iOS. The whole thing is totally pointless..Version: 3.4.3
✓ No info on full upgrade terms!So you expect me to purchase an in-app upgrade which, since I can’t find any info on, won’t necessarily be transferred to future update, or give me the ability to download the fully featured app? So as far as I understand the “fully featured" purchase will be limited to v3 only! I’ve read through your documentation and found 0 info about this, so thanks for wasting my time with this 30 min demo of a heavily cut down simple daw. Hardly a good customer experience! Edit: thanks for the completely unrelated response. I've made up my mind to not deal with Steinberg or this app.Version: 3.4.3
✓ No punch in...What???Re-recording over existing audio creates a new layer on top and it all plays back together, which is good in some circumstances but we can’t turn it off? Ridiculous..Version: 3.2.1
