Cubase 11

Lets wait and see!

+1

All feature requests are fair, and all are valuable. It’s very difficult to favor one over the other.

I agree with all of them, and prioritize what I consider is mostly overdue. Like the Audio Connections window, or things that obviously (ie visually) don’t agree with the current design.

However, I would also like to see a clean-up. Features that Steinberg feels they don’t want to maintain, they must clearly state so and phase them out. But there are many small things scattered in all corners of the program that need fixing. Missing or not working key commands, remote controller assignments, small GUI issues, one in this window, one in another. All these small quirks amount to a certain stiffness, that I, personally, would greatly appreciate if it went away.

For example to know that this “Apply” button in this menu is useless but we haven’t taken it out, or that the Import Key-commands button is a relic from past days and that we shouldn’t use it… it doesn’t look logical to me. Remove them and be done with them! Will there be some special-cases impacted from the removal? Evaluate, provide a workaround, document it clearly and all’s well!

Ideally, I would expect each and every one of the programs editors to feature:

-Fully modular Left, Right and Bottom Zones. Build our own workspace. This goes for toolbars, transport panel and bar included. Adjust height in lines, freely place buttons, just like we can do with the “Track Controls Settings”. (sneak a fader and a panner there please)
-Full Key-Command Control. Everything should have a key command. Not enough keys on the keyboard? I don’t think so. Being able to load key-command presets on the fly would make this wonderfully manageable. Imagine having a whole keyboard at your disposal JUST for Score Editting, or midi editting.

One of Cubase’s “problems”, well not problems, I just can’t find the right word now, is that while it’s choke full of features, sometimes they are hidden from the user in menus and places a user would overlook. Encouraging modularity, the program can highlight its features, by means of having the users put the right function in the right place for them.

+1 for Cubase 11

[Tomateck]

+1000 and I add the full screen mode for mac users, I hope It will be able without the need of pay for a new upgrade for v11.

[dstenning]

+1. Agreed. A sensible list indeed.

I’ll add just one thing :- Ableton-style. SESSION type page with clip/scene launching.


Along with gapless audio I’d like to be Able to use cubase as a pattern mode tool -maybe combining aspects of the arranger feature too as there would be some crossover.

[Mute]

Don’t forget the clipgain. Great in Pro Tools, stupid in Cubase. I don’t understand why.

[Taha_Malik]

Great suggestions! Added.

@Dragon96

I recommend:
1- Some jamming mode like Live session view
2- Rnd Portico and Yamaha Vintage Plugins as built-in
3- Listening AI assistant like Siri or Cortana

A Live style session view in Cubase is interesting. Digital Performer implemented it, but it’s still clunky. A more doable alternative is to simply have Ableton Link compatibility.

Yes, good idea!
I own and use Live professionally like Cubase and Link compatibility can help a lot. Of course that needs adding some kind of jamming engine inside Cubase.

I would heartily endorse not putting an Ableton Live-like thing in Cubase. Cubase is such a deep and multilayered piece of software, and running Live alongside with it is a better idea than trying to mash it into Cubase (which will never be as good as Ableton Live…because it’s Cubase and not Ableton Live). But I have no need for Ableton (I know it pretty well and just don’t like it for the way I work), so this option is a very good compromise to me that keeps Cubase Cubase-focused and also lets people use Ableton if they love it.

My opinion, anyway!

@lovegames

@kostal

@lovegames

revamp of external audio connections is on of the most important. I would pick it over everything on that list combined

Okay. Lol… I’m sensing a pattern, my friend! Good luck.

The pattern is logical analysis and conclusion.

I have a personal list of about 200 feature requests spread out across multiple notebooks crammed with notes, some of which are the ones you’ve listed. I know every quirk about this program like how StepDesigners CC modulators are Cubase global and don’t save/recall project to project which is annoying and ridiculous.

• Waveform anti-aliasing.

Nice but non-essential.
-Isn’t going to significantly speed up workflow
-Isn’t going to assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output
-Isn’t going to improve performance (if anything decrease it)

• Professional metering

Nice, but again, can live without, have 3rd party tools as most do.
-Isn’t going to significantly speed up workflow
-Isn’t going to significantly assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output
-Isn’t going to improve performance (if anything decrease it)

• Moving tracks in mixer.

Nice, but meh, I’ve lived without and can continue to. I think potential problems with this is the folders aren’t displayed in mixer.
-Could speed up workflow a bit, but not significantly. I always keep my tracks organized before I’m opening up the mixer.
-Isn’t going to significantly assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output

• Warping on arrangement window/tracks.

Not sure what you’re talking about here

• Better fonts/colors.

-meh, everything’s fine, check your OCD maybe.
-Isn’t going to significantly speed up workflow
-Isn’t going to assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output
-Isn’t going to improve performance

• Ability to turn on and off grid lines in arrangement window.

This could be useful with a key command but again:
-Isn’t going to significantly speed up workflow
-Isn’t going to assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output
-Isn’t going to improve performance

• Multi-track free warp

-This could be useful, but honestly, I avoid Warp at all costs. cut-slide-xfade is still the preferred method - doesn’t degrade the sound variably across the entire project from one section to the next, doesn’t create artifacts, etc.

• Nudging of events and midi notes by specific musical or time values by key command and nudge tools (without the use of logical editor).

Why? What is wrong with keybinding PLE scripts? I think you can even skip PLE and just use macros for this:
–Cut
–Nudge Cursor Forward by quantize value
–Paste

• Proper EUCON support (reflect hidden tracks etc.)

I’m guessing Steinberg/Yamaha are developing their own control/console interfaces such as Nuage.

• Gapless audio engine

Nice, would be good to get rid of any slight annoyance like this
-Isn’t going to significantly speed up workflow
-Isn’t going to assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output

• Folder group tracks (folder tracks fold/reflect in mixer)

Manageable without this, can survive.
-Isn’t going to significantly speed up workflow
-Isn’t going to assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output
-Isn’t going to improve performance

• Range selection edit on event gain/envelopes

-Could be nice, but you can set up a macro to split the selection, trim by -6db and crossfade all in one key stroke.

• Stereo plugins on mono tracks.

Could be useful sometimes, but I hardly run into this and a solution is a keystroke away and couple clicks away.

• Range selection edit on tempo track.

I’ll give you this one, anyone doing a lot of tempo work, tempo editing is a bit finicky.

• Ability to show only event name or event description—not both. Or events follow track names exactly always. Also event names to be tabbed thinly so they don’t overlap waveforms (see Logic or Cubase 5?)

Nice but can live without, actually if I were to suggest one thing here, it would be to resolve the name obscuring the waveform. the name should be behind the waveform or transparent or something.
-Isn’t going to significantly speed up workflow
-Isn’t going to assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output
-Isn’t going to improve performance

• Tabbed VST views

This could be good, I’ll give you this one. Some sort of VST window management

• Slicing in sampler track

This could be good, I’ll give you this one.

• Smooth playhead cursor (see Logic Pro X)

Not sure what you’re talking about here - my cursor is fine.

• Inspector icons/workflow enhancement.

huh?
-Isn’t going to significantly speed up workflow
-Isn’t going to assist in improving audio/production quality
-Isn’t going to contribute or help deliver creative output
-Isn’t going to improve performance

• Elastic band in midi editor like Ableton

Not sure what this so I’ll pass personally

• Improved markers display/visuals

The only thing I would suggest here is that there is an option for markers to visually extend their legs down to the bottom of the project and to pin marker tracks to the top ruler or in the project Overview which would give it a use.

• Drum editor and key editor enhancement (patterns).

• Everythings pretty good to make music and compositions. What I would improve actually is the DrumMap editor which is still an archaic line by line text column editor thing.

• Triplets and swing grid in warping

I perform triplets. I think isn’t there a way to hack your own grid map? I thought there was a way to do this. maybe not.

• Better way to import and store swing/groove Q presets.

Sure I don’t know, I guess. sort of a yawn. I’ll throw you a bone I guess.

• LFOs/VST modular routing.

If you’re talking FL Studio cross patching, Not really what Cubase does nor is it what I want my head to be contending with while working in Cubase. Cubase hosts things that does this. Last thing I would want is for someone to send me their project to work on and have this random flower scattered everywhere.
-so, no. bad idea.

• Ableton Link support

-Why? Never understand why people have utility for this, is it even realistic? There’s already ways of achieving this as stated above. Just do some work in Ableton, commit, export. I’m more concerned with improving Cubase as a self-contained program integrating other Steinberg assets.

• Paid 500 series type options for channel strip. Perhaps an even deeper Console 1 integration with strips.

They could do this with RND (I have a thread suggesting so), but this isn’t a priority, there’s already so many plugin options out there offering colours.

• Maybe a hardware controller for Groove Agent (see PreSonus or NI)

This would be good and is something missing. Steinberg has the software asking for HW drum control, Yamaha has the resources. They could team up with Roger Linn and Dave Smith (the aesthetics and nerd factor matches Cubase)

• A way to edit transient settings on elastique algorithms. Etc.

Meh, I mostly avoid these utilities but they have their purpose, if some tweakable settings gave significantly better results, sure.


So, it’s only an alright list. And this is the problem with the Feature Requests forums, no offense, but there is a lack of deliberative criticism on what people suggest and why and we just end up with huge lists without a consolidated direction.

Audio Connections

a.) It’s still the old GUI, so it needs an update regardless.

b.) While the industry swung hard into being mostly ITB, it swung back and leveled out between the two in which a lot of people are moving back to or are aspiring to work with analog equipment, gear. Eurorack exploded, 500 series exploded, Behringer is releasing affordable knockoffs, lots of guitar pedal makers as always, DIY pro audio community exploded, used Synth market exploded, pro audio external hardware effects are returning such as the new Neve AMS RMX16 500 and the Eventide H9000. All of Steinbergs new marketing has eurorack and synths in it.

Steinberg has not facilitated this change, in which people have more gear than they do AD/DA and that is a big problem. Audio Connections can’t be shared, they get stolen, they break from project to project and don’t recall properly sometimes. External Audio Connections to make it worse, doesn’t have a full-recall presets only individual presets. If you are running a studio with only 16ad/da which you are using sometimes 16 channels for recording inputs, and then 12 of those are being switched to analog gear for mixing, and then you’re having to switch back to full recording set up, and then you’re doing a combination of synth recording and external mixing, etc, etc. It’s incredibly non-viable way of working.

Now the vast majority of people who have Cubase, probably have no gear, perhaps not even AD/DA and just use their laptops headphone out. But this is important for Steinberg to facilitate professional studios and high-end hobbiests. Steinberg is at a critical point to break a bigger chunk off of that market for themselves, and improving this aspect of Cubase is essential to that.

Mr. “Meh”, I’d suggested you to keep your “meh” with you, okay! You’re not alone here, and I personally support that guy above with his list. Your nasty tone is annoying. Watch your mouth and keep your disrespectful behavior away. If you could live without this list of improvements - okay, but don’t speak for other people who uses this DAW.
All the best.

[Glorian_Gray]

Hi there @kostal
Nice bunch of improvements you have suggested!
I have few of mine, it would be awesome if add 'em into your list too!

Here:

I personally use sample track for 808 bass triggering, I put it mono and play with glide knob to creat a crazy legato effect (i’m edm producer btw)
But I noticed that when I play a whole C note for e.g and put a quarter E note in octave above (not at the same time but at the half of a whole lower C note) - this do not produce that effect that I’m looking for - I think, that problem is that “sample track” is retriggering the note again - what is not required.

I could do this effect simply in FL Studio, Ableton etc, but I can’t do so in Cubase’s sample track. I hope this description is make a sense, anyway if it’s not that clear, I could try to explain again. Thnx.

Request for Drum Editor:

There’s a CC field inside, when I could draw velocity curve etc. Could you, Steinberg make it possible to add CC commands for preloaded VSTi’s (GA) knobs, sliders, to manipulate such settings like coarse, fine for particular intruments: hihat, snare. Hope you’ve got the idea. I saw this feature in Studio One where you could pick up any settings from Impact’s sounds and draw the CC curves in drum editor. That would be awesome in Cubase as well.

Thank you in advance, all the best!

Is the C note being retriggered when you release the E note? Or the glide is not happening?

To Steinberg:
Hello I am use studio one 4.6 professional

And I want to buy Cubase pro 10.5 and I have a plan to buy a lot of ur plugins
But In Fact am very afraid
Sorry for saying this , The first thing… ur customer service is not good
a lot of ur customers they went to another DAW Because a lot of things
Cubase , neuendo , works only with USB Dongle …!!
they cant activates ur Softwares easily and they took hours and days to solve the problems, and some of them could not solve it go check youtube videos , comments about issues …
I read a lot of customers problems, They sent u an emails to find solution and now they ask some of them in the comments :
(Did u find a solution to this problem)

we are in 2020 and u r still using this old method elicenser usb dongle … !!
There is no objection to buying and using it to activate if this is your policy
But the program does not work except this USB, Every time when we running the Cubase ??

This indicates lack of respect for the customer
if the usb missed what can I do ? if the usb damged on my laptop bag I will lose my sessions, I cant do any thing and maybe if I get the new dongle cant download it again
I bought a lot of product that’s require a hard disk and USB flash memory to activation , after activation I no longer use the usb to run the software , this makes the customers more comfortable from being lost or malfunctioning… I bought a lot of software form the biggest international companies like ADOBE
I can use my adobe collection with out USB and the collections can be transferred on any device provided that the collections is on only one device …

The worlds has changed and now we are use laptops and small pcs … and we cannot plug this dongle all times…!!

Do u have any plan to make the usb elicenser only for activation ?
after activation we can use the cubase without USB Dongle
we do not mind when receiving an update we plug this dongle again…

Please Steinberg make some changes to your approach in your very old way…
Which makes the user afraid of losing everything due to any damage, they are buying ur products and u TREAT HIM LIKE A PRISONER …

I bought studio one professional they gave me 5 copies I can managed every device in my presonus profile ADD NEW , EDIT , DELETE USERS … (and thier customer care is very good) most people now use studio one just a download link and the way yo avtivate it is simple it does not require more waiting and we can run the software freely without any USB

With presonus I have remote control app to the DAW for studio one I cant easily record my self with my android mobile ,
why you don’t have REMOTE APP FOR IOS & ANDROID … this is a very modern way
the customers will grow up with every service u offer them

CUBASIS APP FOR ANDROID ??
U don’t support android ? the android users its more than apples more Cubase user I know them using android phone and and android tablet

support multitouch for Cubase 11 we are now use a touch screen monitors for pc and touch laptops
let users freedom choose between (2 modes) TOUCH MODE … STANDARD MODE most users now have to complete the mix with windows tablets and this causes the user to purchase more than one copy

PIANO ON SCREEN In the midi section make ur software’s CREATIVE add a full touch piano on screen with large keys for touch playng and record at the same time … this makes it easier to compose any where without any external device a lot of people now use touch device laptops, pcs , tablets
ROLAND ZAINBEATS DAW SOFTWARE they add beautiful multitouch support and piano on screen but the software its for beginners

Can u hear our voices ? and take care of your customers and their opinions

( we have no problem using the USB Dongle to Activate , but after that it must be plugged only if we have an updates )

Sorry for my long story
I wish u all the best
Best regards

[absolutelylasteffect]

I use cubase from long time, together with others softwares and for soundtrack projects would be great if the VSTRack could be shared between projects, similar to V-Rack in Digital Performer. Many times I need to opened different project that have the same VSTi with the same patch, Halion 6 and Kontakt for example with ton of samples to loads. Every time to switch Cubase reload all.
Thank you

So I think what you’re trying to do in the Sampler Track is mono legato—this is available in Halion 6 full version. The Sampler Track itself is a port from Halion/GA. I’m sure Steinberg will improve ST—especially chopping samples etc. I’ve included that in the list.

Drum/key editor enhancements are also in the list.

[zoidkirb]

Overall I really like the GUI but here’s a few little changes I’ve thought of.

When expanding the inspector pane, it just creates a pointless empty area. What I’d really like is for the actual elements of the inspector, especially the little window/box that displays each automation lane name. Right now for me that name is really hard to quickley decypher once i have a few sends automated (ie text like “ins:…send.3.del.m” or whatever things try to abreiviate to) . maybe even allow us to rename the sends themselves would help further.

Wide scroll bars? Probably been heavily requested before but I’ll chime in too.

Lately I’ve really gotten in the habit of always using the search bar in Cubase’s media browsers to find sounds, fx etc.
A way to type in/search for key command/menu options would be nice too because so often I know the funcion I’m after but completely forget the key command or even what menu the function is in.

Personally I hope Steinberg don’t radically change things again, rather they just sculpt and perfect what is already there.

edit: it appears i posted this in the wrong thread
mods please move if necesary.

Mate, I don’t have a full Hallion and I see no reason to buy it, I would buy Kontakt/Omnisphere if I had free money.
Also, I don’t see any difficulty to implement this so-called “MONO LEGATO” in the Sample Track to give us EDM musicians the opportunity to work with samples in various ways. Sample Track, judging by its name, was created for working with samples. This “mono legato” mode is default feature in FL Studio (Key Editor) and Ableton (Simpler).

Upd.

Hey!

So I thought about your issue more. I’ll be honest, it’s
not clear what it is from your description. Can you share two audio files (5 seconds each): one showing the desired effect you want from Ableton or FL and one from the sampler track in Cubase—using the same 808 sample.

I’ve been thinking—I believe the glide function in ST is a kind of pitch envelope, rather than a true portamento. You can turn on legato under audio warp, but it’s not quite right. I need to do more testing and research on this.

I think you should share those samples, so I know for sure what your issue is. Thank you!
