What is that? I can horizontal scroll via a track ball.
Youāre on a Mac, you donāt have the problem. It is that when you turn the mouse wheel towards you (= downwards) Cubase scrolls to the left. But only on PC, not on Mac.
On the Mac you have the issue that pinch zoom doesnāt work, while it works just fine on PC.
You telling me above to get some other mouse or some additional software is like me telling you to get another trackpad if you want to pinch zoom.

I created a template with Maschine and 16 Audio out.
Iāve done the same for the Groove agent and Kontaktā¦
I just load the template when I start a project.
if I donāt think i need it. Then I just disable the vst and Hide the visibility of the tracks.
Iāve done that as well, but I am talking about a script so I can make multiple Maschine instancesā¦ one with 16, one with 4, etcā¦ so I can have a project with each of these in them.
Same for Kontakt multi-output

- Optimize Mediabay for power users with terabytes of audio samples & loops. When I open Mediabay it can be quite cumbersome. Alsoā¦ When I open Chord pads or a VST preset there can be 5 minute delay before the selection window populates with available optionsā¦ I believe this is because it is referencing the entire databaseā¦
-
Drag and Drop presets for Chord pads from the desktop. Letās face itā¦ Its is faster then Mediabay.
-
Batch Midi import. This should have been implemented 15 years agoā¦
-
Polyphonic midi extract.
-
As much as I hate to say thisā¦ an Ableton style Clip Launcher/Session View. This way it is faster to generate Idea and reference small changes.
-
Drag and drop midi into Chord pads to exact chord voicings. i know you can play them in with a midi keyboardsā¦ This is to save time for us guitaristsā¦
-
Chord pads to accept intervalsā¦ sometimes all you need is is interval harmonyā¦ Chord pads should be able to give us the option to play those with a single key stroke.

- True, full, complete, perfect ripple editing (talk with PG and examine WaveLab montages + Reaper for how good ripple editing is supposed to work)
- Ripple editing (reminder)
- More ripple editing (another reminder)
- Stability
- Bugfixes
- More stability and more bugfixes
- Inevitable bugfixes for ripple editing!
- Keep working on Dorico + Cubase integration - letās gooooooo!
- More good workflow stuff
- Improved articulation management system!
- Built-in LFO + envelope engine to automate any parameters so we donāt have to use Bitwig so often
- Perfect ripple editing (in case you forgot to do that)

Or instead of making Cubase like Ableton learn to use them for the benefits each provide >
Cubase will never be Ableton and Ableton will never be cubase & thatās a good thing (Ableton Liveschool Graduate/Masterclass teacher)

14 wish list ??? for all things Steinberg to become truly German again , including their shop . Canadians paying American conversion prices , give it a rest .
What does that mean, āto become truly Germanā?
Here is a wish that isnāt directed at any specific product, but rather at Steinberg as a company: transparency.
I believe that a certain amount of transparency regarding product development towards customers is beneficial for all parties. For customers, it instills a sense of community and trust from knowing that their voices are heard. In return, the company gains loyalty.
I think this forum/blog post by Matthew @ Native Instruments is an exemplary example of such and I applaud NI for choosing this path.

fix loosing sync in synced-folder-edit (broken for more than a decade, stole hundreds of hours fixing projects) THIS!! Itās so frustrating that group editing isnāt as reliable as in Pro Tools, where they have solved it years ago. thatās genuinely the only advantage Pro Tools has over Cubase for me.
-
option to choose all algos for variaudio.
-
sandbox plugins so they donāt crash cubase.

New track type: Combined Folder & Group Track
Ie. a folder track that has its own audio channel. Any track that is inside such a folder will be routed automatically to the Folder&Group channel. -
Remove strict audio routing for hardware - the current implementation inside studio > audio connections settings makes it impossible to quickly switch your I/O based on your project needs, one such example if you have two compressors which you sometimes wish to use as completely separate mono for different sources, or in dual mono or full stereo (the same two compressors in linked stereo mode). I have a patchbay where I can manually override this, but it would be nice to be able to quickly switch routing in Cubase for A/B purposes, but most of all so you can decide when to use something in mono or stereo and not have it fixed by the program.
Adding hashtags to plugins for searches, that way I can keep everything by vendor but also search for a hashtag i.e. All the plugins I use for #Vocals

I would really like something which would be purely creative.
Free running LFO that sits at the top of the plugin insert but the LFO can be assign to any plugin parameter. Maybe 5 LFOās could be available with options to change each the type of LFO and frequency and depth.

Similar thought here, but even one step beyond that:
Modernize/overhaul MIDI routing. Having only 4 MIDI sends and only for tracks of type MIDI in 2024. Really whatās the point/reason for such a limitation? Why not add a + button and provide the ability to add as many sends as you need? We need not one-to-four or one-to-five but one-to-many. You canāt even route midi from one midi track to another. Using something like IAC Driver Bus is not an option. Hereās the guy makes valid points regarding the inferior MIDI routing in Cubase. Itās hard to disagree:
The MIDI insert effects are very uninspiring and again weāve got only 4 MIDI inserts (who needs more indeed). For example the StepDesigner is too primitive. Velocity, Gate and two CC lanes are all itās got and no way to assign MIDI chanel per note in your pattern. It would be a nice creative tool for ostinatos had it some ways to route notes to tracks with different articulations. Something like a robust Euclidean sequencer (akin to Falconās one) would be a welcome addition as well.
The Quick Controls have to be turned into real macros with the ability to map multiple parameters from various Instruments and Effects. Hereās whatās possible in Logic:
I can map multiple parameters to the same knob and setup response curves for each parameter. For example I can have more resonance/delay/etc. in the middle of my knob travel and less at the beginning and the end. Itās a real creative thing. Nothing like this in Cubase.
Modulation capabilities beyond setting up MIDI-based lowres LFO via CC as demonstrated in one of the videos by Greg Ondo 5 years ago (some hilarious comments under that video on how āeasyā it is to set it up).
Negative delays per articulation in Expression Maps. Composers have been asking this for ages. Add more usability things to the expression map setup window.
PS: Please no more vocal chains, vocoders, vintage EQs, compressors.

Moving fader support that works.
Here is the only one thing at the moment
I wish for new Cubase :
Automation lines colors contrast etc. :
If Iām changing color scheme to light ādayā kind of scheme (which is better for my eyes, focus and creativity) I absolutely have no control to automation lines, they are barely visible against the background, whatever color of event I take.
I miss the old Cubase SX kind of automation lines, they were ugly, but noticeable as hell (similar to Ableton for example).
Steinberg needs to give us an option to choose contrast, sharpen or whatever it calls for automation lines.
Its impossible to use any of day themes, since you donāt see how automation lines are working.
Upd.
- Also mix console is a bit busy, I think itās time to make things more simple, or give an option to hide things that you donāt need.
- Lower panel (with playback buttons etc) , I donāt think I ever used this, why it takes so much space , give us an option to hide this panel.
Overall Cubase is being visibly busier and busier, too much information, we need an option to hide things, panels and buttons that we donāt need.
We are working with 16ā laptops and we want to see work area with events and automations more than panels, frames and windows 
PC: Alt + Ctrl + T
Mac: Opt + Cmd + T
