Cubasis 3 PDC broken

Hi all,

PDC is still on our list!

Best,
Lars

Thanks for the response Lars, that’s good to know at least… although, scrolling up to the beginning of this thread, I notice that was also the case back in January 2020(!)

After nearly 3 years on the list, it must be getting pretty close to the top by now, surely?! :wink:

This needs implementation ASAP!!! My desktop friends are mocking all my life desicions for this! Make C4 as lean and slick as possible, with PDC, pretty please my guys. Would be worth a full update, but should really be standard. This might hold alot of potential customers off, you of course are aware of, as it’s an essential tool for some sounds.

Ha! I get the same comments. “Get a real DAW.” “Stop playing with your iPad!” And the like.

I ignore. I can pop open my iPad on the train or a plane and work on my music. That’s much harder with a “real” DAW on Windows or a Mac.

I was really hoping this would be implemented in the latest 3.5 update.

We have a bunch of iOS DAWs available with PDC (NanoStudio 2, Auria Pro, Audio Evolution Mobile, Roland Zenbeats) all with no multi-core support.

Then we have a single DAW available with multi-core support (Cubasis) but… No PDC!

C’mon Cubasis, don’t let those other DAWs push you around with their fancy ‘PDC capabilities’ - quickly get this implemented, then you can claim your crown as the best DAW on iOS!

Hello @LSlowak !
May I kindly ask you how things are going with the PDC feature?

I can’t understand why this has been ignored for several years, although it is a basic feature that all users who use plug-ins need. :thinking:

Now that it’s 4 years and 4 months later on the “to-do list”, has this been resolved or should I be looking to purchase a different iOS DAW to use Fabfilter plugins on individual channels with lookahead limiting and compression? I’m getting ready to buy either Cubasis 3 or something else that has plugin delay compensation.

This feature has not been implemented yet. :crazy_face:

Part of the 10-year-plan I guess. Cubasis 7.

Wow i just saw Zenbeats 3 has PDC AND MIDI learn/automation recording for hardware controllers.
All its missing is multi core support

CB4? lol if i dont see PDC and midi learn with cb3, why upgrade again?

I think I waited too long to get a refund. I guess I’ll make it my mission to warn others of this product that I soaked so much money into, including the internal add-ons.

I own other DAWs on PC. I was thinking of getting Cubase after a few others has shown me how they produced music with it, but after buying into Cubasis, I’m glad I never bought Cubase.

You’d think the same company that makes Cubase would give the same attention to Cubasis, unless Cubase also don’t have PDC?

Hi gregt,
If you compare the expensive price of Cubase v the cheaper price of Cubasis, then perhaps you will understand why Cubase is obviously superior :wink: it’s just that Cubasis on iPad can be used anywhere and in my opinion to a professional level :metal:

Welcome to the Cubasis family :+1:

If you own an iPad I assume you have a Mac: for that Logic is the only solution.

However CB3 isn’t a waste. In fact it’s the second best DAW on iOS.

You’re right though - PDC, MIDI Learn, And Tempo/time signature track are necessary to truly to be professional level

(Ill say this: TB has a low latency mode; try enabling that)

Mike is right

Cubasis is an EXCELLENT choice, and I hope using it you’ll find a solution and/or the updates come soon

Check out my thread about “June 2024” and you’ll see it’s got a lot of votes as I outlined what this daw needs and what it could add to be competitive with Logic

Anyway Cubasis 3 is fantastic / enjoy it

Don’t be upset - it’ll be updated (we hope)

No matter how you dice it. I am making it my daily mission to go to reddit discussions, discord, YouTube channels, etc warning people about the missing PDC issue, since they won’t add it. Planning to add it for years = will not add it. One person can make a difference! <I wish someone would have warned me before I bought it!>

I only have this iPad as my first reason was to do art, but then i thought I could make music laying down instead of sitting up at a desk on my ASUS windows 10 music studio. I have been debating on getting Teamviewer running or something like VNC to remote connect to my studio machine and then use it laying down. I’m now really thinking that would be better than the wasted time and money on Cubasis!

LoL… the only way they’ll update it is when the bad press forces them to… when this starts to affect Cubase, will it affect the bottom line. Either they remove Cubasis or update it to have PDC.

Damn man
Well let me recommend Zenbeats 3
You can’t run as many plugins at once but it should be ok
It has PDC and Midi learn
And it also has loop recording /Ableton style
