I don’t mind A.I. for restoration, such as denoise, etc… that’s great. But I’d much rather generative A.I. is only included in a dedicated Cubase version, and kept well away from Cubase Pro. Maybe ‘Cubase A.I.’ or ‘Cubase For Chancers’… but please if you must poison Cubase Pro, at least make it optional during installation, so people who write their own music can completely reject it.
Agreed.
I have been utilizing chatbot to great success alongside Cubase to do many things such as creating presets, working with Halion, expression maps, troubleshooting, support, etc.
I’m not sure ‘integrating’ these things other than support and troubleshooting would be a great idea.
I let them know, in no uncertain terms, how I felt about AI inclusion in Cubase. Let’s see if enough others feel the same and they listen.
The bottom line for me is that music making has fully split between the music industrial complex and the artisan, crafty music making community that I inhabit.
The former is mass content production, while the latter is all about the love of the process of making things.
Industrial farming is also highly unrelated to gardening.
Steinberg should be to music making what Gardena is for gardening.
Very nicely said

Steinberg still can’t fix scrolling issues on Mac version 8 years later. And they’re trying to attempt AI 
I was trying to fill out the form when just a little bit of AI thought moving my cursor meant I wanted to open a new tab. The survey got mad about it and warned that I couldn’t fill it out in two tabs. Then I had to start over, having lost all my answers and comments.
I closed the browser instead.
For posterity, I didn’t prioritize AI - at all.
Workflow and bugs got 70+ percent of my un-submitted allocation.
AI for suggestions & cleanup - maybe.
AI replacing the creative process - well wheres the fun in it?
For me, AI in Cubase/Nuendo is not a priority at all. More like the small weird experiment i can play with when i want to.
Give me Linux support or integrate the custom preset-managers of modern VSTs into Media Bay - now THAT would be a big thing.
I do not care at all for AI, I am still a fan of NI (Natural Intelligence).
I don’t think it’s that at all. I think they are trying to acertain weather or not the need for prompt-making-based music has any merit within the community.
I must admit. I am disappointed in Steinberg that they even asked, tbh.
A BIG NO from me… If they take that route, I hope all “AI Stuff” will come as seperate installers NOT included in the primary Cubase app/installer (like that vocal thingy).
I basically told them that my very long journey with Cubase would come to an abrupt end if they include AI, I will not upgrade. They must have gotten a lot of negative feedback when they were gauging interest in a subscription model, and they responded well, they actually wanted to please their customers! Here’s hoping that they will respond wisely to what I suspect will be a 95% extremely negative response to AI in Cubase.
the only AI integration in Cubase I would appreciate is editing. So it can do complex tasks like: “swap chorus 1 and chorus 4” .
or “insert 8 bars from second half of bridge at bar 44 and shift everything forward”
I must admit, if Suno based AI will be integrated, I will research alternatives and will leave Steinberg.
It’s a deal breaker for me.
Agree with ensoniq_ts10 “AI” doing the unpleasant heavy work may be helpful (like: gain staging the whole project, routing and grouping all tracks contextually, set up all sends, color tracks by name/content, suggest phase corrections / issues in project, bounce all instrument/midi tracks, etc) the macros are doing similar tasks but they are not easy to setup, same with “logical editor” …
But still it will be a lot better to fix all the small annoying bugs before talking “AI” … lets leave the so called “AI” for the accountants for now 
Please. There’s really no need to throw shade like this.
Didn’t they present different areas of usage for AI in that survey? You sound like they asked if Cubase should become Suno.
You are right. However they also asked if the person taking the survey would like to see prompt based functions for composition
Utterly disappointing.
