The world needs more upbeat people like you.

Yep. I’ve been using Beatmaker 3 and Cubasis for several years now. I also know billboard songs and Grammy nominated songs that have been created only on the iPad or iPhone.

I love this channel. One of those that makes youtube worthwhile.

I don't even have an iPad but I'm obviously going to watch this. 🤟

Bought Cubasis just yesterday, was looking for something just like (exactly) like this and I have it today from someone who's channel I look out for every day hoping for a new amazing video. Thanks a lot, sir, you are a great inspiration for me!.

The only thing I would recommend and suggest if you want to use Cubasis is use a stylus/Apple Pencil. It makes navigation and editing less frustrating. Newer iPads do support mouse and trackpads so that’s good too. When I’m on the go, sometimes I’ll take a 25 keyboard or Fishman midi guitar, a usb converter and usb hub to connect storage, dongles, midi transmitter, audio interface (maybe) and headphones. I recorded a client using his midi drums, vocals, fishman midi guitar for guitar and bass as well as keys. Went to my studio and transferred it to Nuendo. Cubasis is very handy, just need less fatty fingers.

You are always so entertaining! Thanks for your continued contribution to the smiles on our faces!

My studio is built around my ipad (an ipad mini 5 actually) using cubasis3 and it works great. Looks funny with a small ipad, but runs everything (61key midi controller, akai mpd16 for drums using pro acoustic drum samples, steinberg interface, 1Tb external HD, and a usb mouse. All plugged into a powered USB hub). Using apps like isymphonic for orchestral parts. I’m on a budget, but the end product possibilities are anything but budget sounding. 😃

You can plug a small midi keyboard in to the iPad using the usb adaptor and then it becomes much easier. I do this with GarageBand when I’m traveling. You can then import the raw idea in to Logic when you get back to your studio DAW.

It may well be very good, but when I'm not working on my main desktop workstation, I still want to be able to use a proper library, open a proper DAW, and use all the same tools I have on the desktop for compatability. Have a Surface Pro 6, fanless, 8GB RAM, 128 SSD, Windows 10, you can get them for £600 in the sales, proper USB support etc, and I can't see anything turning my head away from that for portability and compatability.

Yes you can. I can knock out one decent backing track with about 2 days work on an ipad with cubasis.

thank you.. but I'll stick to garage band or even roland zenbeats, which are free..

This video is good but I would suggest to get a Rode Wireless Go for better mic....

As a side note, Steinberg are very keen on updating and incorporating user suggestions and input. Updates are super fast and furious AND useful. You can now group channels which was not available in Cubasis 2; a must have when mixing an entire orchestra!

Guy, your entering a whole new world here. Ive been in the IOS music community for many years. I have beta tested many of the new music , and sound design apps that get released. great music apps in AU and inter app audio format can be chained and used together. I have Cubasis and rarely ever use it. there are many other great apps. I pretty much Run and sync and link all apps and midi sequencers etc. in an App called AUM check it out I think you will like it a lot. if you have any questions let me know. it’s so fun

I scored music for an entire film (93 min) using Cubasis 2 and 3 on an iPad 5th gen. So, ya...it's a thing. Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is a must-have for scoring in Cubasis. It's incredible.

The Gorillaz had made the album ‘the fall’ on their iPad 2 in the year 2010

I thought your ice cream was a rose in the begining haha

Good review. Recently got an iPad Pro 2020 myself, and just got Cubasis 3 as a companion app to my PC version (not a Mac and never will), but honestly this thing works quite well. Although there are still some smaller bugs (very randomly tracks refuse to play - just close other apps then) which will be ironed out eventually. And you can import your stuff into your Mac/PC version (needs the Cubasis Importer setup, which is available on the Steinberg homepage), It replaces the mobile instruments with GM MIDI stuff on the PC, but that should be no big deal to change those quickly. As for spitting out ideas, this seems to work great. Now I just need to think if I should invest into the Apple Pencil as well, as for instance moving the locators by fingers can be a small hassle.

You should check out the StaffPad app for iPad. It's something I've been looking into and it seems absolutely amazing (for those of us who like to write music with pen and paper.) It has built-in sample player featuring libraries from Spitfire, Cinesamples, Orchestral Tools and more, all reworked to work on iPad.

The challenge is now on for Michael to create some really proper music on just the iPad. Oh and not over a week but on a day train trip or day at the beach etc.

I love you because you are a Cubase user! I love you even more for trying out my fav DAW - Cubasis!!

Yes you can. I use other programs and wrote full arrangements on my iPad.

I stared recording and mixing on my iPhone and I’m starting to get really good resorts.

I was in trouble because I didn't know how to operate the iPad. UP Thank you.

You are a top drawer bloke !! Love your attitude and upbeat nature. Well done !!

Fantastic as usual...! Thank you very much Master of Masters...! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Greetings from Mexico

I have lot off music production apps for Ipad, mostly instruments, chords cheaters and mangle effects, but cubasis, and other daws are not good for mixing inside Ipads.

I just want Apple to port Logic over to iPad, or at least support AU instruments in GarageBand

I got a sharpy marker but it does not seem to write on iPads to well

That fact is you need a Bluetooth midi keyboard, perhaps a 49 or 61 key preferably, foldable ones even better if there ever exists in the market. You can then take them anywhere and start jotting ideas. You should then import them onto Cubase and do serious work there.

Nice one, guy! Have StaffPad for the iPad but I haven’t yet messed around with Cubasis. Thanks a mil!

Hello. Glad to see you so happy with Cubasis 3... Did you (or anyone here) face the problem with crashes? I've bought full version and the same day I had a little 1h session with one of my students... And in this hour Cubasis 3 crashed... 6 times.... Is this normal?

I dont understand why they cant just put cubase on the ipad, im so sick of those weird mobile versions of daws like why? We live in 2022 and still not possible to work like on a pc on an ipad

I down loaded a version of Cubase for the Ipad a few years ago and it wasn't the best. However, like everything things move on. Great video.

This is an awesome recording app but I still don’t understand how Steinberg priced V3 at $50 because I can’t see how it’s that much different from V. 2, which I’m still using. When it goes on sale at 50% off again, I may spring for it but even that seems over-priced if you already bought V.1 or 2. 🤬

Great video! Now if only Cubase on desktop looked as great and modern as Cubasis, I really like the interface :)

Just splurged a little stupidly on this just on the spur, I got the $35. (USA) version, which I think was the "premiere" version in the Apple store. Hey, I was lucky to happen on this review 1st, lol. You're one of the cooler reviewers yet; you made me giggle, lol. And you clarified a couple of things, very good, guy! Having just got it, I'll say str8 away that it's the most "DAW-like" app I've seen for iPad so far. Garageband would be great if they didn't impose the weird time restrictions. Idk how long my "song" (*koff koff* noise slab 🙄) is going to be. What am I, Kreskin? And it has DAW-like accoutrements; actual mastering limiters, mixer channels, EQs, compressors...I'm a hard Joe Meek poseur; gotta have my compressors... even tape/tube warmer-uppers. Can't wait to have time to go exploring it in depth. Sorry yakking too much. Music gear is fascinating all round, lol, makes me giddy. Greetings from Texas. 😁

Ok, but I still don't get why this app costs like a desktop daw? What you've shown can be done in garage band which is free.

Application 'Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip VST 3' has caused the following error: eLicenser(s) contain(s) no valid license for this application. Options: - For troubleshooting information click . - Click to view available licenses. - Connect a valid eLicenser and click . - Click to abort. the mic doesnt work , or the whole device doesnt work just because of this.

The iPad is more expensive than the 16 GB ram gaming laptop I use for working and for music.

One suggestion, pick a drum part first, unless you have a riff that just spontaniusly came to you. this helps when making a loop for rhythm and timing

Just got this app yesterday as it seems to be reduced in price, its certainly workable however I did just order a stylus to use for editing the midi notes which is a bit clumsy just using your fingers.

Thanks guys, a goodie for an old Steinberg 16 user :)

Kelts in Turkey? Actualy, yes. Around 270 BC they invaded what is known today as Galatia, a Turkish province.

hi can you tell me how cubasis scribe for string or Orchestral,thanks .i find it not work when I scribe at Modulation part

Unlike FL Studio Mobile, does it have multi-Part (track) selection in piano roll? This is essential if you work with piano roll exclusivly.

Now, it is not fair to compare the onscreen keyboard of the iPad with your computer, that has several mechanical keyboards attached. To compare, either play the keyboard on the computer screen with your mouse, or attach you mechanical keyboard to the iPad! Also, it is not fair to compare the meager stuff within CuBasis to you desktop sound and effect library. To compare, better use better additional Apps as IAA or AU plugin, for example the piano App Ravenscroft 275 Piano and lots and lots of other fantastic stuff!

I think cubasis 3 is broken on ios 14 on the ipad. I can’t record anything when using sampletank as an interapp device,I see level on the mixer but when in recording mode,there is no midi or audio files recorded. Lost to what I have to do to grt it recording,the tracks are armed as well. Prefer just using a daw on my PC,Apple very flaky,PC takes anything you throw at it.

i am using it with the special iRIG PRO DUO. perfect stuff for the field recordings

Henny Tha business: Hold my beer

This guy gets KZfaq. Just discovered him. He rocks!!!!

Wait until developers port their iOS/iPadOS apps back to desktop with the new architecture Apple is going to introduce, LOL. Not sure about other apps but you would definitely see Cubasis on desktops!

i remember the very first incarnation of cubasis, it was truly woeful

Thanks for the overview, have heard a lot of people recommending Cubasis 3 now!

That phaser on the mouth percussion was actually going somewhere.

Good video but disappointing app that makes punching impossible to do with any efficiency. In short, every time your re-record over a new section (punch in or just doing it manually) the prior recorded layer (event) is kept active. Then on playback you get all re-recorded layers playing back at once, with no way to mute them, or exclude from mix down. This is one of the most bizzare oversights in design of a DAW I have come across. In short if you need to edit recordings by re-recording sections or doing punches, DO NOT get this app.

The first thing I notice in every Cuba’s is demo is their eyes being dragged all over the place by these hidden icons instead of just clicking on the clip of audio or midi . And nothing ever seems “locked” because of the minutia of navigating these objects on the entire circumference of the timeline. It’s the fidgety protocols that kill my work flow deader than dead. It’s too needy. Peace Christo👽

Great app GUY now i don't need to rely on 60 free days DAW whenever I need to travel xD

LOL 😂 at 2:07.

Can you save/ load files from external drive? My iPad storage is limited, and will be mixing around 10GB wav files. My next option is laptop, using Reaper. Thanks

Just wait a couple years when the Macs get a change to the processors. With the same chip running in the computers and iPad it would be REALLY easy to have full desktop applications on the iPad (Ableton/Maschine/FL) That is if Apple allows it which there has been no word on that (which I have seen anyway); I really wish they do allow it as iPads outsell Macs by a huge margin. I want an iPad with a quick dock station where I don't have to plug anything in just set it down/in and its all connected. Have that go to two monitors and usb hub and that's the home setup. Need to go on a trip grab the iPad and a controller powered through USB C and run the full version of Ableton/Maschine/Logic Pro/FL whatever your flavor. No need for the "is it a real daw" as it would be the same as the desktop version.

Can i import audio there and edit it? Are these VST instruments actually included in software?

Audio and mixing is good in cubase But programming is much easier on fl studio

how can we import multiple audio files from mediabay to the project in cubasis? I got stems from a client which have 40 stems and i have to drag it individually from the audio foler in mediabay to the project which is frustrating!!

I like the look of this app but it’s limited as far as sound design which is a must for real producers. Beat maker 3 is far better. It’s like REASon for iPad

Guy, try opening an orchestral midi file with Cubasis, see what you think.

Great for a sketchbook, can you transfer the projects in to Cubase in your studio?

GUUUUUUY! Move the mic away from yer head, you blowin' inta my ears, dude.

Cool vid. Verry useful 👍🙏

50 quid for the android version. Considering how close in price cubase elements is to cubasis 3, do they compare feature wise?

How does Cubasis 3 app compare with free GarageBand for iPad?

Can you get kontakt and other vst ?

You could still connect a midi keyboard to the ipad by using a camera adapter

out of context Guy, have you *any* recomendation for Linux DAW's? thanks and cheers from Portugal

I've never believed English men and now... it's not an exclusion! ))

Yes you can, also with Korg Gadget 2, and even write scores with the BBC Symphonic Orchestra and other industry standard libraries with #StaffPad 😁

Cubasis is for the mobile platforms only.

i agree guy, good luck playing Rachmaninoff on an iPad screen keyboard

great video!

I am not a musician, i Pad or Cubase owner/user - But I love your energy. PS could you send one of those lollies along the coast. Boy it's close.

Check out Doug at the soundest room, for all you need to know about making music on an iPad. I recorded my last accordion and bagpipe cd just on iPad. Also get a camera connection kit to allow to plug an audio interface and midi keyboard in, via a powered usb hub. Check out isymphonic for top orchestral sounds, and also notion for score writing which uses sounds sampled from the London symphony orchestra.

yes! One for the iPad!

Cubasis is nice for a few things. I use it for rehearsing musicals. Send the new mic back. ;)

Please do this but with staffpad

So glad you done this... I've been using cubasis 2 for around 4 years and done many songs... adding plug ins help. great video guy....you may find one or two bits on my channel if you want to take a look guy?.. 🙏

im just curius, does it have a function like you can draw a chord instantly on the midi?

How's the stream deck working?

I think the biggest determinant of this is Apple's shift to a new chip architecture. All of the plugin developers will translate their VSTs to work on the new stuff, which then will make it hypothetically possible to run all of the same plugins on the iPad in a couple of years.

I’m 41 but you feel younger than me 😄

The audio from that headset mic is shocking!

So much mic noise! Great content as always but this time it was such a relief on the ears when it stopped.

Can you help me. I am late with this comment. I yesterday got the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Same time the book from Walter Piston Orchestration, what will be very difficult to read for me because i speak no english. Means reading and translation take decades. I search since a longer time the Sound of a flute with a Double tounge like Ian Anderson from Yethro Tüll ( Lokomotive Breath). Maybe you know a resource and make a flute special for double tounge with the flute. I guess a Lot of Fans understand and love a review because this technique is crazy and still popular. Thanks in advance Daniela.

Celtic Oud Boomchika!

Great presentation style! God bless

I would love Cubasis on iPad if you could look at your plugins to adjust things. It's quite useless.

Bum boom chiken chicka

👏🏻 Bravo
