Over the years, as one does, I checked Garageband, Logic, Live, Studio One and Tracktion (Waveform), but none of them can do what Cubase can do for me.

Not forgetting XG Works by Yamaha, which worked with their DSP based soundcards like SW1000XG and DSP Factory (DS2416). You could connect both soundcards together or have two DSP Factory cards in tandem, giving a huge mixer with everything processed on the card, and a powerful PC was not needed. They released another DAW called SOL2 and that had VST support and builtin virtual XG MIIDI Synth and other FX plugins / vocal pitch correction etc. The SW1000XG could handle 12 audio tracks and all FX and MIDI on the card, using no CPU from the host computer. This was a huge deal in the late 1990s, when most PCs were slow and underpowered.

I've been with Cubase since v1 on Atari. Before it could handle audio, I synced it to an eight track Fostex R8 reel-to-reel tape recorder with a special sync box. The sync signal stole one track, but having seven audio tracks felt like a lot back then. It worked well but it was a bit frustrating to wait for the tape to fast forward or rewind to the right place. I skipped the Cubase Audio era on Mac and went to Cubase VST on Windows when it was released. From then on, I've upgraded continuously and today I run Cubase Pro 12 on Windows. I have briefly tried other DAWs but the only one I can seriously consider switching to is Studio One, or perhaps Luna, but then I'd have to change to Mac.

It was collecting dust in a closed, it was the first computer at my firm to use a kind of AutoCad. It had midi in and out, and I got Cubase from a friend. It had an external HD of...... 20MB, as big as a shoebox. Since 2002 I am a Mac and GarageBand fan! A lot has happened!

Loved seeing the super old versions - you can really chart some of the UI decisions they made back then to subtle elements in today's Cubase. Exactly what I was looking for the other day: a way to recap the history and especially this past decade before diving into the latest version. Steinberg's contributions to the audio production industry can't be understated, and you've summarized it amazingly here. So many nice parallels to their impact on gaming hardware, too. 🙂

Round about 1994, I realised you could build a PC music studio with the right combination of software and hardware. So I set about building one. It used a program called Software Audio Workshop (SAW) synced to Cakewalk midi via a SMPTE-generating card (this was the code that synced audio to visuals in movies). So I had 127 sounds onboard my Turtle Beach sound card that I could play and record via midi, combined with four tracks of digital audio. This was my home-made DAW. To record your stuff without the aid of a studio was a big deal then. Then Cubase VST arrived and instantly offered what I was trying to achieve. Of course, everything is up to a professional standard now, so it's difficult to describe how game-changing that was. Needless to say, I dumped my SAW and SMPTE and embraced the new DAW. A few years later, there was Reason and I began to dump hardware too.

I wasn't aware of the long history of Cubase, and Steinberg has been owned by Yamaha since 2005. My first DAW was Logic (I think a SE--not totally pro version) on Windows - in 2000 or so. Then... they were about to discontinue offering Logic for Windows and that's when I heard of Steinberg - they were offering an insanely cheap crossover offer for the full version of SX 1. Later I upgraded to SX 3, then 6, then 11, then 12. Haven't used any other DAW since then. Part of it is budget, but mainly I'm just so used to it, and love it.

It's hard to explain to modern day musicians how completely and utterly fragmented music composition software was, 40 years ago. Cubase represented a clean break from pattern based sequencing (which we first got on keypads via the MC-8, and via interactive display on Fairlight CMI Series II Page R), into something that could be used to score complex compositions, without needing to resort to a music composition language (Fairlight had MCL, and Synclavier had a musical event language which could decompile something played into the memory recorder). In a nutshell, programs like Cubase brought what us professionals had been using on much more expensive dedicated systems, onto a microcomputer that we could have at home and at the studio, and that was liberating; especially once direct-to-disk recording became feasible in the mid 1990s on micros. Cubase also had the complex MIDI transformation modes, which could be used to do _VERY_ complex real time transformations of MIDI data. I used it, for example, to breathe additional life into algorithmic sequences written in the "M" sequencer ("M" was an early algorithmic sequencer), to change their timings, make them feel more human.

@AdamGotheridge Жыл бұрын

Hard to remember that long ago, but I think I had Cubase 1 on a PC. PC was problematic, so I bought a Mac to run cubase (pre audio versions). I ran that with a Foster R8 8-track reel which had a SMPT thing on it.. basically you could run timecode out of midi into it and the reel to tell would chase and sync. Like you'd select a position or go to a locator, the real would start spinning to locate, then play, then cubase would play. It was flawless! Recorded some fun, good stuff with that setup. Since have upgraded basically every step of the way (wonder how much I've put into that product over time). When I finally got to the audio versions, I sort of gave up because everything sounded like crap to me. Enter UA plugins in early 2000's and it seemed there was hope for DAW's being able to produce something which sounded decent. Anyway, still using Cubase (current version), through I've tried and still use sometimes other things like logic for whatever, but Cubase is kind of home to me. BTW, the logical editor was pretty much complete even way back at version 1. Sort of a mathematical way to look at midi and do something with it. I should get a cubase plaque or something! Cool video, thanks.

I remember playing with cubase in the mid 90s on a Mac IIsi. I only had the demo though and used to use mod tracker programs instead.

I had Cubase 1.0 on my Atari 1040STE, Cubase Score 2.0 on my Windows 95 machine, Cubase Audio on my Windows 98 machine with a Yamaha CBDX-5 thingy. I'm now using Logic Pro on a Mac, but I still love Cubase, even though their hardware dongles were spawned by Satan herself. $0.02

I first used Cubase with Cubase Compact edition - on Windows for Workgroups 3.11 - yup. We had a 33Mhz 486 processor and 8MB of ram. The other machine, which was slaved by midi, ran a card for a 4 channel hardware recorder called SoundScape which was rock solid. The other machine had a 25Mhz 486 processor and 4MB of ram. What i discovered from other people was that because of the OS differences WRT timing Cubase ran much better on an Atari. But we didn't have one.

I tried Nuendo after FL, Ableton, Studio One and bitwig. Guys, it’s endgame. You can control entire harmony of your project by using chord track. It did not crashes as Ableton does. Everything is logical and works as expected. The more I use it, the more I get blown away by its capabilities. You can press one button to insert your performance into timeline, without setting it up first, or finding if in context menus, it’s just here, recording everything that you do. No more worries about loosing your idea. Assigning hardware MIDI keyboard buttons to software playback buttons? It’s possible. Cubase is fast, reliable, and packed with features
