  • Audio editing stopped working

    By iamnotnewhereami
    When I hilite a piece of audio and it opens up the editing bay the problem starts. The little triangles won’t move from the beginning and end so any changes I want to make apply to the whole piece. I can’t trim any specific parts, I can only fade in or out the whole audio clip. I can move the little triangles on the skinny bar above that that allows me to loom in on the audio but the other triangles won’t move anymore. All the other functionality works but I can only apply it to the whole part. So, unless I’m normalizing it’s pretty much useless. ..and I’m using Cubasis 2 instead of 3 that I bought for $50 bucks because 3 crashes all the time, usually within the first five minutes of any project, even simple ones with like 3 or 4 audio tracks and a few midi tracks that are all syncopated so not stressing the iPad…Meanwhile version 2 used to do fine with much bigger projects. I’m running a 1st gen iPad Pro 12.9 inch, the last one with the audio jack (btw special considerations for the iPads with the jack would make a lot of people happy) Please help with this audio problem, I’ve bought some in app purchases so it would be a shame to lose close to $100 just off you guys. If 3 crashes and I can’t edit audio in 2, it’s some alternative like BeatMaker 2or3 which work fine. And if you sort this out maybe you can help me to export projects to Cubase. I picked Cubase because compatibility. The iPad was my gateway to music production.
  • So sad

    I literally just bought this 10 mins ago not even realizing there is Cubasis 3. Now I can’t refund this or even pay the difference to rather buy Cubasis 3. So sad. I have to pay all over again for 3
  • NO LOYALTY!!!

    I’ve paid for this app I believe twice now but for I spent $50 for this Cubase 2 and being that you guys came out with cubase 3 it’s sad you don’t offer a discount to loyal customers who have already giving u $50 for this version. Now people who have never givin your company $1 arguably get a better version for free with cubase 3 LE than us paying customers get for our $50 with cubase poo I mean 2. Almost all major software offers a discounted upgrade version for there new software. I hope your company can make it into the big leagues like these companies who are smart enough to understand what loyalty to existing customers and making sure your core customers keep coming back and are always happy with your latest product is worth.

    After so many years owning this I can’t believe I don’t have access to iPhone version since all other apps like NanoStudio and others have universal versions. Pandemic has crushed all of us. So don’t tell me about poor developers who at least have jobs. Many of us lost ours. But using this app for years I have to re buy same app full price for iPhone version. Not cool. I normally don’t put negative reviews but this is a huge company who did the wrong thing and messed up. Many people who use Cubasis and were ever going to get Cubase now didn’t be of having to rebuy entire app no discount for iPhone version. Maybe you will grandfather us long time Cubasis users for YEARS so we can have iPhone version. Then I can remove this.
  • Screen problems

    By Jrun66
    I recently updated to iOS 14.4 on my 12.9” 2nd generation iPad Pro with 512 gig capacity. Now when I go into Cubasis 2 and try to use a Waves plugin (which I purchased them all except the newest) the daw goes away and all I see is the plugin. Black screen above the plugin. When I use my fingers to “pinch” the screen, I see everything but can’t control anything. Suggestions? Jim
  • Next logical step up from Garageband

    4
    By Rick57
    Have been trying out a couple apps in recent weeks in an effort to expand my mobile recording skills beyond iOS Garageband and this is the app I’ve decided to start learning and using. I tried n-Tracks Studio 9 and liked their interface but that app sounded terrible when recording audio tracks. I’ve actually had this app on my iPad a good while but couldn’t seem to quit messing with Garageband, so after the disappointing results with n-Tracks, I decided to give Cubasis another try and it sounds great. Garageband has SO many bad-sounding and useless virtual instruments (I still think the Alchemy Synth sounds were MUCH better before Apple bought them) and Cubasis’ virtual offerings seem to be much more impressive from the ones I’ve tried so far. And it records audio tracks beautifully. 4 stars for now until I’ve had more time kicking the tires with it, but I’m looking forward to doing a lot of recording with this.
  • The Best iOS DAW Ever!

    I’ve had Cubasis 2 for some years now. But it’s a beast hands down. I can make some really good starters of ideas as far as production and export it to Ableton or Maschine 2 to complete the production. The workflow is just so smooth. Even the factory effects are decent. I love it!
  • Better than 3

    This is my updated review after using for over a year.I really like this version. I tried cubasis 3. But asked and got my refund from Apple, because Whatever issues i had previously with 2.8 were small compared to cubasis 3. I like the new interface and it seems smoother but not without glitches and new changes that are pointless. Some things like scrolling in piano roll you have to get used to . Its like learning a new DAW. The new improvements like fine editing are ok but not worth the 50 bucks. So i will stick with 2.8 until they figure out why their review ratings are going down to 3.2. And make the necessary improvements and build on what was working , not merely change just for the sake of change.

    Scamming people and saying it’s a new app built from the ground up, no need to use this product anymore.
