Building the perfect take has never been easier. Cubase 6 comes with a new Lane Track concept for lightning-fast multitake comping. Simply select the best parts of a take with a single click for the fastest way to perfection.

Maximum expression on every note
By taking VST to the next level, Steinberg is breaking new ground with Note Expression, introducing a revolutionary new way to create and edit multiple controller values directly on the note they belong to. Invaluable for demanding orchestral arrangements as well as cutting-edge electronic music, Note Expression reinvents the composer’s editing workflow and pushes the boundaries of what’s imaginable.

Make it dynamic
The VST Expression set has been extended and now also sports dynamics in the Key Editor. From pianissimo to crescendo and fortissimo — all dynamics from the Score Editor are available in the new Articulations/Dynamics Lane in the Key Editor.

VST Expression map on call
VST 3.5 compatible instruments can now automatically transfer the articulation setup of each individual instrument sound to a VST Expression map, the ultra fast and easy way.

Over 20 new MIDIcontrollable live and slice-based effects such as scratches, stutters and tape stops will get your beats onto the dance floors.

Work smarter, flow faster

Plenty of eye candy and snazziness
Cubase 6 features a significantly redesigned graphical user interface that not only looks good but makes the powerful features even more accessible. Color and contrast optimization minimize eye strain and viewing fatigue during extended viewing sessions, not to forget the revised Inspector for refined usability.

X64 support for Mac
The Cubase 64-bit version supports Mac OS X 10.6 64-bit to address more memory, which again allows for more tracks, plugins and easily lets you employ all the compatible libraries available on the market today.

Get a grip on
The Key Editor with its new inspector provides easy access to pivotal parameters, faster than ever before. New scaling tools for controller and automation data offer a highly intuitive and simultaneous editing of several events with an overall streamlined look and feel. The Quick Controls have been enhanced, including MIDI Learn mode and the ability to directly assign parameters of a VST 3 plug-in with a simple right-click of the mouse.
