New effects and instruments are covered by the VST Bass Amp with a collection of great- sounding amplifiers, cabinets and effects pedals, the Quadrafuzz v2 distortion processor, Multiband Expander, Multiband Envelope Shaper as well as an improved DeEsser, Multiband Compressor and Tuner. UI enhancements in both new Cubase versions include window docking for the VST Instrument Rack and MediaBay, a redesigned Track List and Inspector for improved readability, a new plug- in manager for easy customization, global workspaces and a flexible window layout for PC versions. The new MIDI tempo detection identifies recordings on MIDI tracks that are out of sync and aligns these with grid and tempo track. The circle of fifths helps understand the theory behind these rules. New Chord Assistant modes provide chord suggestions related to a specified reference chord by taking harmonic rules into account. Chord pads are an extension of the chord track first introduced in Cubase 7, allowing users to trigger chords and change voicing and tension through MIDI parameters on any record-enabled MIDI or instrument track. Another addition to automation tools is virgin territories, omitting redundant automation data between automated events.īoth Pro and Artist versions now offer render in-place capability, which will come as very welcome news.Ĭhord pads, Chord Assistant modes and MIDI tempo detection are introduced to the creative feature set in Cubase Pro 8 and Cubase Artist 8. Taking it a step further is the Combine VCA fader automation feature, which combines the VCA fader automation curve with that of a controlled fader or fader groups. The all-new VCA faders emulate the control of channel gain with DC voltage, moving an entire fader group through a single master fader. This extends the buffering ASIO-Guard to improve the audio processing performance for multi-timbral and disk-streaming instrument tracks.įeatures that are exclusive to Cubase Pro 8 are VCA faders and virgin territories. The new Cubase range has undergone a performance boost thanks to an entire rebuild of the audio engine. The Pro suffix represents the evolution of Steinberg’s award-winning music production system.

Steinberg have today announced the immediate availability of Cubase Pro 8 and Cubase Artist 8.
