Whilst not a music engraving tool as comprehensive as Steinberg stablemate Dorico, Cubase has been tweaked to produce better looking scores and workflow improvements when editing scores. Time to dive in and examine what improvements have been added, in particular for students and teachers alike. In the process of refining and adding new capabilities, Pro has a variety of time-saving features and new plugins, and the Artist and Elements editions contain significant new feature sets. How times have changed! What’s new in Cubase 11? Only a few years ago this would have been a respectable specification for a flagship DAW. What strikes me as a long-time computer musician is that even the most basic Elements version is extremely powerful, allowing 48 audio tracks, 64 midi tracks, nearly 50 audio plugins and over 1000 instrument sounds included. Education establishments with more than five licences get additional discounts by writing directly to Steinberg. All three editions have upgrade prices from earlier versions whether bought originally as an Educational product or not. Steinberg offer three flavours of Cubase 11 – Elements (currently £85, or Education Edition £57), Artist (£284, or Education Edition £172) and Pro (£499, or Education Edition £310). Its latest incarnation – Cubase 11 – adds a few more bells and whistles to what is already a comprehensive tool for music production.īuilding on a solid set of features on both Mac and PC platforms, we ask if the update is worth buying for existing users and if its a good choice for people venturing into the audio digital world for the first time. still a steep learning curve for newcomersĬubase has become one of the top choices for Digital Audio Workstations (DAWS) over recent years for professionals and students alike.lower priced versions have been significantly upgraded.
