Cubasis: Digital Audio Workstation for iPad

Cubasis is a digital audio workstation (DAW) app designed for iPad. It allows users to record, edit, and mix audio and MIDI to create music productions. The interface is modeled after traditional DAWs and easy to use.

What is Cubasis?

Cubasis is a full-featured digital audio workstation (DAW) designed specifically for iPad. Developed by Steinberg, Cubasis allows musicians, producers, and podcasters to record, edit, and mix audio and MIDI on their tablet.

The Cubasis interface will feel instantly familiar to anyone who has used traditional DAW software like Cubase or Logic Pro. It features an arrangement window with audio and MIDI tracks, a mixer, and a virtual keyboard. The multi-touch capabilities of the iPad are leveraged to provide intuitive controls for editing audio waveforms, adjusting faders, and more.

While more limited than its desktop counterparts, Cubasis still offers a wide range of mixing capabilities including effects like reverb, delay, EQ, compression, and channel stripping. Audio can be exported when a project is finished. MIDI data can be exported to other apps and DAWs.

Cubasis allows for recording via the built-in iPad microphone, external USB audio interfaces, and Audiobus support. Virtual instruments and MIDI keyboards can be used to input notes and chords.

The streamlined Cubasis workflow makes it well-suited for songwriters and composers who want to be able to sketch out arrangements and produce basic mixes while on the go. More complex projects may require bouncing stems to a desktop DAW. With its reasonable price point and mobile capability, Cubasis puts basic music production well within reach for iPad users.
