What the users say about Cubasis 3 Digital Audio Workstation:

“It's Steinberg so you already know it's great, but this is by far my favorite audio recording DAW for mobile to date.”
Chrissa C.

“Excellent mobile DAW for recording anything. I'm using it primarily to demo and sketch song ideas before I take them into the studio. The recordings of guitar and vocals sound better than you would expect. I could see someone making a whole record on their phone with this. Also the development team is very responsive to feedback and will help you resolve any issues very quickly. I've always had a hard time recording into DAWs on my computer and this app just makes it so much easier!”

Three years ago, I wrote: "Hoping that future updates eventually make it a lot easier to use and a lot more rewarding." And it is much more rewarding, but still overpriced. I really wish it was more intuitive, too, as the time it takes to find the tool I want to use is stupid, but then I've always had a bad memory. Maybe a few pop-ups on the controls to identify them more easily would help, although i still think users have to take a few steps to do things where one would be preferable.

Hi Luuta, Thank you for your Cubasis review and rating. Please give our Getting started tutorial a try, to see if it helps to get familiar with Cubasis more quickly: https://youtu.be/KcFuk4z-eUQ. Stay safe and sound & best wishes, Lars

I add a new star as the issue I had is fixed on the new version. But, as an user of cubase pro, I expect to be able to export exactly same result from cubasis to cubase pro. (same sound, same tempo) but it is not the case. if you change the tempo of a sample in Cubasis, you will have to do manually in Cubase pro after the import which is quite annoying.

Hi Seb Oiso, Thank you for your review and sorry for my late reply (your review has been overlooked for some reason). Please update Cubasis 3.8.1 which should resolve your problem. Please let me know if you are able to download the free piano and effect now. Thanks in advance and warm greetings, Lars

I really want to give it a higher review, but the fact that you can't access the mixedown files without exporting them to a 3rd party to then have to download them from that 3rd party is a huge workflow nightmare. If FL mobile can do it so can Cubasis, the question becomes why are they deliberately making it so difficult. It's a completely different experience on an apple device. It's a huge missed opportunity for Steinburg.

Please check the MediaBay chapter in the help (https://www.steinberg.help/r/cubasis/3.8/en/cubasis/topics/mediabay_android_storage_location_r.html) to learn more about file handling. Best, Lars
