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!”

I'm truly impressed - I never knew my Android phone could sound so good!! The MIDI DAW setup (clicking icons then moving a slider etc.) is a dream & so handy (especially if you record on a phone!). In fact, I'm writing this review after recording "Cry To Me" (from the Dirty Dancing movie) entirely in Cubasis 3 on my phone (including my vocals - singing into my phone!) it's on the internet, I'm sure you'll find it! Thanq for an amazingly powerful musical app.

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

At first glance it all seems much easier than FL studio. The help section is great too. The only thing is that I'm not sure whether it allows you to route to different outputs of an audio interface. This is is what I wanted it for (to route different groups of tracks to different outputs, so an engineer would be able to mix our backing tracks live) and at the moment not really sure whether it can do that or not.

Hi Chris, Thanks for your review and rating. As of yet, Cubasis is limited to stereo input/output unfortunately. Would it work to create Stems for your engineer? 1) Go to "Media/Mixdown" and tap "Create Mixdown". 2) Enable "Create separate files for tracks. Please let me know if this helps! Stay safe, Lars
