Cubase 16 is the latest version of its digital audio workstation for songwriting, beat making, electronic music production,
recording, and professional composition, with powerful new creative tools and significant workflow improvements.
Used by musicians, songwriters, producers, and composers across a wide range of musical styles, Cubase combines powerful tools for recording, MIDI sequencing, composing, editing, and mixing in one comprehensive music production environment. Building on decades of
innovation and feedback from its global user community, Cubase 16 introduces exciting new creative possibilities alongside significant improvements to everyday production workflows.
From creating layered instrument sounds and extracting individual elements from recordings to working with tempo, editing MIDI, and configuring the production environment, Cubase 16 makes music production faster and more intuitive. New instruments, effects, and sound libraries provide additional inspiration, while refinements throughout the application help
users stay focused on making music.
Cubase 16 introduces Instrument Stacks, making it easier than ever to create rich, layered sounds by combining multiple VST instruments, Sampler Tracks, and Drum Tracks into a single playable instrument. With flexible controls for individual layers, producers can quickly create sophisticated sounds and explore new sonic possibilities.
New tools in the Key Editor make MIDI editing more musical and intuitive. Strum adds natural timing variations to programmed chords, while the new Stretch Selection tool allows MIDI passages to be stretched or compressed directly, making it easy to adjust musical phrases or create effects such as accelerandos and ritardandos.
For experimental sound design, new Spectral AudioWarp algorithms developed by
Steinberg’s HALion team deliver impressive results even at extreme time-stretching settings.
From radically stretched vocals and instruments to atmospheric textures and evolving soundscapes, the new algorithms open up exciting possibilities for creative audio manipulation.
