Steinberg Cubasis 3 Available For iPad & iPhone With New Upgrades


Wednesday, December 18th, 2019 |

Steinberg has unveiled a Cubasis 3, its production app that allows users to make music on the go. Much like its desktop equivalent, Cubasis provides the same look and feel as Steinberg’s Cubase music software, and sports similar tools to perform, mix and share music productions, including many effects, hundreds of instrument sounds and third-party plug-in compatibility with Audio Unit, Inter-App Audio and Audiobus 3.

Previous iterations only worked on iPad, but now Cubasis 3 is compatible with iPhone. According to Steinberg, “mixer in Cubasis 3 has been revamped, now taking advantage of the entire display. It includes useful zoom modes and an eminently accurate level metering for as many tracks as are needed. Also new in Cubasis 3 are the eight rearrangeable insert and send effects. Users can add up to eight insert and eight send effects from the many already included in Cubasis or can choose to use third-party effects via Audio Unit, Inter-App Audio and Audiobus 3. The insert effects can now be placed before or after the fader.”

The app comes with a slew of new updates including the following:

  • Free Cubasis 2 in-app purchase transfer to Cubasis 3.
  • MIDI resolution dramatically improved with 960 pulses per quarter note.
  • 75 new effects presets.
  • Undo reinvented with History List.
  • Redesigned instruments and effects.
  • Updated audio, MIDI and automation editors.
  • Improved MediaBay: Creating folders, moving files and sharing music has never been easier in Cubasis.
  • Presets for user interface scalability let Cubasis fit perfectly on either the iPhone or iPad.
  • Overdub and looper recording modes.
  • MicroSonic now includes even more instruments.
  • Easily keep visual track with vertical event coloring.
  • AU MIDI effects automation.
  • Micrologue ARP (IAP) automation.
  • Continuing playback while performing undo, redo and more.

Cubasis 3 will cost $50 for new and existing Cubasis customers. Cubasis 2 will cost $23.99.

If you want to know about our industry from the people that make it happen then go to WMC. It’s an accelerated masterclass in all things dance music.


Carl Cox

DJ/Intec Records

WMC is and has always been the lifeblood of the dance music scene. Never missed a year since ’96, I can’t imagine Amsterdam Dance Event or Ibiza Music Summit existing without the blueprint that WMC originated. Seeing this revived is absolutely essential to reunifying the North American scene surrounding electronic music and its fringes.

Before there was Ultra Music Festival, there was The Winter Music Conference, the annual coming together of the dance music tribes. Miami in March is a fundamental place to be from a business perspective, and has always given me endless opportunities for discovering new partnerships and talent. WMC brings together the dance music industry and surrounding culture like no other event in America. I’ve been attending WMC for nearly 20 years, and I’m very much looking forward to experiencing its evolution in 2019.


Matt Colon

Director, North America - YM&U Music

Winter Music Conference was the cream of the crop of conferences. Every label owner, label A&R, DJ and artist knew they had to go network at the Fontainebleau where the conference was hosted. The conference was not only one of the most important time of the year as it relates to dance music but it was also a place where records were broken and became summer hits. Some of my best DJ memories are from the events I played during WMC in the last 20 years.


Erick Morillo

DJ / Producer / Label Boss - Subliminal Records

I’m so glad to see WMC rebooted with such thoughtful content and first-class curation. It’s been a long time since the industry had a must-do American event and this is it. The reborn WMC!
