The DAW that hits the Sweet Spot!. I have, and use, several iOS music production platforms. I have to say that Cubasis is just about the perfect balance between something like GarageBand on the simple-but-limited side, and Auria Pro on the unlimited-but-complex side. Cubasis is quick, fun to use, only limited in the most sophisticated final mixing and processing tasks. If you put together a track that is good enough to get to that stage, that's a good problem to have. Cubasis can get you there, and you will have fun doing it.

SAD, SAD, UNBELIEVABLE!!!. What a freakin' rip off. I was pretty excited to use this app but like others on here, why the hell bother when you have to find supported hardware. I chose this because I really want to use Auria Pro which I have but someone told me that Cubasis has an easier learning curve so now after this Cubasis disappointment, I’m just going back, gritting my teeth and learning, Auria. You guys are a complete rip off and I would give you 0 stars if I could. Why the hell would I want an app that only plays in DEMO MODE??? You people cannot be serious! It would have been great to use this app so I could see if I wanted to upgrade to full Cubasis but forget that now. Seriously. You should be ashamed of yourselves. There is no way I’m upgrading to the full version. This is crap. Highway robbery. Tsk, tsk. I also have one more thing to add. Why do powerhouse DAWS such as, Auria Pro, BeatMaker 3, IMPC Pro, GarageBand, and others I’ve bought allow you to start working with them right away and not have to worry about searching for compatible hardware like you guys? Please explain this to me? It would be nice to use Cubasis LE 2 to give us a chance to work with it. To get a feel of what Cubasis is all about before spending the 50 bucks for the full version. This is not fair. You people intentionally do this so we can fork the money for the full version. What a shame. Cumulonimbus

Sad. I purchased the full version of Cubasis 2 through Cubasis LE. It did not show in Apps store that I purchased it. Besides I was expected to have a full version of Cubasis 2, it seems that a partial version instead of a complete full version of Cubasis 2. Please fix this app. Thank you

Very odd!. Really!

Cubasis is FOR REAL. While it’s no fun getting older, the prospective of growing up in the 80’s makes me really appreciate the tremendous technology available to musicians and songwriters today. Cassette four tracks were a blast of course, I learned a lot on them, but a DAW on slate no bigger than a magazine, with features on par with its desktop counterpart and now with Waves PlugIns?! Unreal, Cubasis is unreal. I think users of the other iOS DAW’s need to add Cubasis to their arsenal as well. I love Auria Pro, but also use Cubasis; the ease of use and excellent on board instruments make MIDI composition & experimentation a breeze and serious mixing with acoustic instruments and audio is equally powerful. Steinberg’s partnership with Waves is a huge step in a journey Cubasis has been taking from a DAW people could doubt & dismiss (“Recording on an iPad?!”) to a DAW that is just as capable as it’s desktop brethren. Highly recommended.

HELP!!!. The latest OS update has apparently made it where Cubase will no longer load. Also, although paid for the full upgrade when I go to the App Store it does not know I have purchased the full version and still has me down for the LE version. Help!!

Great app with first-rate MIDI support. Unlike other reviewers I've found this app to work well for me, including my oddball MIDI equipment. I've upgraded to the full version (no longer LE) and don't regret it for a minute. While it may be true that you don't get much/any assistance from Steinberg (the developer), I've gotten near-immediate responses on their forum. Recommended!

Disappointed :(. I purchased the full version from within the Cubasis LE app, but it does not show that I purchased it in the App Store. So, my review here is for the FULL VERSION. I've used the desktop (pc) versions of Cubase for years and love it. Cubasis, in my opinion, doesn't come close to offering what the desktop versions have. Maybe it's great for some composers, as a way to work a song from start to finish. But, to me Cubasis really feels more like a really good 'scratch pad' that the developers are expecting you to actually work on your tunes on a full pc/mac version. The really disappointing thing to me, is the lack of ability to do multiple time signatures/tempos in one song. Because of this simple lack of capability, this app is pretty much useless for what I wanted to use it for. Rant over, it does do what it says it will do. I hope they implement other compositional abilities with future updates. :/

Yamaha AG06 mixing console???. Bluetooth appears to be the only means to connect a device. Yamaha AG 06 is not Bluetooth. “Cubasis LE” is the recommended software but doesn’t seem to be available anymore. Really frustrating. Website lists it as a compatible device.

Stopped working within hours.. Bought the Steinberg UR22 mkII. Downloaded app. Connected pre-amp to iPad PRO. App unlocked. Recorded some vocals. Signed into App Store, so I could upgrade via IAP. CubasisLE stopped working (was still connected to pre-amp). Everytime I tried starting app, it instantly Force Closed. Rebooted, unplugged/replugged, etc. Same. No money lost, just time (1 gig file took awhile). Uninstalled. If you buy a Steinberg pre-amp, your reward is $29.99 upgrade to full version. If you buy the full version right off the bat, $24.99 (you don't need a Steinberg product). Amateurs... I DO NOT RECOMMEND! That is unless you're a sucker. Great pre-amp though.

RIP OFF!! Not Eligible for Refund!! Don’t buy!!. In order to try the Inter-App feature you have to buy the Full Feature Set, but I find out the Inter-App Routing feature does not work properly with my Amp Sim Apps. It’s distorted with clicks & pops. I used this APP for less then 1 hour trying to get it to work properly. Requested a refund and was denied. Now I’m stuck with this GARBAGE 🤬 Edit: Their reply is Misleading & False. The Inter-App feature is not included in the Demo. You HAVE to purchase the Full Feature Set in order to try the Inter-App feature. So if the Inter-App feature doesn’t work properly, you’re stuck with this App 😡

Outstanding!. I’ve been a Steinberg customer, (Cubase/Wavelab) user for years. Since the early days of VST/32 I’ve been hooked. I’ve seen professional audio engineers switch from impressive Pro Tools setups and sell them to acquire the quality of Cubase’s or Nuendo’s audio engine after taking demos to their studios! Remember, to get the full benefit of Cubasis you’ll need compatible hardware. With the Neve partnership, I use the UR-RT4. It’s amazing to hear the quality audio that can be recorded on an iPad these days! Keep up the great work and don’t forget to send my coffee mug!

BLUETOOTH. Still has Bluetooth issues... it sounds like a transistor radio in Bluetooth headphones and speakers like they are routing the sound through phone settings and not audio. I have an ipad with no headphone jack The only way to use headphones is Bluetooth or at least the best way is to use Bluetooth... if you’re going to make an ios app ya MAY wanna work on this! I have outboard gear but i mix on the ipad alone so i NEED decent Bluetooth support.

Too Restrictive to test. Can’t record anything. Too restrictive to test. Too bad. If it was any good I would gladly buy the full version.

There’s a reason for everything. I just bought yet another copy even though I have paid hundreds for existing software on an Apple ID (lalafel@me) that for “some reason” after YEARS of trying to recover Apple just wont help. And I am quite literate digitally. I have a UR 22 mkII, with an existing Steinberg acct from the desktop DAW, and for all of you complaining about needing the hardware, ESPECIALLY using an Apple device....,how can you NOT GET THE SIGNIFICANCE of the manufacturer needing control over BOTH hw&sw !.???! well let’s just say as a long time pro engineer w national acts under my belt I wouldn’t give your demo 10 seconds of listening time. Steinberg may not be easy to learn but nothing comes close in terms of its sheer power and capability, and admittedly the visual interface could be friendlier (but we are talking many years since we used any of their s/w). We didn’t have difficulty accessing our Steinberg acct A few months ago. So we are , yes dropping the 50$ sight unseen on this version and KNOW it’s a bargain since we were trained with real audio gear as an AES member and every type of software stretching back to Dr T on an ATARI ...SOOOOO if you lookin 4 friendly we suggest you stay OUT of the music biz 😂. Bein sincere here.

Crossgrade version?. I've had Cubasis LE (upgraded to LE2) on my iPad for a long time. I didn't used it much do to its limitations. But it worked and my interface (Zoom U24) work well with it. This week, I noticed Cubasis 2 was on sale for half off ($24.99) at the Apple Store. So I opened my LE app and purchased the in-app-upgrade at the upgrade price of $14.99 instead of the $24.99. Everything looked like Cubasis 2, but the icon and help screen both said I still had the LE version. Because you can't call Sternberg, I guess customers aren't worthy, I sent an email for them to confirm which version I had. After three days of emails back and forth, i was advised to call Apple, get a refund, delete my copy off my iPad, download LE2 again, and re-purchase the in-app-upgrade Although I thought that was a bas idea, I did it. Now, LE2 doesn't recognize my Zoom U2 (Steinberg has a list of official interfaces they tested and you need to use one of them to unlock LE. The Zoom U24 was just released and is not on their list. It's nice Steinberg has a list, but why do I have to have one of them if my interface works?). I only have access to the demo section. And you can't purchase the upgrade from the Demo. Didn't I say this was a bad idea? So after a week of frustration over a $14.99 app, I coughed up the $24.99 for what I know is Cubasis 2. Why am i giving Cubasis 4 stars after all I've been through? The app is fine. It's a really good portable mutitrack solution. It has great features, a great work flow and it works fine on my iPad 2 and recognizes my Zoom. The only competition is Auria (which I like more personally) but Auria only works on newer versions of iPads, not mine. And they never go on sale. For those looking to upgrade from the in-app purchase. I'm 95% you'll get Cubasis 2. But I can't be 100%. Apparently, neither can Steinberg. Cubasis 2 is a great product and is worth it even at the regular price of $49.99. It would be nice for Steinberg to give this to me at the crossgrade price, but I won't hold my breath. Enjoy you mixes David

Ridiculous. Ridiculous app that has NO support for the most common hardware on the market today by Yamaha and others.

I’m confused but that’s not hard to do.. Why do you need ‘any’ hardware device to unlock ‘anything’? Then this isn’t an iOS app to use with other iOS music apps?

Why bother?. I downloaded this in hopes of seeing what features would be available in the full version for iPad. Unfortunately, you can do virtually nothing with LE unless you have selected hardware from their list of approved devices. You basically get to play and stop their demo song. Not worth it unless you already own compatible hardware.

Too crippled. Defaults to a 30 minute demo with no saving.

A joke. Demo mode is useless for determining if the full product is right for you. I can only ask, why?

Great app but sorta dropped like a hot potato. I purchased this app when I had back surgery in early 2019 and needed to adapt to the iOS workflow of music production. That said, I don’t relate to the idea of Cubasis 2 receiving since 2012 therefor I should be grateful. Cant help but feel a side-balled as a recent customer. You’re not wrong to ask for more money... I’ve purchased nearly every extension and would gladly give more but that’s not the case here nor the attitude. Not enough offered to justify the means, , Please reconsider offering users who recently purchased Cubasis 2 the same sense of respect you’re asking customers to have for your development. Please find a way. Gift us an extension... SOMETHING! Otherwise Cubasis is surely the dominant daw on iOS. Happy new year 2020 y’all Please

Can you fix this problem. When I downloaded the app it was loading but it crashes and I never got the chance to using the app can you fix this problem.

Mr. You have ripped me off. This software is a joke. I paid for the cubase upgrade and all waves and instrument bundles except for two. Nothing works period. Says I have not purchased but was bought through iTunes. I want my money refunded and will be reporting as I paid over $70 and got nothing. There is no way to register this product as it sends you to a website that doesn't allow you to register a new account. Utter joke. I was just about to upgrade my new studio around cubase 10 pro but if this is how you now work you can take a big jump. Fix or refund now. Disgusted

Can not access all features of LE.. It says that to use all features and not have a time limit, I have to connect a Bluetooth MIDI device. None of my equipment works off of Bluetooth MIDI. This is stupid.

Bought this last year, but when using on my nw Ipd, it wanted me to purchase again.. I bought the Cubasis Le app on my old IPad, but when I changed to a new IPad, it wanted me to buy it again, I’m using it under the same account, and the app says it supports family share, how come? Very frustrating

Now has Wrong Icon. I'm a little annoyed that after updating to the full version of Cubasis 2 my starting icon still says Cubasis LE and when I go to the App Store it is still seems to think I own LE and not the fulll version - what is going on here?

Chord track??. Will the full version have a chord track please? It’s so useful.

Can’t ask for more. Super pre pro app.all you can need

Awesome!. Unlike the one star rating, this app is only advertised once you’ve bought hardware that include Cubase AI, or buying the software yourself. This means you’re only supposed to get the app BECAUSE it’s compatible with the base software. A one star rating is not appropriate because you can’t get the whole thing because of a “paywall”. The DAW is great, and has some awesome features to play with! Makes working in one key easy and convenient for new producers, while also still allowing everything for experienced ones. I know that sometimes owners will put fake reviews on to make the product look better (*cough*amazon*cough*), so just letting you know this is a genuine review by a product owner. If you want a portable DAW connected to your Cubase AI, this works great!

Useless without in app purchases. It is useless without purchasing ‘Full feature’ as in app purchase, which actually doubles the price tag you see. Without that you have limited functionality and connectivity. But wait, if you buy all in app purchases it is more expensive than Cubasis, full version available as a separate app. They try to milk money as much as they can. I would give a negative 55 stars if I could.

Doesnt unlock. As tommy said; it doesn’t unlock with my new Yamaha THR30ii. It supposed to but it’s just stuck in demo mode...

Great product !!!. Easy to use , works flawlessly , the plugins are a nice add on ! I strongly recommend , well worth the 40 Bones !!!

Won’t restore purchases. How many times do I have to re-buy this after the last upgrade? Give me back the previous version with everything I paid for already. It says no purchases on my account?

Compatible Hardware. Since I don't have anything on the compatible hardware list, I CANNOT try out any of the features of this app. And I am NOT going to buy any additional hardware to try this out to see if I want to spend $70.00 on the full app.

Where are my purchases?. I had this app on my old iPad and had paid for the classic synths in app purchase ($39.99) and now have a 30 minute demo and no purchases to restore? I use the same Apple account. I also have a steinberg account with cubase 10 pro. How do I use this app without paying an additional $70?

It does not unlock. I recently purchased a Yamaha thr30II and decided to try this included free software with my compatible device. I load up the software and get this message “to unlock all Cubasis LE features, please connect a supported device (via Bluetooth taphere)”. Which i do and can see my LE THRII there, however it does nothing and is stuck on that screen. Start demo or buy. So I have a compatible device connected and it still doesn’t work.
