Auria is adding midi and audiobus…
No this app doesnt compete with its core effects
Beatmaker2 has two issues that keep it out of competing with either one…
The audio tracks useage requires too many steps
The effects in beatmaker2 are terrible…they continue to use non touch friendly gui types?
Cubasis doesnt have virtual vst…it has core effects. Blahhhhhh…who cares…buy multitrack daw, may not be pretty but it prolly sounds better…and it already has audiobus ;)
Is this a reskinned Music Studio with samples from Halion and a few extra effects? (in same way they did for FL Studio). The specs and layout look very similar to me? But how to justify the price difference if this is the case?!
You got a point there, they are similar.
I compared them & the keyboard with chord buttons, & settings pages are almost identical. It looks like it’s actually based on Music Studio.
They are both German developers so it’s likeley they works together with Cubasis.
Anyway even if it’s based on it it’s much better than Music Studio, the layout is more like a regular DAW. Each track has 3 insert Fx & 3 send FX busses & midi in & out settings. I think the Halion instruments sound better than the Music Studio instruments.
Bought Cubasis last night.
First impression, interface well designed, very easy to work with, good sounding.
But it is “Cubasis” not “Cubase”
@PhilW: no automation, the EQ is limited, just basic Hi & Low.
The effects sounds good, but no way to save presets.
The instruments are good sounding but edititng the sounds is very limited, just Attack & Release.
Sequensing other synth apps thru virtual midi works well, I used NLog & recorded some parts in NLog & imported to Cubasis via audiopaste, but then I had to edit start & end on the files in Cubasis, but the audio editor in Cubasis works well.
I hope they jump on the Audiobus, then it would be a powerful tool.
Compared to Auria, then Auria has no competition here yet, they are quite different tools.
I see myself using it like I use NanoStudio, BeatMaker 2, Garageband … writing songs with it & export the tracks to Auria for mixing, Cubasis can mix each tracks separate wav’s at mixdown.
For Cubase user with a compatible computer version it’s a must have I think …
Seems like they adding Audiobus :-D, from kvraudio forum:

We have AudioBus on the top 5 of our feature request list. We definitely want to support it as we support other standards such as AudioCopy/AudioPaste.

Wow-this looks exciting! Things are definitely hotting up. A few questions though – EQ? Effect automation? AudioBus (i am sure this is not there now, but future plans?). It would be great if someone could do a professional comparison between this and Auria (and Meteor and Multitrack DAW too?)
Im skeptical so far of it being competition for either auria(can the fx compete?), or even beatmaker2(price!?)….
Yea I’d like to know how the fx sounds on this one, and if 3rd party plugs are on the table.
I dunno why anyone would compare beatmaker with Cubase/Cubasis tho. Very different apps and they play in completely different leagues (unless Steinberg totally messed this up), with Beatmaker being the minors..
You’ve got to be kidding right?
Beatmaker is a very powerful app and unlike a lot of the other offerings in it’s class, it has an affordable price tag.
I meant IF Cubasis is up there with Auria in terms of being able to do a legit master/mix.
as an owner of Auria, I await patiently for a price drop, though it may take a while.. I suppose.
but at $25 it would be no brainer..
omg… and now? i’ve already Auria and i know it will support midi too….
Yes, could be competition for Auria and supports Core MIDI too (including Virtual MIDI) which Auria doesn’t. But it doesn’t actually say it supports audio recording. Can anyone confirm?
First line under features states unlimited audio and midi tracks.
WOW! Looks like Auria just got some competition.
… and I think competition improves the business ;)
