From Our Research Team:

A Powerhouse DAW for Everyone!

Streamlined recording, powerful editing tools, flexible mixing options, incredible virtual instruments, tons of amazing plug-ins - these are the reasons that many of today's top music producers and musicians choose Steinberg's Cubase 6 DAW. Whether you're looking for a great way to record your band's next album, an integrated environment for composing and arranging musical scores, or a powerful tool you can use to lay down beats, you're going to love working in Cubase 6. From its time-tested ASIO plug-in engine to an advanced virtual control room with full 5.1 surround sound support, Cubase gives you the tools you need to accomplish more and make better music.









In addition to a rock-solid list of legacy features, including Audio Warping and a comprehensive mixing/editing environment, Cubase 6 introduces a new generation of powerful music production tools. Advanced tempo detection lets you instantly tempo map your session to imported audio files. This same technology drives Cubase 6's beat detection, which gives you pin-point accurate beat slicing and drum replacement resources. Slice up and quantize individual tracks, or use this powerful tool across your entire session to lock your recording to the beat. Lane Track arrangement is another useful tool. Record multiple takes on a single track in separate lanes, then use the Lane Track arrangement tools to select the best parts of each take and instantly combine them into a single dynamic track. These and other powerful editing functions make Steinberg Cubase 6 an outstanding DAW for anyone!

Music Background: Musician, Producer, Engineer, & Studio owner
I upgraded to 6.5 & it's just simply amazing & simple! I love how easy it is to quantize all audio, how easy it is to edit both audio & midi together.

I do have Protools 9 & I refuse to upgrade to 10 but took my chance & upgraded Cubase from 6 to 6.5 & I'm glad I did. Of course the 32bit floating point has always been outstanding to me. Ive been a Cubase user since SX3 & I'm not going no where. Cubase has & will always be my industry standard professional audio recording system in-spite of what others say. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
