What Cubase 15 Is For

Cubase 15 is a music production software (DAW) designed to compose, record, edit, arrange, mix, and finalize tracks. It caters to beatmaking, film scoring, virtual orchestras, sound design, and demanding studio projects, offering a stable and customizable environment.

Main Features

Writing, Composition, and Programming

The modernized Expression Maps integrate more deeply with the Key and Score editors, with refined articulation management (including attack compensation). The Melodic Pattern Sequencer (Pro/Artist) speeds up motif creation with mono/poly modes, scales, step input, shape generators, and a randomizer. To accelerate from idea to production, benefit from the Writing Room Synths (Pro/Artist), 40 Drum Machine kits (Pro/Artist), 30 Chord Pads presets, and Songstarter packs.

Modern Audio, Remix, and Sound Design

AI Stem Separation (Pro) facilitates extraction for remixing, rebalancing, and sampling. On the processing side, UltraShaper (Pro) combines all-in-one dynamic tools (transients, clip limiting, sculpting EQ). The PitchShifter (Pro/Artist) works in real-time (+/- 24 semitones) with formants, saturation, and stereo unlink options, while the Modulators (Pro) add 6 new modulators (Random Generator, Sample & Hold, Wavefold LFO, etc.) to animate effects and instruments.

Workflow and Mixing

The redesigned Hub (Pro/Artist/Elements), Quick Export, Track Controls (volume/pan), "last touched" automation, universal plugin resizing, and editing improvements (Score Editor, Sampler Track Hot Swap) streamline production. Depending on the edition, Cubase 15 also covers advanced needs like Dolby Atmos (Pro) and dedicated studio tools.
