Steinberg Cubase Pro 15 Education

Requirements According to License Type

EDU (education): a valid proof confirming your affiliation with an eligible institution or organization (student, teacher, staff) is required at purchase or activation. The EDU license offers the same features as the standard version, for educational use.

What Cubase 15 Is For

Cubase 15 is a complete digital audio workstation for music production, multi-track recording, audio/MIDI editing, sound design, and mixing up to Dolby Atmos. From beatmaking to scoring, it offers a stable and customizable environment suitable for home studios as well as professional studios.

Main Features

Writing and Arrangement

The modernized Expression Maps speed up orchestration with deep integration into editors and attack compensation per articulation. The Melodic Pattern Sequencer (Pro/Artist) generates expressive patterns in mono/poly modes with scales, step input, automatic shapes, and randomizer. Chord Pads and Songstarter packs stimulate inspiration right from session start.

Sound Design and Processing

The AI Stem Separation (Pro) frees remixing, sampling, and rebalancing in just a few clicks. UltraShaper (Pro) combines transient shaping, clip limiting, and sculpting EQ into a coherent dynamics processor. PitchShifter (Pro/Artist) transposes in real time +/-24 semitones with formant control, saturation, and stereo unlink, while six new modulators (Pro) open advanced creative routing possibilities.

Workflow and Productivity

The new Hub centralizes projects and content, Quick Export speeds up delivery, Track Controls provide immediate volume/pan adjustments, and resizable plug-ins adapt to any display. Added features include macOS pinch-to-zoom, "last touched" automation, refined Score Editor, Sampler Track Hot Swap, and extended DAWproject compatibility.
