Steinberg Cubase Pro 15 Upgrade AI

Requirements Based on License Type

This version is an upgrade (UPG): you must already own an eligible Steinberg Cubase AI version 12, 13, 14, or 15 license. Activation and installation require a network connection and use of your Steinberg environment (account/activation manager) to validate eligibility and activate Cubase Pro 15.

What Cubase Pro 15 Is For

Cubase Pro 15 is a complete digital audio workstation for composing, producing, recording, editing, and mixing all music styles: pop, electronic, hip-hop, orchestral, film scoring, or sound design. Designed for intensive use, it covers the entire production chain, from the first loop to the final mix, with advanced tools for MIDI, audio, arrangement, and automation, including immersive projects in Dolby Atmos.

Main Features

Writing, Orchestration, and MIDI Editing

The modernized Expression Maps speed up orchestral writing thanks to deeper integration in the Key and Score editors, with articulation attack compensation. The Melodic Pattern Sequencer (Pro/Artist) helps generate more expressive patterns using scales, step input, shape generators, and randomization, ideal for electronic music, scoring, and beatmaking.

Creative Audio: Remixing, Sampling, and Transformation

AI Stem Separation (Pro) opens practical uses for remixing, rebalancing, and sampling. To quickly sculpt a sound, UltraShaper (Pro) centralizes dynamic processing (transients, clip limiting, sculpting EQ) in a module designed for speed without losing control.

Modern Mixing and Accelerated Workflow

PitchShifter (Pro/Artist) allows real-time pitch shifting up to 24 semitones with formant control, saturation, and stereo unlink options. Ergonomically, Cubase 15 improves daily use with a redesigned Hub, Quick Export, Track Controls (volume/pan), "last touched" automation, universal plugin resizing, pinch-to-zoom on macOS, and enhancements to the Score Editor and Sampler Track.
