What Cubase Pro 16 is used for
Cubase Pro 16 supports producers, composers, songwriters and sound engineers from the first idea through to the finalization of a track. Whether you are working on electronic music, band recording, songwriting, orchestration or music for picture, this digital audio workstation brings the necessary tools together in one customizable environment.
You can program drums, record vocals, develop a MIDI arrangement and then prepare the instrumental parts without switching software. The included virtual instruments, effects and libraries let you build a demo, then refine its sonic identity throughout the production process.
