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