Pro 8 sits at the top of the Cubase range and retails in Australia for $699. Steinberg Connect Pro can be purchased separately, which opens up to 16 tracks of encrypted, uncompressed audio.

Connect SE3 works with video and 320kbps stereo audio. It uses the camera so you can see who’s at the other end and makes it easy to send MIDI and audio back and forth. Other new tricks include VST Connect SE3, an integrated plug-in that facilitates real-time remote collaboration over the internet. Different models offer more or less channels.
#CUBASE COST MONTHLY SOFTWARE#
Compatible with most other DAW software and including support for iPads, the UR 242 is a pro-quality interface for any type of music production. On-board DSP allows for low-latency monitoring and includes a simple reverb plus EQ, dynamics and modelling. Input 1 switches to become a Hi-Z unbalanced (DI) input for direct connection of electric guitars or basses. There are two analog outputs on the rear panel and a decent headphone amp. Inputs are via two Yamaha-designed and fine-sounding D-Pre mic/line pre-amps with pads and 48V, plus two separate line inputs. Audio is 24-bit with sampling up to 192k, >100dB dynamic range, flat response, negligible distortion.
Presented in a solid steel box, all the connections and controls feel high quality and it connects easily to a computer via USB. The UR242 USB audio interface is a four-in/two-out device and it’s hard to fault. This noticeably cut-down version of Cubase, combined with the interface, provides the basic sound quality, tracks, instruments and processing needed to produce finished tracks and it’s a great bargain for beginners. Steinberg has bundled the entry-level Cubase AI 8 with the new Steinberg UR series of USB interfaces. If you’re interested in Cubase, but have a more pressing need for a small interface, you’re in luck. For producers/composers/musicians there are musical genre-based templates that open with a drum loop ready to go when you hit play. For engineers there are time-saving templates with preset channels and routing for a quick start in a range of typical recording scenarios. The other part of the Hub is the Project section, and as well as your recent projects, there are template options for starting new projects. You can turn it off but it’s a handy way to keep in touch with Steinberg and will no doubt be their future access point to subscription-based or cloud services. Once installed, Cubase Pro 8 opens with an introductory page called Steinberg Hub where you can check the latest news from Steinberg, or access tutorials, help and links to the user forum.
#CUBASE COST MONTHLY PC#
Installation on both PC (Windows 7) and Mac (OS X Yosemite) was easy enough with the now familiar registration/activation process. I’ve been exploring Cubase Pro 8’s new features in combination with Steinberg’s UR242 USB audio interface.
Some of the numbers are impressive: unlimited tracks, up to 256 physical inputs, 32-bit/192k audio, 256 group channels, eight virtual instruments, 3000 preset sounds and 73 audio plug-ins. Cubase Pro 8 is the top version of the latest range and it’s aimed at professional studios and producers. Over time Nuendo has outgrown stereo music and embraced multimedia mega-production while Cubase has evolved into a specialist music-making environment par excellence. Steinberg has been there from the beginning and Nuendo has been a worthy contender in the professional DAW stakes since Cubase was a MIDI sequencer.
