![]() The VST Expression system, which first made an appearance in Cubase 5, has also been overhauled. ![]() Additionally, when you move that note, the Note Expression data associated with it also moves. The interesting thing about applying automation in this way, compared with using traditional automation lanes, is that the automation applies only to that note, even when other notes are sounding simultaneously for the same instrument. When you double-click on a note in the piano-roll editor, a Note Expression window will pop up, into which you can draw automation data. So, plenty on offer for those who do lots of recording, but what about people who work mostly with MIDI? Well, Steinberg have updated the VST protocol to version 3.5, and with this update comes a range of new features designed to make MIDI performances more realistic, including Note Expression. When recording multiple takes of a part, Cubase will create a new Lane within the Track you are recording to, whereafter you can cherry-pick the best parts of each take, and Cubase will create a master take comprising your selections. ![]() The act of comping has been made easier, with a concept that Steinberg call Lane Track. The tempo map created can then be used to tighten up wayward notes without killing the feel of the performance. The transient detection algorithm used to achieve this can, of course, also be applied to single tracks, and it can be filtered to best cope with the material you have recorded.ĭrum replacement is now much easier, thanks to a new Hitpoint-to-MIDI function, which analyses a selection of audio, and then creates a new MIDI track with a single MIDI note for every hitpoint it has detected in your selection.Ĭubase 6 also has the ability to automatically determine the tempo of, and generate a tempo map for, audio in your project, even if it wasn’t recorded with a click track. More new features that are sure to delight people who work with drum performances include a new audio quantizing tool: with a Track Edit Group created, this tool will chop up all the audio clips in that group, and then shift the transients therein, such that they are not only in time with your project, but in phase with all the other audio in that Edit Group. This allows you to link multiple audio events, like multi-tracked drums, for example, such that they behave as one clip and can be edited together. Onto the more exciting new features, then, of which Track Edit Groups is certainly one. Cubase 6 ships with 32-bit and 64-bit installers for both OS X and Windows, but users of Windows XP should be aware that their operating system isn’t explicitly supported - though some users have apparently had success installing and running the DAW on XP. Most notably, Cubase 6 can now be installed as a native 64-bit application on OS X v10.6, vastly increasing the amount of RAM that it can address. In addition to the new features and, of course, the obligatory eye-candy (the mixer, for example, looks much more Nuendo-like, and you can customise the user interface more than before), Cubase 6 incorporates a number of under-the-hood tweaks that have important implications for potential upgraders with regard to system compatibility.
