Technological Excellence
Pushing technological boundaries and mastering engineering challenges along the way with the goal to develop the most cutting- edge digital audio engine have made Cubase the technology leader in the field of native audio processing. Not just since the innovation and development of the de-facto standards of VST and ASIO by Steinberg, Cubase stands for technological excellence on Windows, macOS and even iOS with Cubasis mobile audio workstation.
Building On Heritage
Cubase builds on Steinberg's heritage, harnessing the passion and expertise to deliver one of the most advanced digital audio workstations today. Since Cubase was first introduced in 1989, it has constantly evolved and managed to re-invent the approach to digital music production time and again. Today, Cubase is the heart and soul of many production rigs, and integrates perfectly with Steinberg hardware and digital music products by Yamaha.
New Features in Cubase Pro 9
Zoning In On Cubase
Access all areas in the fastest and most convenient way. The new Lower Zone provides a neat and tidy overview. Your tools and editors are now just a mouse click away: the Lower Zone will enhance your workflow regardless whether you're working mobile on a laptop or in a multi-screen studio environment.
Sampler Track
Do you need that extra bit of flavour to spice up your production? Are you looking for a starting point? Enter the Sampler Track. It's the fastest way to inspiration. Just use any piece of audio to create a Sampler Track, play the sample chromatically, manipulate it with its on-board filters and controls, experiment and enjoy the sonic extravaganza only the Sampler Track can give you. And to top it off, the Sampler Track comes with Caleidoscope, a dedicated sample library with hundreds of samples and presets to get you started right away.
EQ With Frequency
The new Frequency EQ plug-in delivers exactly that what you'd expect from a tool that is supposed to enhance your productions: whether it's smooth attenuation to blend your tracks you're looking for or a tool giving you options of microscopic audio surgery. Frequency offers you eight bands, M/S support and Linear Phase mode for each band, Auto Listen to listen in on the adjustments you just made, Spectrum Display and even a musical keyboard to help you find the right tone. Frequency has all you need from basic tracking, mixing to advanced final polishing.
Mixconsole History In The Making
Ever wanted to compare different mixes with just one mouse click? Allow us to introduce you to MixConsole History. It's a great new feature that tracks all changes made in the MixConsole and easily lets you choose several stages of your mixing process just by selecting them from a list. This means you'll be getting your basic mixer undo/redo, but it also allows you to experiment freely with which mix suits your project best.
Comprehensive Cloud Collaboration... All The Way
Our world is getting smaller by the day, and cloud collaboration plays a vital role in it. Whether you want to make remote recordings with VST Connect SE 4 or exchange projects via VST Transit, find collaborators and partners all over the world, exchange ideas, get connected with others who share the same passion and be creative! No other DAW like Cubase has this level of cloud collaboration capabilities seamlessly integrated into your workflow. VST Connect SE 4 now offers the possibility to find new collaboration partners in a breeze. VST Transit adds further improvements and supports even more tracks and VST 3 third-party plug-ins.
Stability And Reliability
Cubase Pro 9 is one of the most stable and reliable DAWs on the market, allowing you to focus entirely on what's really important: your creativity and your productions. Cubase 9 introduces several new features that emphasise this approach further, making the Cubase experience even more comfortable.
Maximizer
It's always a good idea to keep your recording and mixing levels nice and easy. But it's a different story when finishing your productions. To let your final mix sound 'contemporary' you won't get around using the Maximizer. Not only did it get a new coat of paint but also an in-depth algorithm overhaul. Choose between the classic mode and the new modern mode to get the most out of your mixes, while keeping the result transparent, clear and brilliant.
Audio-Ins
Have you ever wanted to use the Retrologue filters or effects separately? Well, now you can! The new Audio-Ins option offers you the opportunity to send audio to VST 3 instrument plug-ins supporting side-chaining. This will increase your creative sound design possibilities tenfold.
Production Grooves
You can't get enough of inspiring beats and grooves to fire up your tracks. Production Grooves feeds your Groove Agent with over 400 drum loops and presets for all contemporary styles of music. Whether you want to have basic drum accompaniment for a songwriting session, hit the dancefloor with full blown epic electronica or garnish your rock with some serious beef: Production Grooves gets you there!
Multiple Marker Tracks
Cubase 9 allows you to use up to ten marker tracks. Imagine recording multiple instruments on several tracks and giving every one its dedicated markers. This means you not only have the power to structure your projects in a much more flexible way, from now you even can export stems and mixes using the cycle marker ranges.
What Else?
The new AutoPan offers a much bigger variety and flexibility to creatively play with your sound in space. Make use of various shapes, sync modes, panorama settings and much more, which are all quickly accessible via the new user interface. If you like the new Maximizer you'll certainly be happy to see that the Brickwall Limiter, Compressor, Expander, Gate and Envelope Shaper also have been graphically overhauled for a similar look and feel and streamlined workflow. The improved interface and detailed representation of the parameters will help you to get the most out of your state-of-the-art effects processors.

UR22mkII includes Cubase AI, a lean version of Steinberg's advanced music production system. Based on the same core technologies as Steinberg's highly acclaimed Cubase DAW, the AI version offers a comprehensive feature set for composing, recording, editing and mixing. Run it together with the UR22mkII audio interface and you get a one-stop solution for recording music in studio quality.
With full iPad connectivity via the CC Mode and external power input, the UR22mkII combines with the included Cubasis LE software — a streamlined version of the highly acclaimed Cubasis iOS app — to form a full-on mobile recording and production solution.
The D-PRE: Beyond Precision
The virtues of the Yamaha-designed D-PRE have been sung by industry veterans and trade press alike since the introduction of this class-leading preamp. A sumptuously detailed high-end, immaculate dynamic response and a rich, rounded low-end sound are the hallmarks of this very special preamp. The UR22mkII features two D-PRE preamps, each offering stellar recording quality unmatched in this price class. And to faithfully capture and replay the warm, transparent sound of the D-PRE, the UR22mkII features AD and DA conversion stages with up to 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution.
Compact Without Compromises
With UR22mkII, you're ready for a huge range of recording and production scenarios, even when you're on the move. Record vocals, guitars and other audio equipment with up to two audio channels in pristine 24/192 quality while simultaneously recording MIDI signals. And you won't have to carry it everywhere on a silk cushion: its sturdy construction and steel casing means the UR22mkII can withstand the rough and tumble of mobile music production. On tour, at home, on stage, or at your rehearsal space: take your UR22mkII with you wherever you need ultra-reliable recording and first-rate sound.
iPad-Ready
The UR22mkII turns your iPad into a full-on professional music production platform. Connect to your iPad with CC Mode using either the Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. The power input socket supplies your UR22mkII with the electrical voltage needed to run professional equipment such as condenser microphones requiring +48 V phantom power by letting you plug in a USB power adapter or a USB battery pack.
