The new system also includes an automation Range Tool which makes adding and editing automation much quicker. In previous versions, curves could only be created by adding fixed points connected with straight lines. One much-anticipated addition to C9.5 is its ability to create smooth automation curves. For those recording bands or doing a lot a real-time MIDI input, these are all useful features. The biggest change though is the ability to create custom click patterns, and assign a different pattern automatically depending on the time-signature. The Cubase Metronome also gets an update, with a clearer-looking window and click-sound presets (with a bunch of new ones pre-installed).

The ability to drag the pre-post EQ/ Channel Strip point for each channel is also nice addition. Those who like to stack up serious processing chains will hail the doubled Insert slot count in MixConsole a triumph. It is a non-destructive process that is a real time-saver, and great for all kinds of spot-treatments, correction and glitch effects. This is an extremely neat feature that lets you select audio and apply multiple plugin or Cubase processes directly, and with real-time preview.

At the moment this applies to very few beyond those from Steinberg.Ī more noticeable area where DSP comes to the fore is with the introduction of Direct Offline Processing. Go to the VST Plug-in Manager and select ‘Show Plug-ins That Support 64-Bit Processing’ to see which plugins will benefit. CPU load was largely unchanged on the projects we tested, but is reduced when using some plugins.

The changes do not alter how audio is stored or output, but do improve the accuracy of internal DSP calculations, particularly when combining multiple audio streams (where rounding errors can be cumulative). Combined with a conventional filter section this makes for distinctive, and very powerful, sound creation. Unlike synths with fixed waveforms, each oscillator is based around bank of single-cycle digital waveshapes that can be moved between using a modulation source. This form of synthesis was developed by PPG, and employed in their groundbreaking hybrid synths of the early 1980s. With the move to Cubase 9.5, Steinberg has introduced Flux, a HALion-based instrument that employs wavetable synthesis. Although HALion Sonic SE has its heritage in sample-based content, it also has the ability to host additional synth engines.
