Music making is no longer reserved exclusively to those whocould either play an instrument or who had a great voice – one canalso create amazing tunes using solely the computer, provided theyhave the proper application. Such a tool isCubase, one of the most popular software solutionsfor composers, vocalists, bands or producers worldwide.
It needs to be mentioned from the get-go that this applicationcannot be installed and evaluated unless a license key waspreviously purchased – also, it is especially created forprofessionals, as the learning curve could prove to be quite steepfor novices.
Musicians can rely on Cubase to create their songs with ease,regardless of the genre they want to approach (the product includesspecialized tools, like an MPC-style drum sampler and a stepsequencer, along with creative beat mangling tools for generatingcomplicated beats and rhythms). They get not only automatic voicingharmonization or composing assistance for their chord sequences,but also countless inspiring instrument sounds and loops that canenhance their tracks even more.
On the other hand, producers and audio engineers can also benefitfrom the functions of Cubase as the application can seamlesslyintegrate with various popular DAWs (digital audio workstations),while the guitarists are bound to appreciate the numerous amps,speaker cabinets, classic stomp box effects, or microphone modelsof the built-in virtual guitar tone.
As long as a vocal recording is available, Cubase can also process,correct or optimize the pitch or timing of the monophonic audiosignals, and to harmonize the lead vocals so as to obtainone-of-a-kind choral arrangements. Reverb, modulation and dynamicseffects can also be applied, to ensure the output sounds as clearand as smooth as needed.
Even if it cannot be taken for a spin without a license, Cubasecomes with several pricing plans that are meant to meet the budgetof its users.
