Steinberg presents Cubase 5 and Cubase Studio 5
Major update to Steinberg’s music production system with many new
features presented at Winter NAMM 2009, shipping February 2009*
Hamburg/Anaheim, January 15 2009 – Steinberg Media
Technologies GmbH is proud to present a major new update to its
Cubase Advanced Music Production System and Cubase Studio
Music Production System products. Cubase 5 and Cubase Studio 5
offer a host of new capabilities including new beat creation tools, an
integrated vocal pitch editing toolset, extended composing features,
a convolution reverb as well as many other workflow and
technological enhancements, including full support for Windows
Vista 64-bit Editions. Cubase 5 and Cubase Studio 5 will be shipping
in February 2009*.
“This major release is a milestone in the history of Cubase,”
comments Kazunori Kobayashi, Steinberg’s Managing Director. “In
2009, Steinberg can look back on over 25 years of creating software
with the aim of supporting musicians, composers and producers in
realizing their artistic dreams. Cubase 5 represents the apex of this
development, incorporating not only all the engineering know-how
but also the many years of working with our customers that have
been key to Cubase becoming the world’s most popular music
production software”, Kobayashi adds.
Steinberg’s Cubase Marketing Manager Helge Vogt comments on
the new features. “We’ve added important new features in five areas
that are essential to modern music production. Firstly, we’ve come
up with a new set of beat creation tools that focus on beats, rhythms
and grooves, which are fundamental to most genres. These include
the revolutionary LoopMash** VST instrument developed with
Yamaha, the Groove Agent ONE drum sampling plug-in as well as
Beat Designer, which all cover different aspects of getting the perfect
groove going.” Cubase 5 also offers a new toolset designed for
working with vocals. “Our new vocal pitch editing tool is called
VariAudio**, which is integrated directly into the Sample Editor,” Vogt
continues, “and we’ve also added a new VST3 PitchCorrect plug-in
based on Yamaha Pitch Fix technology, that corrects intonation
automatically.”
Songwriting and composition features have also seen significant
enhancement in Cubase 5, with the new VST Expression
technology, which assists in controlling musical articulations,
radically simplifying work with large orchestral libraries for
symphonic or film scoring. The brand new REVerence** VST3
convolution reverb and a new handling system for automation add
additional tools for mixing.
Cubase 5 and Cubase Studio 5 also see a range of workflow and
technological enhancements. “We’re pleased to offer full support for
Windows Vista 64-bit editions, which allows Cubase to address up to
one terabyte of RAM. That’s great news for anyone using larger
sample libraries,” says Vogt. Multiple improvements to the MediaBay
sound management system and editing windows, new recording
features and an advanced Batch Export are among the many
additional new features in Cubase 5.
