Cubase is the most widely-used sequencing program in the world with well over one million registered users. Designed for professionals from the ground up, Cubase converges extraordinary sound quality, intuitive handling and a vast range of highly advanced audio and MIDI tools for composition, recording, editing and mixing.

The first version of Cubase appeared in 1989 for the Atari ST computer although the programmer, Charlie Steinberg who gave his name to the company, had been creating sequencers for the Commodore 64 and Atari since the early 80s.

The release of Cubase in 1993 on the Atari Falcon was a breakthrough in DSP software technology as realtime manipulation of audio was possible without the assistance of additional processor cards, as was the case with the more costly Pro Tools and other similar systems. Cubase also sports a well-designed and fully functional midi and score editor, which seems to come as an afterthought in many sequencers even Pro Tools. If you want to record and tweak the sound with Cubase’s native reverbs, eq and dynamics, all of the tools of the trade are there and much more improved from a graphic user interface standpoint.

Now owned by Yamaha, Steinberg is greatly benefiting from the music giants ownership. After all Yamaha is the largest musical instruments manufacturer in the world.

Designed for professionals from the ground up, Cubase 4 sets a new standard for integrated music production software by combining powerful audio and MIDI recording, synthesis, editing, mixing and effects. The brand new VST3 effect plug-in set and new first-class VST instruments are only the beginning. There are also new VST instruments, including three outstanding new synthesizers (Prologue, Spector and Mystic as well as HALion One sample player with hundreds of new instruments based on Yamaha Motif waveform), and the new Instrument Track class accelerates handling of VST Instruments and combines MIDI and plug-in automation within the same track.

Tailored for composers, musicians and project studios as well as students and educators, Cubase Studio 4 still offers professional music production technology thanks to a high-quality set of essential tools, but at a lower price point than Cubase 4.

Customers who purchase Cubase 4 will find additional advanced features required for the final production phases including surround support, full Control Room functionality and specialised plug-ins and tools for creating a final mixdown.

These music tools will allow you to write tunes in a way that more directly relates to musical notation. But the input may instead be one of the time value reporters included in the Music Tools. Pro Tools MP3 OptionBy including the Pro Tools MP3 Option, the Music Production Toolkit makes it easy to listen to a new mix on a portable device or quickly share it with other band members without having to use a separate application. We all need the proper tools to create music, and by “tools” I don’t mean acertain brand of instrument or amplifier, but rather the music we hear inside.

In Summary Cubase in my opinion at least is the Dewalt Power tool of the production world. Powerful and Reliable.

Crazy Carl asked:


I’m prety much looking for the biggest bang for my buck! I would like to buy a used laptop to use for audio production and video production. Audio production is more important to be able to be done completely on (hip hop production as far as running audio program, preferably Cubase, run VSTs and other plugins smoothly for effects and instruments, and record vocals.) I would like to be able to do video production as well but more just loading videos and playback, partial editing but as far as more intensive post production can be done on pc. Platform does not matter (windows or mac). Price is more important and looking around $200 and topping out at $500. Lower the better! Battery power is my second concern and would like at least 2 hours life. Size does not matter, smaller may even be more desirable because of portability and battery life. Any suggestions? Also if possible where to get information to optimize system for audio and/or video production.

Production music is a relatively new thing as far as music is concerned. With the advent of music being utilized in media industries, there has become a need to provide a way for producers to access music in a legal manner for their productions. Product music libraries provide royalty free music to producers and consumers who are looking to find music tracks in a legal manner to avoid any licensing headaches that can arise from utilizing pirated music.

Production music libraries first came about when producers were looking to make up scores to their movies or commercials, but has since evolved into being useful to an individual who is in need of royalty free music for school projects, such as a video yearbook, or a motivational looking to make their speech memorable through the use of emotional music.

Production music libraries range from libraries that have only a few hundred tracks to those that have thousands upon thousands of tracks available to producers and consumers looking for the right music for their purposes. By providing so many different music tracks in one place that is royalty free, producers and individuals can be assured that all of their music needs will be met in a single production music library.

By providing so many music tracks, producers and individuals have the option of purchasing only a handful of tracks, for a small project, or by purchasing several tracks for a larger production. By providing varying packages of music, producers and individuals can be assured that they will only be paying for the music that they need and will use, rather than being forced to buy a pre-made package of tracks in order to only use a couple of the tracks within the package.

Production music libraries have evolved with the need of producers and individuals needing royalty free music for their productions. Music can be utilized in a variety of ways and with the strict licensing laws around music these days; it is becoming harder for producers and individuals to find legal ways of obtaining music for their productions. This is where production music libraries come in, because they provide royalty free music to their consumers, providing an assurance that their consumers are purchasing legal music for their productions. With the popularity of production music libraries by both producers and individuals, they have realized that they can meet the needs of more consumers by providing packages that suit both large productions that need several music tracks as well as small packages that work well for individuals who only need a couple music tracks.

Learning music production from home is one of the most enjoyable things to do as a producer, you get to make your mistakes without any body knowing, you get to experiment without anybody seeing your tricks and techniques… music production is truly amazing. Suddenly in the past 5 years there has been a massive raise in the way music production is seen in the educational eyes and college and university courses have been popping up like hot cakes all over the world.

But is a college or university course in music production what you really need?

I think not, everything you can learn in music production you can learn from a single website that I found while browsing the internet a few months back. After studying a 3 year Degree in ‘Commercial Music’ I took on this course online and realized that everything I had been sitting down studying for 3 years was available in a program that takes a few months to do in your own time from home.

The topics range from music production, music strategies, pop music culture, hip hop, music entrepreneurship and so much more. The creative side is so down to you to be honest, only you can push you and to be honest.. 3 years of studying a degree like myself is not going to do any different than a short course can do for you in a few months. You need to take action for yourself.

You need to become an Entrepreneur in this day in age, being your own boss. Knowledge is the key to any Entrepreneur, so make sure you get your knowledge and know how up!

Gook luck in becoming that Entrepreneur.
