What the users say about Cubasis 3 Digital Audio Workstation:

“It's Steinberg so you already know it's great, but this is by far my favorite audio recording DAW for mobile to date.”
Chrissa C.

“Excellent mobile DAW for recording anything. I'm using it primarily to demo and sketch song ideas before I take them into the studio. The recordings of guitar and vocals sound better than you would expect. I could see someone making a whole record on their phone with this. Also the development team is very responsive to feedback and will help you resolve any issues very quickly. I've always had a hard time recording into DAWs on my computer and this app just makes it so much easier!”

Ratings and reviews

So far it's worth the $30 I paid. Where it seems to excel are the areas that matter most for overall mix & production quality such as really good audio fidelity along with excellent sounding midi instrument samples. What I don't like is the fact I can't just export finished mixes into my device's memory- I have to share to another device, then SD card it back in.. but overall it does mostly do what I was hoping it would upon purchasing.

Running on a good tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+) is a great, and it's well worth the investment, with one major caveat - mixdown exports! When you mixdown for export as a FLAC or WAV, it's saved in a bizarre location in Android data that can only be access by connecting a laptop over USB, seriously?!! Where is the 'export to' option? Is is too much to ask to export files to an accessible folder on the device, or to SD card or to a cloud drive?? Or have I missed that option entirely?!

It is slightly better, and worse than fl studio mobile at the same time. The DAW has the ability to change time signatures in the middle of you making the song, and time stretch, but there are no slide notes, or even an insert space feature... But honestly, having both allows you to use both workflows on the go, which is better than nothing. (The team does respond pretty frequently though.)
