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!”

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.)

So far it works great for me on my Android phone. Once in a while I might get a latency problem but no big deal as the final mixdown WAV file plays just fine with no problems. Was easy to get started & learn how to use ( still learning all it's nuances) and works with multiple midi keyboards. I also like the fact that you can save the mixdown file as a WAV or MIDI. And it's cool that you can import MIDI files from other music apps. I recommend using a good set of headphones when using the app.

When I try to make music it can be a tad bit glitchy sometimes. When I press on the track and edit notes and try to find a better sounding note the app starts playing a note for a long time and I dont see any piano keys playing. It messes up my flow. Sometimes when I try to play an instrument in the editor it will glitch and not process. Other than that, those are the problems Ive encountered so far. Its a really good mobile studio app to have just needs some fixing.

Hi Jerason, Thanks for your rating. If you encounter hanging notes, please tap the "MIDI Panic" button located in the routing tab in the inspector. Alongside, please give it a try if increasing "latency", or changing the "Multi-core Processing" status helps improving the overall performance of the app (both located under "Setup/Audio). Thanks Lars
