What’s new in Cubase Artist 12
A wide range of new features and workflow enhancements are included within Cubase Artist 12 such as deeper integration for MIDI controllers, as well new function and key commands to speed up the editing process. One of the most groundbreaking new features is the ability to instantly convert audio to MIDI chords by simply dragging your selected audio onto the Chord Track within Cubase. This tool is great for sampling, remixing and demoing ideas quickly and efficiently. The new ‘FX Modulator’ is perfect for experimenting with sounds and creating new tones from existing sounds via multi-effect modulation.
Verve is a new virtual instrument – a felt piano that delivers unparalleled warmth and beauty, perfect for evoking emotion and creating melancholic soundscapes. Support for Dolby Atmos has also been included, allowing you to produce immersive music, completely within Cubase Artist. Designed for professionals, Cubase Artist 12 has also included several new features for the advanced post-production system – Nuendo. The ‘Free Warp’ tool has also been improved, allowing you to edit your audio recording and correct your timing directly from the project window.
New Scale Assistant in VariAudio for easy pitch editing
The powerful VariAudio has been revamped with the brand-new ‘Scale Assistant’ combining two powerful tools to make pitch editing easier than ever before. VariAudio provides you with MIDI-style note editing of monophonic tracks. This is great for unparalleled manipulation of both bass and vocals. It provides you with the means to adjust pitch, correct time, as well as manipulation the intonation of notes. With the new ‘Scale Assistant’ you can now be guided with your pitch editing decisions, making the process an absolute breeze! A firm favourite within the Cubase community, you'll be able to use this plugin to instantly re-create that iconic auto-tune effect that's synonymous with pop music, as well as produce perfect artificial harmonies.
Award-winning 64-bit digital engine
Cubase Artist 12 features their own custom award-winning, double-precision 64-bit floating-point Steinberg audio engine. This provides you with resolutions up to 192 kHz, as well as 5.1 surround sound possibilities, versatile routing and automatic delay compensation. There's a good reason why some of the world's leading producers and musicians choose Cubase to capture their fleeting moments of inspiration.
