Cubase 4
Designed for professional music production from the ground up,
Cubase 4 comes with a brand-new VST3 plug-in set and four new
integrated software instruments with more than 1000 sounds. The
revolutionary SoundFrame
™
is a powerful combination of Track
Presets, Instrument Tracks, and MediaBay database, to help
organize all your sounds from every instrument - both software VSTi
and hardware. Cubase 4’s mixer now offers a flexible Control Room
section and up to four independent studio mixes. Composers and
musicians benefit from a streamlined and enhanced score editor. A
redesigned user interface with many new features speeds up
workflow and boosts creativity to new levels.
