Cubase VST 5 for Mac
Steinberg now gives you sequencing, scoring, digital audio, automated mixing, and DSP effects like reverb, parametric EQ, delay, and chorus--without additional hardware. Midi features include virtually unlimited tracks, intuitive arrange-windows, Key, list, score, and drum editing. Six different Groove-Quantize functions and advanced sync. Tape deck remote control and automated Midi Mixer. Cubase VST pushes the boundaries once more. All Cubase versions support 16 & 24 bit recording modes. An all-new equalization algorithm brings unprecedented performance and musicality to the on-board equalizers, and a new set of plug-ins provides an uncluttered professional aspect to the plug-ins that you need everyday. All the Cubase 5.0 Plug-ins are written by Spectral Design's DSP professionals, including the CubaseVerb, which sets new standards for on-board effects quality. In addition to all that Steinberg now adds hi-quality dithering options to all Cubase versions, to optimise the reduction of the number of bits to the CD's sixteen – making Cubase VST a perfect mastering tool. With Cubase VST 5.0's InWire™ you can sign up for free Internet studio access and take part in real-time sessions with Cubase VST 5.0 users around the world. Your changes are streamed to the other users each time you 'actualise' the project you have open, just as their changes are delivered and integrated seamlessly into your version. Additionally, the Universal Sound Module, a special VST instrument included with Cubase VST 5.0, means that even while on the move you have access to a common sound palette shared by all other studio members. While you are working, you can use the built-in Internet chat services, or even an Internet audio and video stream to interact with the other studio musicians. Cubase's InWire is supported by the Rocket Network®, and offers enhanced support including all VST parameters and dynamic mix and effects automation data. With the arrival of the new Multi-Processor Macintoshes, such as the G4 MP series, not only have multi-processors arrived on standard machines; the latest OS supports it in a new and more comprehensive way. Steinberg uses this new functionality to greatly increase the amount of power available to the VST audio engine. With the previous multiprocessor scheme the maximum processing power available to the audio engine was 1 CPU, as the complete audio process could only exist on one or the other processor. Now the audio-processing load can be split much more evenly between the two processors. Still one processor is doing the MIDI, file handling and user interface, but its remaining processor bandwidth can be used to support audio tasks. We estimate that this new MP model brings about a 50-60% increase in processing power over a standard single processor machine, and about 20-30% increase over previous multi-processor performance. The improved timing of Cubase VST 5.0 Mac offers a MIDI-timing that is mainly just limited by the CPU and its OS. Interference and delays are minimised by a new technique that allows a better internal connection between MIDI- and audio-engine. Features:
