The deal
$111.99 at Sweetwater (down from $159.99). For a limited time. Special upgrade pricing for current Steinberg Cubase Artist 12 or 13 owners.
What it is
Cubase Artist 15 is the mid-tier edition of Steinberg's professional DAW, offering a comprehensive environment for composition, recording, mixing, and editing. Version 15 adds AI-powered stem separation for pulling apart vocals, drums, bass, and instruments from a full mix, alongside a redesigned melodic pattern sequencer with polyphonic modes, step input, and a smart randomizer. It runs on both macOS and Windows and supports the VST3 plugin format.
Who it's for
Songwriters, producers, and recording musicians who are already invested in the Cubase ecosystem and want a capable, full-featured DAW without moving to the Pro tier.
Key features
- VariAudio pitch correction with Scale Assistant for precise vocal editing without leaving the project
- Multitrack AudioWarp and Audio Quantize for tightening timing across multiple recorded tracks simultaneously
- New melodic pattern sequencer supporting monophonic and polyphonic modes, custom scales, shape generators, and deep randomization for building basslines, arpeggios, and chord patterns
- AI-powered stem separation lets you isolate vocals, drums, bass, or instruments from any audio file directly inside the DAW
