What it is
Cubase Pro 15 is Steinberg's flagship professional DAW - one of the longest-running and most fully-featured music production environments available. It covers the full production chain from composition and arrangement through mixing, mastering, and audio post, running on both Mac and Windows. Version 15 is a major update that adds new creative tools, AI-powered audio processing, and a redesigned workflow for orchestral and melodic composition.
Who it's for
Producers, composers, and audio engineers who want a deep, professional-grade DAW with serious MIDI tools and a mature plugin ecosystem. Especially strong for those working in orchestral writing, electronic music, or hybrid production who are already on Cubase Pro 12 or 13 and want the latest toolset.
Key features
- The new Melodic Pattern Sequencer lets you build expressive melodic patterns with step input, custom scales, shape generators, and randomization - a companion to the beat-focused Pattern Sequencer added in Cubase 14
- AI-powered stem separation is now built in, letting you isolate vocals, drums, bass, and other elements directly inside the DAW without third-party plugins
- Expression Maps have been completely redesigned to make it faster and more intuitive to build and edit articulation sets for orchestral instruments
- A new Writing Room Synths plugin delivers production-ready vintage synths sampled in professional songwriting studios, and Groove Agent SE gets an updated mixer, enhanced effects, and a scalable interface
