What it is

Cubase Pro 15 is Steinberg's flagship DAW for composition, recording, mixing, and editing - trusted by Hollywood film composers and Billboard Hot 100 producers. Version 15 adds AI-driven stem separation, a redesigned Expression Maps system, and a new melodic Pattern Editor sequencer alongside an expanded creative toolset.

Who it's for

Producers and composers who've outgrown Cubase Elements and want access to Dolby Atmos mixing, advanced MIDI editing, and a full professional plug-in suite. Particularly strong for composers working with orchestral instruments and complex articulations.

Key features

• AI-driven stem separation lets you isolate and remix individual tracks for rebalancing, editing, or creative sampling
• The redesigned Expression Maps includes per-articulation attack compensation and deep Key Editor and Score Editor integration
• Seamless automation shortcuts automatically surface your last-touched parameter, streamlining repetitive mixing tasks
• The Pro plug-in set includes the Spectral Comparison EQ, UltraShaper compressor, real-time PitchShifter, and Dolby Atmos support
