Congratulations and thank you for purchasing Steinberg’s Cubase 7 or Cubase Artist 7! When the first version of Cubase was released in 1989, no one at Steinberg thought that Cubase would become one day the beloved and indispensable tool millions of musicians, audio engineers and producers all over the world rely on, day in and day out. The Cubase philosophy puts the latest computer and audio technologies at your fingertips, inviting you to venture into new artistic territory and giving your creativity free reign. The seventh version of Cubase condenses almost 30 years of Steinberg development into the most cutting-edge set of digital audio workstations anywhere and delivers a truly unrivaled creative production experience. Recording and mixing with the completely overhauled MixConsole has never been so effective, with luxurious workflow improvements and more control over dynamics and routing. Its built-in channel strip processing modules deliver that epic pro-console sound that lets you turn your songs into a hard-hitting, radio- ready production. And the new global chord track alongside the innovative Chord Assistant for working with chords in project context, advanced MIDI and VariAudio harmonizing features, more instrument content, and an array of real- world workflow enhancements make Cubase 7 more musical than ever. Whether you are a professional, a hobby musician, a student, or a teacher – Cubase has it all covered and supports you through every stage of music production, from the inception of the first fleeting idea through its development, right to the final mix. And because it has been built to support individual creativity, Cubase owners are among the most successful artists in just about any musical genre or activity conceivable, from engineers recording and mixing rock albums to dance DJs, hip-hop producers, songwriters creating pop hits, and film composers scoring for Hollywood blockbusters.
