Your entry-level ticket to the world of Cubase.

Cubase Essential 4 music recording and sequencing software gives you a nice selection of powerful tools for composing, recording, editing, and mixing taken from the full version of Cubase. It also includes the same user interface and award-winning audio engine you'd find in Steinberg's flagship Cubase 4. And that means when it comes to audio quality and intuitive handling, Cubase Essential rivals its bigger brothers. Any way you choose to use it - as a sequencer for your home recording studio, or as a multi-track recorder for the band rehearsal room - you get the real deal at an unbeatable budget price.

New Features Cubase Essential 4 (formerly known as the Cubase SE product line) sets a new standard for personal music production software by offering you powerful editing tools, a new set of plug-in effects, the HALion One Sample Player instrument, a great-sounding guitar amp, and more than 60 other new features and improvements. With a new Arranger Track, linear and pattern-style arranging is now seamlessly integrated. New AudioWarp realtime time stretching and pitch shifting makes working with loops and tempo-based audio easier than ever. Many more features are listed below.
