Based on the same core technologies as Steinberg's Cubase 5 Advanced Music Production System, the streamlined Cubase Studio 5 offers professional tools for composition, recording, editing, and mixing. Boasting a wealth of new capabilities unmatched in its price range, such as VST Expression and up-to-the-minute VST3 instruments and effects, like the new Groove Agent ONE drum machine and Beat Designer step sequencer, as well as the new Pitch Correct intonation effect, Cubase Studio 5 offers incredible performance.

Some of the highlights of Cubase Studio 5
•Drum sampling deluxe: Groove Agent ONE pairs powerful drum sampling with detailed sound shaping—all seamlessly integrated into Cubase. Not only does it boast import of sliced loop and MPC files, but also rocks right out of the box with its own custom library of acoustic, urban, and Hip-Hop drum kits.
•Beat it: Beat Designer is a hot new beat construction plug-in that allows you to get hands-on with beats for step programming and designing drum patterns in an easy yet powerful way, working hand in hand with Groove Agent ONE.
•On-the-fly pitch correction: The new Pitch Correct VST3 plug-in brings easy and automatic intonation control and scale correction of vocal and monophonic instrument recordings to Cubase.
•New automation handling: More transparency and flexibility inautomation, with a new, large control panel for lightning-fast access, Suspend Read/Write, new commands, and more.
•Rule-based consolidation: Cubase 5 interfaces CC data with the Cubase automation, bridging the gap between part-based MIDI controller and track-based automation data routed to the same target. Now it's easy to use both systems side by side and handle layered controller/automation data in a consistent way.
