What the users say about Cubasis 3 Digital Audio Workstation:

“It's Steinberg so you already know it's great, but this is by far my favorite audio recording DAW for mobile to date.”
Chrissa C.

“Excellent mobile DAW for recording anything. I'm using it primarily to demo and sketch song ideas before I take them into the studio. The recordings of guitar and vocals sound better than you would expect. I could see someone making a whole record on their phone with this. Also the development team is very responsive to feedback and will help you resolve any issues very quickly. I've always had a hard time recording into DAWs on my computer and this app just makes it so much easier!”

Thanks for addressing the stability issues introduced in the previous incremental release! While I initially purchased this app primarily for use as a midi sequencer with my MODX, the convenience of being able to explore and develop ideas on my phone has meant this app is now central to my "creative" workflow. The sound pallette might be limited, and the target audience is only myself, but I'm getting more enjoyment from listening to and refining my own compositions than listening to Spotify.

Quite good, more so if you use on a Z Fold 6 in tablet mode (which I am) for that extra screen real-estate space. If you're blessed with a Tab Ultra, then the larger than iPad screens must make it a joy to use. However Cubasis is slightly different on Android and also lacks some optional add-on modules such as Waves modules. I was able to purchase these (ie. Waves Autotune) a while back on my Apple devices, but they're not available on Android which is regretful.

Hi Star1 child, Thank you very much for your kind Cubasis review and rating! Unfortunately the Waves plug-ins are exclusive to iOS. Enjoy being creative and stay safe and sound, Lars

Came back to this and gave it another shot. ... The sound quality of the sounds/plugins are so good. I use FL Mobile a lot and although this daw doesn't have all the quick easy features that FL Mobile has. The sound quality of the plugins are far better. Everything sounds just as good as it would when using a desktop daw, big learning curve...but honestly I think this is worth your money.
