Steinberg Unveils Cubase 14: A New Era of Music Production

Steinberg is excited to announce the launch of Cubase 14, the latest iteration of its renowned music production software. This version introduces a wide range of innovative features designed to ignite creativity and elevate the music-making experience for musicians and producers at all levels.

Cubase 14 is available in three tailored versions, providing a seamless creative journey from the beginner-friendly Cubase Elements to the robust Cubase Artist, all the way to the comprehensive Cubase Pro—the industry-standard software used by countless professional musicians, producers, and sound engineers. No matter your genre, skill level, or budget, Cubase 14 offers everything needed to bring your musical ideas to life.

What’s New in Cubase 14?

Cubase 14 introduces exciting new tools and enhancements that focus on unlocking creativity while streamlining the production process. From intuitive modulation capabilities to advanced mixing options, this update offers a wealth of new features designed to inspire.

Six New Modulators for Ultimate Flexibility
Cubase 14 introduces a set of six new Modulators, including LFO and Step Modulator, enabling users to creatively modulate nearly any parameter of their tracks. This opens up a world of possibilities for dynamic, evolving sound design and production.
Drum Track: The All-in-One Beat Maker
A new addition to Cubase’s track types, the Drum Track gives users everything they need to create intricate drum patterns with ease. Featuring the new Drum Machine—a powerful hybrid of sampler and synthesizer—and an intuitive Pattern Editor, Cubase 14 allows producers to craft complex beats, randomize grooves, and explore fresh rhythmic ideas with just a few clicks.
Enhanced Mixing and Editing Tools
Mixing has never been easier with the full MixConsole now available directly within the Project window’s Lower Zone. Channels can be quickly rearranged with drag-and-drop functionality for a more fluid, intuitive workflow. Additionally, Cubase 14 introduces refined Event Volume Curve editing, bringing the precision and control of automation editing to static event volume offsets and fades.
New Effects to Expand Your Sound
Cubase 14 introduces several new effects to shape your sound in exciting new ways. Shimmer adds a beautiful, ethereal reverb, while StudioDelay offers a unique delay unit with built-in modulation, distortion, reverb, and pitch controls. Autofilter provides an expressive way to modulate filter cutoffs via the input or sidechain signal. The new Underwater effect is perfect for creating atmospheric, immersive spaces for vocals or lead instruments, while the Volume effect gives users independent control over volume, separate from the MixConsole fader.

Refined Notation for Composers and Arrangers

For musicians working with notation, Cubase 14 delivers a revamped Score Editor, now powered by Dorico—Steinberg’s cutting-edge notation software. This powerful tool allows users to view, edit, and produce sheet music with ease, creating professional-quality notation for live performances and studio projects alike.

Designed to Fuel Your Creativity

“Cubase 14 is all about inspiring musicians to explore their full creative potential,” says Matthias Quellmann, Senior Marketing Manager at Steinberg. “With our Creativity First approach, Cubase 14 provides the tools and flexibility to push boundaries and take music in bold, exciting new directions.”
