With its comprehensive tools for composing,
recording, editing, and mixing, Cubase Elements 6 is the most desirable
entryway to the world of Cubase. This eminently powerful collection of
quality instruments and effects modifies your PC and Mac computer into
your personal music production system for crafting compositions to
minute detail, making studio-grade recordings for band practices as well
as everything in between. And, with the same professional user
interface and award-winning audio engine as in Steinberg’s Cubase 6
flagship, the Elements version boasts all the tools of the trade at an
irresistible price.
MIDI-Sequencing
At the heart of
MIDI sequencing in Cubase Elements 6 is the Key Editor: a breathtakingly
powerful, yet transparent, tool which offers functional wealth that
opens up virtually limitless possibilities for songwriters and
composers. This is where melodies, chords, arrangements, and
performances take shape, and where ideas are sketched out, developed and
taken to their full potential. Entering, cutting, moving, and
transposing individual notes or whole chords, editing any of the
hundreds of MIDI parameters available or reworking even the most subtle
nuances of a MIDI performance are just some of the tasks for which the
Key Editor has been developed and refined continuously by Steinberg for
over two decades. The Key Editor’s Inspector provides smooth and
intuitive access to the most important MIDI tools and functions,
including Quantize, Transpose, Length, and many more in one central
spot.
Mix Like Professionals
With 24 physical inputs
and outputs, 8 insert effect slots per channel, 8 FX send and return
channels, as well as 16 groups/busses and an unrivaled routing between
audio channels, busses, groups, and FX returns mean that Cubase Elements
6 is fully equipped to master even demanding situations, like the
recording of a whole band. The system-wide automatic latency
compensation synchronizes all audio streams in your system
automatically.
The Score Editor
The Score Editor in
Cubase Elements 6 is a streamlined and simplified, yet powerful notation
environment derived from bigger Cubase versions. Completely integrated
within Cubase Essential, the Score Editor lets you view and edit music
in the form of scores. A few clicks are all it takes to adapt the view
to show recorded MIDI performances correctly and print them on demand
for others including soloists, orchestras, and choirs. Handy functions
such as display quantization and transposition make this task even
easier.
Editing
The Cubase Sample Editor offers
creative freedom while editing audio. A full editing toolset provides a
huge range of functions that not only cover common editing tasks right
down to the sample level. The loop functions are a boon for anyone using
loops in their project, including fully automatic hit-point recognition
and excellent beat-slicing.
Innovative Instruments that put creativity first
Cubase
Elements 6 delivers three exceptional rich virtual instruments right
out of the box. Over 550 mind-blowing presets spanning across the HALion
Sonic SE virtual instrument, the Prologue synthesizer, and the
MPC-style Groove Agent ONE drum machine
HALion Sonic SE
HALion
Sonic SE is a streamlined version of HALion Sonic, Steinberg’s premier
VST workstation. Incorporating the same pristine audio and synth engine
as its award-winning brother, HALion Sonic SE offers tight integration
with Cubase Elements 6 and production-ready sounds and instruments that
will truly inspire your creative work. Equipped with detailed acoustic
instruments and brilliant synthesizers, the SE version is an extensive
pool of sounds for everyday studio work. Intuitive handling, instant
playability and VST 3.5 support make this new instrument the perfect
choice for productive songwriting or just playing along.
Groove Agent ONE
Groove
Agent ONE pairs powerful drum sampling with detailed sound shaping —
seamlessly integrated into Cubase. Not only does it boast sliced loop
and MPC-import, but rocks right out of the box with its own custom
library of only the finest acoustic, urban, hip-hop, and dance drum
kits. Each of its virtual pads features a complete sound processing
section that gives full control of textures, timbres, and expressive
qualities of each drum sound. Creation of custom kits with drag-and-drop
from the MediaBay allows an extremely fluid and easy workflow.
Prologue
Prologue
is a polyphonic subtractive synthesizer with great sounding multi-mode
variable resonance filters, powerful modulation capabilities, and
cranking onboard effects. Powered by VirSyn technology, this punchy
virtual analog synthesizer is fed by hundreds of great-sounding presets
covering a wide range of sounds reaching from traditional analog to
indescribable.

MediaBay - Database for Sound Management
To
keep up with the ever-growing number of sounds, samples, loops, and
presets, Cubase Elements 6 is equipped with a powerful media file
management system known as MediaBay. MediaBay is the central place for
browsing, searching, managing, and categorizing any type of media file.
This includes audio and MIDI files, instrument, and plug-in presets,
video data, and even project files.
A user-friendly musical
category search system helps finding sounds or loops fast. A Scope
section features previewing options. Loops can be auditioned in the
song’s tempo and conveniently imported using drag-and-drop.
On-the-fly Pitch Correction
Designed
for vocal and solo instrument recordings, the new PitchCorrect VST 3
plug-in brings easy-and-automatic intonation control and scale
correction of vocal- and monophonic-instrument recordings to Cubase.
PitchCorrect is based on the acclaimed Yamaha Pitch Fix technology and
constantly detects the pitch of the input material and immediately
corrects it to match to the closest pitch of a user-specified scale,
including minor, major, chromatic, and custom scales.
AmpSimulator
AmpSimulator
is a great sounding guitar amp and speaker simulation for quickly
laying down guitar tracks without additional equipment. It features
various amp and cabinet models to choose from and is also working fine
for giving the bass an extra punch.
The Project Assistant
The
Project Assistant provides a wealth of ready-made templates for
different styles and scopes like recording, mixing, producing, and
mastering. The templates contain the number of channels, effects,
dynamics, amp simulators and channel inserts — tailored to your
particular needs. Creating customized user templates and integrating
those into the Launch browser makes recording with a DAW software and
audio interface just that easy. Start up Cubase Elements, go to Project
Assistant, and select a template from the list. A new project is created
with the necessary number of tracks, audio input, and output routings,
all effects, amp simulator, sounds, and much more. Thanks to this
assistant, initializing a Cubase Project from scratch even saves
professionals a lot of time — and as we all know, time is money.
