Steinberg Cubase Artist 10.5

What’s new in Version 10.5

New and improved. Cubase version 10.5 introduces a range of new features and upgrades designed to improve your production capabilities and more. Visualise your work. You can now export rendered videos directly from the DAW. The video export feature (Pro/Artist/Elements) allows you to render audio and video, with support for MP4 and H.264 video compression. You can even add the timecode to the export, perfect for visual post-production.

Tap into a new style of delay. The MultiTap Delay (Pro/Artist) allows you to get in-depth with your sound design, providing rhythmic echoes with a wide range of options. You can utilise up to eight taps per delay loop and even add effects to the complete output. It also features a range of character presets, ranging from cutting-edge digital delays to vintage-style echo units.

A range of new workflow enhancements are also included. For example, you can now colorise channels within the MixConsole (Pro/Artist/Elements) for quick and easy arrangement of tracks. Combined Select Tools (Pro/Artist) allows you to speed up your editing process by combining two of the most frequently used tools. You can also now import tracks from projects (Pro only) and capture MIDI data when not recording using the MIDI Retrospective Recording capabilities.

Padshop 2 – the new and improved granular synthesizer

Padshop is highly acclaimed thanks to its comprehensive user interface and eclectic sound palette. Padshop 2 has been revamped with even more creative tools for sound design and sonic inspiration. The new spectral oscillator allows you to tap into unique soundscapes. You can even turn your own samples into new and fascinating sonic sculptures. The new arpeggiator section and effects section allows you to further extend your sound design capabilities. Padshop 2 also includes 100 new presets to inspire you.

Award-winning music production software

Cubase has long been a keystone in the music production world. It is revered for its innovative sequencing, editing and mixing abilities. Previous versions have gained Steinberg a wide range of awards and accolades, further cementing its reputation as one of the most versatile and powerful DAWs on the market.

Cubase 10.5 provides a variety of new enhancements, effects and virtual instruments; expanding its ever-growing arsenal of audio tools. A range of new tools are included with the Artist version including: LatencyMonitor, Groove Agent SE 5, Distroyer and MPE support.

The highly intuitive interface allows you to compose, record, edit and mix songs with ease. You can record instruments, vocals, ensembles or soloists and produce the perfect take every time.

Revised Channel Strip

One of the most prominent new features is the redesigned Channel Strip. The channel strip is the most important element when it comes to mixing and editing audio. The new and improved design is more ergonomic, providing a quicker workflow. It also extends the Channel Strip’s functionality, providing new metering elements and direct visual feedback of each module.

For instance, you can view the VU meter for certain plugins, as well as the frequency range of an EQ module. This can greatly aid in mixing, allowing you to see your changes and module settings at a glance. It also includes controls from the module on the channel strip, allowing you to make quick and easy changes without having to pull up the full plugin/module.

Latency Monitor

A handy tool for latency compensation. Latency Monitor allows you to monitor and fix latency issues with ease. Between monitoring and recording, latency can be a make or break issue, especially for home users. The Latency Monitor section gives you full control over your latency, even providing the means to adjust individual latency of each plugin for optimal flexibility.

5GB of brand new sound content

Cubase Artist 10.5 comes complete with 5GB of fresh sound content comprised of one-shots, loops, samples and more. The new sound content is split into six different groups: Analog Techno, Soul Assembly, Raw Ambience, Mystic Spaces, Block Buster and Hip Hop Vault. These sounds and loops have been hand-picked by some of the most popular producers within their genre. The sound content is created by Florian Meindl, Soul Surplus, RawTekk, Ferdinand Forsch, Allen Morgan and hip-hop producer Beat Butcha.

The genre-spanning sounds and loops have been meticulously crafted, providing a diverse range of sounds. The content spans Drum and Bass, Hip-Hop, Techno, Soul, Ambient and even sounds for audio/visual work.

Rode NT1-A Vocal Recording Pack

A complete package for professional results

It's all well and good having a great microphone to capture your sound, but what about all the extras? Luckily, the NT1-A Vocal Recording Pack gives you everything you need to get set up…

The SM6 Suspension Shock Mount is the ultimate mounting solution for your NT1-A. Its intelligent design provides you with exceptional isolation from any external physical factors that could be detrimental to your recording. No more rumble or vibrations that can often be transferred through your mic stand - you can focus purely on the sounds that you want your microphone to capture.

The SM6 shock mount also features a removable pop shield. This is perfect for preventing unwanted popping sounds from ruining your take. It's one of the most effective solutions for taming plosives, giving you the freedom to perform naturally and to your full potential.

Finally, this versatile Vocal Recording Pack gives you a premium shielded XLR cable. Measuring 6-metres (20ft) in length, you can find the sweet spot in your recording space, and not have to worry about dangerous stretched or hanging cables. And when you're not using your mic, the sleek Rode drawstring dust cover keeps your NT1-A safe from the elements.

Revered recording purity

Great sound is an artform, and with the NT1-A, you can create anything. An extended dynamic range of 132dB opens up a whole world of possibilities. Soft details are captured just as effectively as roaring bombardments, no matter what you're recording. Whether it's placed in front of a vocalist, a guitar, or a vast array of percussion. The NT1-A takes every nuance and reproduces them with outstanding accuracy. Combined with a wide frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz and high sensitivity, you can use the NT1-A in almost any recording situation.

As well as the NT1-A's wide dynamic range, this versatile microphone can also handle huge sound pressure levels. Capable of dealing with sounds up to 137dB without distortion, it's the perfect choice for even the most challenging of projects. SPL handling of this standard in a condenser is often only found in more expensive microphones. Plus, with one of the lowest noise floors in the microphone world, the NT1-A gives you transparent recordings without the hassle of unwanted artefacts.
