Steinberg has just introduced Cubasis for the iPad. With this new app, you can record, edit and mix in CD audio quality right on your iPad. While I haven’t tried it out yet, the best part seem to be that you can record on the go and then open and edit your session in Cubase on both Windows and OSX. I’d really like to see Avid create an app like this for Pro Tools.
From Steinberg’s Website:
Cubasis is Steinberg’s streamlined, multitouch sequencer for the iPad. Specially designed for quick and easy operation, Cubasis makes recording, editing and mixing a breeze. Record tracks in CD audio quality, and edit your music with the Key and Sample Editors, while the included mixer and audio effects polish your song to perfection. Cubasis comes loaded with dozens of virtual instrument sounds which can be played in real time using the virtual keyboard and drum pads. Cubasis’ projects can be even opened in Cubase under Windows and OS X! Cubasis places touch-intuitive production tools in your hands, opening up a new world of possibilities for your creativity.
