Cubase iC Pro

I’ve been using the app for a good while and more frequent lately due to a reconfiguration of my home studio. Cubase iC Pro is an incredible helpful tool especially when I work on recordings without anybody else being present. For the most part I’m using it to start and stop recordings w/o the need to make a run to my desktop. It is not only a time saver, but also allows me to stay more focused on the parts that I want to record rather than controlling Cubase directly. I’ve tried it in the past, too, but don’t recall how reliable is used to work. It does work flawlessly with Cubase 13 Pro and 14 Pro.

This is the one thing I missed when I switched from Logic Pro. Very happy they’ve updated it. I’ve seen this before years ago and was deterred by people saying support was dropped. I started looking again because I need a new keyboard and I don’t want another 100% keyboard, but the record, ffw, rewind, jump to beginning, etc. key-binds are on the number pad. Saw people say support was picked up again, so gave it a shot and not only was my problem solved with $16, but Steinberg ran it in for a touchdown imo. With Cubase IC Pro I can get a 60% keyboard and not only retain functionality, but gain more shortcut control over Cubase. My only suggestion is they make the project view grid switchable between bars/measures and time. I can only see time and can’t find a way to see measures, but that may be on me. Other than that, great job Steinberg team. Looking forward to using this more and seeing what else you come up with.

I record music by myself and I'm so glad to have this app. It easily allows me to record takes from the other room without having to walk back and forth to my computer. I gave it four stars instead of five because the options are fairly limited to basic recording. Can't set loop points from the app. I also don't like that the project is displayed in minutes/seconds instead of bars/beats. I hope this app sees more development. But as it is I'm very glad it exists.
