With a feature set that includes unlimited audio, MIDI and instrument tracks, more than 3,000 instruments, over 80 effects, and Dolby Atmos capability, Cubase Pro 13 is all you need to produce world-class audio for any application. Version 13 adds a host of new and upgraded features, including the channel tab for quick mixing within the arrangement, a redesigned mix console, a vintage tube compressor, new EQs, and more. Sketch out your score with Iconica Sketch, offering 140 articulations for 34 instruments, allowing beginners and seasoned pros to render full orchestral scores with accuracy and ease. Cubase Pro 13 also includes a new compressor designed specifically for vocal tracks. VoxComp helps you create vocal tracks that sit perfectly in the mix without sacrificing the dynamics and natural character the artist intended. Edit audio your way with Pro 13’s updated editor.
