Tutorial Overview

SWA New Features: Cubase Pro 15 gives you a clear, practical walkthrough of every major addition in Steinberg’s latest update. This tutorial focuses on real-world workflows: quicker automation, a smarter Hub for project setup, a streamlined PitchShifter, and powerful AI stem separation. Everything is demonstrated in context so you can immediately apply these features to your own sessions.

You’ll also get hands-on with the creative tools that define Cubase 15 — the Melodic Pattern Sequencer, redesigned articulation engine, UltraShaper dynamics processor, the expanded Modulator Rack, and the new OmniVocal instrument. Each chapter stands on its own, showing you exactly how to use these tools and what problems they solve. If you’re upgrading to Cubase 15, this is the fastest way to get comfortable with the new workflow.

OK now this one seems to have been way too short, in my mind there were a lot more updated features in CB 15 than just 7, correct me if am wrong. Yet once again these 7 I needed to learn. Thanks again.

Thanks for your feedback! We focused this tutorial on the primary features added to Cubase Pro 15 — the ones Steinberg highlighted as the big workflow and creative updates. There are certainly other smaller tweaks and improvements in the update, but our goal was to cover the main features that will have the biggest impact on day-to-day use. We’re glad these chapters were useful for you!

$0.33 a minute is a bit much for this.

Seemed to focus on video game production. At $0.33 a minute I expected to see something much different.

Thanks for your feedback! The tutorial was designed to showcase Cubase Pro 15’s new features in a way that’s easy to follow, which sometimes involves using synth sounds like Retrologue to demonstrate modulators and creative workflows. While we didn’t specifically target game production, these examples are meant to show the core features in action, and the techniques apply across any music style.

What about us orchestral composers.

Reviewed by heboss on November 26, 2025

This tutorial focused entirely on pop music. I learned nothing useful as an orchestral composer. It is not just you, Cubase and many others seem now to consider pop music and offer precious little for us orchestral composers. If you are into drums you will love this.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! This tutorial focused on the new features Steinberg added in Cubase Pro 15, which are aimed at improving workflow and creative tools across the board. We agree that there’s always room for more orchestral-specific features, and hopefully future updates will provide more options for composers like yourself. We appreciate your feedback and perspective!
