Cubase iC Pro Reviews

From a post production side of the things the custom softkeys is great, but other than that CubaseiCPro is getting outdated. The last update was over two years ago, and it’s been so quiet that I feel like support for CubaseiCPro is abandoned. An update where you can auto-bank select track so it goes to the fader on CubaseiCPro would be great, and added panning controls would be great too. Avid’s Avid Control has surpassed it in a lot of ways, and that’s a free app.

I’m on iPhone and CubaseiCPro does not automatically see my DAW, so I have to enter my IP address manually for my DAW. Only thing is that after I place the cursor and type the first number for the IP address the interface goes away. I read one other review from one year ago about this issue and apparently the developers have not addressed this absolute roadblock of an issue! I’ve been a Cubase client for ages since the 1990’s and I am stunned that they would let a problem like this exist with their phone app. Being that I can’t use it at all, I give it 1 star. If there was a lower score I’d go there!! 🤬👎

I don’t understand why a company as technologically advanced as Steinberg doesn’t keep an eye on their apps so they are not crashing.
Open CubaseiCPro on the iPad and it loads cockeyed with panels hidden by other panels with an option to enter IP address. Start to type in address; crash.
One of the reasons I purchased Cubase 12 pro was because there was the, supposed, ability to remote into the application using an iOS iPad.

Please, fix this one?

CubaseiCPro is an indispensable part of my home recording setup as someone with no budget for a hardware DAW controller. That said, I’m disappointed that CubaseiCPro has been neglected for so long. Only utilizing roughly 80% of the available display real estate on the flagship iPhones (to say nothing of “Max” size phones) is unacceptable for an app of such great utility in 2020. I hope that the developers have something in the works for CubaseiCPro. If it were brought fully into the present like Cubasis 3, I would gladly pay another one-time fee or even a yearly subscription to use an updated version of CubaseiCPro.

But im very disappointed to PAY for an app i used for free for years because the only way you can use it is if you already bought a copy of cubase. As a 9.5 pro user and using cubase since v3, im feeling quite betrayed. This should be included with your cu license. But its a great app so my 4.5* goes to 1* really but for sake of peace and prosperity ill keep it to 3*

Sure it plays and stops but what else? The point of a controller is to control the whole thing... right? Save your time and money and get teamviewer on your iPad and computer....full control it’s like your Pc screen on your iPad! Oh wait it is your pc screen on your iPad.

Currently using CubaseiCPro while tracking a 5 piece band live. The artists enjoy it as they feel they have more “control” for their ears.
Connecting to a PC was simple after you read the instructions and install the Steinberg Ski Remote on your PC/Mac. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!
Con: CubaseiCPro seems to loose connection to the PC every so often.

I record music by myself and I'm so glad to have CubaseiCPro. 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 CubaseiCPro . I also don't like that the project is displayed in minutes/seconds instead of bars/beats.

I hope CubaseiCPro sees more development. But as it is I'm very glad it exists.

Just bought CubaseiCPro and worked fine with Cubase 11.5. Then I upgraded to 12 3 days later and it gets stuck “Connecting”. Turns out had to manually add Cubase 12 to windows firewall allowed (thanks Steinberg Lars). Working great now.

The latest ios update created a bug that needs to be fixed asap! My ip wifi connection was disconnected and now the keyboard is all buggy preventing me from entering my ip address again to connect. Never was an issue before - Please fix the key keyboard asap!

Great app. I wish it would use Bluetooth instead of WiFi as I don’t normally keep my recording computer connected to the internet.

I’ve used this for several years, works great! Super handy for many uses. Having access to my macros is very convenient and really saves time.

Super handy tool to remote control your sessions without using teamviewer or other apps. I use this a lot, so glad they got it updated and fixed w new iOS

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.

If you look at version history you’ll see that CubaseiCPro was abandoned by Steinberg, and I was Ted nearly 20 bucks… or so we thought! I see that a few months ago the dev team got back on it! I just noticed this tonight, downloaded the update, linked it up with the Remote SKI app, and it works beautifully. Instantaneous response, and a slew of buttons that are actually helpful, like a single tap to open the Pool or Media Bay or any of the mixers. Full transport control on the bottom… and the mixer faders are actually resizable and useful. FINALLY!

I’ve used Cubase IC since Cubase 7 and have never had an issue. CubaseiCPro functions like midi controllers that cost hundreds of $$$. You can use it on a phone or tablet and it keeps your work area free from wire clutter and extra boxes that only do one thing. Keep updating, Steinberg. It’s awesome!

After struggling with some connection issues I am again able to connect to my Windows 7 64bit Cubase 9 installation and control it remotely. Great for recording from another rm when there is no second person to man Cubase. Make sure you follow instructions and ad SKI Remote to your Devices-Device Set Up-Remote Devices in Cubase.
Thanks to Lars for his responsiveness!

So far I have just been playing around with this, but oh my, it is just SO COOL!! I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and an M1 iPad Pro, and it is kind of like having a double monitor, double keyboard, double touch screen version of Nuendo running!

There are some frustrations of course. Chief of these being that it only seems to respond to the touch screen, and not mouse moves.

I agree with some users that it would be nice if CubaseiCPro got some updates BUT it still works perfectly for me and never crashes.

I think more and more people will use Apple’s newer sidecar feature so from a business perspective it might be tough for Steinberg to justify the expense of giving CubaseiCPro updates.

Moved recently and my play/recording space is now separate from my DAW/computer space. Love the level of control iCPro affords me over Cubase remotely.
