Cubase iC Pro (discontinued) A Professional Remote Control for Your Studio Workstation For producers and engineers working with Steinberg's Cubase or Nuendo on a desktop, the primary workflow challenge often involves constant physical interaction with the main computer. This interrupts the creative flow during recording sessions, especially when positioned away from the desk with an instrument or directing performers. Cubase iC Pro addresses this by transforming your mobile device into a comprehensive wireless control surface, allowing for seamless DAW operation from anywhere in the room. Core Remote Control Functionality This application establishes a stable Wi-Fi connection with a host computer running a compatible version of Cubase or Nuendo. It mirrors critical sections of the DAW's interface, providing tactile control over transport functions, mixer channels, and software instruments. Users can arm tracks, adjust faders, pan signals, and manipulate plugin parameters directly from the tablet or phone screen. The layout is customizable, enabling you to create views that show only the necessary controls for a specific task, such as a dedicated mixer window for balancing levels or a channel strip view for detailed EQ tweaking. Key Operational Advantages The utility of Cubase iC Pro lies in its integration and reduction of workflow friction. It is not a standalone music creation app but a dedicated extension of a professional desktop audio environment. Multi-Touch Mixer Control: Manage volume faders, panning, mute, solo, and record arm for multiple tracks simultaneously with intuitive touch gestures. Complete Transport Navigation: Full control over play, stop, record, loop, and locate functions without needing to touch the main computer. Direct Plugin Parameter Access: Remote adjustment of insert and send effect settings, including EQ, dynamics, and virtual instruments, in real-time. Customizable Control Layouts: Create and save different window sets tailored for mixing, recording, or editing tasks. Extended Metering and Monitoring: View detailed level meters and track names clearly from a distance for accurate session oversight. We suggest trying Cubase iC Pro to experience a more fluid and flexible studio session, freeing you from the confines of your desktop during critical recording and mix phases. Please note: This application requires a Wi-Fi network and a running instance of Cubase or Nuendo on a separate computer. It functions as a remote control and does not operate independently. Some features may depend on your specific DAW version.
