New maintenance update for Cubase available and its headliner is ARA support! 10.0.30 boasts ARA 2 compatibility, with over 40 fixes and small workflow enhancements for you to discover.
Cubase 10.0.30 New Feature
ARA 2 support is now available with this version. This feature can be found under the Extensions heading. There are three ways to apply ARA-capable Extensions to an audio event:
– Audio Menu > Extensions > Choose Extensions (e.g. Melodyne)
– Context Menu on Audio Events > Extensions > Choose Extensions
– Info Line in project window for selected Audio Events > Extensions > There you can either select an Extension, or you can read which Extension is already active for the selected event.
The Extension item only appears if ARA-enabled extensions have been found by Cubase. If there is nothing on the system, you won’t be able to see it in the menu.
Issues & Improvements
Audio Alignment
In Cubase 10.0.30, the Audio Alignment function is also able to turn the phase of the signal by 180° if necessary, to provide clean and steady sound.
– When applying Audio Alignment with the Prefer Time Shifting option, the inversed phase of the target is detected and corrected automatically. The phase inverse is applied as a real-time process.
– The real-time Phase Inverse process can also be applied manually by setting the parameter in the Info Line.
