Steinberg has updated Cubasis – its mobile DAW for iOS – with support for AudioBus.
“Cubasis 1.1 takes full advantage of the many music apps supporting Audiobus, resulting in a flexible and more powerful DAW for your iPad than before,” notes Steinberg’s Carlos Mendoza Rohde.
Here’s what’s new in Cubasis 1.1:

Cubasis is available for US $49.99 in the App Store.

But no pan or volume automation that I can draw into each track. PLEASE ADD THIS.

Does iPad have processing power to run anything with this though?

I don’t own cubase yet for ipad, but audiobus just came out with an update to make stuff run better. I would imagine before, on ipad2, with say animoog and cubase running together with something else would have cause crackling and so on, but now maybe not.

Who’s the idiot who keeps hitting the negative button.
Hot debate. What do you think?

I’ve noticed on Synthtopia there is always one or two jackasses that hit the negative button on every post, regardless of the post content. Some people just suck.

I’d be happy with just adding Beatmaker 2, but Garageband would be awesome (ie straight into Logic). Who’d a thunk it?

I’d wait on Cubasis, it’s not ready for primetime. Way too many missing and poorly implemented features for the premium price. The VIs and effects are dumbed-down crap, and midi/audio editing is clunky at best. Lots of strange choices like 16bit support only, no time stretching, no mix automation, limit of 3 inserts per track… and inserts are pre-fader only, which means you can’t mix your track without attenuating the input to the effect. Super lame.
Hot debate. What do you think?

This is exactly what i’m looking for but on an Intel I5/I7 with a bigger touch panel.
They should port it to windows 8 and microsoft surface. It would be a real killer app

Why would they want to cannibalise the market for cubase on the pc?
