Free iPhone Remote Control for Cubase 5

Steinberg has released a free remote control for iPhone and iPod Touch which works on Cubase 5 and Cubase Studio 5 (by the way, if you were to guess, which one would you think is th e cut-down version of the two? I will tell you: it's the one called 'Studio'. I know, it makes no sense, but then it probably follows the same logic as Starbucks refusing to sell you a 'small' coffee, they call it 'Tall'. Somebody give me a gun...)

Great to see a developer going the extra mile, considering that the remote control for Pro Tools comes at about £80! And that makes you wonder about Logic Pro, which is made by Apple, and whether it wouldn't it be a great idea to have a remote for the iPhone, which is made by Apple, that controls Logic Pro, did I mention it's made by Apple? and maybe also Final Cut Pro, Garange Band, which I believe are also made by Apple.
We can only hope, and in the meantime it's worth reminding that Logic can be in fact controlled remotely by the remote control included with every iMac and Mac laptop - simple but very effective, and also completely free.

Application possibilities of Cubase iC

  • Recording
    Cubase iC is of great assistance to musicians recording in a rehearsal room or home studio. With it, basic functions for recording different takes and parts are controlled via your iPhone or iPod Touch without using your computer each time.
  • Producing
    Producers can access the essential transport functions from all over the studio. This comes in handy when recording and mixing and during listening sessions with musicians and clients.
