New Features in Version 10.5.0
Highlights
Do you always deliver your best performances when not recording? The completely revised MIDI Retrospective Recording feature can help you to bring your A game to every project. Cubase tracks your MIDI input even when you are not recording and brings back your chords and melodies as a stacked cycle or a continuous performance with just one click. Even better, your performance is captured on multiple tracks. So no more worries — Cubase has your back. See Recovery of MIDI Recordings.
Maintaining a clear overview while your project is growing is essential for a fast and efficient workflow. With the new option to colorize complete channels in the MixConsole using track colors, you can focus on your mix by intuitively finding the tracks you are looking for. Even if you are sitting several meters away from the screen, you will not get lost in your mix. See Applying Channel Colors to Channel Controls.
Export videos including audio for your clients and collaborators directly from Cubase. The new video export feature lets you render videos as MP4 with H.264 video compression and 16-bit stereo audio in 44.1 or 48 kHz. Export the whole video or just footage within the locator range, adding the timecode to the video export for the next production process. See Export Video.
