Workflow, Workflow, Workflow   16-Dec-15

Our resident Steinberg Cubase expert Gaz Williams takes a look a the new Cubase 8.5 release. Less of a major milestone, it appears to be more of a workflow enhancement with numerous changes and tweaks to make it more 'pro' which is Steinberg's aim.

• Retrologue 2 - virtual analog extra oscillator, more FX and presets
• Ribbons - for hide/show interface aspects
• Import tracks from projects
• MIDI and Drum edit enhancements
