  • Steinberg's MROS: The latest and last version of MROS with all the latest drivers

Cubase Tips and Tricks
  • To speed up the graphics, download NVDI 5 (recently deemed abandonware by the Atari-Forum community)
  • Don't try to run Cubase in more than two colours or with too many desk accessories or utilities.

    Download AUTOsort 4.1

    to arrange your AUTO folder programs correctly before running Cubase
  • Cubase still keeps the same timing priority as its previous versions, so only the first eight MIDI tracks are given priority. It is best to place drum and rhythm MIDI track in the first eight tracks. You can record multiple MIDI parts simultaneously and it's possible to pre-record MIDI recording.
