The first incarnation of Cubase was called Cubeat and Steinberg had to change the name for legal reasons. This was 1989 and the platform was Atari ST. But before that there was a Steinberg Pro 16 Midi sequencer for C64 (1984) and later Pro 24 for the Atari...Hink wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 3:08 pm there was also cubasis (sp) back in the 90's, I worked music retail then and one place I worked was MARs music where I was pro audio/recording/dj/keyboards...I didn't want to be in guitars. At the time I didn't do computer recording, HD and tape was my thing and I didn't even get my first computer until I moved onto my next gig at daddys junky music (nashua nh store). I remember a friend was wanting to hook me up with his old mac and everyone told me to stay away from cubase/cubasis because the learning curve was too steep. Then Sonar was released and we got training on that before the release (I was a little less lost) and we had training on PT. I didn't want a mac, I wanted to go with logic when it was still pc because our emagic rep was an old friend, he moved to cali to be an big wig in the company so I use to mess with logic when I could. Then I went to daddys,we hit exact order on daily numbers playing al bundys home address (9764 jeopardy lane though some episodes it was 9674 because kelly broke it) and I bought my first computer and home studio. Home studio had FL demo and CE2k, both I stuck with turning CE2k into Adobe Audition. At first I was still using an Akai dps 12 hd recorder, cakewalk for sequencing and ce2k to mix to but suddenly the akai became obsolete.
Cubasis was the name for a stripped down version Cubase LE as its called today...
Cakewalk for DOS was released two years earlier 1987. (no graphical interface as we know it...)
Pro 24 was already more than Cakewalk could deliver 1987 than Cubase, but I think they had been the first on IBM PCs...
a bit of beats can't hurt...
