Versions
With three pay-for versions and two free bundled options (Ai and LE) Cubase 12 offers many entry points, and this can cause confusion, particularly when new headline features arrive. Find out more about the bundled versions here: steinberg. net/cubase/ai. Elements, Artist and Pro are all built on the same platform with a 64-bit audio engine and up to 192kHz operation. Track counts are unlimited in Artist and Pro, with Elements offering a very reasonable 64 MIDI, 48 audio, and 24 VST instrument tracks. Meanwhile Elements is limited to 24 physical inputs/outputs, Artist 32 and Pro a whopping 256. There are, of course, differences in the number of included plugins, instruments and bundled content.
