What Cubase Elements 16 is used for

Cubase Elements 16 is a digital audio workstation, or DAW, designed for computer-based music creation. From the first idea through to mixing, this music production software brings together the essential stages of a track: MIDI composition, audio recording, arrangement and track processing.

In a home studio, you can record a guitar, lay down vocals over an instrumental track or program drums. Its environment is suitable for electronic music, songs and instrumental projects. Orchestral sounds and notation tools also let you explore orchestral arrangement and composition for picture.
