It’s not my cup of tea, but I’m sure any enthusiastic Cubase user with a knack for using this style of technology will enjoy iC Air. It gives you the ability to control Cubase 7 and Cubase Artist 7 with the movement of your hands: adjust faders and EQ. Cubase iC Air works with the Leap Motion controller or depth cameras developed using the Intel perceptual technology SDK 2013. However, it’s likely a lot of people will love the idea and learn to pick it up straight away, it’s no doubt impressive. Steinberg has introduced Cubase iC Air a free system that brings gestural control to Cubase. If you’ve already used your mouse and keyboard to check your Twitter, do a post on Facebook, flick through your emails and open up your DAW, surely the use of a mouse and keyboard is a lot more effective than the gesture control aspect. But it just seems like more of a novelty rather than something practical and useful. No doubt it’s a step forward for the future of music production and it does open up a lot of doors for interactivity between the user and the software. In the way that you’d be trying to press something on your iPhone but it’s so small that you keep hitting the wrong thing. A year or so back I remember coming across a video of a person controlling HSO articulations/cc1 events via hand gestures done over a some sort of receiver upon the desktop. I could understand the use of this technology within games as a recreational aspect but in terms of more intricate software like DAWs such as Cubase and software like Final Cut Pro, I could see the whole gesture controller element being quite messy and frustrating. Now personally, the whole idea of waving your hands around in front of your computer screen seems a bit absurd, I have read something previously about the use of sonic pulses being used in phones to control apps and games in a similar way.
