'We considered all of the high-end mastering systems, and liked much about each of them. However, the AudioCube was far superior in terms of signal-processing power, with over 40 different stereo and multi-channel mastering and restoration tools available. We had a demo system here for several weeks, and couldn't imagine working without it.'

'After a lot of research and testing of several audio workstations for our mastering facility, we decided the AudioCube is the complete system we had been looking for. The ease of use of the system, the sound quality of the VPI’s , the overall speed and the on-line tech support really puts the AudioCube way above all the other workstations.'

'I’m thrilled to announce that the AudioCube System is now our platform for CD mastering here at Oasis. Editing is extremely fast and flexible. The mastering VPI’s (plugins) are the finest that I’ve heard. Overall this system helps us create a better product. I’m so glad I found you. Keep up the good work!'

'For professional audio restoration and mastering the AudioCube is top of the line. The “Ferrari-Class” in speed, precision, resolution and quality. For film sound restoration, Cube-Tec has made another leap forward with a unique collection of VPI’s exclusive to this platform. Unsurpassed in quality, the AudioCube system tackles anomalies in optical soundtracks with ease and transparency. The philosophy,” the right tool for the job is half the job” applies to restoration and AudioCube has truly raised the bar! For LB labs, the full-scale restoration/ mastering setup of the AudioCube also blew the doors wide open for my company to handle restoration in high-resolution music recordings. The scalability of this system, the QUADRIGA for archival, mastering options in both PCM and DSD, plus with the DVD-A authoring solutions, Cube-Tec has found a new way to spell success! My compliments to the programmers in Germany for their skills and commitment behind the AudioCube .'

'We purchased our first AudioCube 4-II in 2000. After years of using the industry's standard for mastering, it was time to upgrade to a high resolution system. The AudioCube met and exceeded our expectations. The VPI's are extremely smooth, musical and easy to use and there is a tool for every need. We had been accustomed to the best audio restoration tools available and the Cube's VPI's simply blew us away with their speed and accuracy to detail. Now, in the Fall of 2003, we have purchased our second system, the AC5 D650. The ability and dedication of the Cube-Tec staff to continue to come up with new and exciting VPI's that work at even faster speeds is just one of the many reasons why we chose the AudioCube again. With this great system, we look forward to moving into DVD-A and SACD in the future.'

'I love working on the Cube. It has been a quantum leap forward in efficiency and ease of editing and I can't think of anything in the way of features that these guys didn't think of first. Working on it has been a real pleasure. I recently used SpectralDeHiss Expert on some originals that had been recorded on cassette and I was amazed at how well it cleaned them up.'

' When choosing our new audio workstations, the importance of providing clients with a comprehensive range of services at the highest possible level of quality led us to the Cube-Tec AudioCube 5. With CubeDVD-A and both CD and DSD mastering capabilities, combined with one of the most powerful arrays of 24/192 restoration and mastering tools we've seen, the AudioCube enables Gateway to add significant value to our clients' projects .'

'We at Bernie Grundman Mastering have always gone to great lengths to insure that our equipment is of the highest quality. When considering any changes in our equipment, we must always consider that we have a significant reputation to uphold. Our engineers have mastered many of the industries' top recordings. Some are "landmark" recordings such as Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill", Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and Steely Dan's "Aja". Some of our current artists include Joni Mitchell, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Beck, Bare Naked Ladies, Cypress Hill, Goo Goo Dolls, Janet Jackson, Lucy Pearl, Missy Elliott, and Fastball, to name but a few. All of this adds up to a passion for having only the highest quality tools at our disposal. That is why after months of testing, the superior sound quality of the AudioCube convinced us to make it our primary workstation. They also have an upcoming 5.1 system, which we expect to be the most advanced 5.1 system on the market - we're going to put that in our new 5.1 mastering suite.'

'At The Sounding Post, the vast majority of our restoration work is done for major Hollywood film studios, resulting in the need for us to meet uncompromising quality standards, as well as strict delivery deadlines. We installed our first AudioCube in May of 2000 and it has consistently exceeded our clients' expectations. The addition of the second, multi-channel AudioCube 5 increases our throughput and enables us to significantly expand the scope of services we offer our client base. In addition to the AC5, we recently added Quadriga to our AudioCube 4 system, enabling us to offer automated, quality controlled audio archival services to our client base.'

'When we decided to replace our existing digital workstation, we had three key priorities - audio quality, productivity, and file compatibility. The AudioCube exceeded our expectations in all three areas. The audio quality is outstanding, and the VPI's are amazing - some of the best digital processing I've used. The editing and processing is extremely fast (and we have to do stuff fast here... the A&R guys are so used to having mastering "just down the hall" - I have to be able to turn projects around on a dime). I can archive the sound files in WAV format on CD-R which is what our parent company (EMI) has laid out in their archiving specifications as one of the best digital archive formats.'

'We are accustomed to having access to top-notch audio restoration capabilities, having invested in high-end digital audio workstations with noise-removal tools as early as 1992. The AudioCube increases these capabilities for us by an order of magnitude through the sophistication and subjective quality of its audio processing algorithms, the elegance of its user interface and the sheer speed at which it operates.'

'The thorough and consistent evaluation of each reel when dealing with tens of thousands of tapes is now achievable. Our clients can feel confident that VidiPax will re-archive their material with exceptional quality and documentation using QUADRIGA .'

'This is the future of mastering", comments Fred Kevorkian, mastering engineer for Absolute Audio, who recently used the AudioCube for The Dave Matthews Band live album due out this winter. "The AudioCube was ideal for the Dave Matthews Band project. Some of the obstacles we encountered when mastering this album were bad audio connections and digital clocking problems, which the AudioCube handled flawlessly.'

'The Cube-Tec AudioCube is a mastering engineers dream come true. The sonic quality is excellent and the clean-up and manipulation tools at my disposal are nothing short of phenomenal! The Cube's wide variety of audio clean-up and adjustment parameters, in conjunction with allowing me to work with true 24 bit, 96k sound files (there are other options), and its multiple dithering scheme option, puts state of the art high end CD Mastering within my reach for the first time. And what really blows me away is the fact that it's not static. It's an ever evolving piece that can change as our needs change. The audio restoration capabilities of this device are nothing short of amazing! It's set up to process in real time (!) with multiple "Virtual Precision Instruments ". In fact thanks to the "audition" features on a number of the VPI's , I can pinpoint problem areas and adjust my parameters on the fly. That way I can maximize the noise removal and preserve the sonic integrity of the sound file without even having to load it into the hard drives. I can use it like any other piece of outboard gear, which is a great time saver. And best of all, I no longer encountering weird digital artifacts. It's great!'

'The thing that impresses me most about the system is the remarkable combination of VERY high quality processing and great throughput. For restoration, it can't be beat for its speed and sound....and it does some things with ease that no others system can without doing handstands!'

'The AudioCube is not only DVD audio ready but also allows us to create MP3 files for our clients who may not be able to supervise the sessions in person. We can email files to our clients for reference and they can approve edits almost immediately, rather than wait overnight for a CD.'

'The Cube-Tec AudioCube represents a true advance in the audio processing capabilities of the mastering and restoration industries. This system addresses an enormous range of tasks from repair and restoration to EQ and creative effects, all of which can be processed at high bit rates (64-bit in most cases) and high sample rates (up to 192kHz). The system's new editor, WaveLab 3.0, is clean and well organized. Similar commands are grouped together for ease of use with unlimited Undo's available. I was able to learn the editing basics in only an afternoon. That's not to say the AudioCube isn't powerful. Once past the basics, you can immerse yourself in a wealth of options. These options truly allow you to make the system feel comfortable, rather than confining you to presets that are not of your choosing. From start to finish, the AudioCube provides the tools to create a master of exceptional sonic quality.'

'For the last two years I have been searching for a high resolution editing system with full integration of mastering and high definition restoration tools. Prior to testing the AudioCube VPI's , I never felt comfortable using "plug-ins" for high level mastering or restoration work. But the AudioCube's 32 / 64 bit floating point processing and 24 Bit / 96kHz resolution completely turned me around. With the AudioCube's integration of mastering and restoration tools, I can work within a single environment from start to finish. And more importantly, thanks to the real time processing power of the AudioCube's 24/96 restoration VPI's[url], we have been able to launch our ftp site, [url=http://www.denoise.com]DeNoise.com .'

'As the leading source for old-time radio enthusiasts, Radio Spirits often encounters source material that can be very challenging for any audio restoration software to repair. We were extremely impressed with the AudioCube's speed and power. Combine that with the easy-to- use WaveLab editing software, AudioCube was an easy choice for us to meet our ever growing demand and shorter deadlines while maintaining the highest quality.' UPDATE 'I just finished a project on our new AudioCube in one week. It normally would take 3-4 weeks to complete with our previous system. The AudioCube not only sounds great and is easy to use, it is so much faster than any other digital audio workstation I've worked with!'

'We recently completed a project combining 24 bit mixes (done this year) with Vinyl disc transfers from the 1970's. The Audio Cube's powerful restoration tools made the transition from new to old seamless and nearly undetectable.'

'The commitment demonstrated by Cube-Tec to creating new and more powerful sound restoration tools for this platform was a major consideration in choosing the AudioCube system. Our engineers are especially impressed with the sonic quality and intuitive design of the AudioCube sound restoration tools.'

'We integrated the AudioCube into our studio work environment without a hitch. The user interface looks and feels great. The Steinberg WaveLab editor is a powerhouse, a highly efficient editor, and the batch processing feature is an incredible time saver. The restoration tools are the best I've ever worked with Azimuth and DeNoiser are magical. I adapted to the mastering VPIs immediately. In particular, I love the analog EQ, smooth and extremely musical.'

'I have been actively using Cube-Tec's AudioCube 3 audio restoration system for film and television post production and found it to be a valuable tool in a post production environment. I use the system in two main areas: The first is restoring bad location dialog. Generally, contamination originates with the location recordist or in transfer. Things like radio mic noise, dirty DAT heads (digital glitch). Sometimes I hack at actual ambient contamination such as rain, fans, camera noise, rivers/streams, and gas fire-places. The second is SFX remastering. I load SFX from sources like 1/4", DAT or CD, right to our m-Soft ef-fects server over the network and do all processing on the remote volume, which eliminates time consuming file transfers. Generally for a 20-min. reel of 1/4" it takes me 2-3 hours to go from tape to live on the WWW. All in all I am very impressed with this system. It's fast and clean and I have experienced very few software problems (network implication is kind of finicky). Those guys in Germany are extremely anal with their programming and won't release anything until it is 100%. As far as ease of use, I would be confident in saying that someone with operational knowledge of Windows computers and a good ear could pick it up in less than a day.'

'Cube-Tec's AudioCube 3 - II is a powerful system that takes the science of mastering to a new level, providing a professional tool set for mastering, archiving and restoration chores. And in an era when it's in-creasingly harder to separate the pros from the players, systems such as AudioCube 3 - II may be just the ticket.'

'The Audio Cube provides us with many new sonic possibilities. The editor is nimble and easy to use. The restorative powers of the VPI's are simply amazing - strong, flexible and VERY accurate. My clients do not believe their ears . . . Pure Magic.'

'Cube-Tec's SpectralDeHiss completely saved a section of unusable production dialog in a recent feature film done here at Chace. The track contained some complex high-frequency ringing that moved up and down the frequency spectrum at random. By taking a few sections of the program in between dialog and having the De-Hiss learn them I was able to create a very accurate noise analysis. I adjusted the "Frequency Smoothing" parameter in the noise floor section to 0 so that it would use the most detailed noise profile and adjusted the multi-band Noise Reduction Equalizer to really focus in on the frequency ranges that I needed to address. The result: a ring-free dialog track that maintained the vibrant quality of the dialog without any audible artifacts.'

'At Dallas Audio Post Group the Cube-Tec’s VPI’s have become THE choice for audio restoration and noise reduction. All other noise reduction systems and plug-ins are now either powered off or have been moved to the “unused plug-ins” folder. The Cube Tec VPI’s have recently been employed to clean up dialogue on a feature, and to restore location audio that was recorded in many difficult locations across the globe for a corporate client. The VPI’s are simply outstanding. They clearly out-perform anything else on the market; Great performance, no nasty artifacts and a great value. What more could we ask for?'

'Cube-Tec's RepairFilter and DeBuzz filter established themselves as essential tools while working on a recent documentary. Much of the dialogue was recorded in a machine shop, with lathes and milling machines running in the background. Using the RepairFilter and DeBuzz filter I was able to selectively and precisely remove most of the distracting resonant frequencies from these machines. This not only made the dialogue much more intelligible, but saved some interviews from being either sub-titled or edited out completely.'

'At Buttons Sound we specialize in audio post for television, radio and film - including HDTV and 5.1 cinema mixing, so we encounter a wide variety of noise problems and are expected to provide solutions. A recent 30 episode TV project for a major production company presented us with some very challenging RF mic noise problems. After trying everything in our extensive arsenal of Pro Tools plugins, we turned to Cube-Tec's DeBuzz which we had recently purchased. It not only completely removed the RF noise - it did so without artifacts, and without sucking the life out of the track. We then utilized Cube-Tec's SpectralDeHiss tool to remove ambient noise from outdoor scenes with equal success.'

'We installed Cube-Tec VPI's on our Pro Tools HD system and I can summarize my opinion of them in one sentence: They're the best thing to happen to noise reduction since the CAT 43.'

'As engineer for the Grateful Dead, I use several noise reduction plug-ins to deal with the problems of older analog masters. Recently, I had a particularly difficult problem to solve.drum tracks recorded 20 db down in the mud. I was given a demo of SpectralDeHiss Expert for Pro Tools by Jeff Briss at Cutting Edge Audio. After I received a brief overview of operation, I was able to remove more hiss and leave more ambiance than I could with any of my other noise removal systems. I now turn to SpectralDeHiss regularly when I have a severe hiss problem.'

'I have been working with Walt Disney Records for 16 years. When they approached me with the idea of preserving the audio product recorded since 1956, it became obvious that I did not have the tools required to restore the product to the quality expected by Disney and the countless fans of the music. I had heard great things about the Cube-Tec audio plug-ins. In comparing them to the competition I found that the Cube-Tec plug-ins were far superior, and capable of providing the restoration quality I was looking for. After a couple of days with Rob Poretti from Sascom, I was ready to embark on the first project - the restoration of the '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' soundtrack. Cube-Tec has surpassed my expectations and the results are truly astounding. We have encountered hum, clicks, pops, tape noise and all kinds of optical clicks that we have removed quite effectively using these tools. Now I couldn't imagine tackling a project of this size, importance and difficulty without the Cube-Tec tools at my disposal.'

'AudioCube and Foenics ran very reliably and without any real problems. They proved to be continuously reliable for the typical daily forensic work cases, whereby all available VPIs and Foenics Tools were used. In particular, the RepairFilter , the FreeFilter and the SpectralDeHiss Expert were used, as well as the entire range of Foenics tools, which were customised for use within the forensic field.'

'AudioCube offers the ideal tools for handling our very sensitive historical material. The DeClicker and the DeCrackler achieve optimum results on the oldest phonograms. Being one of the very first system users, we are highly satisfied with the continuous development of the tools and the good basis of communication with Houpert Digital Audio and its representatives.'

'The most remarkable thing about the AudioCube is the successful implementation of the workflow to handle the Digitisation, Archiving and Restoration of analogue recordings. This concept offers the possibility to move from the analogue tape to a remastered digital copy within the shortest amount of time. Real highlights are the excellent PlugIns for Restoration and Mastering.'

'The AudioCube VPI's facilitate effective removal of disturbances without any side effects. Tools such as the DeCrackler or the NoiseDeModulator are unique. They have even enabled me to restore recordings of the Vienna Philharmonics and the National Opera of Vienna, that were not restorable before.'

'The beauty of CubeDVD-A is that the complete system sticks very truly to the DVD-Audio specifications. This makes DVD-Audio authoring possible on a highly professional level, and we are able to use the AudioCube System with CubeDVD-A for any level of project. From the beginning, the cooperation with the AudioCube Team has been outstanding - they listen to you and react very professionally.'

'The QUADRIGA graphical user interface is well designed and the operational simplicity of the software modules results in a short learning curve. The batch processor, while running in the background, facilitates a fast and - above all - fully automated packaging (processing) of the digitised Audio contents.'

'We have installed QUADRIGA , AudioCube and SurroundCube systems throughout our complex of seven studios, processing audio from disc and cylinders, magnetic audio tape, wire and sound film, optical sound film and digital media. The network is stable, and the restoration tools have proven to be very effective, and continue to develop. It's been good to see Siggi and Harald from Cube - Tec making the trip down-under to meet with the growing user community here. All of the discussions to date indicate that development of the system to realise the full potential of the QUADRIGA in meta-data management and super- efficient audio archiving is an exciting challenge.'

'The ability to automatically import and export metadata in the AFI makes the Quadriga indispensable when processing large collections.'

'For me, Boogie Park with their exclusively digital mastering offer a good counterargument against the commonly held opinion that in the area of mastering it is necessary to work with analogue tools. Warm, clear, and full sound that makes analogue mastering unnecessary.'

'I was very happy with the AudioCube ...The excellent quality of the filters and the supression of the DeNoiser had me totally convinced we made the right decision.I was equally happy about the simple operation of the system - it makes doing a job a real pleasure.'

'With the AudioCube , it was the first time we did a complete restoration job in 96 kHz, so we could work with the highest quality currently possible. To do this, we used the VPI's and the editing functionality of the WaveLab editor. The AudioCube was integrated into our our studio environment without any problems and was very easy to handle. The user interfaces of the VPI's are extremely intuitive to operate and we only needed a very short time to get the desired results.'

'My restoration of the CD 'Happy Trails' from Quicksilver Messenger Service, an absolute cult album of 1969, got the highest score (five stars) twice in 'Stereo' (a german magazine) Quotation from the critique: 'Due to the excellent remasterings even six stars would be appropriate.' The new CD of Tic Tac Toe I mixed and mastered is extraordinary in sound. The sound of the video beats everything else by several lengths on MTV and VIVA, thanks to the Loudness Maximizer which brings the necessary power into the production. Also my new working on the new pieces for the second Single of Phillip Boa at BMG-Ariola was received enthusiastically. I have also remastered the most important productions of the ZTT-Label. Amongst these were Trevor Horn's world-famous productions of the band Frankie goes to Hollywood which were a tonal milestone in the 80's. Repertoire Records: 'Thanks to the AudioCube the recordings sound several times better.' In 'Stereo' 10, 2000, all remasterings of Frankie goes to Hollywood now also got the highest scoring. Quotation: 'The quality of the remasterings is the best argument for the new publication, and it will hardly be reached by the new remixes of these productions.'"

'Due to our long-standing contact to the HDA company we are always familiar with their latest developments. Therefore, we were convinced to do the right thing in taking their latest version of the AudioCube. The high-quality AudioCube ideally adds to our existing Sonic System. It begins where a complex system comes up against its limits in flexibility and speed. Among other ways of usage, we use the Cube to produce DDP Masters and in the field of sound restoration (for films, shellacs, and also for real distortions like buzzing and suchlike). Above all, the prospects of the yet to be developed SurroundCube are especially interesting for us, since we increasingly shift our emphasis to this area owing to media such as DVD. We are looking forward to this practical tool which will help us meet the demands of the market on a respectable level in a corresponding quality.'

'Cube-Tec deserves to be seen and heard in the UK, the US and indeed everywhere else, as its combination of versatility, quality and innovation may well be unique. (...) Crossing over into the creative area is the Deesser, which I reckon is the best I have ever heard.'

'Without a doubt we can say that Cube-Tec is one of the most serious manufacturers of digital audio mastering and restoration systems. (...) the AudioCube made a very professional impression. Whether they will succeed in converting the small group of professionals to their system remains the question. Only time can tell.'

'..., that this workstation is not a 'One size fits all', which has a little bit of everything but does not come up to anybody's needs - on the contrary, the AudioCube is very specialized tool and focussed on sophisticated audio restoration, CD-Mastering and (...) on Audio-DVD-Mastering. All this functionality is to regard the cream topping for CD-Mastering and this device has lots of it.'

'We use the AudioCube quite universally, e.g. to process Radio Edits, for CD Mastering and Vinyl Mastering. For example we have mastered NANA and Randy Crawford with it. For many months we daily use the AudioCube for 10 hours and more. Therefore we must rely on it a hundred percent. Earlier, we have worked a lot with Digidesign's ProMaster20 and various outboard gear. Today, many processing steps can be carried out better by using the AudioCube . Especially for everyday use you need a device that is straightforward and works quickly. And the quality of the Virtual Instruments is really excellent. Even if maximum loudness is the desired task, Magneto and the Loudness Maximizer will not compromise the sound.'

'The AudioCube concept is modern and leads into the future. We see the AudioCube as a welcome addition to our Sonic Solutions and SADiE installations. With a daily capacity of more than 2.5 million CD's, we are the secondlargest CD producer world-wide. The name Sonopress stands for cutting edge technology and competence. We can't afford to let ourselves in for an adventure. Therefore we have very intensively tested the AudioCube during a one year evaluation period, before we finally decided to get it. The high quality, the open concept on a standard multitasking operating system and the short distance to the developers were of major importance for this decision. As a result, additional DDP Premastering possibilities, that facilitated the integration into our in-house ATM network, were implemented on our suggestion. Our sound engineers are very pleased by AudioCube's high audio quality and the simple handling of its virtual instruments.'

'In the past I have used several de-noising and restoration plugins to get location sound free of undesirable elements such as camera noise, hiss and buzz. Usually all of them were reasonably effective at removing most of the noise, but they left clearly audible artifacts. Voices sounded so metallic and unnatural that it would have been better to leave it alone and accept the noise than to de-noise them with those inadequate plugins. Using Cube-Tec's SpectralDeHiss Expert in combination with RepairFilter and DeBuzz enables me to work with a much higher level of precision than any other plugins, and even when using extreme settings a voice still sounds like a voice because there are no artifacts.'

Clients often supply source material which is less than ideal. Effective noise removal without the introduction of noise removal artifacts during our post production workflow is essential. During a recent project a client supplied 8 hours of voice recordings with clocking error clicks. Re-recording was not an option. Using the De-clicker and De-Scratcher I was able to remove all the clicks, with no audible damage to the source recording... I was truly amazed. All products should work this well.

All Cube-Tec tools were very impressive from the very first tests. Since then, they've become my first reference when talking about mastering and restoration. The processing quality, versatility and the practical appeal of the VPIs made the tools excellent not only for the professional usage but also for teaching purposes.

'The WDR migrates 10,000 audio CDs a month into the new audio archive. The fact that the initial transfer from analog to CD had already been done made it possible for us to take advantage of the latest technology – namely CD-Inspector from Cube-Tec – to accelerate the transfer process. Splitting the project into two steps and starting early with the labour intensive, manual portion enabled the utilization of the automated, quality controlled system from Cube-Tec to fill up the new mass-storage in high speed. The CD-Inspector system has proven to be both reliable and efficient.'
