![]() With hardware that supports ASIO Direct Monitoring in Windows, Nuendo-controlled near-zero-latency monitoring, independent of host-buffer size. (There is a technical preview for 64-bit Vista, so you know there's a roadmap for the future.) Works with pretty much any interface-on Mac, anything Core Audio, including built-in I/O on Windows, anything DirectX or ASIO, although the latter will give you lower latencies. Cross platform-works on Mac OS X 10.4+ and Windows 32-bit XP and Vista. The ability to open more than one project (and specify which one is active) so you can copy/paste between projects. Almost everything within the interface-window layouts, key commands, zoom levels, menus, etc.-is customizable, and it's relatively painless to switch between user schemes or even move them between workstations. (The geek in me wishes the renaming system allowed use of UNIX-style regular expressions.) Built-in workflows for backing up projects without wasting disk space for unused media. Comprehensive tools for managing project and media files, including a powerful renaming scheme that allows you to quickly record a bunch of songs, takes, or sections of a score into one project, and then rename and organize the media files later. Mono outputs-you're not forced to feed mono tracks to stereo outputs, where panning-law can inadvertently change levels this is otherwise a dealbreaker if you're mixing out of the box on a large-format console. Easy on the eyes-pseudo-3D is used only where it makes sense, and although color and contrast are customizable, the user interface looks fine out of the box more importantly, it facilitates the user experience instead of hampering it. Integrated elastic-audio editing tools for pitch-shifting, time-stretching, and time-alignment to tempo map, video, MIDI, etc. 32-bit floating-point audio engine that allows recording at up to 192 kHz, without fear of unknowingly overloading the mix engine importing, editing, and mixing to 384 kHz. Non-proprietary project and audio file formats-I can import, export, and archive without worry. Check Steinberg's website for details.) So let me start by listing in one paragraph some of the more readily-graspable reasons why Nuendo 4.2 is my DAW of choice:Īutomatic delay compensation throughout, no matter how much delay is required-the only time it's not 100% automatic is when you "ping" external hardware inserts so that Nuendo can calculate and then compensate for the number of samples it takes an impulse to loop back. (Although I use Nuendo, most of what I say here applies to Cubase too. ![]() ![]() I'm afraid that this is an unwieldily long review, and even at its length, I'm only touching on a few of the countless points worth discussing if you are considering Nuendo or its near-identical sibling Cubase as your primary DAW platform.
