![]() OK, not Steinberg’s fault, but this would mean any audio I want to process in this way in future would have to be done externally before importing it into Nuendo. Unfortunately, this is only available as AAX, and not VST or VST3. After importing audio, the first thing I usually do is a first pass using the plug-in version of Absentia DX from Todd-AO. ![]() #STEIBERG NUENDO PRO#Not a huge job, but something I do a lot in Pro Tools, so thought it would be a great way to compare the two. The job was taking a few audio clips that require some audio restoration. I thought the best thing to do would be use it on a real-life job, which wasn’t time-critical so I had time to learn and figure things out, but have carry out the same tasks that I usually would in Pro Tools, so I could get a sense of how it works. So, first thing was to create a new session and find my way around. Again, not something that affects day-to-day usage of the software, but if I had bought Nuendo, I’m not sure I’d appreciate having adverts in my face every time I launch the software. I know Adobe do something similar, but that does seem to be focussed on learning new things, whereas this has the feel of being an advert. This is all well and good, however the left-hand section called “news and tutorials” seems more like a big advert for Steinberg and their other products. The first window you’re presented with is the Steinberg Hub, where you can create new projects, open existing ones, access user manuals, support and the Nuendo forum. The opening speed of Pro Tools isn’t really something that bothers me, as once it’s open for the day that’s usually it, but seeing Nuendo in comparison is definitely something that immediately stood out for me. I’m used to opening Pro Tools for the first time after a new installation, and it always feels like a rather sluggish process as it loads all its features and analyses your plug-ins folder. When I first launched Nuendo 11, I was amazed at how quickly the application opened. First Impressions And Unexpected Features #STEIBERG NUENDO LICENSE#The whole process was quick an efficient, and after activating the license on the eLicenser I was ready to go. My first impression was thinking how much better this is than Avid Connect, although I haven’t tried the version released with Pro Tools 2021.6 - so I can only compare this to previous releases. #STEIBERG NUENDO SOFTWARE#You enter this in to the Steinberg Download Assistant, choose the software you want to download (this also lets you download other software such as SpectraLayers and add-ons for Nuendo) all in one place. First of all you have to register for a download with Steinberg, who then send you an activation code. Integrated tools such as panners and decoders for working with Ambisonics mixes (released with Nuendo 10) Integrated re-conforming tools when working with picture changes during a production along with Video Cut Detection ![]() Here are some of the features that Nuendo 11 features (some of which were added in previous versions) that I thought would be worth checking out:įully integrated ADM Authoring for Dolby Atmos Home Entertainment mixes What Features In Nuendo Make It Suitable For Immersive Workflows? Unlike products that use iLok, there’s no option for machine or cloud authorisation, so a physical USB key is required if you want to try out the demo. Luckily, I had an eLicenser key (Steinberg’s equivalent of an iLok) from when I previously demoed Nuendo, so didn’t need to buy one to demo version 11. I had demoed Nuendo before, when they released version 5.5, which was around the same time that Avid released Pro Tools 9 (if I remember correctly), so it’s been quite a while since I’ve even had Nuendo on my Mac, let alone actually use it. What finally made me decide to download the demo version this week was the article posted on Production Expert, which asks the question Is Steinberg Nuendo 11 The Solution For Dolby Atmos? After reading the article I decided I have nothing to lose by downloading the demo and seeing what I think of it. This made me think it might be worth taking a further look at, but after visiting the website again didn’t go any further. Then a few weeks ago, I received an email about an online seminar hosted by Netflix discussing Nuendo 11 and how it can be used for delivering immersive mixes using Dolby Atmos for Netflix content. I was aware of this release, but as a user of Pro Tools for the best part of the last 20 years didn’t pay it that much attention. #STEIBERG NUENDO UPDATE#In this article Tom Lowe gives in to curiosity and downloads Nuendo to see whether it is a potential alternative to Pro Tools for him in his work in immersive audio.Īt the end of 2020 Steinberg released the latest update of Nuendo, their flagship DAW, with version 11. ![]()
