It's not Steinberg's fault, but it means that users who need all of the video features will have to run the 32‑bit version for the time being.
However, it should be noted that QuickTime is currently not supported if you run the 64‑bit version of Nuendo, which is, frankly, a bit of a pain. The new video engine, in particular, which offers hardware acceleration and full HD support, will be welcomed by those using Nuendo for media production.
Cubase 5.5 and Nuendo 5 benefit from the many core, under‑the‑bonnet improvements, such as better multi‑core performance for systems, improved scrubbing, and a new video engine that finally makes Firewire video output possible for Windows users. It also includes functionality from the recently released Cubase 5.5, which means that Nuendo and Cubase finally have a kind of feature parity once again. Nuendo 5 doesn't just incorporate features from Cubase 5, though. This means that on top of the features that are new for Nuendo 5 - the ones that we'll be discussing in this review - Nuendo users also get a host of other features, such as the Batch Export window, Variaudio, and the Reverence convolution reverb plug‑in. And while some elements of Cubase 5, such as the ability to play back (although not edit) VST Expression data, became supported in the minor Nuendo updates, the full functionality of Steinberg's music‑oriented application has not been available in Nuendo and the Nuendo Expansion Kit (see 'Catching Up With Cubase' box) until now. In addition to providing Nuendo updates, Steinberg also introduced a major new version of Cubase at the beginning of 2009. And although three years have passed since the last major release of Nuendo, Steinberg have made available numerous incremental updates in the intervening time that have added both functionality and support for new hardware. After some brief sibling rivalry with Cubase during the troubling twos, where Nuendo struggled to forge its own identity, the application's focus started to become clearer with the release of version 3 in 2005 and, particularly, version 4 in 2007.
With Steinberg continuing to focus on features for audio post‑production, is Nuendo still a relevant option for those working strictly in music?Įver since Nuendo was conceived back in the late '90s, Steinberg's flagship audio application has always aspired to be a tool for post‑production. Note the new real‑time scrolling waveform view in the mixer. Nuendo 5 in all its glory playing the included example Project, 'Changes'.
