Nuendo was created to perform any task within the media industry. The new Nuendo 2.0 version delivers a complete media production system, designed with the needs of the user in mind and meeting the demands of working professionals in all genres of audio production: composition, film, broadcast, music, post production, surround, game sound and multimedia. Nuendo 2.0 is the culmination of years of expert engineering research and has been developed to take the advantages of flexible, native systems to a new level of versatility. We believe that Nuendo 2.0 is the pinnacle of professional media production, offering you not just outstanding performance but the ergonomics and adaptiveness to channel that performance more effectively and creatively.Versatility is one of the hallmarks of professional audio software. Nuendo doesn't just offer a host of features for audio production, such as radio broadcasting, multimedia, music, surround mixing and post production. It is customizable for any of those purposes, giving you the clearest oversight possible over your project and optimizing your workflow.
How does the latest version of Nuendo implement this philosophy? To start with, Nuendo 2.0 lets you set up a project the way you want it. All program menus are user-configurable, enabling you to hide all features you usually do not use or just currently do not need for a specific kind of production. For example, if you don't need MIDI functions for a 10.2 surround mix, you can hide all MIDI menu entries, disable the corresponding key commands and assign these preferences to a template. Do you really need to have video-related menu entries if you are using Nuendo for music production? Simply hide them and design the interface that you need yourself. All hidden features are still waiting in the background in case you will need them in the future
But Nuendo does not stop here. You can also configure the controls for each track to suit your personal way of working. If, for example, you are engaged in audio recordings, Nuendo can instantly be adapted as a pure audio tracker with only a record and a monitoring button on each track. After finishing your recordings you can "unhide" additional functionality as it is needed or switch to a template which immediately gives you access to all track controls again. Nuendo 2.0 lets you do not just what you want, but also choose how you want to do it.
From input to final mix, Nuendo 2.0 is all about surround, with multichannel architecture through the entire signal path. Every input, audio track, effect, group and output now offers up to 12 discrete channels, ready for full-scale 5.1, 7.1, or even 10.2 productions. To make routing in the project even more transparent, Steinberg has developed a new way of organizing inputs and outputs, allowing the user to customize multichannel input/output configurations and switch between them with a single keystroke. Several input and output busses can also be utilized at the same time, with any type of configuration possible - mono, stereo or any of a wide range of surround formats - and any track can be routed to and from any of these busses. Nuendo 2.0 even allows switching between multiple monitoring configurations (speaker arrangements) and can simulate a wide variety of end user monitoring environments.
Nuendo 2.0 offers the most flexible mixing experience in digital media production. Its 32 Bit floating point mixer has been completely re-engineered and now features multiple multichannel input and output busses. This new architecture allows for recording in either split or interleaved surround audio file formats and makes managing a surround project easier than ever before — Nuendo 2.0 always keeps track of which part of the signal chain is multichannel and which is simply stereo or mono. The new mixer itself is user-configurable, allowing you to choose between a variety of display options. Above the normal mixer with the fader section you can display either insert effects, effect sends, EQs or an additional view with input and output settings including gain change and phase shift per channel. The mixer is also available in a narrow view for simultaneous display of many channels.
Nowhere are the improvements in mixing more apparent than in signal routing for virtual effect processors. The new version of the world-standard
Steinberg VST technology provides complete flexibility in signal routing to and from virtual effects for each and every track. Nuendo 2.0 even adds effect return channels which feature the full parameter set of regular channels and of course the complete mixer has full delay compensation throughout the complete signal path. Unlimited processing of audio files is one the greatest advantages of digital audio environments. To support you in getting the best out of your project, Nuendo offers a huge list of audio processes and supplies you with an impressive collection of virtual effect processors. Nuendo 2.0 includes a huge array of virtual effects, ranging from standard dynamic processing and filtering to creative modulation effects or restoration processors. If your project needs anything exotic or special you can choose from a wide range of VST or DirectX plug-ins available from well-known manufacturers like TC, Native Instruments or Waves. Of course, all these plug-ins can be used both online or offline, and as many instances can be loaded as your computer can handle.
If you are using MIDI, Nuendo also offers the latest Steinberg technology to create sounds hitherto unheard of. Arpeggiators, chord processors and many other plug-ins are included that manipulate the dynamics, pitch and time elements of MIDI events, as well as three unique virtual instruments to create warm analogue layers or play back powerful drum samples. The integration of the VST interface opens Nuendo up for additional software samplers like Steinberg's award-winning HALion Sampler, synthesizers like PLEX and D'cota by Steinberg or other virtual instruments by third party manufacturers.

Nuendo now features extensive MIDI capabilities.
The fully reengineered MIDI device handling makes it even easier to set up and configure MIDI devices for use with Nuendo. The large range of MIDI editors (Drum, Logical, SysEx and List) make editing MIDI information in Nuendo more intuitive than ever before. The raft of new MIDI plug-ins such as Quantizer, MIDI Echo and Compressor ensure more creative possibilities and flexibility when working with MIDI, be they external devices or one of the included virtual instruments. The MIDI plug-ins are all directly reachable from the Project Window, taking MIDI within Nuendo to a new level of accessibility.
The Nuendo automation system also extends to all MIDI parameters, letting you draw MIDI automation data with any of the mathematical shape tools. Multiple controller lanes within the editors give you a clear oversight over your MIDI data, as all data can now be displayed on the same page.
Editing can be considered as the backbone of any digital workstation. That's why Nuendo 2.0 has a powerful editing engine, with unlimited undo/redo as a standard asset. Not only can you undo cuts, fades or other basic edits, but also bouncing, offline processing and removal of complete tracks can be undone. The Edit History window lists all actions made on your project down to every single event, ready to undo or redo by moving a handle to the point where you want to work from. Even track and event commits from other editors over a TCP/IP network are listed here.
Every single audio file listed in the pool or used in the project window has its own offline process history. All processing carried out on a file can be removed, changed or replaced by another audio process or plug-in, no matter how much processing has taken place in the meantime. All later processes will be reprocessed automatically for you.
These lists of offline processes can be stored as a batch enabling you to apply the exact same process batch to any file you need to process later. Of course the batch allows for adjustments of the parameters and easy storing of the altered batch settings. That the usage of VST and DirectX plug-ins can also be included in these processing lists goes without saying.
Nuendo 2.0 also supports various kinds of editing styles, depending on your work style. Traditional cuts, nudging, trims and fades can be made using a variety of tools: object based, range based or using a jog wheel from any of the supported remote controllers. Mouse, keyboard or remote control can be used separately or combined for optimal workflow speed.
Nuendo 2.0 now allows scrubbing of all audio at the same time as well as scrubbing the video track. Various forward and backward scrubbing speeds are supported, and can be executed from a specific wheel on the Nuendo transport bar or by the jog or shuttle wheel of a supported remote controller or mixing desk like the Yamaha DM 2000 or O2R 96K. Fast locating, trimming and scrubbing of video and audio could not be easier.
All editing of your project can not only be performed in the sample accurate project window which features a set of comfortable zooming features. You can also do all editing within the integrated sample editor. This opens an additional range of features guaranteeing an even faster workflow: easy creation of regions, bouncing these into a library, creating processed regions or tuning sync points by scrubbing the audio with them. Nuendo offers all this plus a smart hitpoint detection feature for fast locating of audio peaks, adapting grooves and creating groove templates in the sample editor which, of course, supports full drag and drop to tie up with the Project Window. Everything mentioned so far is just a few of the editing options included with Nuendo 2.0. But there is so much more. You are able to replace the event's content by easy drag and drop, slip the content, adjust fades and events while scrubbing the video, trim event levels of multiple events or bounce sections of a track faster than real-time. Nuendo 2.0 assures that your edits can be done faster and more flexibly than ever before.
