That said, Nuendo is subtly different in some areas (selections, copy/past/repeat, Control Room etc), as if it’s Cubase from an alternate reality or something. At worst, Nuendo 11.5/12/whatever might come a few months after the corresponding Cubase release, but I think I can survive that. Nuendo used to lack a bunch of Cubase features, and lag a year or so behind with new additions, which is why I stayed with Cubase Pro - but it seems all caught up now. As of now, the comparison chart states that Nuendo has every single feature of Cubase Pro, except for one thing: VST Transit. Well, Nuendo originally started out as a different kind of application, aimed at a different user base, but the applications have grown increasingly similar to match the increasingly blurred boundaries.

I’ll try using it for a bit, and see if I run into anything…Īny reason to NOT crossgrade to Nuendo at this point, provided one is actually interested in the extra features? On the contrary, there seems to be a few extra features that are handy for “normal” music/audio work as well. But it appears that they’re pretty close now…īeen playing around with it a bit (demo license), and so far, I rather like the subtle UI differences, and haven’t noticed anything that’s missing or “worse” than Cubase Pro from a composer/produces POV. Now, what’s been holding me back is that Nuendo has been a version or so behind Cubase all these years, and the crossgrade invalidates the Cubase license.

Been curious about the Wwise integration in particular - and that is of course even more interesting now that I’m about to start working with Wwise from the “other side”, as an audio programmer. (And I found out by accident - not a single email or anything from Steinberg!)īeen tempted to crossgrade for some time, as I’m interested in game audio, sound design and all that, in addition to “just” music. There is a 40% discount on full version and crossgrades.Nuendo and Cubase Pro are still on the same major version, and seem to have reached feature parity.
