OK, got it for MAC OSX yesterday, and spent all day, until about midnight, reading the manual, getting everything up and running, and doing some preliminary basic functions.
My impression is one of great regret.....that I have not been using this program all along.
It is slick, it is wonderfully laid out, the manual is a breath of fresh air (almost like a novel you can't put down, it's that friendly!) and everything, pretty much, works as I would hope it would. No bizarre Logic type surprises.
So far this program is most impressive. As I work with it this week I'll be more VSL specific, though I did load some instruments and they worked fine. I haven't bounced any yet, but the FREEZE feature in Nuendo is so cool that it even gives you an option to unload the instrument after freezing to recapture memory. All sorts of nice extras like that.
The only VSL oddity I've seen so far is that with things like assigning a controller, or hitting your midi keyboard to tell VI what the keyswitch should be, does not show up on the VI until I click another Nuendo window, then click back on the VI interface. So something is not updating graphically properly yet.
The first time it opened the VI scanned licenses and I did have a long wait, but after that it was fine, even after closing the program and reopening it.
This is one heck of a program for anyone thinking of changing platforms, I am rapidly beginning to see what all the positive talk re Nuendo is all about...
