  • Nuendo First Impressions

    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...

  • I am glad to hear of teh good feelings about Nuendo. I primarily work on Cubase, which has the same sequencing, plugin functions and also find it to be an incredibly elegant interface. The step entry is stunningly simple and accurate as are every feature I've used on the program. One great logic feature is the instrument track. Instead of opening the VST instruments track and assiging a midi track to the new output, but a minor inconvenience compsraed to the elegance of the rest of the program.

    Exporting and bouncing works flawlessly. You will find it easy and accurate. Best of lck,

  • Please keep us (me) posted. I bought Logic for VSL three years ago and it is great but Nuendo seems so much more pro. Any comparisons between the two programs with VSL would be most appreciated.

    Congrats on Nuendo!
