As the most advanced audio post-production
solution available, Nuendo is the choice of
film, TV, game audio and immersive sound
industry professionals worldwide. Ever since its
initial release, Nuendo has been a vital tool in
creating the soundtrack to many high-profile
productions, products and installations. Regular
updates with new features, workflow improvements
and additional, user-requested functions mean
that Nuendo constantly exceeds the expectations
of an audio workstation dedicated to audio post,
with high end — often unique — capabilities that
continue an ongoing revolution in audio and
media production software.
The Premium Solution For Audio Post-production
Nuendo is the premium solution for audio
post-production. Whether it is for film, TV, commercials
or corporate movies, the feature set enhances every
aspect of your workflow, allowing you to concentrate on
the important production tasks and leaving the tedious
manual work to be taken care of by Nuendo. From
preparing your project and importing raw data, through
dialog editing, sound design and mixing to delivery –
even if composing music, ADR or reconforming are needed,
– Nuendo includes the best solutions for every
production task right there in-the-box.
The No.1 Choice For Game Audio
Besides all its well-known music production and
post-production features and capabilities, Nuendo
includes a plethora of well-thought-out functionality,
exclusively designed for Game Audio, that we guarantee
will speed up your workflow exponentially. After careful
consideration of the game audio community's needs,
Nuendo is integrating more and more unique features that
help to compose interactive music and create thousands
of sound assets. These can then be imported into a game
engine, ensuring that you will never lose the overview
of all those sounds and will always allow you to go back
to your original projects, just in case you need to make
changes or create new ones.
Audio Authoring For Dolby Atmos
Nuendo is the premier DAW available today that enables
you to mix a movie or television series for Dolby Atmos
completely "in the box". The workflow is the same as any
traditional post-production project, but you now have
the tools to assign beds and objects from tracks in an
existing Nuendo project. You can also create an entirely
new Dolby Atmos project from scratch. With the
integrated Renderer for Dolby Atmos, you can author, mix
and deliver Dolby Atmos-compliant ADM Broadcast Wave
files and, at the same time, the final stems in
different surround configurations.
Creativity Unleashed. Professional Composing For
Picture
A large part of media production is music. Without
music, a film, TV show, commercial or a video game would
be nothing like the full experience. Composing for
picture is a complete workflow on its own, because the
mood of the music has to fit the theme of the visuals
that it accompanies. Being developed with the same code
as Cubase — one of the world's best and most well-known
music production platforms — Nuendo includes every music
production feature, tool and workflow you will need to
score hours of music for film or games, right there in
the box... on your computer and in your studio...
without the need for expensive external equipment or
outboard hardware.
The World's Most Complete DAW For Immersive Sound
Immersive sound is one of the most exciting topics for
future audio applications. Being a central hub for
post-production and game sound creation, Nuendo is also
the world's most complete DAW for Virtual Reality (VR),
Augmented Reality (AR) and immersive sound production.
Nuendo's comprehensive feature set caters for VR
beginners, with easy-to-use onboard tools that allow for
the creation of stunning VR projects without needing
anything extra. Nuendo is also the best choice for VR
professionals to create highly immersive sound fields
for VR/AR experiences in consumer and corporate
applications. The direct integration with DearVR Spatial
Connect turns Nuendo into a powerful in-VR authoring
platform, representing the most efficient immersive
sound workflow available today.
Well Prepared For Your Future In Audio
A growing number of game studios and TV/film
post-production facilities as well as broadcasters rely
on Nuendo in their daily business. Among them are
companies like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Microsoft, RTL,
Europasound, NC Soft and NHK, all of which benefit from
Nuendo's unparalleled feature set and the industry's
most attractive pricing. Nuendo is more than just a
software application — it is the centerpiece of a
complete studio solution that comprises the Yamaha Nuage
DAW controller, interfaces, synchronizers, and other
peripherals.
Steinberg says:
With its new features for dialogue recording and
editing, as well as producing headphone-based binaural
mixes and more, Nuendo 12 is the Home of Dialogue.
Dialogue
Nuendo 12 introduces dedicated tools for dialogue
editing. The AI-powered Dialogue Detection algorithm
detects speech and removes silent parts from the
recording, with the new audition tool enabling users to
listen to the displayed waveform detected as dialogue or
silence, prior to editing. With the enhanced Audio
Alignment capability, multiple reference clips can be
used, and their precise timing applied to the
corresponding set of field recorder files. The Free Warp
tool allows subtle time correction of dialogue clips
from within the Project window. Nuendo 12 now also
integrates seamlessly with Auto-Align Post 2, aligning
time and phase of moving microphones.
ADR Overhaul
Nuendo's ADR system has received an overhaul, with new
and improved functionality, such as allowing users to
create ADR markers automatically by selecting one or
more audio events. The ADR API connects external taker
systems and dialogue script editors with Nuendo's own
marker system. Also now included in version 12 is
Netflix TTAL import and export support, for working on
language dubbing projects for Netflix, as well as EdiCue
v4 support for loading character text from PDF shooting
scripts, with the cue data stored directly in Nuendo's
cycle markers. And with the included marker window
attribute filters, marker attributes displayed directly
on the marker track and new key commands, the ADR system
in Nuendo 12 is now easier to use than ever before.
Immersive Headphone Mixing
Nuendo 12 provides a selection of binaural mixing tools.
The new Headphones Match plug-in compensates and/or
emulates the frequency response curve of 387 different
models of headphones from a wide range of manufacturers.
The Nuendo Renderer for Dolby Atmos now offers a
binaural downmix for immersive sound mixing over
headphones with the required spatial accuracy, while its
new Setup Assistant automatically converts a
channel-based project to a Dolby Atmos mixing project.
The processing algorithm used in VST AmbiDecoder for
converting from Ambisonics to stereo binaural has also
been significantly improved, so that it is now possible
to build a monitoring chain from channel-based immersive
sound to Ambisonics to stereo binaural.
Nuendo 12 also supports Space Controller OSC by Sound
Particles. Space Controller OSC connects a mobile device
to Nuendo and links the physical movements of the device
to the software, enabling full control over its panning
tools.
More Creative Tools
For musicians and sound designers, Nuendo 12 includes
the FX Modulator plug-in with many effects and a
comprehensive envelope editor, the Raiser dynamics
processing tool and the Lin One dithering plug-in by
MAAT, Inc. Users can now create chord progressions from
audio events, while the ability to import tempo and
signature tracks allows for seamless exchange between
different projects. The new MIDI Remote system allows
third-party MIDI controllers to integrate easily into
the Nuendo environment. Also part of this feature set is
Verve, Steinberg's new felt piano recorded at the Yamaha
Studios in Los Angeles.
Nuendo 12 provides many additional workflow and
productivity enhancements, including:
SpectraLayers One improvements.
Logical Editor and Input Transformer improvements.
Seven new SuperVision metering modules.
Sample Editor UI enhancements.
Video engine performance improvements.
Audio engine now supports High Core Count CPU on the
latest AMD Threadripper generation.
Smooth waveform drawing.
MIDI over Bluetooth support in Windows.
Native Apple Silicon support for Mac computers.
Nuendo 12 uses the recently introduced, identity-based
Steinberg Licensing system that offers significant new
flexibility. Customers sign in with their Steinberg ID
to run Nuendo 12 on up to three computers, without the
need for a physical copy-protection device.
