Feature Comparison With Cubase 7?

[johngar]

@suntower

You’ve been very generous. So I’ll bug ya one more time:

If one has Cubase -and- Nuendo, can one reliably open/save the same project with both programs? IOW: if I got Nuendo without NEK (because I’m cheap), could I work in Cubase for scoring and then open the same ‘CPR’ in Nuendo when I wanted to use the ‘advanced routing’? And then goe back to it in Cubase still later?

I would think not, but I figure it was worth asking.

Best,

I found that there is no noticeable difference in performance between the two.
You would need the Nuendo Expansion Kit (NEK) to get all the musical features of Cubase within Nuendo, like the Score and Drum editor. It seems you have to pay extra for something you already have a license to use.

I have often started music projects in Cubase then moved them over to Nuendo for doing the sound design. No problems.
If you set up some complicated routing in Nuendo, then tried to open it in Cubase it would open just fine, just with simplified routing.
I have never had any problems going back and forth between the programs, if there are features in one that are not in the other, it just opens without those features.
