Steinberg today announces the Nuendo 12 Mega Sale, the biggest Nuendo rebate in 22 years product history. Due to the difficult economic situation in many countrys and regions of the world, we have decided to lower the price by 50%, from 999 Euro/Dollar to about 499 Euro/Dollar, until November 7, 2022. A good chance to update your Nuendo to version 12 or add another seat to your facility.
We’ve also been asking some of our closest industry partners if they’d onboard this action!
Register Nuendo until November 7, 2022, and receive an exclusive 30%-off discount on the entire product portfolio ofNuGenAudio, Krotos, SoundsInSync, Cargo Cult, Sound Particles and FabFilter. Have a look at your MySteinberg account>Vouchers section. The vouchers can be redeemed at the partner’s online shop until December 31, 2022.
Please note: Cubase crossgrades are not part of this Sale.
I haven’t looked in to all the vendors but something to note about FabFilter is those guys almost always only do a 25% sale, so 30% off is actually better than you get during Black Friday from them.
For some companies (coughWavescough) their stuff is often or always on “sale” more than 30% so it isn’t useful or impressive. For Fabfilter this legit looks like one of the best price reductions you see.
Nuendo is now cheaper than Cubase? I’m really surprised at this move. But hey, if it helps supporting Steinberg and the Nuendo user base, I don’t cry too long regarding the fact that I’ve once spent €1.499,00 for this. Plus inflation and all updates since 2001, this translates into 5000€. Woaw. Good job, good old dongle.
No, it’s generally not. It’s just during these 3 1/2 weeks. And it once was even more expensive than 1499.
So where the updates. 10 years ago updates started at 299 Euro, for Nuendo 12 we offered
the update from 11 for about 160 Euros in the first 4 weeks. No complaints
So I have to wait a few more months to upgrade from Cubase? Why is this split into two phases? Currently I would have to pay 449 euros for the crossgrade, which is only 50 euros less than an additional new Nuendo license.
Thanks & you’re welcome!
To be more precise:
You’re not losing Cubase. You still have your full Cubase license after
crossgrading to Nuendo. This was changed with the launch of
Nuendo 12 and the new licensing system.
ahh - I see Timo has quietly edited his earlier reply (that I quoted) this morning after I pinged him - instead of admitting the mistake or answering the question.
I have edited it with a remark to be more precise, because I accidently mixed up
the license situation. Sorry for that.
The initial question is still answered: you won’t loose the ability
of running Cubase as the upgrade to Nuendo won’t eat your Cubase
license like in the eLicenser era.
“gain Nuendo = lose Cubase” was the initial remark.
So, that isn’t going to happen anymore. You can use Nuendo and Cubase,
with the respective 2 licenses. That allows for even more flexibility.
I suspect the answer is more nuanced than that - if you upgrade to Nuendo you will still be able to run Cubase 12 but when Cubase 13 comes along (or 12.5) and you upgrade to Nuendo 13 (or 12.5) then you will be stuck with Cubase 12 ? you lose the ability to run the ‘later’ versions.
No. Both applications run independently. You can update Nuendo independently from Cubase and vice versa. There is no connection between the two. The process of deleting the Cubase license when upgrading to Nuendo has been removed, that’s all.
We had a long internal evaluation on the ability of “Nuendo license running Cubase”, but
there’re too many dependencies and potential issues if one license is connected with other
major products and it dozen’s of retail, OEM, education, update, crossgrade and upgrade paths. As of now, too much room for license issues. Keeping it separate is way easier to handle from a technical point of
view, especially since we’ve just introduced the new licensing system.
