Dear Nuendo friends,

It’s finally here - Nuendo 12, with more than 50 new features the biggest release in product history, is released today. After 15 months of development, I’m more than happy to share this news with you. Nuendo 12 comes with a variety of new features, ranging from dialogue editing and ADR to immersive sound, sound design, music and the support of great 3rd party tools. It contains bug fixes and improved functionality.

We’ve had numerous conversations with Nuendo users and those who changed from other platforms and I’d like to say THANK YOU! for your trust, commitment and for your time discussing new features and issues that should be fixed. It makes Nuendo a better software and is very much appreciated by the whole Steinberg ProAudio team.

Here’s an overview on the new features in Nuendo 12.0:

Congrats to the Steinberg team – looks like a great improvement in dozens of useful areas, definitely worth the upgrade price! Just missing, er-hem, [broken record alert] comprehensive native ripple editing mode [/broken record alert], but otherwise it is a no-brainer upgrade. Hopefully Steinberg will devote some serious time in the next update to the aforementioned missing feature, and I can finally say goodbye to some other DAWs some of us also use.

Again, congrats to Steinberg, and thank you also for the intro special offer upgrade discount. :smiley:

Congrats! I would assume that the pandemic has been challenging for the team, but you made it!! Still, I miss a more consistent DOP feature. It is hopeless working with dialogue editing when the volume does not correlate with the sequencer volume. I really hope that you will fix this in a future update.

Many thanks for the new features. In Cubase 12 you could already preview some of what we will now get in Nuendo 12. The license upgrade from eLicencer to the new method worked perfectly.
Best regards from Hannover,
Peter

I agree with Ambolt, we HAVE to have the DOP fix (yes, fix, not feature request). Post clip-gain DOP auditioning and some of the other issuses outlined in this post. It is absolutely essential for dialogue editing, and sound design as well.

Please please please look into this for a Nuendo 12 maintenance update

Upgrade is a no-brainer again. Would have been nice for my wallet if it wasn’t…

So far, so good!

It should be definitely in Nuendo as well.

Thank you very much. Ripple Editing…I know, I know. We need to look at that. Seriously.

System requirements page lists Mojave as supported, but the page does not list any particular Nuendo version @TimoWildenhain Can you confirm this is accurate for N12?

macOS Mojave, macOS Catalina, macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey

Thank you Timo! Appreciate you listening on this long-requested feature from a core group of passionate Ripple Heads. I read your other comments in another thread about the trade-offs for other features vs. the amount of resources Ripple Editing will take, but I think I’m not alone in saying it’s worth the investment. It’s really a key missing puzzle piece for some workflows, and I dare say once other workflows have it, some people will be surprised they lived so long without it.

Anyway, congrats again, this is a great update and kudos to the whole team. I’ll be upgrading right away. Cubase 12 has been good for me (already in production for some projects) so I expect Nuendo 12 will also be pretty stable for us early on. Take care!

Hi! @TimoWildenhain
Unfortunately, I can’t buy an update for Nuendo 12 from Nuendo 11 in Ukraine.
A message appeared in my shopping cart: “The product you selected is not available in your country.” What’s wrong?

but there’s no tick mark in the website …

An absolutely stellar release!
