Nuendo 15 World Premiere - March 19, 2026 - 6PM CET

I think it’s an exciting update…

I might finally have to crossgrade from Cubase to Nuendo.

The Analyzer Track could be very useful, and it’s great thinking outside the box on Steinbergs part. That alone is worth the crossgrade price.

I just hope it has a Peak-Clip Histogram! I’ve been dreaming of such a thing for 20 years. I’m sure they could add it if it doesn’t

Histogram or just logging peak along a timeline? They’re not really the same thing.

@MattiasNYC

Essentially, any time the main bus clips, a red-line/marker appears at the time it occurred on the time line. And the lines would automatically disappear if playback runs the same spot and doesn’t detect a peak.

Yeah that’s different. Load up the Supervision plugin on your master and open a histogram module in it and take a look. Basically what the histogram shows is the amount of time that is spent at a particular loudness level.

Here’s a short 60s snippet from something I’m working on now:


So it shows you how much time (relatively speaking) was spent at different loudness levels.

I wanted to ask you about what you meant because your feature request is good and I didn’t want it to be mistaken for something else.

Ah I see,

yeah I picturing more of the data analysis type histogram except there would only be 1 Y-axis variable… Clip or No Clip, over x-time.

Also it would be good if this does exist, or if they do add it, if the user can set the clip level if they want to set it at -1 for a clip line to show up, instead of over 0.

Also could have a Clip Line → Marker Track Marker.

- just to keep track of the peak taming work you’ve been doing, and have the marker lines carry through the entire project.

  • Could set it at 0db, generate those clip-lines to markers + colour them red, then set it at -1db and generate those to markers and colour them orange,

Then you can peruse the entire project with these marker lines and figure out who the culprits are.

I wonder if the ability to select several tracks from an external controller will be back from N12 and earlier versions.

Broken in N13, issue known and not corrected by now.

Congrats guys, this is an insanely desirable update.

Folder tracks and automation improvements are a huge step in the right direction.

Thank you everyone for the feedback! This phase is still very intense for us since we’re preparing the launch for next Wednesday.

well, tbh the no1 reason I will immediately install this update is this one here :slight_smile:

“The Horizontal Scrolling Direction has been unified between Windows and macOS, particularly noticeable when using SHIFT + mouse wheel in the various editors. This should be a relief for users working on both platforms, where the previous behavior was inconsistent.” (from Cubase notes)

finally no total brainf*ck anymore when switching between RX and Nuendo timelines (or other apps, NLE’s etc) anymore!

$160, 20% off for 1st 3 days of launch.

Its a good version.

Last Touch Automation, 12 Modulator options & Folder/Group Tracks now bring Cubendo closer to the musical creative workflows in Bitwig and Ableton.

I’m also an Ableton Live user, a few years ago I wanted to break from using it to create music inside, but 3 things had a pull on me.

1. You could Modulate any Parameter within Ableton including VST parameters.
2. Folder/Group Tracks.
3. Groove Pool.

Cubendo now includes 2 of the 3, and IMHO has implemented it better. Hopefully in the Future a Groove pool could get implemented.

I´m not Live user, but what is so special about this groove pool?

Quick google showed it can extract groove and feel from file.

Isn´t Create Groove Quantize Preset the same thing in Cubendo?

So in Cubendo you will drag in a MIDI file of a groove and the quantize can extract it.

In Ableton they have a designated area of already pre-built Grooves, you just choose which one you want and it Temporarily applies the groove to any midi, until you choose to commit to midi.

In Cubendo its something you do by importing your own Groove, it would be better to have an actual designated section where the files exist.

Same result, its just a better implementation within Ableton.

Agreed, Id hoped for more atmos reverbs, etc, Upscaling stereo to atmos plug, and I like protools eq/compressor on every audio clip, I feel like just going to Cubase, because post production fro the most part i have to deliver a protools master. Nuendo is the flagship and this update was meh

Let’s hope so.

I was expecting better Atmos-related improvements. You already have this in WaveLab, along with support for XML project import from DR. I already handle all my dialogue work in DR, so I wasn’t particularly concerned about dialogue-related upgrades. However, setting aside Atmos enhancements from their flagship product to protect a secondary audio mastering tool suggests they may have missed the opportunity.

I am currently editing a short film in Adobe Premiere, and the audio tools, along with the seamless integration with Audition, have been a pleasant surprise. The ability to move between Premiere, Audition, and After Effects and back is surprisingly smooth. The AI-driven audio improvements are phenomenal. You can record audio on a basic mobile phone and transform it into something almost usable, if not comparable to a studio recording with a high-end microphone.
I I don’t know if Nuendo’s team is researching the audio post-production revolution happening elsewhere. I only discovered the Adobe ecosystem when a client insisted I use Premiere. I wouldn’t be surprised if Adobe bought Bitwig.

I suppose maybe the development teams are different as well as the code bases. That could make it take some time to port over if it originated in Wavelab. Unless you’re talking about the channel order in which case, yeah, just weird.

I think I grabbed one feature from there and made it into a request, I believe it was AI driven music editing to match picture edits. Just drag and expand / contract and AI does the edit for you.

At the rate things are progressing it’s starting to make more and more sense to for me to both return to PT and also learn either Adobe’s or Resolve’s DAW portion, probably the latter.

and how is that?

Premiere = Brilliant
After Effects = Brilliant
Audition = ok for basic audio stuff, not designed to compose or be creative musically within.

Adobe tried to buy FIGMA for $20 billion, so there not short on cash, but Adobe only do sub, you will never be able to buy there software.
