Is that to be taken with a grain of salt?
Heroes,…maybe, … if you like.
As long as I have to hurt my eyes with this GUI, getting nuts over aiming my cursor onto those tiny clickboxes and being distracted from my creative audio work by trying to remember what hidden function can be called up where …
Calling them Heroes is the utmost you get out of me… No super there …
Superheroes, nothing short of superheroes if you ask me.
I spend a lot of my time with this tool and I really and very honestly love what we can do with it. No irony at all!
For me it’s by far the best DAW GUI/workflow I have ever worked on. Of course there is room for improvement, but still it’s the one I like best.
We must not be thinking of the same product called “Nuendo” then. Unless messing up VCAs on release, as well as two subsequent updates “fixing it”, while claiming in release notes it was fixed, while the marketing guy makes bold statements about it in press, is superhero-status-inducing…
And then there’s the fiddly GUI with the hover-buttons that work really well for everyone under the age of 40 and with great vision.
Oh, I got myself some glasses when I turned 40…
The VCA thing needs to be fixed, you are of course right. I don’t need them for my workflow. There are so many opportunities to do what I want to do in Nuendo, so it does not really stop me.
In short: Video engine is prioritized and broken out from update 7.5. Update with video engine will come this year. Update 7.5 with other improvements and features will NOT come this year.
Okay, so the Nuendo development time is spent on a new video engine and then they spend some time for new Cubase features for christmas.
Thanks go out to Apple for raining on our parade!
If we could put our specific area of audio related tasks aside for a moment…
We are all ( at least to some degree) somewhat computer and applications configurations savvy.
We all have been doing paying gigs for a while and have our own established workflows for each specific scenario.
So…why constantly bombarding developers of their product’s ( goes for all DAWs ) shortcomings ?
DAW X does things more fluently than DAW Y. It always will be the case.
Just as my personal example…at the end of last year after 6 full years of abandonment from PT, I have now both Nuendo and PT installed on my PC.
They share all third party plugins and fluently exchange media via AAF.
I am not sure if this solution would work for everyone, but IMHO in this current day and age the logical solution for me.
Yes, takes longer to finish a project…luckily I can bill that extra time. So should you.
Good news at least for people waiting for a VCA fix. Timo just answered a question in another thread, saying that 7.0.40 is on the way to us, scheduled for early May, where “a lot of” VCA problems should be fixed. I’m just curious what “a lot” means
I guess the feature that’s new in Cubase 8.5. Where you have the locators on the timeline that define a range, in 8.5 you can set special punch-in and -out locators independently. Just take a look at the Cubase 8.5 what’s new videos on the product page. This is new in Cubase, so it’ll take a while to show up in Nuendo anyway I guess.
Due to a late fix we had to consider for this maintenance release (related to a buffer size switch), we cannot
keep the current release date of 7.0.40, which I promised for next week. There might be a delay of 7-10 days.
