Hi, I’ve recently come across this video showing some cool Reaper scripts for sound design. I can imagine these being useful for my sound design workflow, especailly the nvk_Create and LKC Variator but ideally I would like to stay in Nuendo, my DAW of choice. Hence, was wondering if these are possible in Cubendo?
He should speak a lot faster. 
And find a better Internet connection…
man… it did not understand a thing first time i viewed this video, after 5 or 6 times i got it.
cool ideas, but man, this “modern” fast edit video style for social media…
maybe i am just getting old
no…
(also; yes)
I hate these superspeed videos simply because they make the viewer feel it is the presenter making all this (it’s a language trick!). ‘so cool’
on topic:
The scripts in reaper are very powerful but only if you want to only use Reaper. I can randomise stuff and make ‘blocks’ in Nuendo (grouping anyone?) quite easily. It’s just a matter of making use of the PLE and Macros.
I personally use soundminer (for sfx database management and it’s Radium sampler) and most of the things for these demonstrated variations I do in Radium. I can load files with regions that auto trigger (round robin style) and I can have effects on all layers. I can export to Nuendo in 8 channels (stereo) and have them properly named according to UCS.
Yes I do need to think about some things so it is not as instantaneous, but hell where is the fun in instantaneous (wink wink AI)!
Yes Soundminer is more expensive but also brings a lot more than reaper scripts can summon (at least at the moment).
My position: Steinberg can build this and maybe should but I’m not waiting for it. And I’m definitely not crossing the border into Reaper land. Tried it a couple times but no.
Thank you so much for your reply! I found it really helpful, will definitely have to look more into PLE and soundminer capabilities. I love Nuendo but I’ve been seeing a lot of people singing praises about Reaper and I think I kind of started getting FOMO. As you stated that you’ve tried Reaper a couple of times before, are there any things in particular that Reaper can’t do that Nuendo can? Just curious what are some unique Nuendo features that Reaper can’t do, especially becuase I see a lot of people market Reaper as a “everything is possible” DAW
Specifically for sound design or in general?
Both really 
Pulling from memory; no AAF support, no ADR, no re-conform. I’m sure there are more things (and maybe some of those have been added since I last checked).
And if for mixing, No Atmost mixing capabilites and control room feature. I don’t think MIDI capabilities are that great. But some of these scripts like auto loop is interesting, but I doubt its that great for more complex loops. Sound weaver from Boom I think has a similar randomizer tool that might be interesting to use alongside Nuendo/Cubase - haven’t really tried it yet.
