The new NUENDO 13 - NOW AVAILABLE

Some elements of Cubendo have always looked like a children’s video game. The worst is the big red Fisher Price-style button in the Control room. It’s so ugly that it’s better to laugh at it. I also think the colors are terrible. You have to have a good heart.

But I have to admit that there are some successes in this interface, at least the N12, although I’d prefer N11. It’s not all doom and gloom, far from it. All that’s needed is for an intelligent person to look carefully and systematically at the interface’s serious inconsistencies, after having made a decision (the right one!) on the style that was originally intended and applicable everywhere. I vote for the new MPEG-H renderer style, based on what I’ve seen on video (because I can’t yet make the leap to N13, since I can’t work with sunglasses).

P.S. Even in N12, the neon lights should have been turned down a bit! But SB added more… That said, you should know that SB has announced that there will be touch-ups and adjustments to this bad idea. Let’s hope for a return to 50% gray, with optional attenuation of white, as well as a font for track names similar to that of the track list on the left. We don’t need to see track names as highway lampposts.
