I second all of these features!
Love my Nuendo 13! The new flat UI design is great. More comfortable to work with.
Looking forward to see the old plugins to be updated with the new design, if possible?
This would be great! Butā¦ unfortunately no.
It would be cool if the offline rendering could be more efficient for Freezing, Direct off-line Processing, and Exporting a mix ( Bouncing )
Compared to Pro Tools Nuendo 12-13 is noticeably slower when doing these things.
Another thing that would be helpful is some sort of visual indicator of the latency display on channels to show which channel is causing the most amount of latency. Again, something similar to Pro Tools. Pro Tools makes the most latent inducing channel apparent with a color change in the readout of the Delay Compensation for the tracks. This helps hunt down what is causing the latency and to either render the track or freeze it.

Thereās an option in Nuendo to show latency in the mixer.
Steinberg have absolutely RUINED the appearance and usability of Nuendo with the N13 update. I am literally going to avoid for as long as possible.
Those faders are AWFUL! Makes my studio feel like a plastic toy.
And ergonomically ridiculous to create so much visual noise with what? Words? Lettering that SHOUTS SO LOUD I CANNOT THINK!!
Eye ache.
Brain ache.
Wallet ache for nothing.
PLEASE ALTER THIS BACK!
If it wasnāt for the fact that I have a repeating client that needs old projects, I would literally be out of here now.

Some elements of Cubendo have always looked like a childrenās video game. The worst is the big red Fisher Price-style button in the Control room. Itās so ugly that itās 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 Iād prefer N11. Itās not all doom and gloom, far from it. All thatās needed is for an intelligent person to look carefully and systematically at the interfaceās 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 Iāve seen on video (because I canāt yet make the leap to N13, since I canāt work with sunglasses).
P.S. Even in N12, the neon lights should have been turned down a bit! But SB added moreā¦ That said, you should know that SB has announced that there will be touch-ups and adjustments to this bad idea. Letās 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 donāt need to see track names as highway lampposts.
Theyāre obviously not going to do that, so your best approach to this is to be specific and post screenshots of what isnāt working for you so they know what they can reasonably improve upon.

Compared to Nuendo 12, I donāt like the new GUI of Nuendo 13 as much. But that doesnāt stop me from using Nuendo 13 for my work. You might think that Nuendo 13 with the new GUI is practically unusable if you read the posts of the last few days. I think thatās a bit of an exaggeration.
But I would like to reiterate my request to Steinberg to make the GUI more customisable. This would solve many of the current problems and prevent a new shitstorm when Nuendo 14 is released. (Or Nuendo 2024, as it will probably be called. 
)

If you have visual accessibility issues, it pretty much is.

Yeah, thatās very unfortunate. I canāt relate because I donāt suffer from those issues. It seems to be a few people that have that problem and the rest of the concerns with a couple of exceptions seem to be fairly minor and quite personal.
I hope they fix the issues for you though.

I canāt judge that.
Was Nuendo 12 that much better? We have someone in the team who canāt use Nuendo 12 either, because the differences in contrast and recognisability arenāt enough for him.

Thatās why Steinberg should give users customizable options for fonts and font colors. That would solve alot of the accessibility issues, which is my main concern. I can get use to them moving things around but I canāt get use to the font color issues. I canāt use either program long enough to know what I like and dislike about the new versions.

I dunno Mattias. While some of it is quite personal, all of it is influenced by the fact that the new GUI is objectively a very rough job. It looks like a draft of what could be the final GUI. Cubendo used to look very refined (apart from old stuff inconsistence), and now it doesnāt anymore, and the inconsistencies continue. They need to refine it, put some love to it, balance it, make it look good, premium.
Also, there are some principles of design that they are disregarding, that if they didnāt, I bet there wouldnāt be such a fuss.

I feel like a lot of this could be solved by doing public betas like some other software companies do (not sure which other DAWs - but both Premiere and Resolve have public beta programs). Surely this would have been resolved before the actual release if a public beta was offered.

Yeah!
They have to understand that many people have been for years or even decades working in their environment, and keeping up to date costs a lot of money, so these people are invested in Cubendo. When you introduce things that get in the way of work or are not well implemented, for many people that means they may have to exit this environment. That is not a light thing to consider. There will be a lot of complaints, and rightfully so.

Do we still need the dongle for plug insā¦?
