I’m just wondering why it is that Nuendo exists? I mean, Hans Zimmer has said he uses Cubase for composing to Film so I’m wondering why he doesn’t use Nuendo.
Is there anyone that reads this Cubase Pro 8 forum, that also uses Nuendo, to compose Music for film with that could explain why they don’t use Cubase instead? What makes Nuendo so expensive and worth the Money?
Obviously if Nuendo is a greater DAW for Film Composing I would jump all over it as I love working in Cubase and they look like very similar.
I’m sure I’m not alone in wondering what the big deal is with Nuendo and thanks for shedding any light!
Nuendo is aimed at post-production, where you need different features. The ADR taker, just by itself, would be worth the price of Nuendo.
Steinberg like to think of Cubase as the flagship music DAW and Nuendo as the flagship post DAW, and both have exclusive features; but you can add Cubase tools to Nuendo using the NEK.
There are features in Nuendo that are as useful to music production as they are to post, such as AAF import/export, the advanced crossfade editor, and (arguably) multiple marker tracks. This makes the notion that Cubase is the flagship music DAW questionable.
Most of the higher end film composer don’t use Cubase. They use Cubase and Pro Tools. For people who don’t want a dual program system, Nuendo can offer a better feature set than Cubase.
Well - I do prefer the audioevents GUI of Nuendo WAY over Cubase…
I am an music-dude and currently I am using C8 for mixing - but I am missing the cycle marker batch export as well as the option to have multiple marker tracks a lot for example… So currently I am using Nuendo for Mastering and sample editing stuff (Cycle Marker export!) and Cubase 8 for Mixing…
