![]() ![]() I have to say that I really don’t understand what Steinberg hope to achieve by introducing the NEK. #Steinberg nuendo 3 disc upgrade#However, Steinberg’s rather amusing position (as presented by moderators on Nuendo’s official forum) was that the upgrade price for Nuendo 3 users upgrading to version 4 was £270 $399, but you could opt to pay less if you didn’t need certain features. As many users have pointed out, it seems slightly odd that an upgrade removes features you already paid for unless you pay another £100 $150 to get those features back again. For existing Nuendo users, Steinberg offer two choices of upgrades to Nuendo 4: one with the NEK for £270 $399, and one without for £170 $249. (A side note about the Score editor in Nuendo 4 is that you can now import and export MusicXML files, which is pretty neat, as it provides a way to share data with other score-writing applications, keeping symbols and other articulation markings intact.) After raising the cost of Nuendo to £1450 $1999 with version 3, Steinberg have now lowered that price to £1250 $1799 for version 4, with the NEK costing an additional £200 $299. It’s customary to start a review of a new upgrade by looking at the features that have been added, but in this case we need to take a moment to discuss features that have been removed. For more information about the features that have been inherited from Cubase 4, be sure to read Sam Inglis’s review in last December’s SOS. Nuendo 4 incorporates nearly all of the features from Cubase 4, and perhaps the most significant of these new features for Nuendo users will be the Media Bay, which provides a comprehensive way of databasing and cataloguing audio assets. Nuendo 3.1 added features for audio pull-up and pull-down, and Nuendo 3.2 introduced the Control Room, which provided comprehensive monitoring and talkback facilities without the need for an external mixer. ![]() With Nuendo 3, Steinberg really made an effort to add features to the application that would appeal to the post-production market, such as AAF support for interoperability with other audio workstations, support for playing back video via dedicated hardware, and compatibility with tools such as Gallery’s ADR Studio. ![]()
