If embraced, this could bring huge efficiency savings to a typical video production workflow. And to top things off, WaveLab can now directly replace the soundtrack in a video file without impacting the video encoding in any way.

Montages now fully utilise multi-core CPUs, leading to a very noticeable performance boost, particularly when moving between clips that have plugins applied to them. All of that said, we like that clip parameter automation is now possible, and look forward to it being improved in future updates. A bezier curve system, as found in Cubase and Nuendo, would be far easier to work with. As a result you need to add many awkward-to-edit intermediary nodes to guide the smoothing process.Īlso, the actual values specified by the nodes may never actually be used, because the averaging often pulls the smoothed curve away from those nodes. There is a smoothing option, but this averages-out the entire clip envelope. On the downside, there is no way to directly control the curvature of the lines between envelope nodes. These allow you to create automation curves to control a clip’s volume, pan and plugin parameters, and work in a familiar node-to-node style. Used widely in TV, film and broadcast, there’s little this post-production powerhouse can’t do.Ĭlips have been enhanced too, with a shiny-new Clip Envelopes feature. just Nuendo has the edge I feel.This cross-platform audio editor/multitrack recorder is remarkably good for a free program. Control Room is superb to have at your fingertips. For example, I can toggle any automation mode I want with key commands, along with prevew/suspend/punch etc. VCAs had problems, and there's still one quirk with an easy workaround, but generally much better. I get annoyed with PT because I miss my Nuendo, and vice versa. Feels like a bit more of a headache to deal with.Įditing is really "six of one half-a-dozen the other". It just feels that in a full production environment PT is a bit of a bodge with a bunch of associated third-party soft- and hardware added to make it all work.

Both programs will have bugs, both will have annoying quirks, both are at the mercy of the hardware they're running on, but generally speaking I'd take Nuendo any day. In general I think both programs are great, but I really do think Nuendo has the edge objectively speaking. ADR recording workflow with streamers etc, Spotting for ADR and Foley,Īnd in addition to a lot of that Steinberg also has it's own solution for remote collaboration which allows you to have talent remotely yet sync local video playback, replace transmitted audio with full-res, have swipes.
