Steinberg introduces Nuendo 4
New Advanced Audio and Post Production System with innovations and
dedicated new features for audio post, studio production and live recording
Hamburg, September 24 2007 – Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH is
proud to announce a new version of its award-winning Nuendo audio
production environment. Offering a range of new features and technologies
dedicated to mixers, engineers and editors in post production, studio
recording and live recording, Nuendo 4 will be available from October 2007**
for €1799.00*. Nuendo 4 is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista
and both Intel and PPC-based Macintosh computers running Mac OS10.4.
“Nuendo 4 empowers audio professionals by elevating both creativity and
productivity to new heights,” comments Steinberg’s General Manager
Andreas Stelling. “The new functionality accelerates and enhances
workflows by increasing efficiency and speed, offering probably the most
valuable commodity in today’s deadline-driven world: more time. And
because Nuendo 4 caters directly to audio post and studio production,
Steinberg is now in the unique position of being able to offer dedicated
products for four different target groups: Nuendo for the post and pro audio
community, Cubase for musicians, composers and producers, WaveLab for
audio editors and mastering engineers, and Sequel for entry-level music
creation enthusiasts.”
Among the new functionality in Nuendo 4 is a state-of-the-art new
automation system on par with the world’s best. Preview mode, Fill
commands, Punch Logs, Virgin Territories and the unique new Touch
Collect Assistant are only some of the new functions which unite the best
functionality found on traditional hardware mixing consoles with the
flexibility inherent in Nuendo 4 as a modern DAW environment.
The new MediaBay file management system for audio, video and other
media files can replace many external FX database solutions. MediaBay
browses, archives, retrieves and searches media files across any
connected drive. Utilizing intelligent database technology, user-definable
tags and other features MediaBay allows instant pulling up and filtering of
search results, smart file management and much more.
Nuendo 4 sees a vastly upgraded set of 38 new first-class surround- and
sidechaining-capable VST3 audio effect plug-ins that cover dynamics,
spatial FX and filtering for almost any situation. Standard on each channel
is a brand new VST3 Channel EQ, with an audio quality that can replace
many expensive additional 3rd party EQ plug-ins. Drag & drop and
copy/paste for plug-ins make using plug-ins in Nuendo 4 even faster and
more efficient.
Nuendo 4 offers a range of features designed specifically to accelerate and
enhance workflows in audio post production. Advanced post pro editing
commands allow even faster editing workflows, including many new options
to move, place and trim audio faster and with outstanding precision to save
valuable time. The highly flexible Post Filter is engineered specifically for
audio post, and features special options to remove unwanted noises form
audio material, for example from location recording.
Flexible new recording and routing options offer creative new ways to route
and manipulate audio, with any track now able to record audio from any
summing object such as groups or FX returns. Common recording
configurations such as stems and print master recording are now extremely
easy to setup, obviating the need to route audio outside the system for
recording on external recorders.
