Steinberg Nuendo 11 is now available for USD 999.99 or EUR 999.99. But if you work in audio production for media and film, some of these new features have the potential to make your job a lot easier. The bottom line remains the same: If you just want to compose and produce music, you’ll probably do just fine with Cubase Pro, which is much less expensive. You’ll find the full list on the Steinberg website. There’s a long list of other workflow and performance enhancements, including ARA improvements and GUI optimizations for Windows and macOS.

The same goes for SpectraLayers One, a simplified version of Steinberg’s SpectraLayers spectral editor. The Multiband Imager, Squasher and enhanced Sampler Track with sample slicing are other improvements that first arrived in Cubase and have now been added to Nuendo, as well.

Nuendo has also received the upgraded Frequency 2 EQ with dynamic equalization from Cubase 11. The MultiTap Delay now supports 7.1 surround sound. Steinberg has also upgraded many of the DAW’s sound design tools. It lets you line up up to 20 tasks in a list and then export them all at once. If you often find yourself needing to export audio from multiple jobs with different export requirements, you’re going to love the new Job Queues feature. There’s also an Intelligibility Meter, which tells you how hard it is to understand speech in the mix, based on algorithms developed by Fraunhofer IDMT. Nuendo now features a Netflix Loudness Meter, which is calibrated to the platform’s official Sound Mix Specifications, Steinberg says.

Two other new metering features are geared towards the content production market.
