As before, the main project window is uncluttered, and maximises the main timeline-and-tracks workspace while keeping the essential control panels within easy reach.Īs well as sharing a common look and feel with Cubase, Nuendo 10 also now includes all of Cubase’s music-creation functionality – MIDI editors, sample tracks, scoring and such – and this side of things has received all the updates seen in the recent Cubase 10 release. Nuendo 10 has had a visual overhaul since its previous version, with higher-resolution graphics to support larger displays, redesigned icons that are easier to read and identify, improved contrast and definition on text and other interface elements and visual improvements to the Channel Strip effects and some bundled plug-ins. Development of the two product lines has tended to go hand-in-hand ever since. As well as becoming the first version of Nuendo, this new codebase was also the basis for that much-needed Cubase overhaul, which hit the shelves as Cubase SX.

So Steinberg developed an entirely new product, with a high-precision audio engine and an interface that drew on all of the company’s accumulated DAW-design wisdom.

At the time, Steinberg’s flagship product, Cubase, had become somewhat bloated and cumbersome as a result of all the extra features that had been added to it in response to the rapid advances in computer-based recording technology: it needed a major overhaul.
