Nuendo may rarely grace the pages of this magazine, while its DAW stable mate Cubase is a regular, but why? Firstly, it commands the highest license-only price for a DAW, taking it out of the reach of many home studio or even semi-pro budgets. Secondly, it’s tailored for audio-topicture work in TV/fi lm/video game post-production and soundtrack composition, as well as surround sound mixing and sound design.
