September 26, 1998 -- Steinberg, the market leader of music software companies on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms, announced the development of NUENDO(TM), a new audio tool aimed at music production, audio for film, video and interactive media markets on the Windows/NT platform. Steinberg began NT development of Nuendo based on overwhelming positive feedback on Nuendo for the Silicon Graphics Computer

"During the course of development of Nuendo for the Silicon Graphics computer, we showed the program in development to many post professionals," comments Steinberg President Manfred Ruerup. "Based on much of this feedback, we see the Pentium powered NT as a powerful platform and cost-effective for the Nuendo system."

Steinberg NUENDO combines VST(TM) (Virtual Studio Technology) with its realtime effects, open PlugIn architecture and up to 256 tracks of digital audio plus MIDI recording and editing into an easy to use application.

Unique NUENDO Features Include:

Processing and I/O Scaleability:
NUENDO leverages the superior processor and audio I/O of the Silicon Graphics Computer and NT compatible ASIO supported hardware such as the Lexicon Studio System.

Resolution Audio and Resolution Independence:
Audio can be recorded, processed and played back at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz at 16, 20 or 24 bit.

Multiple Sample Rates:
Nuendo can run multiple sampling rates in the same arrangement. The user can mix 44.1, 88.2 and 96 kHz files without having to sample rate convert the files.

In addition to these very unique features, NUENDO now has full MIDI capabilities and maintains an intuitive user interface that allows for all the common audio post operations. These include recording, editing, looping (for ADR, etc.), fades, buss routing, s/effects, time compression/expansion, automated mixing, synchronization support for all formats of SMPTE timecode and integrated digital video.

The program supports various remote controls for automating the mix using the remote without touching the computer. Motorized faders and assignable knobs as featured in hardware controllers can adjust volume, pan, mute, solo, all EQs and all effect sends.
