Registered customers can download the update free of charge from the Steinberg website. Since Nuendo 5.5 and NEK 5.5 are built on a refined code base, both updates are available as full download versions. The optional 5.5 update for the Nuendo Expansion Kit (NEK) features the groundbreaking VST Expression 2 technology and the HALion Sonic SE workstation alongside superior groove production tools such as LoopMash 2 and Groove Agent ONE 1.2. Plus, the 5.5 version also adds new creative tools and functions such as the VST Amp Rack plug-in and extended Quick Control functionality. The new élastique Pro time-stretching and pitch-shifting algorithm, improved automation data editing, enhanced offline processing and extended compatibility with Pro Tools audio files further enhance Nuendo’s excellent performance. Highlights include a time-saving take comping system and phase-stable audio quantization across multiple tracks. Steinberg Nuendo 5.5 introduces a variety of advanced multitrack editing features that will make audio editing even more efficient. “And I’m also happy to announce that Nuendo 5.5 is free of charge for registered Nuendo 5 customers,” Wildenhain continues. “Nuendo 5.5 is a must-have for audio editing and mixing professionals,” comments Timo Wildenhain, Steinberg’s product marketing manager for Nuendo.
