It does carry a notably radio-unfriendly price with US street at $1800 it is also possibly the most expensive software editor on the market today.

But upgrades are reasonable for previous owners, and there is a great deal of value for radio production folks. With this year’s holidays still fresh in our minds, let’s call this review an exercise in window shopping. Nuendo continues to use a USB dongle for copy protection, and that dongle must be connected before the program will start. As has always been the case, Nuendo is compatible with both Mac and PC computers. Mac systems must have Intel Core processors running OS X 10.5.8 or 10.6 with CoreAudio-compatible hardware. PC systems must have at least a 2 GHz processor, along with Windows 7, Vista, or XP SP2 (32-bit, of course). It should be noted that when I attempted to install the demo project from the fancy new Start Center, which presents various links to installation and help facilities, it showed me a dialog that demanded I install SP3 then thoughtfully provided a link to do so. I took a pass and instead installed the demo project manually. PC hardware must be DirectX or ASIO-compatible.
