OK I've been using Nuendo 3 for a good 3-5 years now i reckon. I'm fed up with it because when ever i import drums that have been recorded in pro tools...i have to bring their volumes down by a good 6/10db as the master is clipping at around 3 to 5 db. In pro tools they'd be at -5db or so.

I just tried out Cubase 4 (cracked & unstable) out of interest. Imported the same drums. BAM master isn't clipping. The headroom or whatever is much better. The default EQs are cleaner....and everything is just popping out a little more without the master clippping...and im mixing in exactly the same way. The toms are THERE now instead of in the background. I dunno if they messed with the summing part of it? Anyway im quite impressed - though i guesss nuendo/cubase 3 is ancient now.

Anyway...i'm 99% sure im gonna order Cubase 4/5 tonight. I do want to go Pro Tools but thats gonna have to wait. Plus i want a Neve summing mixer dam it.

I've heard Cubase 4 is pretty dam buggy...anyone know how cubase 5 compares?

HEADROOM!
