Nuendo 2
Nuendo 2 by Steinberg is a professional software solution for audio processing. This program too is thread-optimized and delivers high performance, whether with P4 processors using Hyperthreading applications, multiprocessor systems or computers with dual-core CPUs.
Software: | Nuendo 2 (Steinberg) |
Version: | 2.00.335.20c (audio driver) |

Installation
After installing Nuendo we recommend that you update directly to version 2.00.33. The files you then use can be copied into any available directory. Bear in mind that to run Nuendo you need a sound card capable of processing 96 KHz audio.
Nuendo 2 requires a dongle, which has to be attached to a USB port.
For Nuendo 2 we use a Terratec Aureon 7.1 Space.
When you run it for the first time Nuendo automatically looks for audio hardware.
