I want to use SynthV in Nuendo 13, which is an extended version of Cubase, but it only starts in linked mode.
Steinberg claims that Cubase and Nuendo handle ARA in the same way, so it should be compatible. https://forums.steinberg.net/t/australia-support-for-nuendo-ara-synthesizer-v-studio-pro-issue/920344/10
Is there a way to get full ARA working in Nuendo as well?
I hope soon with the next version 2.0 (maybe this month). But it is not guaranteed.
I hope so too, but it seems Dreamtonics doesn’t even know Nuendo exists. It’s not mentioned anywhere in the ARA mode documentation.
See there: Documentation: ARA - unsupported-functions
Full ARA mode is currently only available on certain DAWs; Logic Pro, Nuendo, etc. cannot use full ARA mode
Looks like I’m blind. Thanks for the link.
Then I don’t really understand why they chose not to support Nuendo. All my other ARA plugins work fine in full ARA mode the same they work in Cubase.
I don’t think it’s a choice. Maybe Nuendo does more than Cubase, so they have to handle more stuff. Nuendo seems to be more different than we think (or another reason of internal release process).
given ARA V1 was released in 2011, and “Version 2 of ARA was announced in January 2018” and the API open sourced in 2021, why more DAW and plugin vendors don’t properly implement it? (mostly issues with OS and DAW as proper full implementation in the OS /
DAW allow probably 99% of ARA enabled plugins in to work. Cakewalk was one of the first to implement ARA back in 2014 or so, and ARA for all plugins (that i have using ARA, and it’s more than a few) work seamlessly in CbB and Sonar on Windows. Cakewalk Next does not support it on Apple OS… given the sheer volume of complaints about ARA on the Logic, Cubase, Live, and Studio One (and not to mention ProTools), and most of them on Mac OS - it’s paints a picture of Apple needs to support it natively (or least not block it), and the DAW folks need to get onboard.
as a note, i almost never use the ARA for Synth V, it works perfectly in Sonar, but my composition and “recording” workflow says - record the stuff, then add it to a mix, not try to record and mix at the same time. and composition in a DAW (to me) seems very limiting versus other options to create… IMHO.
I’m sure they had their reasons, but it could also be a misunderstanding.
I don’t work at Steinberg, so I can’t say for sure, but I think Nuendo is an extended version of Cubase the same way, Studio One Pro was an extended version of Studio One Artist. It would be weird to support only Artist and not Pro.
The name is different, because Nuendo started as a separate project and has brand recognition now, but the code was merged and is developed as a single project. It’s refered to internally as “Sequencer” Cubase 14 is out now. When will Nuendo 14 be here? - #22 by TimoWildenhain - Nuendo - Steinberg Forums
I know what a “single project” is, I’ve seen many projects like that in my very long experience… One project but maybe several different source codes. And if Cubase 14 came out and not Nuendo 14… well let’s say that maybe it’s just a proof…
