I ve been using Nuendo since about six months before it was available for sale as I was on the original beta tester team. I still really like the program (although I ve been enjoying Cubase 4 recently as it has some convenient new features and sounds excellent. There s no arguing that it s still mostly a Pro Tools world for DAW users. I d been lurking for a while in the Pro Tools listings on eBay. I quit lurking and made a purchase today. I m easing in, not ready to commit to a monster HD system, too expensive. I won an auction for a 002 rack unit with the Factory software bundle. It looks about new, and should interface nicely into my studio (www.SweetbriarRecording.com) where I can use my excellent RME converters to allow 16 channels in and out plus two SPDIF. The 002 looks like a nifty package with plenty of flexibility. With my dual core computer holding 3 UAD-1 cards an a TC Powercore II both can be utilized with RTAS wrappers leaving plenty of processing power for the native Factory plugs. I figure that with the RME converters - or the 002 converters if preferred - and my fine selection of mics, pres, comps, and of cource the superior sounding rooms - clients can cut excellent tracks in ProTools format if they prefer Pro Tools to Nuendo; then move to other more expensive studios with big deal HD systems for mixing. No surprise that I ll also make the 002 available as a rental. My next stop will be adding it to the recording equipment page www.ThompsonMusicRental.com/recording.
