the differences between cubase sx and nuendo

[likefire]

Just curious, from what i have seen, they function quite similarly, what's the difference?

Price. LOL.

.. and Cubase has a better midi editor of sorts.

Here's my opinion based on the fact that i'm a Nuendo guy that deals stricly with analog audio.

Nuendo has the Dolby 5.1 thing going for it.

Steinberg is selling Nuendo as a multi track workstation for movie guys (higher $) and cubase is for the strictly music guy.

I use Nuendo for stricly music. I find the user interface more intuitive and profesional for my taste. Cubase looks too square and primitive (although i only tried the demo.)

I'm sticking with the v1 Nuendo .. the new Nuendo looks too 'pretty'. Cluttered interface.

So there, that's the diff IMHO, not much help am i.

The last open discussion with Steinberg programmers the question of the differences of the two programs was brought up and the basic line was that SX is Nuendo minues the film and certain post production features. If all your into is audio then SX will probably do it and if your a home recorder then SX will definately be more than enough to do what your looking for.
