Can someone provide a link to a post that gives the details regarding a PC system that has the required/desired minimum hardware to support Nuendo? (or list it here?)

I have changed direction from Protools to Nuendo and I need to know the minimum PC requirements that will give good performance.
 
just out of curiosity, what made you make the switch? What pro-tools gear were you using, and what audio interface are you thinking about for nuendo?
 
Vestats,
Thank you. I did see that but I was concerned that others may have advice and experience that may tell me the possible downside to using a system that meet those exact specs. Would/should I do something a little different than those specs list, in other words?

JazzRich9,
I am new to this (home recording) and I do not currently own any recording equipment. I have spoke with others that rave about switching from Protools to Nuendo or Cubebase.

Ardvark Q10 was one interface that wsas recomended. I am open for all the advice and suggestions I can get.

Thanks.
 
Well I run Nuendo using a AKG C2000 mic, Joemeek VC6Q Compressor, and run it into the Tascam 428 and it works flawlessly with Nuendo I think Nuendo is better than Pro Tools in my opinion because in pro tools it makes it a little bit more complicated to view certain windows but I think that you will be satisfied with nuendo
 
Looking at the Nuendo page they have an FAQ section which describes the differences between Nuendo and Cubase. I use Cubase SX 2 and it's a great program. To me it looks like Nuendo takes it further and includes features that you might have to buy Wavelab to accomplish if you were a Cubase user.

That's what it looks like to me anyway...

Sorry I can't help better on the system requirements.
 
ok... well, as for system spec, we're using a p4 2.4, asus motherboard, 512 ram, a mout 2408, through the dm24, sata hard-drives and can run 24 tracks of nuendo with about 2-3 effects on each channel without much trouble. it tracks 24 sumultaneously too (16 tdif, 8 analogue IO on the motu) note, we haven't upgraded to nuendo 2 yet, but there's an upcoming point release for it that looks just about irresitable (the hold off has been the generic remote support in 2, and it looks like they've taken care of it)

In hindsight, I probably wouldn't recommend the audio end of this setup, but we do a lot of location work, so it travels really easily, and with all the io on the dm-24 makes remote tracking a breeze.

Anyhow, I've been using nuendo for a long time, if you decide to buy it, give me a holler with any troubles.

As for the cubase v. nuendo... they are now the same exact vst engine, the differences are the increased robustness of nuendo for film post work, and additional surround formats (as near as I can estimate, cubase only does 5.1?)

Wavlab is an entirely different beast, and depending on your method of working is a somewhat decent wav editor, but steiny is making it look more and more like their other programs... (check out the upcoming wavlab 5)

Anyhow, I hope some of this helps.

Regards,

Rich
