Intelligibility Meter
For many people, understanding the dialog of a film or a TV series can be difficult and tiring. To prevent this, Nuendo 11 includes a new meter for the objective measurement of speech intelligibility in real time. Using artificial intelligence-powered algorithms developed by the Oldenburg branch of the Fraunhofer IDMT in Germany, the audio signals are analyzed through a speech intelligibility model based on automatic speech recognition technologies. It calculates the perceived effort of the listener needed to understand the spoken word in a mix. (Only available in English and German.)
Netflix® Loudness Meter
Streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ are incredibly popular, with massive amounts of streamed content created by professional and project studios alike. TV sound is always different to what you hear at the movies so, to maintain consistency, this meter is calibrated to Netflix’s official Sound Mix Specifications and Best Practices, measuring the overall “dialog-gated” loudness at a standard reference of -27.0 LUFS.

Nuendo 11 includes a superb new collection of carefully selected sound effects content from leading SFX provider SoundBits. It features over 750 premium sound effects for games — including Foley, ambiences, impacts, vehicles and weapons — while more than 200 plug-in and track presets help you to quickly create a wide range of real and sci-fi environments, along with the sounds of everyday devices like telephones, radio, television, Skype voices and more.
Job Queues
A long-requested feature, you can now queue up to 20 different jobs — comprising stems (e.g. dialog, Foley, atmospheres and music) and everything that can be configured in the Export Audio Mixdown dialog (including different time selections, formats, name and export path) — in a single list, exporting them separately but all in one operation. It’s a feature that will save a huge amount of time in the post-production process, letting engineers spend more time on the creative process.
SpectraLayers One
SpectraLayers One — a simplified version of Steinberg’s acclaimed SpectraLayers 7 — brings a new world of ultra-precision audio editing to Nuendo 11. Thanks to its advanced ARA 2 technology, SpectraLayers One provides a spectrogram view of audio tracks with the ideal balance of selection, editing and display tools for surgical editing tasks like improving dialog and location sounds straight from a field recorder, with no need for any third-party application.
New and Improved Sound Design Tools
Work seamlessly with Soundly
You can now send files from Soundly — the complete sound effects platform — into Nuendo 11 with just one click. Find your perfect sound in the massive Soundly cloud library, use its powerful search engine on your local files, then drag and drop or spot sounds directly into the Nuendo timeline. With its intuitive interface, fast operation and professional sound library, Soundly is the perfect companion app for sound designers using Nuendo.
MultiTap Delay Surround Support
Now supporting up to 7.1 surround sound, Nuendo’s new MultiTap Delay has all the creative options you need to enhance otherworldly and spatial atmospheres. You can quickly and easily create up to eight taps per delay loop, harness the sound of digital delays or vintage echo units and add effects to the complete output, only the delay loops or even each individual tap.
ARA improvements
Audio events can be committed to the ARA extension without bouncing. You can also create new audio tracks from different SpectraLayers 7 Layers with drag-n-drop.
Pin Process for Direct Offline processes
is a special mode which keeps a loaded process pending until the mode is disabled, making for an improved workflow.
Extended EUCON integration

A redesigned interface, HiDPI support and a scalable window now make VST Connect much more user-friendly.
New Track pictures
for post-production projects, which will help you visually identify different track types in large sessions.
Variable DPI on Windows 10
Different scaling settings are now supported in Windows 10. Even plug-ins that do not support HiDPI can be scaled, based on the Windows scaling factor.
Optimized GUI on macOS
Nuendo is now optimized for the Metal framework, achieving maximum performance by communicating directly with the GPU of your Mac.
Optimized performance
Performance was optimized for large, multi-track recording projects needing intensive, real-time processing and for systems with more than eight cores.
