However, they have created Reaper to be fully compatible with all interfaces and hardware in the market using CoreAudio, ASIO and Wasapi formats, and all MIDI controllers and surfaces. The company Cockos that develops Reaper does not design any proprietary hardware. On the other hand, users looking for a GUI that is optimized for MIDI recording and editing for scoring, Cubase will be the right choice. With Reaper, this program gives its users the ability to change its appearance by changing its colours, icons, toolbars, and layouts.Īlso, Reaper’s windows can be shown, hidden, docked, or displayed on a separate monitor if needed.įor users coming from a Pro Tools and Studio One background, Reaper will look very familiar.

Both come in a standard grey/dark default theme, ideal to work for extended periods of time. These two programs have a very distinct GUI characteristic, and that is the color.

N10 has some tantalising new features for working with film (my main squeeze), then there’s the ADR features etc.ĭo some of these new features for working with film benefit composing to picture that you can’t do in Cubase? Built in Loudness Normalization sounds neat.Reaper is developed by the company Cockos, and it is fully compatible with third-party interfaces and other MIDI devices.Ĭonversely, Cubase is developed by the company Steinberg, also giving its users full compatibility with their interfaces, fader controllers, and added software. That’s rarely found elsewhere: Wavelab has a more extensive version but otherwise this usually requires an overpriced 3rd party plug with annoying licensing reqs. small things is to be able to use the built-in loudness normalisation using -16 LUFS. Otherwise, current version of N always has everything from CP, + all the Post features. See Steinberg Forums (N7 v CP8.5, a close overview). One use I can see being useful is the Game Audio to easily compose music and have it switch to Wwise to test/implement.īeyond that though, does Nuendo have features or in the past had features that are useful for Music Production that doesn’t end up in Cubase? I’m currently a Cubase 10 user and very interested in the Nuendo Crossgrade offer that includes Nuendo 10 when it comes out.
