Yamaha y Steinberg They have made a splash at the InterBee fair that is being held these days in Japan by announcing Nuage. This impressive post-production solution brings together Yamaha's powerful controller with Steinberg's new Nuendo 6 software.

Nuage components intercommunicate with each other and with up to three DAWs, through a Dante network. Includes a low-latency PCIe Dante card for Mac and PC, with up to 128 simultaneous and bidirectional channels at 192kHz, or 256 channels at 96kHz.

The hardware is modular, it has these components:

• Nuage Fader control surfaces: align with the LCD displays providing visual continuity with the Nuendo mixing window.
• Nuage Master control unit: includes what you need to edit with Nuendo and manage sessions.
• Nuage Workspace Drives – Can be used to integrate third-party hardware and custom options.
• Three Nuage I/O units: provide analog inputs and outputs, 16 AES/EBU or eight digital and eight analog.
• PCIe Dante Accelerator Card: Provides lower latency to the computer running Nuendo, as well as multi-channel audio transfer capabilities, with redundancy.

Nick Cook, Marketing Director for Europe at Yamaha Commercial Audio Systems, highlighted that "Nuage offers the best combination of advanced DAW technology, with an intuitive interface design, flexibility and reliability. We believe it is a new milestone in post-production technology, throwing down the gauntlet to the industry, and demonstrating that Yamaha and Steinberg are determined to become excellence in audio post-production."

Por su parte, Andreas Stelling, director de Steinberg, ha asegurado que “Nuage es la quintaesencia de la fusión de software y hardware en postproducción, juntos sin problemas en un entorno de estudio completo. La consola Nuage y Nuendo 6 representan la plataforma más sofisticada para la postproducción de audio disponible en la actualidad, estamos encantados de ofrecer a los clientes nuevos y existentes un enfoque único para el logro de mayores niveles de productividad y calidad”.
