Hi all,

Well I am a long time Cubase, Logic, Nuendo2 user and am starting to consider a sequencer that has very heavy audio editing abilties such as Vegas or maybe even samplitude. I am considering to do all my sequencing of midi parts in Nuendo but do all of my audio work in another host.

I was considering Vegas for the acid loop style editing, this is super fast and easy, and of course they have a pretty intuitive way of doing x fades and such, any thoughts?

I could always just keep working in Nuendo for both my midi/audio needs but thought there might be something to gain working in a host like vegas/samplitude.

Any info or thoughts would be great. Just curious how these apps work with the CW set up since I have no idea of how the routing scheemes with these apps are handled.

Cheers!

i use sam6 for mastering/burning cds and it's great. i think if acid loops were my main focus, i'd use sonar3, but that's me. for everything else, nuendo/cubase sx has everything else beat(with the exception of specialized function like in melodyne or live. hey! how about live?)

no help i know, sorry!

Vegas5 and AcidPro4 here. The new Vegas version is spectacular - I'm even thinking of switching my main audio work into it - I'm just waiting to see how AcidPro5 stacks up against Ableton4 first

So many good apps...

Thanks for the replies!

Well I am not using acid loop CD's but when I refered to acid based looping, I meant the functionality of hopw you can edit, mix, splice, move and shape the loops with accuracy, where as a task of that nature would be rather involved in say Nuendo.

So I was considering to do all of my recording and midi work in nuendo, export all the parts and then build and mix in a tool like Vegas since I have read and seen how the work flow is.

Cheers!

Now that I think about it, the only major negative I can find so far about doing full audio work in Vegas is the lack of VST support, though I imagine a decent wrapper could help aleviate the problem.

I could be wrong

Just wanted to pipe in with an "amen". I use Nuendo and Vegas, and just recently upgraded the latter (3 -> 5). Am very pleased with the ASIO. Am having trouble sync'ing to MIDI (usually it freezes) but then again I haven't yet cracked the manual so...

Vegas is the world's easiest audio and video editor IMHO. Lack of OMF support is, unfortunately, the killer for me. I can't throw away Nuendo just yet.

I worry, too, that there is no mention of Vegas on the Sonic Foundry website...

Cheers,

Johann
