UAD I use a lot too but not for precise EQ or compression. My main plugs these days are UAD & Slate, and I have to use multiple instances of stereo or mono plugs. Being convolution based it doesn’t matter quite so much with the specialist surround impulses provided but it would be neat to be able to edit the rears independently of the fronts. VirSyn do some surround stuff, but again it is largely multi-mono with a little matrix to boost or cut levels to each channel but global operation again.ĪltiVerb 6 XL is still great, but again it is limited in it’s control. There was a company who made some really interesting synthedit based surround plugs - starplugs - who did some very funky stuff that nobody else was doing, but they sadly went under recently. I did have the Waves bundle, but never upgraded it and when the new machine gets delivered next week, I will lose that as mine is a v7, and I don’t think they are worth the upgrade fee to get the new ones. You get a default stereo implementation loaded, but can swap this in the routing to a 5.1 which gives you several groups of channels you can independently control.
Instead of multi-mono, they work in a very similar manner to the late, lamented (and never replaced despite promises) Steinberg Surround Edition. Voxengo do some very good ones, and more importantly their control is a heck of a lot better than the VST3 efforts we get bundled with Nuendo. I’ve heard good reports on the Flux stuff, but have to admit that when I tried them I did not like the surround handling at all - but I am told it is a lot better now so maybe I need to have another look. Getting back to surround plugins, there are simply not that many good ones out there. So, what do you suggest for better surround plug in handling in Nuendo? Which plug ins do you use?Īs Fredo says, there is no need to dither from 32-floating point to 24-bit fixed. Using Waves surround plug ins for example works quite well with Nuendo. I use mainly the Waves surround bundle as surround plug ins and a bunch of external hardware devices.
When I deliver surround files they’re in 24 bit every time.īut the general way surround plugins are handled in Nuendo in general is pretty poor Anyway, I modified my default surround project now with Waves IDR on the outputs. If this really audible I don’t know but I think it’s good practice to dither anyway in cases of higher bit depth going to lower ones. Therefore I dither down to 24 bit on the outputs. The reason I use surround dither is because I have Nuendo outputs going via MADI to my DM2000 mixer. It could be argued there is no real need for surround dither - most surround deliverables are either 24-bit anyway, or lossy bitstreams all of which work better when fed with a 24-bit source file anyway.
