Free Download Steinberg Nuendo 14 v14.0.20 for WiN

Steinberg Nuendo 14 is the latest version of the professional digital audio workstation, released on March 19, 2025. It offers advanced capabilities for working with spatial sound, supporting Dolby Atmos and MPEG-H Audio formats, which allows you to create rich soundscapes for movies, television and games. With a refreshed interface and improved editing tools, such as expanded dialog and text capabilities, Nuendo 14 is a powerful tool for audio production professionals.

Adaptive Background Attenuation (ABA)

The intelligibility of speech in film and television has long been a source of discussion. With Nuendo 14 you can easily automate the balance of your mix to ensure the dialogue is always intelligible. Using the dialogue stem as a reference, ABA will attenuate loud background sounds automatically by a selected dB value, ensuring the foreground sound is always clear. Once the process has been applied, you will still have full control over the overall mix, being able to review the changes and adjust levels as needed.

Dialogue Transcription

Nuendo 14’s new AI-powered speech to text feature enables dialogue tracks to be transcribed into ADR cycle markers. Using a machine learning model for speech recognition and transcription, this will save hours of work by writing the transcription of the original soundtrack into existing markers or to create new markers with the transcribed dialogue inside, for example in a dubbing project.

Game Audio Connect 3

Game sound designers can now preview sound effects directly from Audiokinetic Wwise, without having to export the audio assets out of Nuendo first. Triggering a segment from the game itself will play back the audio from within Nuendo, letting adjustments be made before rendering the assets and transferring them into Wwise. Different sounds can also be tried out while playing the game, simply by changing the event selection in Nuendo.

Modulators

A sound designers dream! The new modulators deliver the creative freedom of parameter-based automated sound variations, but with complete control over the results. With dynamic parameter control, which is based on material within the project, the modulators can create movement, add tension and much more to your sound effects and game sound design.

Event Volume Curves

Gain staging is now easier in Nuendo 14, using fast and flexible Event Volume Curves to adjust levels within audio events, without having to switch tools. Valuable for both dialogue clips and sound effects, this feature offers streamlined options to optimize your editing workflow.

Range Tool Improvements

The Range Selection tool has been improved to speed up the audio editing process, with flexible visualization and specific editing functions to selected regions while it is enabled, either with key commands or by modifier keys.

Audio Segment Automatic Detection

Nuendo can now auto-detect audio segments that are recognized as belonging together, such as a word or a whole phrase in a dialogue track, by pressing a user-assigned modifier key. These segments can then be selected using the Range tool with a single mouse click. Their volume can also be adjusted using the new Event Volume Curves functionality.

ADR Overlay improvements

The video window in Nuendo can now display any attribute available for ADR sessions, for example dialogue scene, number or ID. It also offers the ability to modify how the text is displayed, including font size, font color, alignment, word wrap and more.

Video engine update

Nuendo’s video engine has been revamped to support 4K and 8K video resolutions, as well as scaling even higher resolutions correctly to fit them within the video window. Video playback efficiency is improved and there is no limitation on resolution with a powerful enough processor.

CSV Import without Timecode

CSV files can now be imported into Nuendo without needing timecode information. When a CSV file is imported, Nuendo will automatically assign the markers to the project window, allowing the user to set up how they should be placed in the timeline.

DOP Preview

In the Direct Offline Processing window, the Audition function will now take the volume of the selected event into account. This means the audition volume will be previewed at the right level and not be unexpectedly loud.

MediaBay Preview

Sound effects in the MediaBay can now be previewed at different pitches and time-stretched speeds to match the context of a project. They can then be imported into the project with the chosen pitch and speed information intact.
