Yamaha Releases NUAGE V1.8

Yamaha NUAGE is a DAW system that is rapidly gaining favor in commercial production applications ranging from audio post-production to music recording and mixing. NUAGE software version 1.8 provides full support for the VST Multi-Panner 3D surround plug-in included with Steinberg’s Nuendo 7.1 DAW.

The VST Multi-Panner interface is faithfully reproduced on the NUAGE Master touch screen providing an ideal environment for Dolby Atmos surround production and bringing NUAGE up to speed with today’s fastest-growing immersive surround format.

The VST Multi-Panner makes it possible to work on a 9.1 channel bed mix and an object mix with up to 118 audio objects via a single display. As a project progresses, the operator can switch between bed and object modes without having to redo the panning. Top View and Rear View displays make it easy to visualize the positions of audio images within the sound stage in three dimensions. A comprehensive selection of panning trajectory presets is also provided for smooth, efficient sound design.

NUAGE Version 1.8 can be downloaded from the Yamaha Pro Audio website free of charge. A Dolby Rendering and Mastering Unit (RMU) and Nuendo RMU Connector for Dolby Atmos are required for object mixing.
