Steinberg has released version 3.2.0.1128 of Nuendo, which now includes a new Control Room bussing and monitoring system.

Version 3.2 offers a complex yet flexible new bus system that allows separate mixes to be created for headphones, control room and up to four studios. The Nuendo 3.2 Control Room features are augmented by a range of other capabilities indispensable in professional studio work. Monitoring setup selection including Foldback, external audio source handling and up to four separate studio mixes with integrated Talkback are among the new features that offer flexibility for engineers and producers working in a software-based production environment.
