Steinberg has released a new maintenance update for Nuendo 5, the native audio post-production solution. Nuendo 5.1.1 includes improvements for more stable program behavior as well as a faster operation during daily work.

In addition, to a number of improvements in areas such as OMF, AAF, video engine, editing, media management / network collaboration, graphical user interface, VST plug-ins and audio engine, several small yet valuable functional enhancements have been added. For example, Cycle Markers can now be check marked at once in order to accelerate the audio mixdown batch export.
