Steinberg Nuendo 5.1.1

Nuendo 5.1.1 includes improvements for more stable program behavior as well as a faster operation during daily work, Steinberg says.

In addition, to a number of announced 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 functional enhancements have been added.
