Anyone with Nuendo and/or Samplitude (or the demo) interested in a little
experiment? There has been a hardware test thread on the Nuendo forum that
is claiming RME drivers are way less efficient than Lynx and MOTU - okay,
worth reporting to RME, as long as it's really RME and not Nuendo, but that
part seems to be taboo on the Nuendo forum, so I bailed on posting this
there.
So, for fun, or out of frustration more likely I decided to compare Nuendo
3.2 to Samplitude 8.11 (demo) using my RME Digiface (2.94 drivers, latest
full release). I loaded up a single sine wave, copied it to 96 tracks, just
to load the audio engine (don't care about disc streaming). I loaded 8
Gsuite JCM900s (freeware) on the first few tracks and here's what I found,
and what I would like to confirm with other users:
At 64 sample latency:
DAW # JCM900s
Nuendo 15
Samplitude 38
(X2 4400 dual core; A8V Deluxe; 2G Ram; RME Digiface 2.94; etc)
Holy crap - that's over twice the performance. So, does Sam8 not have PDC
at all? I know Nuendo has a long list of other features, such as audio
warp, scoring, midi and VSTi capabilities beyond Sam's, post features, etc,
etc, but that's over twice the performance. I know Samplitude handles it's
own audio buffering internally, which seems to be completely independent of
ASIO buffers, and to some degree seems to ignore ASIO buffers too. At 128,
Nuendo caught up - 39 JCMs. I have no doubt that there is a "sweet spot"
for DAWs, simply based on how they buffer, process and stream data, in what
sizes, etc, so optimal ASIO or internal buffer settings won't be consistent
on different systems, and certainly not between apps, but this seems to be
an extreme difference (I triple checked the test to be sure I wasn't missing
something basic, but couldn't find anythig. Samplitude's VIP buffer was at
2048).
Now, not being a Samplitude user, here's my lack of knowledge - that's all I
could get out of it at any latency in the RME card. Nuendo kept adding more
- over 64 at 512 samples. Why does Samplitude seem to gain nothing from
higher latency at the audio card? I'm sure I'm probably missing something
in understanding Samplitude's buffer approach (I did tweak the VIP buffers
to 8192 to get 38 plugins at 512 samples on the RME, but it seemed to lose a
little performance at higher RME latency - not what I would expect).
The other side of this is Nuendo has low latency issues. This was run with
"Low Latency" off in expert audio settings. With it on, it wouldn't even
run the 96 instances of a single audio file, no plugins, without breaking up
- given what it is supposedly for, that can be reasoned away, but something
about Nuendo's PDC doesn't seem right to me - "disabling" it didn't add a
single plugin to the test results. Nuendo also needs to be restarted when
lowering latency settings or runs much worse than if restarted, and it is
slow to reset the audio engine.
I'm trying to get to the bottom of some longstanding questions I've had
about Nuendo's performance since 3.0, and also since 3.2. Something isn't
right. Any takers to dive into sorting this out?
The Nuendo forum is too volatile right now. Posting this would just cause a
flame war and I'm in no mood to get burned. I'm not partial to any
manufacturer - just figuring out where the weak spots are.
Thanks!
Dedric

Thanks David! What audio card(s) do you have? What are your system specs?
The test is pretty basic, but will give me an idea of comparative driver
performance - just an sine wave (100Hz will do) stereo audio track; copied
to 96 tracks; loop about 10 seconds or so of it at zero crossings.
Put JMC900 in all 8 inserts of a track and copy that to another 2 tracks,
with all plugins disabled. Run at 64 samples with "Low Latency" off in
expert audio settings and enable plugins until Nuendo starts sputtering or
crackling. Record the count when it can loop over a 10 second or so segment
4-5 times without sputtering. Repeat at 128, 256 and 512 sample latency.
Also try a run at 64 with "Adjust for Record Latency" off, and the Constrain
PDC button on, just for curiosity - probably won't make any difference (the
first setting shouldn't at least).
The ideal scenario is to compare Nuendo to Samplitude on each system, but if
you don't have time to load the Sam8.11 demo, or if you don't have it, no
problem. Different systems will perform differently, so comparing systems
isn't of as much value as comparing an audio driver on a single system
between N3.2 and Samplitude 8 using the same plugins, audio files, and ASIO
driver latency. I'm going to load the Sonar 5 demo tomorrow and give it a
try too.
Thanks!

Hey Dedric,
Well it seems that you've finally came to point where I've been stating for
a while. I'm not as scientific as you are, I'm more of the "i don't why,
but this is the way it it" :)
I'll go further, being an early adopter to the Nuendo platform(version 1.1)I
would say that Nuendo 1.5 (too me) was the sleekest, best sounding version
to come along..
My uneducated guess as to why Neundo 3.x is not as effiecient as Samplitude,
is due to the following:
-Summing mixer Algorithm(32 bit float)-after 40 tracks, with plugins things
starts getting weird soundwise.
-Warp engine..It has always hindered Acid's sound quality, why not Neundo's?
-Vst performance: right now with the way that Pace is integrated in the application,
I must say that running the "crack yields way better results in work flow..

Hey Lamont,
My investigation isn't really about sound quality as much as performance,
but if I can get midi/VSTi and score to picture capabilities in Samplitude
*and* it sounds better, I wouldn't mind switching.
The point really is that Nuendo isn't performing as I would expect, esp. at
low latency. Some Nuendo users think RME drivers are to blame, but my
Samplitude tests tell me otherwise.
As far as the summing engine - both are 32-bit float all the way through,
and that shouldn't have any affect on performance. I'll reserve judgement
on the differences and whether that affects sound until I can test it out.
Believe me, I'm not opposed to getting a better sounding app, but there is a
lot to give up compared to Nuendo for scoring and composing - a lot (tempo
map/warp - Samplitude isn't even in the ballpark here; only one controller
draw tool in Sam - freehand; etc).
My guess is actually that the static engine (i.e. all plugins/dsp active all
the time) has built a basis that in order to implement PDC, Nuendo became
much more resource intensive than it otherwise needed to be. That's a guess
at best, but for sure since 3.0 it has become sluggish in areas I wouldn't
expect, with unpredictable high load behavior (which has actually been in
the audio engine since SX 1.0). Samplitude 8.11 demo has some serious bugs
(crashes if I record enable one midi track before the other has completely
disabled, for one), but is much snappier in response. Some workflow issues
still bother me, but others are nice. Actually I like the midi editor
slightly better than Nuendo's (other than missing a lot of features) - it's
a quick workflow with a few cool tool/modifiers Nuendo doesn't have, or at
least I haven't setup as a key command.
Do you have N3.2 on PC, and would you be interested in giving the test a
quick spin? If this bears out the way I think it might, I'll write a report
to send to Steinberg and RME and let them sort/fight it out, or more likely,
ignore it. ;-)
Regards,
Dedric

I agree with you..it's not RME and it's drivers. I have an Digi 96 PST card
and it's very fast on Samplitude,Gigastudio, and others..
To me and other SX users, things got slow and the sound changed when we update
to 3.x
Let's face it, SX/Nuendo has a lot of over-head in the app..You can almost
feel it. it's avery powerful app. Samplitude on the other hand is a hybrid
vst app. it's always been sleek and fast. When customers demanded vst integration,
vst was an addon, not a total "infusion" that samplitude fully depends on.
Anyway, to my ears Samplitude is thee best sounding DAW/editor on the market.
I master with it exclusivley. That's not saying anything bad about SX/Nuendo..

You might want to compare features in Seqoia with Nuendo. Sam and Seqoia are
the same sort of relationship as Cubase and Nuendo. Seqoia has more post
production features as I understand it. I use Sam.
Sorry I don't have time to try any testing.

Thanks Bill. I was thinking the same as far as features, but no demo for
Sequoia (not surprisingly). I may have another option to evaluate it
anyway.
For audio engine/driver performance though, there shouldn't be any
difference, but I'll have to get Sam7/8 to get on the forum to actually find
out from the developers.
No problem on testing - I know everyone here is busy.
Regards,
Dedric

Hi Dedric,
Sorry, I haven't had time to run these tests... I haven't
forgotten about you! It is a zoo at the office right now...
as soon as time permits, I will do the tests and forward the
results.
Regards,
David.
