What shape is your business in? Has it traced the arc of the wider economy and spiraled down? Or have you taken these unsteady times as an opportunity to develop new relationships with clients who may not have  considered working with you in the past? If you are an audio post pro working out of a project studio, you may feel that you have little in common with major industry players. If so, you might be surprised to find that some of the most well-known mix topic engineers in the industry are taking advantage of relatively inexpensive tools, such as Steinberg Nuendo 4, operating out of their home studios just as you do.  So for smaller shops, this economic downturn might be the perfect time to start thinking bigger.

Nuendo is a fully mature product capable of handling any assignment you’re likely to throw at it. Installation on either Mac or Windows machine is straight-forward, and the authorization process -which, uses a dongle, just like Avid is painless. Nuendo 4 can handle QuickTime movies on both the Mac and PC, and DirectShow and DirectX Video on Windows machines only. A variety of codec’s, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and WMV, are supported. Nuendo 4 shines when it comes to synchronizing external playback devices.

Nuendo 4 handles surround-sound flexibly. Hit the Input tab and you’ll see the options laid out.  Multiples surround formats, with a maximum of 12 loudspeaker outputs, are supported.

In these times you have to be able to work fast if you want to make money. Nuendo 4 is extremely well laid out and its many features are easy to get at. The workflow is very good. “I don’t think that this platform has any real competition, particularly in its price range.”

Democrat Barak Obama is the first African-American president of the United States of America and the 44th commander in chief. On Tuesday November 4th Americans demonstrated that they can change the direction that their country has been taken in the past 8 years.
Barak Obama is the first Democrat since Jimmy Carter to win a majority of the popular vote, a vindication of his “50-state strategy” that even members of his own party once viewed as quixotic. Before the end of Tuesday, America that had been solid red in the recent elections has undergone a dramatic change where all 50 states have become one, where it has become the true United States of America!
Today, there are more democrats registered than Republicans.  Republicans have dropped from 37 percent of the electorate in 2004 to 32 percent today, as the number of Democrats and independent has increased.

“Change has come to America” said Obama in this acceptance speech last night! But he also acknowledged the tough climate of the task he faces. “For even as we celebrate tonight,” Obama utters,  “we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime – two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.”
Obama is a charismatic leader whose appeal transcends partisan politics. Obama has built his support on a “three-legged stool” made up of African-Americans, Hispanics, and young voters of all races.  In North Carolina polls show 73 percent of 18-29 year olds voted for Obama, even though McCain was stronger among every other age group. In Virginia, too, Obama was ahead with every age group except those 65 and older.  There are 1.6 million more Hispanic voters this year, including a half-million newly naturalized citizens and they chose Obama over McCain by a margin of 2 to 1. And so New Mexico, Colorado, and Nevada, Ohio, and Iowa voted for Obama. States like Virginia and Indiana had not voted for a Democratic president since 1964, which means that Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 has become a Moment in History!
In his speech, Obama also reached out to McCain’s supporters: “I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too!”
The Election 2008 embodies the American dream! In his acceptance speech, Obama mentioned 106 year old Ann Nixon Cooper from Atlanta, born a generation past slavery, at a a time when she could not vote because she was black and woman.  Ann Nixon “through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.”
