Steinberg has announced the release of Nuendo 4.3.
"The overall goal for Nuendo 4.3 was to further improve the stability of the program. We've not only concentrated on addressing open issues concerned with File Import, Surround, Solo/Mute and Session handling, but have also enabled Cubase 5 projects to be opened in Nuendo 4.3. Our thanks goes out to our valued customers for their input," comments Timo Wildenhain, marketing manager at Steinberg.
In addition, the new update also provides support for the upcoming Nuendo SyncStation, Steinberg's new synchronizer.
"Our new synchronizer will be a benchmarking machine. The overall functionality and integration with Nuendo is absolutely outstanding," Wildenhain continues. The Nuendo SyncStation is a joint-development of Steinberg and engineering legend Colin Broad.
This new version is free for all registered users.

Univers-Sons/Ultimate Sound Bank introduces Hip Hop Planet.
Hip Hop Planet from the brand new EKOLOOPZ series isn't another Urban sample library... Why ?
• First of all : sound quality
This library was produced the same way the best Hip Hop and R'n B tunes are. From creating and mixing the construction kits - with a unique way to analyse and process the sounds -, to the mastering, done at Sterling Sounds in New York by top mastering engineer Chris Gerhinger. The result is that punchy sound you won't find anywhere else. All recorded at 24-bit 96 kHz resolution.
• Unprecedent flexibility, compatible with MOTU BPM
Even if the library can be used right away with the included UVI Workstation, it also contains datas for the new MOTU BPM format, making the library complet ...
