Setting up the US-428 with Steinberg’s Nuendo
The US-428 is fully supported under Nuendo v1.xx for Windows and Mac, including ASIO 16 and
24 bit drivers and control surface mapping. We suggest you make sure you’ve got the most
current update.
Before setting up the US-428 to work with Nuendo, please install the US-428 v3.0 drivers. (Refer
to the document on installing the US-428 drivers with either Win98SE/ME or Win2000.) Begin the
