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 
setup procedure below with the US-428 plugged in and power on.  If you  have not already done
