Celemony has announced that Steinberg’s Cubase and Nuendo have added support for their the Audio Random Access (ARA) interface extension.

ARA is designed to let DAWs and plugins share detailed information about a track. Steinberg Cubase 10.0.30 and Nuendo 10.1 integrate basic support for the ARA2 interface, which makes significantly improved communication with ARA-capable plug-ins possible.

In the case of Melodyne, ARA lets you open the desired audio events directly in Melodyne, as though Melodyne were one of the DAW’s own editors. Melodyne now also follows automatically whenever you move, shorten, lengthen, copy or mute audio events in the DAW, which considerably simplifies the subsequent rearranging of Melodyne-edited content.

ARA offers Steinberg users far faster and simpler access to Melodyne’s powerful audio correction and sound design functions. These include functions for the editing of vocals as well as instruments of all kinds, workflow advantages such as Multitrack Note Editing for the simultaneous editing of notes on multiple tracks, and the possibilities afforded by the Melodyne Sound Editor for tone coloration and filtering.

To use Melodyne with ARA in Cubase or Nuendo, you need Cubase version 10.0.30 (or later) or Nuendo version 10.1 (or later) and Melodyne version 4.2.2 (or later).
