Case Study: Capcom streamlines game music production with Steinberg Cubase, Nuendo, Dorico and WaveLab

Capcom streamlines 400-500-track game music production with Steinberg

Capcom, a Japanese game developer known for franchises like Street Fighter and Resident Evil, faced a challenge with its music team using a variety of different DAWs. This lack of standardization made data exchange inefficient and hindered collaboration, knowledge sharing, and internal support. The team sought to unify its workflow on a single platform from a vendor to improve efficiency and consistency across its game music production.

The solution was standardizing on the Steinberg products Cubase and Nuendo as its primary DAWs. This provided seamless project data exchange, improved work efficiency, and facilitated easy troubleshooting and knowledge sharing. The results included a consistent sound across large projects, the ability to efficiently manage complex compositions with hundreds of tracks using features like ASIO Guard, and streamlined processes for creating dynamic game music and preparing scores for orchestral recording using Steinberg's Dorico.
