What’s New in Nuendo 5?
Spot and organize:
Nuendo 5 allows the engineer to comprehensively spot and organize
recording takes, such as for multiple roles by using a flexible marker
track system. All marker tracks can be sorted and filtered in the marker
window, which helps the user to keep the overview on the project.
Nuendo 5 also reads CMX 3600 EDL lists provided by the video editor as
well as exported and imported CSV formatted spotting and ADR lists.
New
video engine: The new native video engine of Nuendo 5 is based on
QuickTime. Not only does to provide better performance but also the
ability to play out videos in real-time via FireWire, now also on
Windows.. The new video settings panel complements this top feature.
Clip
Packages: Clip Packages allow the user to organize clusters of audio
clips as one clip package file. After choosing an individual selection
of audio files within the project in any constellation it can be saved
as a handy package for later use. Clip Packages can be inserted to any
other point in the project, archived in the MediaBay and can also be
ported to another workstation, if needed.
New MediaBay: Nuendo’s
powerful file management tool, MediaBay, boasting a graphically reworked
user interface to facilitate usability. The enhanced Previewerlets the
user pre-listen on events and enables the sounddesigner and editor to
select a portion of an event whichcan then simply be dragged into the
project.
Smooth scrub wheel: Sound editors are always looking for
the best possibility to facilitate precise cutting tasks. With the new
Nuendo 5 scrub wheel, precise editing is at the editor’s fingertips and
interference noises belong to the past.
Pro Tools audio file
compatibility: With Nuendo 5 it’s easy to be industry compatible. For
example, dual-mono tracks from Pro Tools can easily be converted to
stereo interleaved files for an effective working in Nuendo 5. Edits and
fades within the audio material will be retained. An option to split
interleaved tracks and files to obtain multi-mono tracks is also
provided.
EuCon integration: Nuendo’s deep and unique integration
with Euphonix consoles is well-known the world over. The fifth version
of Nuendo sees enhancements on the EuCon adapter which allows Euphonix
clients to enjoy access to the new Nuendo 5 functions, directly from the
surface of their consoles.
Nuendo 5 Direct Routing: Nuendo 5
includes unique mixer enhancements, tailored to professionals working
with large film mixing projects. With the new routing capabilities, it
is easy to set up multiple routing destinations for channels at a time.
This also allows the creation of different mix versions of any session
in one go. And, if necessary, up and down mixing is fully automated.
Superior
automation system: Nuendo’s automation system is one of the most
powerful systems in the world. The new automation system works with an
enhanced pass-system which is shown as an undo-tree and enables the user
to recall and compare different passes in order to find the ideal
automation matching to the material.
Plug-in handling for
surround buses: For a surround stem or master, Nuendo’s internal effect
plug-ins can be used for sound optimization. However, a user often
doesn’t want to modify all channels of a mix, but just a selection.
Here, the Nuendo 5 patch editor allows the user to select the channels
in a surround mix that should be included or excluded from the
processing.
Monitoring Matrix enhancement: Using the extended
Monitoring Matrix, the user can listen to individual stems, groups,
input or output buses with a single click on the source button from
within the Monitoring Matrix window.
Automated Batch Export:
Creating continuous audio files in one go has never been easier. Be it
some spotted scenes or even all channels of a project for exchange with
other DAWs, the Automated Batch Export offers a bunch of possibilities
without user interaction needed. For example, several portions of the
material can be exported easily by using cycle markers.
Wave
Meters: The Nuendo 5 mixer includes a new section called Wave Meters so
that the mixer can view the waveforms of the audio events directly
within the mixer window.
VariAudio: Designed for vocal editing,
VariAudio allows the sound designer to manipulate and correct voices and
sounds in real time, from slight timbre corrections to extreme robot
sounds.
Surround Panner V5: Nuendo 5 includes possibly the most
advanced Surround Panner featured in a DAW. The Surround Panner V5
allows for stunning movements within the surround field, such as
rotating rooms or atmospheres according to camera pans. Thanks to the
equal power technology a signal can be moved across the speakers with no
volume variations in the sound.
Pitch Driver: With the new Pitch
Driver plug-in it’s easy to create unique sound effects. It can pitch
up to 24 semitones in real time and the intuitive user interface allows
for smooth operation.
PitchCorrect plug-in: Outstanding results
due to intonation control and scale correction of vocal and monophonic
instrument recordings are guaranteed with the PitchCorrect plug-in.
REVerence
convolution reverb: REVerence is the world’s first VST3 convolution
reverb processor, being capable of emulating speakers, analog gear and
any natural room or hall imaginable — in stereo or surround with over 70
responses included. REVerence benefits from every single aspect
Steinberg’s VST 3 standard has to offer.
Surround Matrix Encoder
and Decoder: These elegant and easy-to-use VST3 format plug-ins create
matrix encoded 2-channel versions of surround mixes.
VST3 now:
Proven plug-ins such as Mix 8to2, Mixer Delay, SMPTE Generator and Test
Generator are now available in VST3 format with a new graphical user
interface for better operation.
Track arming: With Nuendo 5 it is
possible to arm and disarm all tracks at once, using a simple key
command. The Lock Record function prevents an accidental disabling of
the record button while recording.
New display: The extra large
Remaining Record Time display tells the user how much recording space is
left on the computer system.
Backup Project function: Nuendo 5
backs up any project, also on a second hard drive, and includes several
parameters to secure the user’s valuable recordings.
Experience
the X64 advantage: Native Nuendo 5 64-bit support under Microsoft
Windows 7 increases the addressable RAM from 2 GB to an astonishing 1
terabyte — placing more tracks, plug-ins and a whole lot of more samples
of the biggest sound libraries right at the sound designer’s
fingertips!
Performance optimization for multi core CPU: Nuendo 5
offers additional power and reliable performance, especially with
computers systems of more than four cores.
Low latency for all:
Nuendo 5 takes full advantage of the latest audio driver technologies in
Microsoft Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard and supports generic and
on-board sound hardware with lower latencies than ever before.
Improved
VST Bridge: Important improvements have been added to the Steinberg VST
Bridge, enabling 32-bit VST effects and instrument plug-ins to be used
in the native 64-bit version.
Enhanced Cross fade Editor: The
Cross fade Editor has also seen some improvements. Asymmetrical fades
can now be separated, a chaining mode has been added, and key commands
for auditions and grouped events can be cross faded together.
I/O
and routing setup improvements: To make the routing setup and
organization less time consuming and more effective, VST Connections has
seen more than ten improvements.
Refined recording: Tailored to
the needs of recording engineers are retrospective record, recording of
VST plug-ins, dissolving MIDI parts to lanes and much more.
