Nuendo 3.2
This document describes issues you may encounter using Nuendo 3.2 as well as possible workarounds.
Issue ID Issue Solution
1406 [Mac only] Project files saved with Nuendo 3.0
show file info "Nuendo 2.xx document". But
they are actually not compatible with Nuendo
2.x.
340 [Mac only] Using Magneto with an Audio Buffer
Size of 2048 samples will result in a
unexpected quit of the application.
742 [Mac only] This only concerns proj ects which
have been saved with Nuendo 3.0.2 and
previous. Attempting to open projects have
been saved with the OctoMAXX 2.0 plug
loaded in the Master section may crash.
7 [Mac only] Program can crash when a project
is closed that uses the plugin "VST Dynamics"
1297 [Mac only] While plug-ins Double delay or Mod
Delay are in front, Nuendo may crash if the
arrow keys are used.
140 [Mac only] Performance / Playback problem
due to sample rate mismatch between Nuendo
and the audio card.
29 [Mac only] Tempo Browser: copy/paste
function doesn’t work for multiple Time
Signature Events.
1408 Loading times of a project will increase with
the amount of connected MIDI interfaces.
1405 Some VSTi automation adjustments won't
work in "touch fader" mode.
1404 System Link - Synchronization is being
affected by "Lower Latency" ON or OFF status
when using the Steinberg VSL 2020 cards.
1399 Automation with the UAD Fairchild plugIn can
lead into crash sometimes.
1396 Inserting Wavelab Leveler plugin may cause
crash.
1363 Extreme settings with realtime processes (time
stretch, transpose) can cause very high CPU
loads.
1362 Assigning and recording of several audio tracks
to one input-bus doesn't work. Only one track
will be recorded.
1155 Rewire Slave may switch sample rate on
launching Rewire Slave.
1056 The Matrix Decoder PlugIn may crash Nuendo
when it gets inserted in a 5.1 audio channel
Insert.
400 In some cases the Tempo Definition Tool may
show up a wrong number of bars when
opening the Sample Editor.
This can occur if a previous Nuendo version is
installed on the computer.
If you use Magneto choose an Audio Buffer Size
between 64 and 1024 samples in the Multitrack
device setup.
Save these projects in Nuendo 3.0.2 without
OctoMAXX 2.0.
Use "Dynamics" plugin instead.
Close these plug-ins or switch to project window
before using the arrow keys.
If your audio interface is clocked externally (e.g.
via Word Clock), Nuendo might not take notice of
sample rate changes (e.g. from 48 KHz to 44.1
KHz), which will disturb the audio playback. Make
sure the sample rate is properly set in the Pr oject
Setup.
Time Signature Events have to be copied
individually.
Try to minimize the number of MIDI-interfaces if
possible.
Some plugins provide feedback when the mouse
is released, others do not. In the latter case, the
automation mode "touch fader" behaves like
'autolatch'.
Run VSL 2020 using "Lower Latency" OFF if you
have synchronicity problems using System Link.
Install an update of UAD Fairchild plugIn once
available.
Do not use it in Nuendo.
Avoid extreme settings with realtime processes or
freeze the realtime processes.
Assign to each Input-bus another track.
Assure that Nuendo and Rewire slave have the
same sample rate settings.
Make sure that in the PlugIn Information Device
the Matrix Decoder is set to "Old Host Behavior".
Adjust the bar number manually at bars/beats in
toolbar.

Issue ID Issue Solution
237 Pre Record: High pre record values (seconds)
could lead to memory collapse and application
freeze if physical RAM is exhausted.
84 Video: Thumbnail refreshing needs much
performance and audio dropouts may occur
while scrolling.
1080 Matrix Decoder does not distribute the LCRS
Surround channel to both discrete 5.1
Surround channels If a matrix-encoded ("ProLogic") stereo mix is being converted to a 5.1
mix using the Matrix Encoder plugin in a 5.1
Bus, only one of the surround channels will be
fed.
668 Wavelab 5 can not import AES31 files from
Nuendo which are longer than around six and
a half hours in duration.
578 Dual-screens: if the right-hand monitor is set
to be 'primary', then the mouse-wheel does
not work on the left screen at all.
575 Broadcast wave files, which have been
changed at the beginning with the function
Minimize File, will loose their origin timestamp.
The origin timestamp has been adapted to the
"new" beginning of the minimized audio file.
553 Automation problems on plugins in Output Bus
Channels. Plugin automation is not read in
realtime correctly.
530 List editor Acoustic feedback does not work if
you change data (e.g. velocity) in the info line.
529 Invert selection does not work when grouped
events exist.
483 Nuendo won't launch if the selected ASIO
driver device is not present.
474 WMA Pro Audio Mixdown may sound distorted
if audio card is clocked externally (e.g. by
Wordclock) to a different sample rate than the
exported WMA file.
471 Cross fading events on lower lanes in the
audio part editor does not work correctly.
Happens when only one of two events to be
cross faded is selected.
470 Freeze: Frozen tracks follow tempo changes.
This is not correct. If the tempo changes, the
event display changes, although the frozen
information does not change.
469 Export Audio: VSTi responds to incoming MIDI
during export.
468 VST System Link synchronization: The slaved
system doesn't follow "Preroll" of the master
correctly.
467 Importing a video again having extract audio
enabled will only place the video in the project
because the audio is already in the pool.
466 Time Stretch Tool does not work on very short
clips.
446 Event lock attribute "other" allows to change
MIDI data with global MIDI functions (e.g.
transpose).
443 Grouping of Events does not work. Mixer window must not be set to "Always on Top".
Avoid to excess physical RAM limit if you want to
increase pre record values.
Use video thumbnail cache.
You should route the matrix-encoded ("ProLogic") stereo mix to a LCRS group channel first.
Route the LCRS group channel to the 5.1 Bus.
The LCRS -> 5.1 conversion will be done
automatically by the MixConverter plugin.
Divide long projects (longer than six hours) if you
want to use Nuendo AES31 exports in Wavelab 5.
Set left monitor to be 'primary'.
Do not cut the beginning of an audio event and
use Minimize File, if the corresponding right
timestamp is needed later.
Make sure that the parent Output Bus Channel is
set to WRITE mode before the plugin itself.
Use key editor in this case.
Select grouped events manually.
Connect the ASIO device before you start
Nuendo.
Set audio card to Sync = "Master" before you
perform the export.
Make sure both events that shall be cross faded
are selected.
Don't change tempo, if your project contains
frozen tracks.
Do not play MIDI to VSTi while exporting audio.
Disable "Preroll" if VST System Link
synchronization is required.
Delete the already existing media files in the pool
before you import a video file again.
Bounce longer clips before time stretching.
Unselect locked (with attribute 'other') MIDI
events if MIDI processing functions are used.

363 Frozen tracks and Play Order: Changing Play
Order Tracks will not automatically update
frozen tracks.
278 Possible VST System Link synchronization
problem when the same port is used for both
audio and VST System Link.
277 Adding a MIDI Track can disturb the audio
engine: ASIO Sample rate can be changed or
lost. If a Direct Music MIDI port (example:
MIDEX 8) is opened for the first time (e.g. by
adding a MIDI track), it may happen that
Windows Direct Music causes a short system
halt, which can disturb the Nuendo audio
engine.
27 Audio output problems (sound gets distorted)
after program has been running for several
hours.
1365 Track Sheet: On large projects a series of
dialog boxes is popping up during Track Sheet
creation.
1258 Very small audio fades (only a few samples
long) may cause clicks.
1204 Newly created presets do not appear in the
preset list if special characters like "/" is used.
1134 If a project is loaded with missing video, and
"snap thumbnails" is ON, the cursor moves
extremely jerky through the project.
1114 Extract Audio from Video doesn't work with
QuickTime 7 (PC). The imported audio is
distorted.
473 If multiple MIDI parts are opened together in
the Key Editor using CTRL-A, tracks that are in
In-Place-Editor mode will not be included.
266 VST System Link cannot be deactivated in
Transport with Sync button.
199 Generating Video Cache file doesn't work if the
Video Player method was changed during a
project.
96 Jog / Shuttle via System Link does not work. Make sure to have equal project start time
94 System Link: VST System Link Slave device
plays MIDI to external devices incorrectly.
93 Timing problems if multiple computers are
synchronized via a System Link chain (open
loop). Also happening when using the
TimeBase Synchronizer as System Link Master.
The computers ""later"" in the chain may play
MIDI inaccurately and Cycle does not work.
25 Events can get slightly dislocated (few
samples) after Pitch Shift with MPEX algorithm.
234 MIDI panning in the inspector doesn't work
with A1 VSTi. Regardless of panning
movements to left, right etc. the sound from
A1 comes from the center all the time.
233 If audio offline process is opened by a
command from a remote, Preview doesn't
work.
232 Loading two Nuendo projects and editing them
in the score editor at the same time (switching
between the projects) creates various
problems.
Unfreeze frozen tracks before changing Play
Order.
Run VST System Link through dedicated audio
(separate from audio) port if this occurs.
Go to Device Setup/VST Multitrack and execute
Reset.
Use "Reset" function in Device Setup/VST Audio
Bay.
Once switching to another application during the
creation process stops this. Track Sheet is being
created correctly.
Increase audio fade length.
Avoid special characters in preset names.
Turn "snap thumbnails" OFF.
Use QuickTime 6 instead.
Select all Tracks before opening the Key Editor.
Deactivate the sync under Device Settings / Audio
Bay / System Link.
Delete the Video Cache file manually and try
again.
settings on all involved systems.
Send MIDI to external devices directly from the
VST System Link Master.
Use MTC for synchronizing systems in an open
loop.
Use another algorithm if processed range is
timing-critical.
Use audio output panning instead.
Use a regular key command instead to open
offline process.
Edit only one project in the score editor per time.

231 Adding a very high number of tracks (audio or
MIDI) at once can cause temporary
unresponsiveness of the program.
230 Deactivating a "DirectMusic MIDI In" port
results in complete loss of all "DirectMusic Midi
In" ports.
78 Long recordings with AIFF, WAV, BWAV and
SDII, which exceed the largest possible
recording file supported by these file formats,
will result in damaged recorded files.
34 Time Stretch Tool does not work on very short
clips.
12 Tracks with monitor on (manual) are not
included in export audio mixdown.
7 Possible incompatibility with GRM Tools
dongle, might cause Blue Screen when plugins
are initialized.
1 Adjustments made on a remote controller
affect real-time audio mixdown.
Add less tracks at once, e.g. groups of 20 tracks
each.
Activating any "Direct Music In" cures the
situation.
If you consider making recordings with a duration
longer than 4 hours in mono or longer than 1
hour in 5.1, select the WAV64 file format for
recording in the project settings.
Bounce longer clips before time stretching.
Turn input monitoring OFF before exporting.
Get GRM Tools dongle driver update.
Don’t make adjustments on the remote controller
during real-time audio mixdown.
