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.

Nuendo 3.2 – Issues and Solutions 1 of 4 November 2005

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.
