Issues resolved in 5.5.1

September 2011

This pre-release version offers improvements which we would
like to make available to you as soon as possible. While
preliminary testing carried out for this version indicates that it is
stable and reliable, it has not gone through our full QA testing
cycle. Therefore, please note that this pre-release version is not
officially supported.

Nuendo 5.5.1 contains the following corrections as well as all
improvements of the 5.5.0 update.

The following table lists all issues that have been resolved in this
version.

ID #

When using the “Gridlines in front of parts/events” function, the performance of the User
Interface does not diminish anymore.

When using audio samples as metronome click, toggling the metronome on/off doesn’t lead to
interruption of audio recordings.

When Control Room with more than one Studio bus is active, the metronome click doesn’t
drop out.

Steinberg CI series audio hardware and Yamaha MOX synthesizer specific VST Connection
port naming issues under Mac OS X Lion (10.7) systems is resolved.

Using the Altiverb plug-in or Yamaha MOTIF Editors in a Project together with video material
does not render the application unreliable anymore.

Known issues and solutions

The following table describes known issues you may encounter
using Nuendo 5 as well as possible workarounds.

ID #

[Compatibility] When importing AAF files
referring to MXF audio, no audio clips
appear in the project window.

[Compatibility] Channel Batch export may
start to export data even if there is not
enough disk space available.

[Compatibility] Multichannel interleaved
files are not compatible with certain third­party applications (for example, Dolby
Tools).

[Compatibility] Windows Media Audio
export from 5.1 bus results in
unexpected error.

[Compatibility] TL files from Tascam MX
2424 aren't read correctly when they
contain virtual tracks.

[Compatibility] Incompatibility with
projects created in Cubase SL SX
version 1.x.

Solution

Please create a new project before importing
AAF files and avoid importing them into an
existing project.

Please make sure to export with sufficient disk
space available.

Use the option "Don't use extensible wave
format" in the audio export mixdown window.

The Microsoft codec component doesn't work. A
Windows 7 update should fix this issue.

The application "EDL translate" can be used to
adapt these TL files.

Projects from Cubase SL/SX version 1.x are not
supported anymore. Please re-save using e.g.
Cubase SL/SX version 3.x.

[Compatibility] When multiple MXF
projects are imported consecutively, the
application may become unresponsive.

[Compatibility] When importing OpenTL
files, some audio files cannot be found.

[Editing functions] Toggling Cycle on/off
shortly before reaching the right locator
may produce an audible artifact when
using one of the élastique pro AudioWarp
presets.

[Editing functions] The pitch quantize
slider may be slow in response when a
large amount of note segments are
selected (for example in very long audio
files).

Nuendo 5: Version History - Known issues and

solutions

After importing multiple MXF projects in a row,
please restart the application.

If you want to import OpenTL files, please avoid a
directory path in the media destination field on
export.

There is currently no workaround except using
the standard algorithms for warping.

Try to work in smaller sections by cutting and
bouncing the audio material.

[Editing functions] When bouncing from
range selection, the resulting audio files
may run out of sync when enabling
musical mode. This is caused by a wrong
snap point position.

[Editing functions] Sample Editor
VariAudio sliders are difficult to adjust.

[Editing functions] Copy and paste
between projects doesn't work right with
folder parts. They are positioned at
00:00:00:00 instead of their origin.

[Editing functions] Key commands for
solo [S] and mute [M] do not work for
folder tracks in the project window.

[Editing functions] Cycling playback with
events warped with élastique Pro may run
out of sync after a while (Mac OS X only).

[GUI] Opening Nuendo 4 projects may
display plug-ins beyond the screen view.

Move the snap point of all resulting audio files to
event start, then enable musical mode.

Please set the preference "Editing / Controls /
Slider Mode" to "Jump".

Please unpack audio events from their folders
before copying them to another project.

Please check that no window with the "Always on
top" mode is opened.

Stop then start playback again or consider
bouncing the audio files.

Change the screen resolution in the display
properties of Windows and then revert back to
your original setting.

[GUI] Nuendo MediaBay selection in
previewer is inaccurate.

[Media management] Importing track
archives via network volumes may result
in unresolved media files without notice.

[Media management] Projects
automatically created automatically on
export audio mixdown may open in
undesired frame rate.

[Media management] AIFF recordings
cannot be recovered if the recording was
interrupted, e.g. by power cut.

[Media management] A sound that is
used by HALion cannot be previewed in
the MediaBay.

[Media management] The application may
become unresponsive when loading a
sample from the Magix Sound Pool.

Please make sure that the previewed files match
the project’s sample rate.

After the import, please open the pool and
resolve the media files by invoking "Find missing
files..." from the context menu on the affected
entries.

Please manually create an empty project with the
desired settings. Afterwards, the automatically
created projects will use these settings.

We recommend using WAV files for recording in
critical situations as they can be recovered.

Please unload the programs with the affected
samples in HALion or skip these files in
MediaBay previewer.

Please convert these files to a standard format
first.

[Media management] If "FileVault" is
enabled on Mac OS X user accounts, it is
not possible to save project templates.
This may affect other saved data as well.

Nuendo 5: Version History - Known issues and

solutions

Do not use accounts with "FileVault" enabled.

[Media management] Search for "number
of bars" or "signature" leads to wrong
results.

[Media management] After a folder has
been renamed in the Finder, it appears
empty in the MediaBay (Mac OS X only).

[Musical functions] Depending on the
ASIO buffer size, the MIDI plug-in "Step
Designer" may cause monophonic
instruments to play unintended "Glides".

[Media management] An OS user
account name consisting only of capital
letters may lead to issues such as being
unable to create track presets.

[Media management] MediaBay stops
scanning and may become unresponsive,
if a scanned folder contains corrupted
media files.

[Media management] Overwriting presets
from the MediaBay save dialog, such as
VST presets, track presets and pattern
banks, does not update changes in the
meta data.

Consider to sort the result list by attributes rather
than searching for these particular values.

Rescan the particular folder that has been
renamed.

Put MIDI plug-in "TrackFX" after the Step
Designer and set "length compression" for
example to 20/21.

To avoid potential MediaBay problems, please do
not use OS user account names consisting only
of capital letters.

Please make sure there are no corrupted media
files in the folders that are scanned.

If you want to change meta data, please don't
overwrite the preset, but use "Make unique name"
and remove the old preset afterwards.

[Media management] Volume databases
cannot be mounted on Mac OS X if the
drive is formatted with NTFS, respectively
volume databases cannot be mounted on
PC Windows if the drive is formatted with
HFS+.

[System and connectivity] Special
characters might not work as key
commands (Mac OS X only).

[System and connectivity] Switching
sample rates while the project is playing
back may render the application
unresponsive.

[System and connectivity] Installing on
case-sensitive file systems (like UFS or
HFS+) may lead to stability issues.

[System and connectivity] VST
performance meter peaks on Apple
laptops.

Please make sure to use a file system format
which can be read and written on both platforms
(for example, FAT32, although it has a file size
limitation of 4 GB) or consider installing third­party software supporting the file system format.

Please use no special characters for key
commands.

Please only switch sample rates when not playing
back.

We recommend you not to use case-sensitive file
systems.

Please set "Line in" as input source in Core
Audio device settings.

while powering on the unit and launching the
firmware uploader application again to install a
current firmware.

Please use this plug-in with the 32-bit version of
Nuendo.

Cut the desired portion of the audio file and use
"Bounce Selection". Then, drag the bounced
version into LoopMash.

Avoid using a negative track delay greater than
250 ms when working with VST Expression
events.

Dynamics pop-up menu for existing
events on Articulations/Dynamics lane
cannot be used if MIDI Part is edited in
In-Place-Editor.

[VST, plug-ins & audio engine] Projects
created in Cubase 5.0 / 5.2 64-bit using
"JBridge" for 32-bit plug-ins may not load
properly.

[VST, plug-ins & audio engine] Frozen
files are excluded from sample rate
conversion when changing project
sample rate.

[VST, plug-ins & audio engine] If system
is close to running out of available
memory, the application may behave
erratically. This may happen if memory­intensive plug-ins are loaded (e.g.
sampler VSTi’s) but also when total audio
recording time is extremely long.

Open the MIDI Part with e.g. the Key Editor and
edit the Dynamics events there.

There is currently no workaround available.

Unfreeze before changing the project sample
rate.

Please reduce the memory load by freezing
instruments. You can avoid memory dependent
issues by using 64-bit OS in combination with
the 64-bit version of Nuendo.

[VST, plug-ins & audio engine] FX or
group channels cannot be selected as
input source for newly created audio

resolves this issue. Please make sure you have
the latest plug-in updates from Native
Instruments installed.

Changing the MIDI track order may cause this
issue. Please manually verify and correct the MIDI
routing after you have reloaded the project.

Please wait until the plug-in has completed the
loading process.

[VST, plug-ins & audio engine] On some
PPC plug-ins running on a Mac Intel via
VST Bridge, text entry might not be
