  • Steinberg Hub with direct access to user-defined folders and news section for the latest Nuendo product updates
  • THE WORKFLOW EVOLUTION:
  • Indispensable: The new loudness processing feature:
  • Nuendo 6.5 introduces a new automatic loudness processing feature that lets you optimize your audio for loudness quickly and efficiently by exporting audio files at user-defined loudness levels such as the industry-standard EBU values (e.g. -23 LUFS). True peak values for rendered audio are also user-definable. Because all settings have been conveniently integrated into the Export Settings dialog box, they are also available for more complex rendering tasks, such as cycle markers or batch export functions. And, of course, optional peak level limitation is also available.
  • Further enhancements include a new true peak spot indication directly within the Nuendo loudness track as well as an enhanced loudness metering scale ranging down to +18 dBFS.
  • Summary:
  • Exact loudness processing to industry-standard values
  • User-definable values for maximum flexibility
  • Full integration in the Export Settings dialog
  • True peak indicators in Loudness Track
  • Nuendo TrackVersions. Playlists upgraded:
  • Playlists are known as a vital part of the modern studio workflow. Nuendo 6.5 introduces TrackVersions, providing even more workflow efficiency than other standard playlist solutions. Create, rename and manage parallel versions of the same track or tracks and use them to compare takes or create alternative versions of your recordings while keeping all track settings. Interfacing perfectly with existing track handling features, the flexible TrackVersions feature will significantly speed up your workflow when working not only with audio but also MIDI, instrument, chord, tempo & signature tracks.
  • Seamless import of AAF files from Pro Tools and Media Composer:
  • Nuendo 6.5 ensures improved compatibility with latest versions of other program platforms when exchanging AAF files. Building on the extended AAF import functionality included in the Nuendo 6.0.7 update, Nuendo 6.5 completes the new AAF filter functionality by adding features for exporting to applications such as Pro Tools and Media Composer.
  • Better, faster, more convenient: Redesigned Control Room and Metering section:
  • Nuendo 6.5 features a completely redesigned control room and metering section, providing better visibility of more functions simultaneously. Important control room functions, such as level, dim and downmix features can be displayed together with the master meter, allowing for keeping track on the most important parameters in daily production situations. Plus, the new control room hosts up to four talkback microphones and a dedicated output port for metering, enabling the integration of hardware meters.
  • Track visibility management:
  • Nuendo 6.5 speeds up the workflow significantly thanks to the new track visibility management feature. Huge projects containing hundreds of audio tracks can easily be managed by dynamically displaying only the tracks you actually want to see. Using the same approach as the channel visibility management introduced in MixConsole, various View Agents help you by instantly bringing the right tracks into focus; this powerful new feature will help you maintain a full overview of your project at all times — even on the largest, most complex productions.
  • Instant transient navigation:
  • Thanks to the new instant hitpoint navigation function, you can now “tab to transients” on audio events directly within the Nuendo project window. Hitpoints are automatically calculated in the background as soon as audio material is recorded or imported into the arrangement window. Simply use the keyboard shortcuts to tab back and forth to navigate around the audio material.
  • New Re-record mode:
  • Nuendo 6.5 includes the new Re-record mode to repeat a recorded take immediately. Once the Re-record mode is activated, you can simple start a new recording by hitting the record button again. The recording will start from the original position preserving the original pre-count and metronome settings. A handy, time-saving new feature that’s as simple as it is useful.
  • Saving your Track Quick Controls:
  • The Track Quick Controls just got even more powerful! You can now save and load Track Quick Control assignments as presets for immediate access. Simply click on the Quick Control Track Inspector and apply existing Track Quick Control assignments even to other track types. This way, you can turn your Quick Control area into a a powerful command center for heavy used program functions.
  • Steinberg Hub with direct folder access and news section:
  • Nuendo 6.5 introduces the new Steinberg Hub, a multi-functional platform to increase your workflow speed. The integrated news section provides information on Nuendo updates and further Steinberg news, while the direct folder access window enables you to open your favorite Nuendo project folders with a single click. Simply define up to four of your most frequently used folders for direct access or start one of the recent Nuendo projects.
  • Internet recording with VST Connect SE 2:
  • Nuendo 6.5 adds even more capabilities to one of the most exciting features in Nuendo: VST Connect SE 2 now supports MIDI. Version 2 of the next-generation online production tool lets you send MIDI data in real time over the Internet. VST Connect SE 2 has the power to revolutionize your recording process, allowing you to collaborate live over the Internet as though you and your fellow collaborators were in the same room.
  • ADR TAKER 2.0 — INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR VOICE & FOLEY RECORDING:
  • Nuendo’s ADR Taker system — the world’s most powerful integrated system for voice and foley recording — has been extended in Nuendo 6.5 with important enhancements that make vocal and foley recording an incomparably fast and convenient experience.
  • Video overlay and take list improvements:
  • Review and edit speaker texts (video overlay) in stop mode, ideal for working with scripts which need modification during the recording session or even when the speaker’s already preparing for the next scene. Other important additions are the improved re-naming functions in the ADR marker window, making it easy to edit attributes of different markers at the same time (such as character name). It’s also possible to record several takes successively in one batch by freely selecting the appropriate scenes in the marker window, including a constant update of the dialog video overlay.
  • The newly added ADR Status indicator (colored light including red light) easily shows the actor the status of the ADR process inside the video window.
  • Automated naming scheme and recording:
  • Thanks to the new audio file naming scheme functions, the upgraded Nuendo ADR Taker now adds configurable attributes to the file name of each recording, making it even easier to search and find different recordings/roles. ADR Taker 2.0 also enables you to record automatically on user-defined tracks by pre-assigning a track to a specific role. The performance of the speaker is automatically recorded on the assigned track, making it a breeze to manage large ADR sessions with multiple roles on different tracks.
  • Record anywhere in Free mode:
  • The ADR Taker 2.0 introduces Free mode, a new function that allows utmost flexibility for ADR work. The Free mode enables you to start recordings at any point in the timeline, independently from the given marker/take structure of the ADR marker list. This means that you can just start the recording and let the speaker perform multiple scenes in one go, if desired. You can even set the start point of recordings within a longer scene (for example, second half of the scene) without the need to start the scene and wait for the playback to reach the desired position, speeding up the whole ADR process. Additionally, you can switch between rehearse and record process spontaneously, enhancing the entire quality of the ADR process.
  • Professional foley recordings:
  • The ADR Taker 2.0 is the perfect tool to also manage foley recording sessions more easily and flexibly. The powerful ADR take-list can be used to mark foley-relevant scenes and capture the foley artist’s performance accordingly. By using the new Free mode, the foley recording is not even bound to the end point of each single scene, making it easy to record longer foley takes in one go. Thanks to the automated naming scheme, foley files can be retrieved and used in the project on the basis of individual naming attributes such as the character name or foley specific topics like “underground” or “material.” All this plus numerous further functions such as the ADR status indicator (rehearse / record / review) and a function for adding second “swipes” make the Nuendo ADR Taker 2.0 the world’s most powerful integrated system for voice and foley recording.
  • PLUG-INS FOR PROFESSIONAL POST-PRODUCTION:
  • Bass Manager: Perfect bass frequency management:
  • The Bass Management plug-in brings additional tools to Nuendo 6.5 for routing and filtering low-frequency signals. Among the flexible new options are the ability to send a user-definable frequency range from the main mix directly to a subwoofer; this offers a lightning-fast way of separating bass frequencies from a main mix, for example, if the mix has been completed without a dedicated LFE channel.
  • Another new option is the ability to send a portion of the LFE channel to the main center or left/right speakers using the built-in crossover frequency controls. The final stage of dedicated filtering for the frequencies allocated to a subwoofer is the dedicated subwoofer section. Before/after metering offers a convenient visual representation of the levels routed to and from the new plug-in.
  • Smooth mixing with REVelation reverb:
  • Developed in conjunction with seasoned engineers and film mixers, Nuendo 6.5 comes with a super-rich and silky algorithmic reverb which recreates the vibe and character of famous hardware effects. REVelation offers a maximum degree of depth and adds its spatial magic on just about any instrument or sound, from string sections to lead vocals. Included with dozens of useful presets, REVelation will let your mix shine.
  • The return of a legend: Magneto 2:
  • Magneto 2 not only provides a warm, analog sound but also adds exciting new features such as the dual mode to give your tracks more flavor and personality — just like in the old days. And Magneto 2 lets you select the frequency range of the effect to be applied on your track. Magneto 2 offers more analog warmth and character to your digital world.

New in Steinberg Nuendo 6.0.4 (May 31, 2013)

  • Improvements:
  • This version contains all improvements from previous maintenance releases as well as the following improvements and issue resolutions.
  • This maintenance update introduces the following improvements:
  • MixConsole improvements Visibility improvements:
  • Better overall visibility of several icons and buttons as well as improved text readability of several parameters and values. The MixConsole focus indicator (white rectange) has been softened for being easier on the eyes.
  • Exclusive mode for channel strip modules:
  • Individual channel strip modules can now be shown in exclusive mode to improve overview on small monitors. Exclusive Mode is accessed with the menu button beside the Racks button in the MixConosle toolbar then select "Show One Channel Strip Type".
  • New loudness meter options:
  • Loudness meter settings can now be stored/recalled as presets. There are new options to set the true peak value lower than -6 dB and to freely define the reference level (to allow for non-EBU specification).
  • Chord Track improvements:
  • PitchCorrect Chord Track integration:
  • The PitchCorrect plug-in can be now set up to use the Chord and Scale information in realtime from the Chord track in a project. To do so, load PitchCorrect on the desired audio track and set the Scale Source to “Chord Track – Chords”, then create a MIDI track and set its output to PitchCorrect in order to pass on the Chord/Scale events.
  • Improved Make Chords function:
  • The Make Chords function (Project > Make Chords) now offers two new options: If “Detect Arpeggios” is enabled, there is a great improvement in how arpeggiated notes are interpretedas Chords. Additionally, you can enable the “Interpret Sustain Pedal” option which takes care of finding Chords by notes played within an opened Sustain Pedal phase.
  • Text Input for Chords:
  • It is now possible to create chord events by entering text when using the Chord Editor. Using the tab key you can create a row of chords events in quick succession, which is ideal if you input chords from a lead sheet.
  • Chord Track preference "Hide muted Notes in Editors":
  • This new preference controls if events should be hidden from the MIDI Editor displays instead of just showing them as muted notes on MIDI/Instrument tracks that follow the Chord track. In case they can not be properly mapped according to the used "Follow Chord Track" mode. You can find this preference in the section "Editing > Chords".
  • MIDI improvements:
  • New MIDI Reverse function Mirror:
  • This function visually mirrors MIDI events in a Part and can be used as an alternative way of reversing a MIDI phrase in case the Reverse function does not create the desired result.
  • Adding a new MIDI track with increased channel:
  • When adding a new MIDI track via the Add track window, the newly created track will use the MIDI port from a selected MIDI channel and increases the channel number automatically.
  • Import Karaoke Lyrics as Text:
  • This new MIDI File Import preference controls whether karaoke text (lyrics) are imported from a MIDI file as SMF- Karaoke (SMF-Event #5) or converted to "Text"-Events. SMF-Karaoke events can be viewed in the List-, but not in the Score Editor. "Text"-Events can be edited in List- and the Score Editor. "Lyrics" (SMF 5, "Karaoke") will be displayed in italic, while "Text" (SMF 1) will be displayed in bold. "Text", that is imported from a MIDI file and has been SMF-Karaoke before, will be exported as SMF-Karaoke when exporting that project to a MIDI file again.
  • Audio improvements:
  • ASIO Driver Setup wizard:
  • This new dialog provides information to help select the relevant drivers of the audio hardware connected without the need to open the Device Setup window. The dialog pops-up on first program launch or after a new ASIO driver hardware has been installed or connected to the computer.
  • VST Connection Helper:
  • If no input- and output busses as well as "Studio" monitors have been setup in the VST Connections, an orange warning showing "Not Connected" will be displayed in the Status Line of the project window. When clicking at this notification, the VST Connections window opens to define the audio hardware ports for the audio input- and output busses. This helps to avoid the situation "Cubase is playing back, but I can't hear anything".
  • Mute VariAudio segments:
  • In Pitch & Warp mode, each VariAudio segment includes a mute (X) symbol now. With this symbol, you can mute individual note segments. The mute state can also be applied for multiple selected notes via the mute key command [Alt+M].
  • ADR improvements:
  • The Record and ADR modes are now specially protected against unintended interruption such as jog wheel operation and can be be operated without keeping the marker window open.
  • The video overlay for the dialogue marker attribute has been extended to display more characters (text) and the Take number attribute can be used to locate its relevant marker.
  • Other improvements:
  • Return of the colour tool:
  • The Color Tool is now available again in the toolbar!
  • Handling of track pictures:
  • The track pictures browser now opens by double clicking the track pictures field.
  • Paste Relative to Cursor:
  • This new command pastes multiple objects while keeping their relative position to the project cursor. You can find it in the menu ""Edit > Function > ""Paste Relative to Cursor"". The Key-Command is [SHIFT+V] is assigned by default.
  • Improved vertical Zooming:
  • When zooming vertically in the Project window the zoom behaviour now respects your track selection, trying to keep the tracks as stable as possible in the view. If events are selected, vertical zooming will focus around the event selection instead. Vertical zooming in the Key / Drum Editor works in a similar way, either trying to keep all the MIDI events centered in the view or with focus on selected events first.
  • Improved Track/Channel Search:
  • The Track/Channel Search function has been improved for use with folder tracks and is now also available as a key command.
  • Faster Project load times:
  • Projects using a large number of plug-ins are now loaded significantly faster.

  • Integrated toolset for ADR work and new video engine:
  • Nuendo 5 comes with a wealth of features made for film and TV editors, mixers and video game sound designers. An important part of the day-to-day work in audio post-production is the recording of audio content that needs to be synchronized to the picture.
  • 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.
  • Smooth scrubbing:
  • 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.
  • New MediaBay:
  • Nuendo’s powerful file management tool, MediaBay, boasts a graphically reworked user interface to facilitate usability. The enhanced Previewer lets you pre-listen on events and enables the sound designer and editor to select a portion of an event which can then simply be dragged into the project.
  • MediaBay can also be used to index and access tagged sound libraries on external hard drives. A sound editor can capture a catalog database via indexing the library, containing all tags and metadata. The index will reside on the portable hard disk. As soon as the portable hard disk is connected to another Nuendo workstation, the catalog (Volume Database) is instantly accessible. 

  • Enhanced compatibility with Pro Tools audio files:
  • 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 adapter:
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • A new generation of plug-ins:
  • Surround Panner V5
  • Pitch Driver
  • REVerence convolution reverb
  • PitchCorrect
  • Surround Matrix Encoder and Decoder
  • VST3
