As in Cubase SX3, Nuendo 3 has two new tabs added to this window: External FX, for incorporating external outboard hardware units as if they were plug-ins into the VST mixer, and Studio, which currently features a single buss known as the Audition buss. As in SX3, the internal audio click in Nuendo is now routed automatically to the Audition buss, so you can choose to what physical output on your audio card the click will be sent. However, in Nuendo 3 there is one additional use for the Audition buss.
There's a button on the Audition channel on the mixer also, usefully, available as a Key Command that, when active, selects AFL, and when not enabled sets PFL so that when Listen is enabled on a channel, that channel's audio is routed to the Audition channel in addition to its standard Output buss either before or after the fader has processed the audio on the given channel.
It's worth pointing out as well that, although the Audition buss is stereo by default, you can right-click it and use the Change Bus command from the context menu to set it to a mono or multi-channel configuration. Here you can see Listen mode enabled on the two audio channels to the left: notice how the first send on the Default Output buss is routed to the Audition buss and how it's automatically disabled when any channels have Listen enabled. Even in Nuendo itself, you can't even access the Listen function on the track in the Project window, as you can with other Mixer functions like Mute, Solo and Read and Write Automation.
The only way to access the Listen function within the Project window is to select a track and open the Channel Section in the Inspector.
Nuendo achieves this by what the manual describes as a 'special relationship' with the Default buss. You can make any Output buss the Default buss by right-clicking it and selecting Default Bus from the context menu. In order to for all channels except those with Listen enabled to be heard, Nuendo automatically sets up a 0dB send on the Default Output buss channel on the Mixer to the Audition buss, so the idea is that you always monitor through the Audition buss.
This does, of course, make the Default Output buss somewhat redundant and means you have to have double the number of outputs available for monitoring: four for stereo, 12 for 5. When you enable Listen on a channel, that channel's audio is routed either AFL or PFL to the Audition buss in addition to its Output buss , as we've already discussed; but to cut the rest of the mix, Nuendo disables the send on the Default Output buss channel so only the audio-based channels being routed directly to the Audition buss can be heard.
If Nuendo detects that the Default Output and Audition busses are sent to the same physical outputs, the level on the send from the Default Output buss channel to the Audition buss is set at minus infinity rather than 0dB to avoid double-bussing.
However, if you set this back to 0dB, enable the pre-fader button on that send and set the level fader of the Default Output buss channel to minus infinity, you will now hear only the output of the full mix being routed through the Audition buss. Since the send will still get disabled automatically by Nuendo when you enable Listen mode on a channel, you will now only hear the channels with Listen enabled through the Audition buss until you disable the Listen buttons again.
If you think all of this sounds a little awkward, I'd agree with you. However, part of the problem here isn't actually Nuendo: if you look at the way Pro Tools 6.
The extra hardware that would help this situation is an external monitoring box that could be controlled by Nuendo. Hopefully, products like the MC from Euphonix see box will be able to bring this elegance to Nuendo users as well. One additional issue with the Audition buss brings us back to the beginning of this section where I mentioned that, as in Cubase SX3, Nuendo 3 also sends the click to the Audition buss.
Having a separate click buss in the Studio page of the VST Connections window would be a better solution, and it would be great if Steinberg allowed the click channel to have auxiliary sends so it could be routed to multiple headphone mixes for those who use Nuendo for tracking in a recording studio context rather than for post-production.
The workaround that solves both of these potential problems right now is to use a VST Instrument like LM7 for your metronome click instead. The fact the Default Output can use an auxiliary send to route audio to the Audition buss illustrates another important feature in Nuendo 3 — the ability for Output busses to route audio to other Output busses to the right of them via sends.
So if you have four Output busses labelled one to four, left to right, output one can send to outputs two, three and four, while output three can only send to output four.
Despite the limitation, being able to route outputs still has many uses, and could be especially useful for creating headphone mixes within Nuendo or sending mixes to multiple speaker configurations.
Overall, though, Nuendo 's Mixer is still slightly less flexible than mixers found in competing digital audio workstations. For example, one feature I really miss in Nuendo is not being able route the outputs of Group channels as the Inputs of Audio channels, so you could bounce and create more complex mixers entirely in Nuendo. While not perfect, Pro Tools ' internal busses which are in many ways the equivalent of Group channels in Nuendo do allow this and it would be great to have this functionality.
Nuendo 3 includes a new plug-in called Mix Convert to make it easy to downmix files, as shown here, to create a stereo mix from a 5. On the subject of output routing, a feature that would be nice to see is support for different layouts of surround output channels.
An extra option to re-patch the surround channel layout when you right-click a buss in the VST Connections window would be welcome. One improvement to the Mixer in Nuendo 3 is the use of the Mix Convert plug-in, which is a newly included plug-in that can convert incoming audio in one speaker format to outgoing audio in a different format: you could use this as an insert on a stereo channel to downmix to mono, for example.
Nuendo automatically uses the Mix Convert plug-in in situations where you have a 5. Mix Convert offers quite a number of controls, such as the ability to adjust the phase of individual speaker channels except the front centre channel, of course! Mix Convert is actually really useful for creating downmixes, especially since this is far more complex in Pro Tools: audio channels can only be routed to outputs with the same speaker layout — you can't route a 5.
Another improvement in Nuendo 3 also implemented in Cubase SX3 is the ability to quickly assign the Input and Output busses to audio channels. Another real time-saver. Nuendo 3 is a significant step forward when compared with Nuendo 2, and without doubt the best overall release of Nuendo in the product's five-year history.
In part, I think this is due to Steinberg finally embracing areas that really needed to be addressed to orientate Nuendo towards the post-production and high-end audio markets. And very publicly placing the company's Project Manager for Post-production, Martin Stahl, in LA with Euphonix to investigate the needs of the LA post-production market has clearly helped to build a better product.
Nuendo isn't perfect, of course — there are still the odd bugs and issues that crop up — but overall, there are many improvements in Nuendo 3 and features that finally make it possible to consider the system more seriously in the context of film, media and high-end audio work. Nuendo 3 is a major update to Steinberg's Media Production System that combines all the functionality of Cubase SX3 with long-awaited new features and improvements specifically for the post-production market.
System 5 MC "Why use an Icon when you can have the real thing? Colour Customisation Since version 2, Steinberg have made it made it possible for users to customise Nuendo quite extensively, and in version 3 the appearance customisation features in particular have been extended to give you more control over the aesthetic of Nuendo.
Minimum Requirements As Nuendo relies completely on your computer's hardware, aside from any additional plug-ins you may have that use DSP accelerator cards, the performance you can expect from the system depends solely on your machine's specification.
Pros Nuendo 3 has many features and improvements targeted at post-production customers, including AAF import and export, pull-up and pull-down support for video playback, and better media management.
Features such as Rename Objects offer time-saving workflow improvements.
