Main Features

Nuendo 3 is designed to serve the needs for everyone producing sound for film, television, video or game. The new version of Steinberg's renowned media production system offers more features for post production than ever before and also sets new standards in surround production. An extensive set of new features for "traditional" stereo audio production and an overall enhancement of many existing functions make Nuendo one of the most powerful tools for any kind of media production available anywhere.

Recording

Real-time Audio Warp time-stretching and pitch shifting technology allows instant remolding of audio material to dynamically adapt to your project tempo in realtime, and offers lightning fast, great quality drum timing correction.

The Extended Freeze functionality allows you to free up precious CPU and RAM resources by rendering effect plug-ins and audio channels, including insert effects, with blazing speed. The built-in 10-minute Pre-Record function records any audioouted to the Nuendo 3 software in the background, without having to press record – no more regrets that you should have recorded a rehearsal performance…

Surround/Mixing

Nuendo 3 offers flexible new monitoring options, with both after and pre-fader listen modes available on the new Audition Channel,allowing instant checking of any audio channel while leaving the signal routed to the main output mix bus untouched.

The new MixConvert plug-in included in Nuendo 3 automatically detects the configuration of the channel it’s inserted on, and allows instant checking of a mix in other formats – including quick and easy checking for mono compatibility.

Because panners on mono or stereo effect plug-ins routed to surround busses are now directly controllable from the surround panner for that channel, wet effect signals are seamlessly incorporated into surround mixes.

Post Production

New media management tools allow you to easily manage massive audio file libraries, including the ability to provide batch function naming of files, file categorization, and extended file search functionality.

Nuendo 3 also provides support for Pinnacle's X-Send protocol, integrating seamlessly with Pinnacles's Liquid video editing applications,enabling you to take projects completed in these video editors to be opened directly in Nuendo, ready for audio post production.

The Nuendo 3 “Warp To Picture” function lets you sync your audio material to video by time-stretching the audio in real-time to fit the picture. This amazingly powerful tool gives you a whole new approach to matching audio to picture.

Hardware integration

Nuendo 3 features a new external effects plug-in function that lets you seamlessly integrate your outboard effects equipment, including latency compensation of external effects hardware. Integrating your outboard effects gear into your Nuendo projects has never been easier.

The new Device Panels feature allows you to create graphical interface modules that control any equipment that supports the MIDI standard you have connected to Nuendo 3, complete with background bitmaps and color coding.

Nuendo 3 already incorporates Studio Connections Total Recall technology developed by Steinberg and Yamaha, giving you outstanding integration to Yamaha audio hardware such as the DM2000, DM1000, 02r96 and 01x digital mixers.

Synchroniser with VST System Link Support

Nuendo Time Base is the first synchronizer tosupport Steinberg's VST System Link technology.

A wide range of features for clocking and syncing various external devices makes Nuendo Time Base your perfect solution for sample accurate locking to tape-based audio and interacting with SONY 9-pin compatible devices such as VTRs.

The flexibility of Nuendo Time Base allows it to perform in a multitude of roles, including as a sample-accurate synchronizer, a multiple output word clock generator, a 9-pin controller,a video inserter and much more. All major Nuendo Time Base functions can be controlled and edited from within Nuendo. Any Nuendo System can be used as a 9-Pin slave in conjunction with Time Base – just hit “Start” and your Nuendo system will follow every command thanks to its Virtual Machine emulation mode. You can also use Time Base to synchronize with other computer-based sequencers, DAWs, or multi-track tape decks via MTC or LTC.

Features

• Synchronization of digital audio and video systems (hard disk recorders, mixers, etc.) via House Sync, Blackburst,AES-EBU, Word Clock, LTC, VITC, MTC with Audio and Video Tape Machines, Sequencers etc.

• Separate inputs for video sync and VITC R/W

• Read, generate and regenerate timecode (LTC, VITC, MTC and VST System Link)

• Burn visible timecode readout into video picture (2 different sizes, 4 display styles, freely positionable from within Nuendo software)

• Supports all sample rates from 16 to 192 kHz incl. Pull Up-/-Down for Film/Video

• Provides Digital Varispeed Engine with a range of +/- 12.5% as well as selectable film transfer rates for 23.9/25, 24/25, 25/24, 25/23.9 pictures

• Controls 9-pin/P2 machines such as Sony U-Matic, Betacam or professional tape recorders such as Tascam DA88, - DA98, - MMR8 or even Sony 3348 HR via standard 9-pin interface.

• Extensive library of supported 9-Pin machines included Virtual 9-pin Machine. Emulation of 4 different 9-pin machines (BVW 75, DVW500, 3348, TM), allows use of Nuendo as a slave machine on professional 9 pin editors and (console integrated) controllers.

• MTC mode allowing TimeBase to run with any software providing MTC sync.

* Nuendo is proven to run on less powerful computers with less RAM and slower CPUs. These system requirements are meant to provide system specifications which allow for working in a reasonably professional matter. The actual performance of your system depends on the computer you use. More RAM and faster processors will provide better performance. Nuendo supports multiple processors and multi-core processor technologies resulting in maximum efficiency and performance. In order to achieve viable low latency results for life signals used for example in the studio mixes the computer and audio hardware used must be built according to these needs
