What makes Nuendo stand out

The Platform

Nuendo 10 is another leap forward for a post-production audio platform which has been at the leading edge of the industry for nearly 20 years. From the beginning, Nuendo was designed to deliver a truly ‘in the box’ solution with a state-of-the-art audio engine, innovative tools, the best integral plug-ins and support for the very latest technologies and formats. Driven by users and those at the forefront of this fast-changing industry, over the years regular updates and improvements have ensured that Nuendo continues to lead the market, adding new features, workflow-enhancing tools and ensuring to always deliver exceptional audio quality. Nuendo 10 ensures that it remains a premium platform for professionals who need to deliver the very best audio content – fast.

The Team

Nuendo is developed by a dedicated, close-knit team of audio professionals whose combined skills and experience ensure that users have the very best and efficient tools at their fingertips. Product and feature planners are seasoned veterans, with very close ties to the professional post-production industry, constantly looking for what will be the next trend or ‘must have’ in the business. They work closely with the software developers; young, enthusiastic and talented programmers who turn the ideas and desires into reality. The planners and software developers also work with Nuendo end users, asking them to try new features and provide input, ensuring that every new feature is implemented in the way that our customers want.

The Community

Nuendo could not exist without its community of end users, whose comments and feedback ensure that the software is always being developed to meet the needs of those at the ‘sharp end’ of the professional sound industry. Every feature has to be implemented in a way that improves their workflow and the audio that they produce for their customers. This is achieved through direct personal communication with end users and the information and ideas that they exchange between themselves. That many of them know and help each other, that they suggest new ideas, recognize new trends or shifts in the industry and communicate directly with us plays a key role in helping us to improve Nuendo, which assists with them staying at the forefront of this highly competitive market.

The Innovation

Nuendo 10 is a leap forward for our leading post-production audio platform, but it is the latest of many advances for Nuendo… and more will, of course, be in the pipeline. We are always looking to the future to ensure Nuendo constantly improves. Our product planners and developers are always working in the background, seeing how they can come up with more innovative features, functions and improvements, as well as developing new technologies to serve emerging markets, all designed to provide our customers with the tools they need (and some they may not even know they need yet!), to ensure that future updates maintain Nuendo’s place at the forefront of this fast-moving industry.

The Partners

As well as our customers and the dedicated Nuendo planning, development and marketing team, we maintain strong relationships with partners throughout the professional sound industry. Technology partners, content creators, other manufacturers who work with us to deliver seamless workflow connectivity with each other’s products, sales/marketing businesses, dealers and client customers who understand that an audio production created on Nuendo is a mark of excellence are all vital members of the Nuendo ‘family’. Every member of the family helps and reinforces our determination to ensure that Nuendo is always the best, most innovative, forward-looking and user-friendly post-production solution. We are grateful to all of you and look forward to working together on many future leaps forward for Nuendo.

New in Nuendo 10

Highlights

Nuendo 10 is the premium audio production solution for game audio design, TV/film post-production and VR authoring professionals. Its high-end features range from import and matching of field recorder audio files, via an array of exceptional creative tools for sound designers, through to groundbreaking, seamless support for VR mixing environments.

Field Recorder Audio Import

Long requested by Nuendo users in post-production studios, we have listened to your requests and are pleased to include Field Recorder Audio Import in Nuendo 10. This powerful new feature allows you to search for Field Recorder audio files matching selected events in the project by choosing a set of predefined search criteria - a process which can otherwise take weeks of manual work. A list of files with attributes or metadata similar to the selected project events will be displayed, with options to check the search result and preview the files. After confirmation, the chosen audio files will be inserted into the project and edited to match the originally selected events.

ADM import

With the rapidly increasing number of Dolby Atmos installations, the demand for Dolby Atmos mixes is rising fast. ADM files – such as those exported from the RMU or Dolby Atmos Production Suite Renderer software – can be imported into a new or existing Nuendo project with the object automation intact for further mixing or editing. Bed and object audio channels. pan automation, programs and content structure are all supported, with audio from ADM extracted to split mono files in the Nuendo project. Folder tracks are created to represent the ADM Program/Content structure, while object tracks are assigned to VST MultiPanner with Pan Automation.

Video Cut Detection

Another huge time-saver is the new Video Cut Detection (VCD) that allows you to analyze video files for edits and to insert markers for each one of those cuts. You can analyze complete video events or a selected range of a video event, while adjusting the sensitivity of the cut detection process. Once detected, you can insert markers either on the existing (active) marker track or by creating a new marker track. There are further options for marker settings as well as key commands to open the VCD panel, start the analysis and insert Markers helping to make it a fast and intuitive process.

Video Rendering

Nuendo 10.2 introduces the long-awaited Video Rendering feature, which allows you to export a video file from your project, including audio. Thanks to this new feature you can now share sections of your current project at its latest stage, or even finished videos, with clients or other users for review and/or feedback. The current implementation is limited to MP4 files with H.264 video compression and stereo audio in 48 kHz/16 bit with AAC audio compression (not supported on Windows 7).

dearVR Spatial Connect support

Nuendo 10 now supports dearVR Spatial Connect, an immersive 3D audio production tool developed by Dear Reality. dearVR Spatial Connect allows any sound designer, musician or sound engineer to create and mix immersive 3D audio content directly in VR. Featuring a revolutionary, gesture-controlled workflow, it eliminates the need to switch back and forth between Nuendo and your VR production environment.

Doppler effect plug-in

The Doppler plug-in is a fast, straightforward way to simulate the perception of movement and distance of a sound and the changes in pitch as its source passes you, rising as it approaches and falling as it moves away. The higher the speed of the object, the stronger the Doppler effect.
Best used as a Direct Offline Process, you can set the Start, Listener and End positions and the Doppler plug-in will render the effect to the chosen audio. It can also be used as an insert plug-in.

VoiceDesigner

The VoiceDesigner plug-in is the perfect tool for sound designers to modify voices, with parameters including Detune, Formant, Preserve (allowing pitch shifting with formant preservation), Robot, Morph and FX. Morph is a particularly powerful effect which lets you process the input sound with the characteristics of another signal to create unique, bespoke vocal effects. VoiceDesigner also features a mixer, which allows you to set different levels and frequency ranges when mixing the dry input, side-chain and wet signal.

New Distroyer processor

The asymmetric distortion of Distroyer adds body, character and harmonics to create everything from gentle analog warmth across a whole mix to hot distortion for kick drums.
