Control Room
Embedded in the Nuendo 4 mixer is the next-generation Control Room section, which offers many of the advantages of ahardware mixing console within the Nuendo mixer.
- Control Room and Headphone Bus
Nuendo 4 includes dedicated output busses for control room and headphone monitoring. Control room settings do not influence the main mix output.
- Four Separate Monitor Setups
Directly integrating Nuendo into hardware monitoring environments, the four freely configurable setups let you quickly toggle among different auditioning systems. Options include fold-back as well as useful solo functions such as Solo to Center and Back to Front for Surround environments.
- Inputs for External Sources
You can quickly select up to six playback inputs for external signal sources such as DAT, CD and tape decks, and route them to any desired studio, headphones or control room bus.
- Four Studio Busses
ou are free to create individual sub-mixes for up to four separate studios. Every audio, group or effect channel in the Nuendo Mixer offers new studio sends with dedicated volume and panorama controls as well as a Pre Fader/Post Fader switch.
- Talkback Function
The talkback circuit lets you communicate directly with speakers or artists in each of the connected studios. Automatic dimming prevents feedback. You also have a switch available for manual dimming – simply press it to instantly reduce the control room level.
- Separate Click Bus
A dedicated click bus lets you patch the metronome signal to any studio, headphone or control room bus, whereby volume and panorama may be adjusted individually.
- Key Command for Main Mix to Studio Bus
A simple key command is all it takes to route the main mix to each studio. Once this is accomplished, you will find it easy accommodate the speaker/artist’s wishes and adjust the mix accordingly.
Control Room – with no latency
Combined with Steinberg’s MR816 CSX or MR816 X FireWire interfaces, Nuendo 4.2 even allows the creation of monitor mixes with no latency. The Advanced Integration DSP Studios fully exploits the flexibility and power of Nuendo 4.2, providing the centerpiece of a latency-free recording and monitoring environment.
Monitor mixes using traditional architecture and created in the Control Room section introduce a certain amount of latency for live input signals when used with normal audio hardware. The MR interfaces remove that limit and enable the Nuendo mixing engine to create no-latency monitor mixes, using onboard VST3 DSP FX to include EQ, Compression and Reverb to quickly tailor a mix for a performer.
