Live Recording
Nuendo 4 offers an outstanding, ultra-mobile recording system that excels in even the most demanding of modern live-recording situations. Nuendo 4 forms the backbone of bespoke recording solutions – be it as a software production system or as a backend for large recording consoles. The openness and scalability of the Nuendo 4 production environment allows you to tailor your ideal recording system to record hundreds of tracks simultaneously, selecting components from an enormous range of computer hardware and audio interfaces. Engineered to deliver peerless sound quality and excellent reliability, Nuendo 4 is one of the most attractive live recording solutions available today.
Quality and Flexibility
- Nuendo affords you freedom of choice when it comes to audio interfaces’ appointments, price and quality.
- Nuendo runs impeccably with high-end converters offered by distinguished manufacturers such as Apogee, Digital Audio Denmark, Prism Sound, DCS, Euphonix or RME.
- Extensive Control-Room functions, with fully separated output busses for headphone, control room, studio and main mix.
- Nuendo lets you capture great-sounding tracks that shine in up to 192-KHz and 24-bit quality. Internally, the Nuendo Audio Engine works with even higher 32-bit floating point resolution.
- By running several audio-projects simultaneously, you can easily copy audio-material with drag&drop functionality.
Security
- Temporary buffering protects against data loss during recording. Nuendo writes important information into the audio file as it records to ensure that the recording can be restored virtually in its entirety in the event of an unforeseen interruption (for example, a power failure).
- Pre-record Buffering automatically buffers up to 60 seconds prior to the start of recording. This ensures that the beginning of a recording is not lost if you engage the record button just a little late.
- What’s more, you can create an individual folder for every track to archive data. This option provides the best data throughput, enabling you to record simultaneously to different hard disks. This enhances data security because it allows a signal to be recorded simultaneously to different hard disks.
- Nuendo is designed to integrate readily into network environments, allowing you to use fast, secure RAID systems for backing up your tracks, as well as to easily employ any archiving and backup systems you have available for Nuendo.
Recordings for Several Hours
- With the benefit of WAV64 support, you can generate very large audio files beyond the typical two-GB limit.
- The Nuendo 24/7 Timeline enables recordings to continue from one day to the next on the Timeline without the technical problems encountered with other systems when the 00:00 hours threshold is crossed.
Controller, Synchronization and Machine Control
- Nuendo 4 supports numerous hardware-controllers, like WK Audio ID Controller, Yamaha DM2000, Steinberg Houston etc.
- In addition, you can arm tracks and control transport functions via MMC or SONY 9-Pin, and synchronize via time code and clock to external (video) signals.
- No worries, if a scenario mandates more performance than your system can deliver - simply solve the problem by networking several Nuendo systems via VST System Link. This technology serves to send transport commands and synchronization data via a conventional digital audio circuit.
Mix and Deliver
- The Nuendo Mixer lets you assign effect plug-ins such as EQs and dynamic effects to incoming signals during recording.
- New automation-system: the comfortable „Touch Collect Assistant”, Fill commands for writing automation and the optional “Virgin Territories” ensuring fully control of all automation parameters. Automated processes may also be captured while Nuendo records.
- 38 new VST3-PlugIns, mostly with possibilities for side-chaining.
- With any number of freely definable markers at your disposal, you can structure the project while recording. The waveforms of all tracks currently in record mode may be displayed instantly to afford you a good view of the process.
- Nuendo lets you hand over recordings in the form of Nuendo projects, as well as in all standard transfer formats, including OMF, AES-31 OpenTL and AAF.
