File Management in the Nuendo Pool
The Nuendo Pool window is a remarkably convenient option for managing all the audio, video and MIDI data files used in a project in lists. Its many features include import and export functions, metadata display, searches, sorting, a preview option, and tools serving to organize and archive contents. You are free to define the folder structure as you see to tidy up even the most extensive projects.
Files may be edited directly in the pool. To do this, you can use the 16 offline effects integrated in Nuendo, including Pitch Shift, Gain Control and DC-Offset Distance, as well as well as every installed plug-in. And the Pool’s batch processing facility lets you quickly convert and process many files simultaneously.
Files are inserted automatically at the desired position via the context menu or freely definable key commands (cursor, Time code position or the time position of the original recording). Useful features as Convert, Conform, Batch Rename, Automatic Minimize and Remove Unused File/File Parts, alongside audio CD import and an archiving option, round out the wide range of functions found in the Nuendo pool. In addition, the pool is an excellent choice for working with sound libraries. You can create new libraries and fill them with media files whenever you wish, and archive and import these into any Nuendo project. And with the benefit of drag & drop, you can transfer files intuitively and quickly among different libraries and projects.
Nuendo supports metadata in accordance with EBU specifications for BWF (Broadcast Wave) files. On demand, Nuendo will write these data into WAV, WAV64 and files AIFF. In addition, user-defined metadata may be added every audio file within a project, say to document the name of the artist, the role number or the number of takes. BMF metadata are displayed as soon as audio files are import and are also viewable in the pool. Unless you edit metadata when exporting files from Nuendo, the original metadata record is written into the files in order to assure metadata consistency, which is vital for many production processes.
