THE
NUENDO 2.0
Nuendo was created to perform any
task within the media industry. The new Nuendo
version delivers a complete media production system,
designed with the needs of the user in mind and meeting
the demands of working professionals in all genres of
audio production: composition, film, broadcast, music,
post production, surround, game sound and multimedia.
Nuendo
is the
culmination of
years of expert
engineering research and
has been developed to take
the advantages of flexible, native systems to a new
level of versatility. We believe that Nuendo
is the pinnacle of professional media
production, offering
you not just outstanding
performance
but
the ergonomics to channel
that performance more effectively
and creatively.
Applications: Live recording
 Concert
and motion pictures.
Live
recoding can be done in any format from 16 to 32 bit
with sampling rates up to 192khz.
In
combination with the WAVEBX it is bypassing
any single hardware location recording system in versatility,
track count , sonic quality and recording/routing capability
to multiple locations or drives.
Instant
wave-image creation gives you visual confidence monitoring
the same time you are recording.
Quick
remixing features let you optimize your mixes in downtime
on the set and location enabling you to deliver to your
clients the best mix possible.
Applications:
Post Production
Working
to picture involves specific demands. Beginning with
syncing to the video itself, it requires not only the
ability to exchange with other workstations, but also
an intelligent way of handling huge file libraries.
All this whilst offering a workflow that can live up
to the speed of the post production industry.
 Nuendo
exceeds the daily demands of film, television and video
work. Not only can Nuendo handle most common
video files internally, syncing to external video equipment
is also achieved via SMPTE or Sony 9-PIN. Fast alignment
of sound to picture is ensured by a completely new scrubbing
engine and fast access to audio file sync points.
 Integration
into existing studio environments and exchange with
other studios is guaranteed by the support of all important
interchange formats like OMF,
Applications:
Music Production
Everything
required for music production in all genres, from classical
to the latest sounds is included in Nuendo 2.1.
Extended MIDI functionality and support for virtual
instruments help the creative process of composing.
 The
Nuendo audio engine
and new mixer have been
engineered to handle intensive recording sessions just
as you would do with any hardware mixer and multi-track
recorders.
Nuendo
opens unlimited creative
possibilities for editing, processing and polishing
your audio files and arranging
your tracks. From there, Nuendo takes you directly
to the process of mixing,
mastering and encoding even to the latest standards
in surround if needed. Additional technologies like
ASIO, VST, LTB, Rewire and VST System
Link
emphasizes the Nuendo philosophy: to prepare
you for any eventuality in music production. All of
this is achieved with incomparable sonic quality of
up to 32 Bit and 192 kHz.
Applications:
Multimedia
In
today΄s multimedia world it has become essential to
deliver your product with the right sound.
Every
single CD-ROM ,DVD or DVD-RAM and most internet sites
today include a wide spectrum of audible information
and acoustic entertainment. Nuendo, one of the
best known media production systems, is capable of always
delivering the right sound regardless of the medium,
be it games, educational CDs, corporate video, promotional
or informational internet sites, video clips or any
other multimedia application.
 With
its huge list of supported file formats Nuendo
is ready to cope with all modern sound ideas, no matter
how exceptional the needs of your product are. The creative
process for music and sound design is supported by integrated
sound modules and many features for automatic creation
of impressive audio collages. The large set of tools
to synthesize and match sound to any kind of visual
make Nuendo a real time-saver when creating audio
for your project.
The
integrated video player supports all important multimedia
files and lets you keep the focus on your product while
you are adding audio information. All files can be stored
in libraries for fast and extensive file archiving with
drag and drop. All edits, regions and sync points prepared
are stored for later use.
 Once
you have created your audio, Nuendo again displays
the ability to adapt to the needs of audio production
for any media. Nuendo offers a range of export
options that reflects the variety of the multimedia
industry itself, be it small files for fast delivery
via the internet or high quality audio files for CD-ROMs
and DVD.
ES31
and OpenTL to name but a few. Nuendo is even
prepared for the final processing of your project to
surround formats like Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital
or DTS with the optional Nuendo Dolby Digital
and DTS encoders. The advanced Nuendo file management
system lets you create, handle and access huge sound
libraries locally as well as via a network. This supports
the creative process in sound design and ensures data
security.
Nuendo
also features the ability to split large projects and
work on them in parallel by appointing multiple editors
in networking pools. This is just one of the features
especially designed for post production customers that
speed up the pace of your production.
 Designing
expressive commercials or jingles, creating radio news
stories or working on multi-part radio plays requires
that the audio workstation used offers all the tools
needed. The Nuendo Media Production System is
fully equipped for all the above and more. The Nuendo
project concept means that both pitch and time elements
of your projects can freely be manipulated, and guarantees
intuitive, single-layer editing, fast browsing of sound
archives and concise arranging of content.
Dynamic
modules for compression and limiting, superb filters
and restoration tools are just as easily available as
fast event level handling, extensive automation and
a professional cross fade editor - all to get the best
sounding mix. Nuendo enables reporters, editors
and engineers to compile original recordings, interview
files accompanied by music, narrator texts and additional
sound effects quickly and efficiently, molding them
into impressive master mixes ready to go on air.
Applications: Surround
 With
surround sound being present not only in movie theatres
worldwide but also having found its way into millions
of private homes, Nuendo offers everything needed
for modern surround productions. The entire Nuendo
signal path from input to output was designed as a multi-channel
environment. Every input channel, audio track, effect,
group track and output section of Nuendo offers
up to 12 discrete channels, ready for full-scale 5.1,
7.1, or even 10.2 productions. Recording in surround
only requires setting up an input bus that matches the
surround format of the incoming surround signal. The
recorded multi-channel file is either interleaved or
split and can be edited and handled as one single file
if desired.
Multi-channel
effects can be utilized as send and insert effects and
the latter can even be processed/printed into the recorded
file if needed. But not only can various multi-channel
input buses be defined, also various output buses can
be created and used alternately. This allows switching
between multiple monitoring configurations (speaker
arrangements) to easily create mixes in more than either
stereo or 5.1, without forcing you to set up a new project.
Any
of the input/output busses can be routed to and from
every track. Even if the multi-channel configuration
differs within a project or between a track and effect,
Nuendo offers a large set of options to correct
these mismatches. Nuendo 2.1 always keeps track
of which part of the signal chain is multi-channel and
which is simply stereo or mono and allows for repatching
at all important connection points in the mixer.
To
finalize your production, optional encoders for Dolby
Digital and DTS are available. Nuendo lets you
simulate a wide variety of end user monitoring environments
before you start encoding to these industry standards,
to ensure that your mix is always delivered with the
highest compatibility to all kinds of end formats.
