Audio Align

Nuendo

Hi group

I have difficulties using the new audio align tool. For some reason I can’t get it to work like it should.
I select the reference events and then I select the target events, hit both check boxes and then it calculates the new timing, but the result is not what it should be. If I do it manually (so how it works in Nuendo 11) the result is good.

So multiple events selection is not working. What can be wrong? I’m Nuendo 12.0.52, on a Mac Pro running Monterey.

What happens when you de-select both check-boxes? I use it that way regularly, with good success.

Hi @Dietz

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. I use it for dialogue tracks, to sync the boom mic with the lavalier mics. Both options (with or without checked boxes) are not working when used with multiple events.

what do you mean by this exactly. I’ve used it a lot and have not found a lot of issues. only when I select very long takes/clips with a lot of movement in the boom… then it becomes hard to find a sync point (that’s where auto align pro excels).
Please elaborate or make a video/screenshot.

Hi @klfnk2020

Thanks for replying.
Well, the problem is that is doesn’t match right, audio is not aligned correctly and sometimes the phase is flipped. The strange thing is that when I do it event by event (so not muliple events) all is working fine, like it worked in Nuendo 11. I tested it with a very simple project, two people sitting, 1 boom/2 x lav. Takes are not long and nobody is moving.
I see how it should work in the online tutorials, but for some reason it is not working here.

Best, Alan
