Hi, did someone test autocrossfades for recorded clips with Nuendo 10 ?
It was fundamentally broken in previous Nuendo versions (because the lack of post record buffer).
The problem for recorded material is that the end of recorded audio clips do not have a post record buffer, this mean that auto-crossfading is simply not possible.
Worst, the crossfade at the end of each recorded audio clip is silently replaced by a fade out, followed by a fade in of the next clip, without user notification.
This mean that audio quality is altered and most importantly this modification is hided from users because there is no graphical representation of autocrossfades. You need to mixdown the track and zoom in into the resulting waveform to see the result.
This mean as well that most users will not notice the missing crossfades.
The problem does not exhibit at the start of audio clips because the prerecord buffer do allow to extend the recorded clip material to the left so that crossfading becomes possible.
Clearly this is a problem that nobody seems to care about, but this is a serious flaw when using Nuendo for recording sessions. This is something that is working flawlessly in Protools (Protools do have a post record buffer).
If you add this problem to the bugged VCA automation functionality that users have reported since Nuendo 7, it is clear that Nuendo cannot compete with Protools for recording sessions, or at least it is difficult to trust it for that use.
From my experience, the worst thing a DAW can do is silently modifying the mix because of bugs. Those bugs should be at the top priority of the developer correction list so that the software can be trusted by professionals.
See here a description of the problem :
