I’m having a problem with the rotary encoders for panning - panning is ‘scratchy’ for lack of a better explanation. Performance in PT9 is smooth on the same machine. Also smooth with N5 on my MacBook. But, on my main W7 machine panning is not smooth with N5. I end up using the mouse for fine adjustments. When you pan on the MC Mix and Control I can never get small increments - it either jumps or doesn’t move, etc, etc.
Defaults are the same here… Same issue when panning in surround.
Let me explain further…
If I pan slowly (on any track), Nuendo doesn’t read the slow movement of the encoder. It only reacts to faster and bolder moves on the Control and the Mix. Fast left and right - no problem.
But, if I pan slowly to the left, for example, it reads: -1, -2, no movement, then jump to -10… etc, etc…
I have installed PT9 on the same machine for file transfers and the units work perfectly. Smooth, sensitive panning. For some reason it is only Nuendo on the PC. The Nuendo install on my MacBook Pro also works as it should.
Everything else works correctly - faders, transport, scrub…
same thing here with MC Control on N5.1.1 on PC.
It’s just not usable this way, which is a shame. Does anyone have a setup that works fine on PC? Any special settings?
Yeah I too have this issue with the crappy response of the rotary encoders with Nuendo on windows…I am pretty sure that PT on the same machine is fine…
are you guys still experiencing this after upgrading to EuCon 2.6.1?
I have just verified this on Cubase 6.0.3 and MC Pro under EuCon 2.6.1. The Panning works just fine here, on Win7 32-bit.
I just tried this out on the MC Mix (under EuCon 2.6.1) with Cubase 6.0.3 as well as Nuendo 5.5. The pan works just fine here. (You are referring to the channel stereo pan, right?)
One tiny difference I notice here when compare to the MC Pro encoder is that, the Artist device seems to have some sort of encoder rotation speed handling on their knobs. With that, turning the knob quickly with the same delta would yield a higher change when compared to turning the knob slowly. Despite all this, I can still achieve a step-wise adjustment without much hustles.
By any chance, have you forgotten to update the firmware on your MC Control?
Yep the encoders still suck balls in Nuendo for me
They work perfectly in Protools 9 on the same system.
You can do better on the eucon adapter Steinberg, or maybe even acknowledge the issue as a nice start…
After some communications with Avid, we are able to reproduce this strange behavior on some of our systems here (after trying this on different ones). For some reasons, this seems to be obvious only when running Cubase 32-bit on a 64-bit platform, but not observable when running in the native mode (32 on 32, 64 on 64, etc).
Meanwhile, the good news is that, this issue has been addressed . So, please kindly wait for for the upcoming maintenance release, thanks!
