Bug Report – Q-Link Output Routing with Tracks Inside a Folder

Environment:

  • Nuendo 15.30
  • Windows 11

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a standard Folder Track with no Group Channel assigned to the folder.
  2. Create 3 audio tracks inside this folder.
  3. Create 1 Group Channel outside the folder.
  4. Open the MixConsole.
  5. Select the 3 audio tracks.
  6. Use Q-Link (Shift + Alt) to change the output routing of the selected tracks and assign them to the Group Channel created in step 3.

Expected result:
All 3 selected audio tracks should be routed to the same Group Channel simultaneously.

Actual result:
Only the first selected audio track is routed to the newly created Group Channel. The other two selected audio tracks are not routed to the Group Channel and remain assigned to their previous outputs.

This means that Q-Link (Shift + Alt) does not apply the output routing change to all selected tracks when they are located inside a standard Folder Track.

Additional information:
The issue occurs with a standard Folder Track that has no integrated Group Channel output.

This appears to be a regression in Nuendo 15.30, as the expected behavior of Q-Link is to apply the output routing change to all selected tracks.

Hi - FWIW, this works as expected in Cubase 15.0.30

Just tried in a brand new empty project. In your step 6, all three selected audio tracks are assigned to the Group track, using Q-Link.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. However, I’m using Nuendo 15.0.30 Build 287 (x64), not Cubase as you mentioned. I’m also running Windows 11.

I’ve reinstalled Nuendo several times, but unfortunately the issue remains the same.

When using Q-Link, the selected tracks are not assigned to the same output as expected.

If it would help, I can make a video showing the issue and the exact steps to reproduce it.

I would appreciate it if you could help me find a solution, as this feature used to work correctly for me.

Thank you for your help.

It is important to hold down Shift + Alt before clicking the field for output assignment.
Q-Link won’t work if you press the keys after opening the pop-up menu.

Can you please check if the issue persists when applying the above?

Of course, I hold Shift + Alt before clicking the output assignment field. I’ve always done it this way.

I used this feature all the time and it worked perfectly before, but now it simply doesn’t work for me anymore. Q-Link does not assign all the selected tracks to the same output.

What else can I do to troubleshoot this issue? Would you like me to make a video showing exactly what happens on my system?

I’m happy to provide any additional information you need, but I would really appreciate some help finding a solution.

Hi,

I could not reproduce it here on my mac with Nuendo 15.0.30 Build 287.

I tried in the Mixer with the Q-Link Button, with Shift+Alt and in the Edit Window with Shift+Alt, all worked as expected.

I started a new empty project for the test.

I do not have a Nuendo 15 on a Windows machine to test at the moment.

Maybe this helps to rule out some factors.

Cheers, Dirx

Yes. I fully understand.!

I posted, because there is very close codebase sharing between Nuendo and Cubase and I thought I would test in Cubase to see whether this was a more generic problem across both apps, or not.

My conclusion would be it seems specific to Nuendo (and/or Windows only). Sorry I can’t help further (no access to Nuendo here).

Good luck with tracking the issue down.
