I noticed a change in Nuendo 14 that’s not mentioned in the full new features list. The colour change when selecting an event. I do not like this and would like to remove it if possible. I searched the preferences high and low and cannot find a way myself.
See below for what i’m referring to about…
Nuendo 13
Nuendo 14
+1 - I’d also like it the way it was
+1, please!
Funny, until last version you could choose either red outlines or inverted colors, now the colors always change, and you toggle the outline on or off.
I always used the color change, but now I’m loving to use both. Makes it for a very clear selection.
But I definitely don’t understand why make such a change and limit the options this way. Why not just allow one, the other or both?
When editing a lot, that hopping black is very annoying. There is no option to turn it off or to have it like it was in 13.
Steinberg should provide the opportunity to choose.
I don’t like the reduction in size of the selected track indicator. Older variations had the track increase in size and turn white. Very obvious. Now, in v.14, the track still increases in size, but you only get this tiny pin stripped white line. NOT very obvious. The first time I saw that, I thought I had a glitch or something. I much prefer the old method. This new appearance will greatly increase the odds of making mistakes in track selection.
I’m not sure what you are referring to with “tiny pin stripped white line”, but you can change the brightness of the selected track in preferences.
Edit>Preferences>User Interface>Track & MixConsole Channel Colors
There is a slider for “Selection Brightness” That goes from no change at all to 100% White.

Please.
Steinberg and colors… always something weird somewhere.
I did de-select “Show Color for Selected Channel” and that turned the selected channel to NO COLOR (Gray) in the same fashion as N12’s white option. I prefer the white. But the contrast of the no color works pretty much the same. So, thanks for the tip!
Oh I’m sure theres a preference for this. Mine is just like your first pic.
In N14? How do you get it to show white?
I just put that slider I told you about fully to the right and it looks pretty white to me!
When doing a major upgrade, i’ve found that some of the settings revert back to default and others stay fine. It’s weird, but you’ll have to re-set the channel selection brightness in the preferences to get it bright again as henrique described above. for some reason my preference for this was kept so I see bright selected channels.
I think I know why they chose to force this event colour inversion on us, and I think it has to do with the new audio segment editing feature; to create more contrast so you can see the highlighted segments easier. When the event is not selected the highlighted segment is still visible but just less contrast.
+1. I went over and over in preferences and can’t find a way to turn it off.
+1. The invert colour change when selecting an event is very disturbing for my workload focus.
At least we should have the freedom of choice!!!
We should demand the choice for no color inversion when selecting an event.
+1 Please
I want it the way it used to be.
If Steinberg are listening, I believe the most ideal thing would be to give us a darkness slider so we are able to choose the amount of darkening. Or if its easier to implement, just allow us to turn it off/on.
Thank you
