Hello,
Long time Nuendo user, new N10 user. We’re moving our 14 systems to N10 and I’m doing some proofing before that. I have some operation questions if someone has some insight.
Add track dialog -
Nice dialog window, however when adding multiple tracks I’m missing a few things, perhaps it’s me.
First, there doesn’t appear to be a way to increment the input and output buses when adding multiple tracks. All our projects have high I/O counts. We can select the tracks and increment the I/O, which we do now, but this new dialog seems ready to offer that. Is there a way to accomplish auto-incrementing I/O when adding tracks?
Second, we name our tracks so they sort correctly per the track sheet in Finder or Explorer, meaning a number comes first, then a dash, then the track name. Ex.-
001-Kick In
002-Kick Out
003-Snare Top
etc.
If I enter a “001-” in the Name field and add multiple tracks I get -
001-1
001-2
001-3
etc.
Anyone know of a way to accomplish a leading numerical increment?
Third, selecting the Audio Inputs pulldown there does not appear to be a way to select No Input. I can do this on the track but not on the Add Track dialog. Seems like a basic function, anyone know of a way to accomplish that?
Buses window -
I seem to have hit a bus count limitation. I looked in the manual and couldn’t find a reference to a limitation, however with this setup I could not add any more than approximately 4 or 5 more busses. If I attempted to add 10 I only got some. If I then deleted a couple of the added ones and attempted to add 10 again, I got to the same number. No matter how I got there the maximum appeared to always hit the same. Is there a way around this?
I ask because during acquisition we usually record 192 mono tracks and render interleaved stereo and surround files later for various distribution destinations. This time I attempted to record both sets simultaneously to save a bunch of time and ended up not able to add enough busses to accommodate. Anyone know of a way to make more busses than our current maximum, whatever that is?
Mix Console Less Overview -
I overlaid two Mix Console Overviews from two projects because I couldn’t seem to upload more than three files.
The two overlaid Overview pictures have different numbers of meters corresponding to tracks visible in the Overview. Both projects have more tracks than will fit in the Overview width, however one project’s Overview meters stop well short of the window’s edges, the other project’s Overview meters extend to the window’s edges. Both projects have more tracks than will fit in the Overview and will scroll the Overview if the mixer is scrolled there. If that makes sense. Anyone know why? I’d like to have as many visible as possible.
Another one I don’t have a picture for -
When adding multi-channel input or output busses in the Audio Connections window, each and every surround leg must have it’s hardware input or output assigned. Ex. -
- Select Device Port for Lf of bus.
- Scroll and scroll to the needed hardware port.
- Select Device Port for Rf of bus.
- Scroll and scroll to the needed hardware port.
- Select Device Port for Ctr of bus.
- Scroll and scroll to the needed hardware port.
- Select Device Port for Lfe of bus.
- Scroll and scroll to the needed hardware port.
- Select Device Port for Ls of bus.
- Scroll and scroll to the needed hardware port.
- Select Device Port for Rs of bus.
- Scroll and scroll to the needed hardware port.
- And that’s just one 5.1 input or output.
Is there a more streamlined way of doing this? Each surround bus will be somewhere in the Madi inputs or outputs and I’d like the ability to, for instance, select the first leg and have the others auto-increment. Is that or something similar possible?
Thanks for any input you may have. Enjoying N10 so far even though it’s a bit greedy compared to N7 but quite nice so far. Stability is to be determined.
Thanks,
Hugh
