How to open a project from Nuendo 7 in Nuendo 13???
Or from Nuendo 11?
The project always opens in the same version of the program - even when I select it directly from Nuendo 13, or indicate in Windows that the file should be opened by Nuendo 13.
There were no such problems in the past - sometimes settings, files, instruments were missing - but the project opened in a higher version.
Does anyone know - how to open files from older versions in Nuendo 13???
Maybe uninstall the older versions of Nuendo?
Yes, but you have to not have any older version of Nuendo on your computer for it to automatically open it in Nuendo version 13.
If you have to, for some reason, have to have older versions of Nuendo in your computer alongside version 13, then right click on the Nuendo session file you want to open, and choose to open it with Nuendo 13 not with whatever version it is assigned to.
That’s what I did - in Windows it usually works - you select a program on your computer to open a given file and it should open.
But not with Nuendo 13.
It didn’t even open with 11 - but…
I’ll try - because maybe it’s my incompetence - I just got into 13 - and it failed.
There’s a problematic selection window there - maybe I need to understand it better. However, I see - that I’m not the only one having trouble with this on the forum.
thanks for the reply - I wish you a Happy New Year!
I reinstalled Nuendo 13 and it seems that it’s probably OK. I see old versions - but in Nuendo 13. I still have to work on how to replace missing instruments (outdated) - but it’s already good.
But I’ve learned a lesson - that you need to archive projects better.
And the conclusion:
Stay with one version of Nuendo as long as possible - upgrade every few versions. Less hassle, less learning a new version = more time for music.
Happy New Year Leszek.
As to archiving projects: Follow the NARAS guidelines.
Mainly, render all tracks as audio Broadcast wave 96kHz mono or Stereo interleaved, without automation, without time based effects like reverbs and delays that go to many tracks. Render them beginning at the start of the session, and ending at the same end point. Save them in 3 different formats if possible, two hard drives and one hard format such as DVD. Store in two to three different places.
Do not keep things as MIDI or as virtual instruments, render all those to their own audio tracks, multitrack is need be like with drumkits or multi part synths.
This guarantees further down the road you can work on the project again where you left off. Make plenty of notes too and keep with the audio.
Cheers.
Thanks
That’s exactly what I’ll do. But midi tracks are also useful - especially for drum tracks and vst instruments - and it’s best to have them in parallel as audio and midi.
Instead of musical notation.
It’s easy to substitute an instrument later, or correct it if necessary.
All your other advice is great.
Yes, I forgot to say, you can keep the MIDI. Just don’t forget to render anything into an audio file.
