Issue with ARA: Undo after moving an event doesn’t work

Discussed and confirmed here: ARA and Ctrl+Z event positioning doesn't work

When you apply an ARA process (such as Spectralayers) to an audio event, moving the event in the timeline or changing its duration is updated in the ARA Editor. So far, so good.

However, if I move an event (i.e., position it earlier or later on the same track in the timeline) and undo that move (Ctrl+Z), the undo is not reflected in the ARA Editor. It remains in the old position in the ARA editor and can no longer be played at all. It remains silent, both at the correct timeline position and at the “ghost position” in the ARA Editor. Strangely enough, however, length changes are indeed transferred correctly to the ARA Editor when I press Ctrl+Z.

This isn’t a Spectralayers issue either, happens with every ARA effect.

OFFICIAL UPDATE

The issue has been reproduced and added to our list for future fixing.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Subject: Nuendo 15 Freeze During Export / Render In Place (Timecode Keeps Running)

Hello,

User shoon0312 and I are experiencing the same issue in Nuendo 15.

Nuendo freezes when performing an Export or Render In Place. The timecode continues running endlessly, but the application becomes completely unresponsive and the process never completes.

This issue does not occur in every project, but it consistently happens in projects that include:

• Video tracks

• Tempo changes

• A mix of Linear and Musical mode tracks

Important point:
On the same computer, with the exact same plugins and configuration, Nuendo 14 works perfectly and completes these operations without any issue.
However, Nuendo 15 fails every time under the same conditions.

This strongly suggests a regression in Nuendo 15.

This function is essential for professional workflows, so we kindly ask you to investigate and fix this issue as soon as possible. For me now, Nuendo 15 is unusable/useless.

Thank you in advance for your support.

OFFICIAL UPDATE

A fix for an issue where Export Audio Mixdown and Render In Place could freeze the application has been included in Nuendo 15.0.21.

Please let us know if the issue still occurs in Nuendo 15.0.30 and, if so, provide the steps to reproduce it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Issue: Fill Loop Automation doesn’t exactly fill the loop range

As discussed here with confirmation: Fill Loop Automation doesn't exactly fill the loop range

When automating parameters in N15 with activated “Fill Loop” option, Nuendo does not write the parameters exactly into the loop, but creates small ramps at the beginning and end of the loop. This leads to audible EQ sweeps for example. This means you can’t have immediate parameter-changes on one track and you need to checkerboard events over multiple tracks if you don’t want to correct every single automation point by hand.

OFFICIAL UPDATE

The issue has been reproduced and added to our list.

Thank you jojojojojojojonas for bringing it to our attention.

@Fmarine

Offline process : so long !! buggs one the graph of plugins as FabFilter taking full screen and impossible to have on little gaphic presentation. And so much ressources than v14 … please correct it !

Hi Fmarine,

Noted and reported.

Could you please provide us the scaling set in your system? both in Nuendo and in the used OS? (Win or Mac scaling settings)

This would help us identify and fix the issue. Many Thanks!

Extertal DAW controller still can not select several tracks since N12.

This issue has been confirmed by Steinberg In N13 and N14. Not solved in N15.

Hi Dolfo,

Could you please let us know which DAW controller you are referring to?

This would help us identify the issue (EuCon/ Mackie Control/MIDI Remote).

Thanks!

[Dolfo]

Hello. Thanks for reply.

I use a Yamaha DM2000 as DAW controller that runs well the select several tracks function up to N12. Also happens with AVID artist control series, Behringer X-touch and Steinberg Houston wich are the controllers I own.

I hope this helps to bring again this useful function.

Thank you.

@Enec0

After double clicking on a template (built-in or user) in the HUB and selecting a location for the new project, the “Project Setup” window pops up and a blank new project is created instead of the template. I can’t open any templates so far.

Hi Enec0,

We are not able to reproduce this issue, using Sequoia 15.7.5 here.

Thanks.

@dimonskinke

Thank you Timo!

I have en issue with unreliable Midi Remote integration, multiple greyed out instances of controllers showing up. Was hoping it would be solved in N15, but not yet.

Elastique algorithm causes pops/glitches

When using transpose/time-stretch/warp in the project manager with the elastique algorithm, sometimes pops or crackles will play back in the audio. If this clip is then rendered in place the pops will be present in the render. This has been reported for a very long time in Cubase & Nuendo and is still present in N15.

NB: I am happy to create a fresh video demonstrating this bug in N15 if that is useful, or demonstrate it on a video call…whatever you need, I’d love to squash this one!

Repro steps:

• Insert audio event on timeline
• Set Algorithm to any Elastique Pro - Time
• Timestretch using tool, or change transpose/finetune value
• Begin playback from just before event - pop/glitch may be present, if not then change stretch/tranpose value and repeat
• If pop/glitch can be heard, use Render in Place on event
• Pop/glitch will be visible in rendered event

Well, take a look at the linked thread. Other people are having this issue too, so it is real and needs to be addressed!

Track Pan Display Bug:

When I activate edit-in place on an Instrument-track, the right pan-handle of the panning control becomes cut off, it´s accessible, but still this seems to be a bug.

When adding the “SPL Transient Designer Plus” plugin by Plugin Alliance, the DOP window creates a lot of empty space around the plugin:

Hi Enec0,

Could you please let us know which scaling is being used in both your Operating System and in Nuendo? This would help us identify the issue.

Thanks!

@Tada_Mitrevej

Audio Event > Show Event Volume Control > set to >> Never.

But when mouse cursor hovering around bottom left corner of the event,

the cursor turns to text input cursor,

once click, the volume box shows up and ready for keyboard input to type in text.

Please kindly fix this.

Hi Tada_Mitrevej,

We’re happy to confirm that this issue has been fixed in Nuendo 15.0.30, released on June 3, 2026.

Thank you to everyone who reported the problem and provided feedback.

Nuendo requires 2 alt-tabs to switch away to another program if an overlay window is present, even though that window doesn’t appear in the Task Switcher:

@jeroenBE

I am experiencing since the launch of N15 a couple of noticeable UI scaling regressions in Nuendo 15 compared to Nuendo 14.

My setup uses a 45-inch 1440p monitor with Windows system scaling set to 125%. Because of this, I run Nuendo at -25% scaling. While Nuendo 14 handles this perfectly, Nuendo 15 has some frustrating issues:

• Disappearing Track Dividers: The track divider lines are glitching. As I zoom in and out, they constantly jump between being visible and completely invisible.

• Incorrect UI Size: At -25% scaling, Nuendo 15 renders significantly smaller than Nuendo 14 and older versions. It is currently too small to read and work with comfortably.

Attached is an example of the track dividers jumping while zooming.
Please look into this and fix it in an upcoming maintenance update. Thanks!

Hi JeroenBE,

Thanks for the detailed description.

The issue has been reported for future fixing.

[Enec0]

I’m using the “More Space” setting on macOS resulting in a screen resolution of 3008 x 1692 with a 6k display.

The scaling in Nuendo is set to “Default”.

[Enec0]

Oh wow, didn’t know about that option. I adjusted my reply accordingly.

“Nudge Left” custom key command not working

The issue is being discussed here: Thread

I tried to set up an additional custom key command besides the regular “Command+Left” for “Nudge Left”. However, it is not working. When I use my custom set key command only the range selection is nudging left, but not the selected audio clip:

Hi Enec0,

We could not reproduce this issue. We could assign the Nudge Left key command successfully on both WIN and Mac.

Thanks!
