Dear forum members,
We are happy to announce the availability of the Nuendo 6.0.4 maintenance update! It is available as free download and fixes many issues that have been reported by you. Thank you for your efforts.
The download is available here: Nuendo 6.0.4
Improvements at a glance
Visibility improvements
Better overall visibility of several icons and buttons as well as improved text readability of several parameters and values. The MixConsole focus indicator (white rectange) has been softened for being easier on the eyes.
Exclusive mode for channel strip modules
Individual channel strip modules can now be shown in exclusive mode to improve overview on small monitors.
New loudness meter options
Loudness meter settings can now be stored/recalled as presets. There are new options to set the true peak value lower than -6 dB and to freely define the reference level (to allow for non-EBU specification).
PitchCorrect Chord Track integration
The PitchCorrect plug-in can be now set up to use the Chord and Scale information in realtime from the Chord track in a project. To do so, load PitchCorrect on the desired audio track and set the Scale Source to “Chord Track – Chords”, then create a MIDI track and set its output to PitchCorrect in order to pass on the Chord/Scale events.
Improved Make Chords function
The Make Chords function (Project > Make Chords) now offers two new options: If “Detect Arpeggios” is enabled, there is a great improvement in how arpeggiated notes are interpretedas Chords.
Text Input for Chords
It is now possible to create chord events by entering text when using the Chord Editor.
Chord Track preference “Hide muted Notes in Editors”
This new preference controls if events should be hidden from the MIDI Editor displays instead of just showing them as muted notes on MIDI/Instrument tracks that follow the Chord track.
New MIDI Reverse function Mirror
This function visually mirrors MIDI events in a Part and can be used as an alternative way of reversing a MIDI phrase in case the Reverse function does not create the desired result.
Adding a new MIDI track with increased channel
When adding a new MIDI track via the Add track window, the newly created track will use the MIDI port from a selected MIDI channel and increases the channel number automatically.
Import Karaoke Lyrics as Text
This new MIDI File Import preference controls whether karaoke text (lyrics) are imported from a MIDI file as SMF-Karaoke (SMF-Event #5) or converted to “Text”-Events.
ASIO Driver Setup wizard
This new dialog provides information to help select the relevant drivers of the audio hardware connected without the need to open the Device Setup window.
VST Connection Helper
If no input- and output busses as well as “Studio” monitors have been setup in the VST Connections, an orange warning showing “Not Connected” will be displayed in the Status Line of the project window.
Mute VariAudio segments
In Pitch & Warp mode, each VariAudio segment includes a mute (X) symbol now. With this symbol, you can mute individual note segments.
ADR improvements
The Record and ADR modes are now specially protected against unintended interruption such as jog wheel operation and can be be operated without keeping the marker window open.
The video overlay for the dialogue marker attribute has been extended to display more characters (text) and the Take number attribute can be used to locate its relevant marker.
Return of the colour tool
The Color Tool is now available again in the toolbar!
Handling of track pictures
The track pictures browser now opens by double clicking the track pictures field.
Paste Relative to Cursor
This new command pastes multiple objects while keeping their relative position to the project cursor.
Improved vertical Zooming
When zooming vertically in the Project window the zoom behaviour now respects your track selection, trying to keep the tracks as stable as possible in the view.
Improved Track/Channel Search
The Track/Channel Search function has been improved for use with folder tracks and is now also available as a key command.
Faster Project load times
Projects using a large number of plug-ins are now loaded significantly faster.
Modern colour setup
The color setup handling has been modernized.
