Nuendo 4 comes with a completely redesigned automation engine that offers some creative performance based automation tools. Continue Reading
If you find yourself in the situation of having to edit multiple tracks together then here is a quick tip to snap all edited events next to each other ready for crossfading. Continue Reading
To quickly name all events on a track with the same name double click on the name on the track to edit, and then press <shift> + <enter> to commit.
One of the features of Nuendo / Cubase is that you can process a clip or section of audio off-line with either a plug-in or built-in process. This off-line processing is non-destructive (you can undo it at any time) and allows for some very fast and flexible editing techniques.
Using the range tool select the piece of audio that you wish you tune. Use the command “Split Range” to extract the selected range into a separate event.

Right-click and choose to process the audio with Autotune – this will pop up Autotune

To get Euphonix style meter colors in Nuendo or Cubase with a hard color break point at -20dB FS and then a gradient change from yellow to red in the upper area either go to your “Documents and SettingsUSERApplication DataSteinbergNuendo 4PresetsConfigurationsCONFIGNAME.XML” file and replace the old “Audio Meters Colors” code with the following:

Here is a handy replacement for the default audio metronome sounds.
To use these, download and save to a directory on your computer. In Nuendo / Cubase go to “Transport -> Metronome Setup” and then ensure “Audio Click” and “Sounds” is activated. From there click on the “Hi” and “Lo” boxes and locate the 2 downloaded sound files.
