Nuendo 5 – Issues and Solutions
The following table describes issues you may encounter using this software as well as possible workarounds.
Area Issue Solution
Compatibility OMF import fails if parent folder contains special characters (Mac only). rename folder using ASCII characters.
Compatibility Possible crash when multiple MXF projects are imported consecutively. After importing 5 MXF projects in a row, restart teh application once.
Compatibility OMF from Final Cut Pro: All clips are placed at 00:00:00:00 Use the option "Import at Absolute Time" in the import dialog.
Compatibility [Import] * Open TL files from Tascam MX 2424 aren't read correctly when they
contain virtual tracks. The application "EDLtranslate" can be used to adapt these TL files.
Compatibility Some MP3 Pro files cannot be imported. MP3 Pro is no longer supported. Please convert these files befor importing
them into Cubase / Nuendo.
Compatibility [Export] * Multichannel interleaved files are not compatible with other applications
(e.g. Dolby Tools).
Use the option "Don't use Extensible wave format" in the Audio Export
Mixdown window.
Compatibility [Project] * Incompatibility with projects created in Cubase SL SX version 1.x.
Projects from Cubase SL/SX version 1.x are not supported anymore. Please
re-save using e.g. Cubase SL/SX version 3.x.
Compatibility [Import] * Some audio files cannot be found when importing OpenTL file.
If you want OpenTL file to be used in Nuendo later on, make sure not to
choose a directory path in the Media Destination field when you export the
file.
Compatibility Imported AES31 files from Wavelab - crossfades are missing. Activate "Render crossfades" function for AES31 export in Wavelab.
Compatibility Import of AAF files refering to MXF audio - no audio clips appear in the project
window.
Use "create new project" when importing the AAF first instead of importing
into an existing project.
Editing Funtions
[Device Panels] * Cubase may crash when you press Delete on your keyboard while a
Device Panel is selected in Inspector.
Device Panels can not be deleted this way, use the MIDI Device Manager
instead.
Editing Funtions
[Recording] * If Selection Tool and Range Tool are toggled and used on a track that is
currently recording, a crash might occur. Avoid using the editing tools on tracks that are currently recording.
Editing Funtions [Mixer] * Surround Panners are being reset when channels settings are copy / pasted
to other channels. Manually re-adjust the panning after you have copied channel settings.
Editing Funtions [Project] * Copy / Paste between projects doesn't work right with Folder parts (they
end up at 00:00:00:00 instead of their origin position.
Unpack audio events from their folders before copying them to another
project.
Editing Funtions Audio is slightly out of sync after Pitch Shift using MPEX algorithm has been applied. If accurate sync is needed, you need to manually adjust offset of the
processed events after the Pitch Shift process.
Editing Funtions
In lane mode, if a part under another part is muted, all un-muted audio above that part
is silenced as well. Switch Preference "Treat muted events like deleted" off.
Editing Funtions [General] * Key commands [S] or [M] for Solo and mute do not work for Folder tracks
in the project window. Please check that no window with the "Always on Top" mode is opened.
Editing Funtions
Using a pen / tablet device for scrub tool works only in one direction if the waveform is
shown on a secondary display The pen tablet has to be switched to "Mouse mode"
Editing Funtions [VariAudio] * Pitch Quantize slider may be sluggish to use if many note segments are
selected.
This happens in several minutes long audio files with a lot of note segments.
Try to work in smaller sections by cutting and bouncing the audio material.
Editing Funtions The selection command "Select in Loop" does not select folder track parts Close folder tracks before using selection commands.
Editing Funtions Time Stretch Tool does not work on very short clips. Bounce longer clips before time stretching.
Editing Funtions Adding a very high number of tracks (audio or MIDI) at once can cause temporary
unresponsiveness of the program. Add less tracks at once, e.g. groups of 20 tracks each.
Editing Funtions If audio offline process is opened by a command from a remote, Preview doesn't
work. Use a regular key command instead to open offline process.
Editing Funtions Very small audio fades (only a few samples long) may cause clicks. Increase audio fade length.
Editing Funtions Cannot delete font sets You can delete a font set by selecting it from the menu while holding down
<STRG>PC or <COMMAND>Mac
GUI Projects from Nuendo 4 open with plugins out of the screen view, so they cannot be
closed or moved. Toggle the screen resolution once in the Display Properties of Windows.
GUI [Mixer] * Pan controls are working reversed when used with mousewheel and holding
down the SHIFT-button (Mac OS X only).
Mac OS X sends mousewheel events for the horizontal axis for a mouse
which can only scroll vertically when the SHIFT key is down. If you have a
mouse which can scroll in both directions SHIFT scrolling works as expected
(e.g. Mighty Mouse).
Media Management AIFF recordings cannot be recoverd if the recording was interrupted e.g. by power
cut.
Please use WAV files for recording in critical situations. They can be
recovered.
Media Management
Navigating with cursor keys in MediaBay and CTRL+Space does not work on Mac OS
X.
Remap Spotlight to another key combination or assign another key
command for "Toggle Selection" in the Key Command window.
Media Management [MediaBay] * Nuendo MediaBay Selection in Previewer is inaccurate. Please make sure that the previewed files match the project sample rate.
Media Management Track archive / project files become very large like 200-300 mb.
Certain plugins like the Izotope RX Denoiser create a large amount of undo
data which will be stored with the offline process history. If this occurs, make
sure to "Freeze Edits" after applying offline processes.
Media Management If the language of the application is changed (e.g. from English to German), you
cannot "Configure Defined Attributes" anymore.
Please consider to not change the application language once you have
customized the MediaBay attributes.
Media Management Convert Tracks Mono to Mutlichannel: Automation of mutliple mono audio tracks can
not be combined. Only the first automation track will be included to the multichannel track.
Media Management [MediaBay] * A sound that is used by HALion cannot be previewed in the MediaBay. Unload the programs with the affected samples or skip these files in
MediaBay previewer.
Media Management [Export] * Windows Media Audio export from 5.1 bus results in unexpected error. The Microsoft codec component doesn't work. A Windows 7 update might
fix this problem.
Media Management [Import] * Nuendo crashes when loading a sample from the Magix Sound Pool If you have to work with these files, convert them to a standard conform
format.
Media Management If "FileVault" is used on Mac OS-X, it is not possible to save Templates. This may
affect other data the user saves as well. Do not use accounts with "FileVault" active.
Media Management [MediaBay] * Search for "number of bars" or "signature" leads to wrong results. Consider to sort the result list by attributes rather than searching for these
particular values.
Media Management [MediaBay] * After a folder has been renamed in the Finder, it appears empty in the
MediaBay (Mac OS X only). Rescan the particular folder that has been renamed.
Media Management [MediaBay] * Overwriting presets from the MediaBay Save Dialog (save VST Preset,
save Track Preset, save PatternBank) does not update changes in the meta data.
Don't overwrite the preset but use "make UniqueName" and remove the old
preset afterwards, if you want to change meta data.
Media Management [Export] * Nuendo sometimes crashes when importing OMF files.
If you have EuCon Plugin installed under the program plugins, it may help to
disable the EuCon plugin.
Media Management [MediaBay] * Problems may occur (e.g. impossible to create Track Presets)
depending on operating system User Account name.
To avoid potential Media Bay problems, please do not use user names
consisting only of CAPITAL letters.
Media Management
5.0 aiff file causes error message on Import "Sorry, this input configuration is
unknown or not supported". This is because aiff files do not write the channel
configuration to the file.Use Files BWF or WAV format for multichannel files.
Media Management Media Bay Previwer cannot display the Waveforms of SDII audio files. If you need to work with files that are still in SDII format, please consider
converting them to AIFF to make them compatible with teh MediaBay.
Media Management [Networking] * Sound Designer II files get corrupted when used with the Network
Collaboration feature. Convert any SD II file to WAV or AIFF.
Media Management
[MediaBay] * Factory loops from Sequel, or Sequel Content Packs and VST Sound
archives in general play out of sync after imported in projects which are not in 44.1
hHz sample rate.
To use loops from VST Sound archives in non-44,1 kHz projects, proceed
as follows:
1. "Save project to new folder"
2. Select all Loops in the Pool and uncheck "Straighten Up".
3. Use "Conform Files" from the Media menu.
4. Select all Loops in the Pool and enable "Straighten Up" again.
Media Management Long recordings with AIFF, WAV, BWAV and SDII, which exceed the largest possible
recording file supported by these file formats, will result in damaged recorded files.
If you consider making recordings with a duration longer than 4 hours in
mono or longer than 1 hour in 5.1, select the WAV64 file format for
recording in the project settings.
Media Management [Recording] * Available Record Time isn't re-calculated correctly when tracks have
been assigned to another Record Folder on another disk. Rec disable / enable to update display.
Musical Functions [Score] * Program crashes when MusicXML is exported. Switch to Page Mode first.
Musical Functions Depending on the ASIO buffer size, the MIDI Plugin "Step Designer" may cause
monophonic instruments to play unintended "Glides".
Put MIDI Plugin "TrackFX" after the Step Designer and set "length
compression" e.g. to 20/21.
Musical Functions For some reason the Guitar Symbols at Score Editor/Settings/Project/GuitarLib. are
missed, although present in Sequencer-folder.
Copy GuitarLib.xml manually from:
C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase 4\Presets to
C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase 4
System and Connectivitiy [Plug-ins] * Non-Universal Binary plugins can only be used if Mac OS X Rosetta
option is installed. Make sure Rosetta is installed before Cubase / Nuendo is launched.
System and Connectivitiy Program freezes when pressing the "Control Panel" button in the ASIO RME
Hammerfall HDSP dialog.
Driver update from RME should solve this issue. In teh meantime, adjust
audio card settings only while Cubase / Nuendo is not running.
System and Connectivitiy [General] * Umlauts and special characters might not work as key commands (Mac
OS X only). Please use other keys instead.
System and Connectivitiy [Hardware] * VST performance meter peaks on Apple laptops. Set "Line in" is set as input source in Core Audio device settings.
System and Connectivitiy [Hardware] * CC121 Controller: Automatic configuration doesn't work if Cubase was
launched before the CC121 was turned on (or plugged in). Connect and turn on the CC121 before launching Cubase.
System and Connectivitiy [Virtual Katy] * Editing operations may cause an unexpected increase of RAM
consumption. Lower the maximum undo count in the preferences.
System and Connectivitiy
[General] * If system is close to running out of RAM, the application may behave
erratically or crashes. This may happen if a memory-intensive plugins are loaded in
such situations (e.g. Sampler VSTi, or using several REVerence Reverb instances)
Reduce memory load by e.g. freezing Instruments or exporting them to
audio files, then removing memory-intensive Instruments. Please be aware
of maximum usable RAM, depending on the operating system. Consider to
use a 64-bit OS with the 64-bit version of Cubase / Nuendo. For recording
length, please refer to the operation manual.
System and Connectivitiy [Studio Manager] * Studio Manager MIDI ports will not be recalled correctly when
loading a Cubase SX or Nuendo 3.x projects.
You need to assign the proper MIDI ports manually again in the Studio
Manager.
System and Connectivitiy On certain systems with Intel HyperThreading technology Cubase / Nuendo might
freeze under heavy load. Deactivate HyperThreading.
System and Connectivitiy [General] * Program stops loading when initializing LoopMash. This can happen on systems with AMD processor if below the minimal
system requirements.
Transport / Timeline / Sync [SyncStation] * SyncStation does not get recognized by Windows. Windows users should always set the USB connection first and afterwards
powering on the unit.
Transport / Timeline / Sync
[SyncStation] * Do not use the SyncStation Firmware Uploader while Nuendo is
running. In this case the upload fails resulting in a corrupt firmware.
If this should accidentally happen you can reactivate the SyncStation by
pressing the down-arrow key while powering on the unit. Then you can
launch the Firmware Uploader again and install a current firmware.
Transport / Timeline / Sync [Instruments] * Dragging audio data from project into LoopMash may result in wrong
tempo detection in LoopMash if there is tempo track data involved.
Cut the desired portion of the audio file, then use "Bounce Selection". Drag
the bounced version into LoopMash then.
Transport / Timeline / Sync
[Recording] * Audio Recording might fail if individual track recording folders were used
and the record disk (e.g. Firewire Device) has been removed. Re-assign track record folder before continuing recording.
Transport / Timeline / Sync [Sync] * Wrong MTC is sent If Preroll is used and you START from 00:00:00:00 using
29.97 fps. Set projects with NTSC frame rate to a project start time of 00:00:00:00.
Video [Video] * Slow video response and possible other problems with old Matrox graphic
cards. Please consider to change to state of the art graphic components.
Video [Video] * Windows XP: In systems with 2 or more graphic cards, full screen video
works only on the the card with main windows monitor assigned.
OpenGL driver limitation in Win XP. Please consider to upgrade to Windows
7.
Video Some Cinepak encoded QuickTime videos crash Nuendo/Cubase. This is a bug in the current version of QuickTime (7.2 and before). Apple is
informed about it and should fix this in an update to QuickTime.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Surround] * Panning is wrong after a the Surround Panner has been switched to
Nuendo SurroundPan V5.
Please verify and adjust the panning manually if you want to continue a
Nuendo 4 mix using Nuendo SurroundPan V5.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [FX Plug-ins] * In some cases Panner / Surround Panner settings from
Cubase/Nuendo 3.x projects may be interpreted wrong by Cubase 5.
After loading projects from Cubase/Nuendo 3.x, please verify the Panner /
Surround Panner settings.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Export] * Exporting Audio is not responsive for a long period of time. If the project contains a complex tempo track the audio export will take a
long time.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine FX- or Group Channels cannot be selected as input source for newly created Audio
Tracks.
Deactivate preference "VST / Connect Sends automatically for each newly
created Channel" before creating the new recording tracks.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine Crash when loading a project using TC Powercore plugins without powercore
hardware is present. Connect and enable TC Powercore before use.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine Plugin doesn't process although side chain is fed into it. Set the preference "Suspend VST3 processing when no audio signals are
received" to inactive.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine Certain stereo VST Plugins do not route correctly in 5.1 busses and non default
configurations. Use the routing editor to correct the setting.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine If a license is missing or expired for a iLok protected plugin, Cubase / Nuendo might
crash on startup. Make sure proper licenses are installed.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine UAD presets don't show in Mediabay. https://www.steinberg.net/en/support/knowledgebase_new/show_details/kb_
show/VST3-Presets-location-changed
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Plug-ins] * Izotope RX doesn't work in Offline Process mode. Plugin must be adapted to match the VST specification.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Freeze] * Frozen files are excluded from sample rate conversion when changing
project sample rate Unfreeze before project sample rate change.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Hardware] * Switching sample rates while the project is played back may crash the
application. Only switch sample rates when in stop mode.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [MIDI Plug-ins] * Routing from MIDI tracks to Audio Plugins (e.g. MIDI Gate) may get
lost.
Changing the MIDI track order may cause the connections to the plugins to
not get saved with the project file. Please verify and correct the MIDI routing
after you have reloaded the project.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine
[Automation] * Automated VST2 plugins (and Surround Panners) do not automatically
update their parameter value display (e.g. knobs or sliders) when another song
position is located in STOP mode.
Actually the parameters are set correctly, only the graphics do not update.
On playback, the parameters will display their values correctly.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Instruments] * If the application is set to background while a plug-in is in the process
of loading sample content, it may crash. Wait until the plug-ins have completed the loading process.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [VST Bridge] * On some PPC plug-ins running on a Mac Intel via VST Bridge, text
entry might not be possible.
If no native Mac Intel versions of the plug-ins are available and you need to
enter e.g. serial numbers, start the application in "Rosetta" mode and enter
the settings. After that is done, start the application without Rosetta again.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [FX Plug-ins] * Roomworks plug-in stops working after a while (if very extreme
parameter values are set).
Avoid using very extreme parameter values like e.g. Reverb Time =
minimum / Room Size = maximum value.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Mixer] * Dragging plug-ins from stereo to mono channels may cause problems
(mising channels, garbled sound)
If possible, reinstantiate the plug-in rather than dragging between stereo /
mono channels.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine
[Mixer] * When plugins are dragged between insert slots while "Constrain Delay
Compensation" is turned ON, problems with the plugins might occur. This applies to
plugins that introduce a delay, such as e.g. plug-ins from UAD.
Turn "Constrain Delay Compensation" OFF before dragging plugins
between insert slots.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine QuadraFuzz, MultibandCompressor and maybe some others will crash on IntelMacs
after closing their editors.
Use universal binary alternatives.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine
[Mixer] * Title bar from extended Mixer view is outside the screen. (Mac OS X only on
dual monitor setups).Put Mixer in un-extended state and move it to a lower place on the screen
and then extend it again.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine
[FX Plug-ins] * Switching the ASIO / Core Audio buffer size can cause a system
freeze when certain plugins (e.g. Waves RVox) when the plugins are active but in
Bypass mode.
It's recommended to set the ASIO buffer size with no project loaded.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Instruments] * BFD plug-ins: Sounds may be cut when Freezing Instruments
channels.
If possible, use small ASIO buffer sizes before freezing BFD plugins
channels.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine Crash, after closing Project caused by "Double Delay" plugin. Please consider to change to newer state of the art plugins.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine
[VST Connections] * VST Connection presets don't restore ASIO ports correctly if "not
connected" ports are involved.
Either assign the VST connection busses to existing ports, or remove
unused busses.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine
[VST Bridge ] * Plug-ins using the VST Bridge may not display with their user interface
visible. Disable "Always on Top" for such plug-ins.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Plug-ins] * Program crashes if Wavelab Plugin "Leveler" is used. Do not use this plugin with Cubase / Nuendo.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [VST Expression] * Negative track delay may not work reliable with VST Expression
events.
Avoud using a negative track delay with more than 250ms if you work with
VST Expression events.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Instruments] * Prologue, Spector & Mystic may sound different after switching project
sample rate. Do not switch sample rate in the middle of the work on the same project.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Instruments] * Certain 3rd party instruments, e.g. Reaktor from Native Instruments,
may produce ASIO overloads on multi core CPU systems.
Toggling the Audio Priority in the Device Setup > VST Audio System from
Normal to Boost resolves this issue temporarily. Please look for an update
from NI for a permanent solution to this.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine Using same Input Channel like Output Channel may lead to feedback... If a feedback occurs at import of any audiofile check the input connection of
the track since the track gets record enabled by default.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Mixer] * The Mix Convert plugin setting are reset it to default if the plugin is being
dragged to another channel.
After dragging the Mix Convert to another channel, please manually set the
desired settings or load the specific preset.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine Adjustments made on a remote controller affect real-time audio mixdown. Don´t make adjustments on the remote controller during real-time audio
mixdown.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine Tracks with monitor on (manual) are not included in export audio mixdown. Turn input monitoring OFF befor exporting.
VST / Plugins / Audio Engine [Export] * Channel Batch export may start to export data even if there is not enough
disk space for all data available. Please make sure to export with plenty of disk space available.
