So as I dive deeper and deeper into Nuendo, I'm loving it more and more. I figured I'd start a thread where we could share any cool ideas/tips/tricks with either nuendo or cubase. I'll go first....
Setting up a REF Mix in your session:
So for me, the biggest thing I miss when not working on a console is the external to monitor switches. Being able to toggle between what i'm doing and a ref mix with one button is a godsend for me. It's always been a little tricky to do in a DAW. With Control Room I've figured out (with some help!) how to make this same function work.
Here's the scenario. I have my song I'm mixing called "song 1" and my ref is "song 2" For simplicity I a referencing the song I'm mixing with a stereo audio file but in reality it represents a standard 30-75 track mix. You could just solo switch between your mix and your ref, but then the ref goes through all your master buss processing...
So here's what you do:
1- Go to your VST connections
2- Create another OUTPUT
3- Create a stereo out in the control room section
4- Set the REF mix to the other stereo out
5- Assign a key in the key commands section, under control room, MONITOR SOURCE SELECT.
VOILA, you can now switch backwards and forwards between the mixes with one key, and have 2 separate plugin paths if you choose.
So there you go, there's one tip I found quite useful. Hopefully some of you with have some other cool ones!
As a side note, a friend of mine has a website with a few awesome nuendo tips. It is old and a little outdated, but I think some would find it interesting!
