<h3>Steinberg Nuendo 11 - Advanced Audio Post-Production System DAW</h3>
<i><span style="font-size: 16px;">With advanced ADR and audio reconforming built in, Nuendo is the most complete DAW for Film & TV Post-Production and Video Game Sound.</span></i><br /><br />Steinberg Nuendo 11 is the premier DAW available today that enables you to mix a movie or television series for Dolby Atmos® completely “in the box”. The workflow is the same as any traditional post-production project, but you now have the tools to assign beds and objects from tracks in an existing Nuendo project. You can also create an entirely new Dolby Atmos project from scratch. With the integrated Renderer for Dolby Atmos, you can author, mix and deliver Dolby Atmos-compliant ADM Broadcast Wave files and, at the same time, the final stems in different surround configurations.<div></div><h3>Nuendo 11 key features:</h3><ul><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Specialized Loudness Meter ensures Netflix-compliant streaming content</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">SpectraLayers One allows you to edit sound in the spectral domain with surgical precision</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Intelligibility Meter helps safeguard the audibility and clarity of your dialog</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">SuperVision metering plug-in includes customizable settings for an ultra-accurate view of your sound</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Job Queues lets you queue multiple jobs with different export requirements for simultaneous processing</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Soundly Cloud Services support enables you to import files from Soundly with a single mouse click</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Sound design tools and content for creating enhanced, multi-genre sonic experiences</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Sampler Track includes slicing, LFOs, and legato glide</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Music features, workflow, and performance enhancements</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Field Recorder Audio Import matches field recorder audio files to events in your project</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Video Cut Detection analyzes video files for edits and inserts markers for each cut</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Doppler effect simulates the movement, distance, and perception of a passing sound source</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">VoiceDesigner modifies voices and crafts otherworldly sound effects</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">dearVR Spatial Connect integration for creating and mixing immersive 3D audio content directly in the VR environment</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Music features like VariAudio 3, Distroyer effect, MixConsole Snapshots, and Groove Agent SE 5</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Audio Random Access (ARA) allows tight integration with plug-ins</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Channel strip EQ, VCA faders, and fully integrated loudness measurement</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Game Audio Connect 2 transfers whole music compositions as music segments into Audiokinetic Wwise</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Built-in ADR system allows for fully integrated voice and foley recording</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Advanced multitrack audio-to-picture editing with playlists and video-follows-audio editing</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Direct Offline Processing for applying the most often used offline processes as a chain for selected clips</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Sound Randomizer easily creates different variations of a sound</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Renamer automatic renames events within your project</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">VST MultiPanner allows for immersive sound panning while working in Dolby Atmos</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Integrated re-conforming solution for automatic audio-to-picture alignment</span></li><li><span style="background-color: initial;">Full integration with the Yamaha Nuage system</span></li></ul><br />
<h3>Getting Started</h3>
A post-production project usually consists of many mono audio tracks — containing the dialog and sound effects clips — and group channels that organize the sounds in submixes or stems. For an object-based mix this basic structure can be preserved, as it already offers many advantages. Depending on the delivery requirements, the ADM project will comprise one or multiple beds — for example, background sound and music — and a number of objects, including the dialog, Foley and other sound effects.<br /><br />

<h3>Setting up the Renderer</h3><div>When monitoring an object-based project, all the audio will be routed through the Renderer for Dolby Atmos, therefore it will have to be inserted into the project’s main output bus. The Renderer supports 2.0, 5.1, 7.1, 5.1.4 and 7.1.4 configurations. The configuration of the output bus will determine the maximum channel width of the rendering output and should match the speaker configuration of the room.</div><div>The Renderer can only be used with a project sample rate of 48 kHz and an ASIO buffer size of 512 samples.</div><br />
<h3>Configuring beds</h3><div>Beds are channel-based submixes, very much like the stems in an existing Nuendo project. Start by creating a group channel for each bed (if it does not yet exist) — for example, two 7.1 groups for the background sound and the music. All tracks routed to these groups will be part of the bed mixes. </div><div>In the ADM Authoring window, create as many beds as necessary — following the previous example, two beds in a 7.1 configuration — and use the previously created group channels as sources. The beds are now ready, with their audio routed through the Renderer.</div><br />
<h3>Creating objects</h3>Any audio track in a project can become an ADM object. You can create objects in the Authoring window and then assign any of the audio tracks from the project as the source. To convert an existing Nuendo project with a large amount of audio tracks into an object-based project, you can just select the tracks in the project window, go to the Authoring window and use the Create Objects from Selected Tracks function. The new objects will automatically be created with their audio routed through the Renderer.<br /><br />
<h3>Mixing</h3><div>Objects and beds are monitored through the Renderer, which means their audio is not summed in the MixConsole. During the mixing process, you will only listen to the Renderer's output.</div><div>Otherwise the usual channel-mixing techniques can be used, but with new and creative possibilities for immersive panning. Writing automation in the VST MultiPanner will transmit panning information as metadata to the Renderer, which will then pan the signal accordingly, in real time.<br /><br /></div><h3>Exporting ADM</h3><div style="">When exporting an object-based project, the master file must keep all objects separated. Beds and objects in the Authoring window can be exported as an ADM Broadcast Wave file. The file will contain all audio objects and beds, as well as all dynamic panning metadata and static metadata. It will also include rendering instructions for the playback device. When loaded into a playback system, an ADM mastering application, another DAW that supports Dolby Atmos or other Dolby encoders, the metadata will be applied.</div><div style="line-height: 22.4px;"></div><h3>Creating a channel-based downmix</h3><div style="">The Renderer can also create a channel-based, downmix version of the object-based mix. In the Renderer panel, choose the surround (or stereo) format to which you want to downmix your project. In the Export Audio Mixdown window, select the channel containing the Renderer plug-in and use the Split Channels option. This will produce the correct number of audio files for your downmix, plus a number of files with no audio you can ignore.<br /><br /></div><h3>Importing ADM files</h3><div style="line-height: 22.4px;">If your project starts with an ADM file — e.g. from the Dolby Atmos Production Suite — you can easily import it into a Nuendo project for further mixing or editing with the object automation intact. Bed and object audio channels, pan automation, program-level metadata and Group structure are all supported, with audio from ADM extracted to tracks in the Nuendo project. Folder tracks are created to represent the ADM Program/Group structure, while object tracks are assigned to the VST MultiPanner, with existing pan automation.</div>
