    23 – 544 The Track Sheet
    Overview
    The Track Sheet provides a text-form “flow-chart” representation of the 
    Project. It lists all audio (and video) tracks and their contents, and can 
    easily be printed out. 
    To open the Track Sheet window, select “Track Sheet” from the 
    Project menu.
    The actual Track Sheet is displayed in the lower part of the window. It 
    contains the following items:
    •The leftmost time column contains a list of time positions in the display 
    format selected in the Project Setup dialog.
    The time positions relate to start and end times of audio or video events or parts on the 
    tracks.
    •The following columns display the tracks in the order they appear in 
    the Track list.
    Only audio and video tracks are shown.
    •The events are listed in their corresponding track columns in the order 
    they appear (starting at the top).
    •For each event, the start and end times are shown, with a vertical line 
    binding the two together.

    Viewing the pages in the Track Sheet
    If your project is large (i.e. there are many tracks and/or many events) 
    or if you are working with a large scale factor (see below), the result-
    ing Track Sheet may have more than one page.
    The more tracks you have, the larger the number of pages next to 
    each other (horizontally). The more Events you have, the larger the 
    number of pages below each other.
    To select which page should be visible in the Track Sheet window, 
    you use the “Y Page” and “X Page” fields in the upper left part of the 
    Track Sheet window. You could think of the Track Sheet as divided 
    into rows and columns, with “Y Page” determining which row should 
    be viewed and “X Page” determining the column. The numbers in pa-
    renthesis show the total number of rows and columns, respectively.
    •The size and proportions of the Track Sheet pages are set with the 
    Page Setup dialog, as described on page 548.
    In this case, the page in row 2 and column 3 is shown:

    Adjusting the view
    The two sliders at the bottom of the Track Sheet window have the fol-
    lowing functionality:
    •The slider in the lower left corner is the scale slider.
    Use this to adjust the actual size of the Track Sheet contents (including the font sizes). 
    This will also affect the number of tracks and events shown on each page. 
    •The slider in the lower right corner governs the display zoom.
    This affects how much of the Track Sheet is shown in the Track Sheet window – the 
    printout is not affected.
    You can also adjust the width of the columns by dragging the edges 
    of the “Timecode” and “Tracks” fields at the top of the window - this 
    resizes the corresponding columns in the Track Sheet.
    Resizing the track columns. If the Timecode and Tracks fields are hidden, click the 
    “More” button.

    Additional settings
    •The “Pen Width” determines the thickness of the vertical lines that 
    bind together the start and end times for events and parts.
    •If the Track Sheet is more than one page wide, you can use the “Time 
    Code Column” pop-up menu to determine whether the time column 
    should appear only on the first page, on each new page, or not at all.
    The following settings can be shown or hidden by clicking the “More/
    Less” button.
    Setting Description
    Project  By default, this is the name of the current project, but you can ad-
    just this if you like. The project name will be shown in the top left 
    corner of each Track Sheet page.
    Editor The editor name you enter will be shown below the project name in 
    the Track Sheet.
    Heading Allows you to enter a heading (shown centered at the top of each 
    Track Sheet page).
    Do not show 
    end times if
    length is under...If this checkbox is ticked, the Track Sheet will not display the end 
    times of Events shorter than the time specified in the field to the 
    right. This is useful if you have many short events, like spot effects, 
    where only the start time is of any relevance.
    No leading 
    zeroesBy default, the time positions of events will be listed in a syntax with 
    “leading zeroes”. E.g. if the display format is seconds, hours and 
    minutes will be listed as “01”, “02” etc. If this is activated, the time 
    column will not display the leading zeroes.
    Merge events
    if gap is less 
    or equal...If events on a track are lined up end to end – i.e. there is no gap be-
    tween them – they will be considered as a single event in the Track 
    Sheet. By defining a value in this box, you can specify how large a 
    gap between events has to be for them to be considered as sepa-
    rate events. If gaps between events are smaller than or equal to the 
    value you specify, they will be listed as a single event. Otherwise 
    they will be listed as separate events.
    Name Filter This allows you to filter out certain event names of your choice so 
    that they are not displayed in the Track Sheet. Click in the text field 
    and type in the name(s) – to enter several names, separate each 
    with a semi-colon (;). Partial names are OK, so if you e.g. want to fil-
    ter out the event name “Crossfade”, you could just write “Cross”. 
    However, this would filter out other events starting with the word 
    cross as well – e.g. “Crosstalk” would also be filtered out.

    Printing the Track Sheet
    Printing is done using the standard procedures:
    1.Make sure the correct page size and page orientation is selected in 
    the Page Setup dialog on the File menu.
    You may also want to make additional printer settings, following the standard Windows/
    Mac procedures.
    2.Select “Print...“ from the File menu.
    Make the desired printer settings in the dialog that appears, and click OK. The Track 
    Sheet is printed.

    Export Audio Mixdown 
    						
    							NUENDO
    24 – 550 Export Audio Mixdown
    Introduction
    The Export Audio Mixdown function in Nuendo allows you to mix down 
    audio from the program to a file on your hard disk, in a number of for-
    mats. You can choose to mix down one of the following:
    •An output bus.
    For example, if you have set up a stereo mix with tracks routed to a stereo output bus, 
    mixing down that output bus would give you a mixdown file containing the whole mix. 
    Similarly, you can mix down a complete surround bus, either to a single multi-channel 
    file (interleaved) or to one file per surround channel (split).
    •The channel for an audio track.
    This will mix down the channel for the track, complete with insert effects, EQ, etc. This 
    can be useful for turning a number of events into a single file, or if you are using CPU-
    intensive insert effects – by exporting the track and re-importing it into the project you 
    can turn off the insert effect, saving processor power.
    •Any kind of audio channel in the mixer.
    This includes VST Instrument channels, effect return channels (FX Channel tracks), 
    Group channels and ReWire channels. There are many uses for this – for example, you 
    can mix down an effect return track or turn individual ReWire channels into audio files.
    Notes
    •The Export Audio Mixdown function mixes down the area between the 
    left and right locator.
    •When you mix down, you get what you hear – mutes, mixer settings 
    and insert effects are taken into account.
    Note though that you will only include the sound of the bus or channel you select for 
    mixdown.
    •MIDI tracks are not included in the mixdown!
    To make a complete mixdown containing both MIDI and audio, you first need to record 
    all your MIDI music to audio tracks (by connecting the outputs of your MIDI instruments 
    to your audio inputs and recording, as with any other sound source).
    •You can also export selected tracks – this is a different function that 
    doesn’t create an audio mixdown.
    Rather, this is a way to transfer complete tracks (including clips and events) from one 
    project to another. See page 645.
