21 Menu Reference Play from Selection Start/End This activates playback from the beginning or end of the current selection. Play until Selection Start/End This activates playback two seconds before the start or end of the current selection and stops at the selection start or end, respectively. Play until Next Marker This will activate playback from the current project cursor position to the next marker and stop. Play Selection Range This will play back the current selection range and stop at the end. Loop Selection This will loop playback of the current selection range. Use PreRoll When this is activated and you start playback or record- ing, Nuendo will “roll back” a bit before starting. Use PostRoll When this is activated, Nuendo will play back a short sec- tion after automatic punch-out. Edit Mode Activates Edit Mode, which is useful if you work with audio and video in conjunction. Video playback in Nuendo fol- lows the transport, meaning that if you play or use fast for- ward/rewind, the video will follow. In Edit Mode, the project cursor will follow if you perform editing on the au- dio (moving, resizing etc.). This means you can edit the au- dio while getting visual feedback on the video display. Start Record at Left Locator If this is activated, the project cursor will jump to the left locator position and begin recording when you hit the Record button. If this is off (unticked), recording will start directly from the current project cursor position. Metronome Setup… Opens the Metronome Setup dialog where you can make various metronome settings. Metronome On Activates the metronome. Precount On Activates precount – a count-in that will be heard when you start recording from stop mode and the metronome is activated. This can also be activated on the Transport panel. You can specify the number of precount bars in the Metronome Setup dialog. Project Synchronization Setup… Opens a dialog where settings relating to synchronization can be made. Use External Sync Activates synchronization. Retrospective Record Performs retrospective MIDI recording. If the Retrospec- tive Record function is enabled in the Preferences (Record–MIDI page), and a MIDI track is record enabled, any MIDI notes you play in stop mode or during playback are captured in buffer memory. If you then select Retro- spective Record, the MIDI notes you played – i.e. the con- tents of the buffer memory – are turned into a MIDI part on the record enabled MIDI track. The MIDI part will appear where the cursor was when you started playing.
