Adjusting events to picture
Once audio events have been placed to picture, their 
fades, durations and positions can be fine-tuned. 
Nuendo’s nudge features are designed just for this type of 
use. As the nudge buttons are not displayed on the tool
-
bar by default, you have to right-click on the toolbar and 
select “Nudge Palette” from the context menu to access 
them.
Using the nudge buttons you can incrementally adjust the 
position (move) and size (trim) of your events....

5.In the Range Length field in the info line, enter the du-
ration of the cut.
Now the range selection encompasses all the events in the project that 
are to be removed together with the old video. 
The range has been defined for the cut on all tracks.
6.On the Edit menu–Range submenu, select “Cut Time”.
This will remove the selected area and move all the following events to 
the left by the same amount, filling the gap. The audio should now play in 
sync with the new video...

Using standard Nuendo tools for 
postproduction purposes
In this section the Nuendo editing tools related to video 
postproduction techniques are described. 
Inserting audio into the project
The options listed below can be used with video to place 
audio events precisely at the video frame you choose.
Select your audio events in the Pool and use the “Insert

Event envelopes
For even more control, the event envelope provides an-
other type of volume control over the audio event. Instead 
of controlling only fade ins and outs or the overall volume 
of the event, envelopes can alter the volume of audio any
-
where within the event. 
To access the event envelope, select the Pencil tool and 
simply click within any audio event. A volume envelope line 
appears with a new curve point. Unity gain (no change) is 
where the envelope line...

There are also functions that let you alter the range selec-
tion using the cursor, event boundaries, left and right loca-
tors, and the start and end of the project. These functions 
are found in the Edit menu–Select submenu.
When these operations are assigned to key commands, 
the increase in speed and efficiency for creating range se
-
lections can be considerable. The various options of the 
Select submenu are described in detail in the section 
“Range editing” on page...

comes this problem by allowing you to reference another 
point in the audio event. By moving the snap point to the 
end of the skidding sound, Edit Mode can be used to line 
that point with the stopped car on screen.
When adjusting fade handles, the video will follow the po-
sition of the fade handle as you move it, allowing you to 
position fades exactly in time with the video.

Text editing can be useful when conforming audio to edit

ReWire
Introduction
ReWire and ReWire2 are special protocols for streaming 
audio between two computer applications. Developed by 
Propellerhead Software and Steinberg, ReWire provides 
the following possibilities and features:
•Realtime streaming of up to 64 separate audio channels 
(256 with ReWire2), at full bandwidth, from the “synthe
-
sizer application” into the “mixer application”.
In this case, the “mixer application” is of course Nuendo. An example of a 
“synthesizer application” is...
