The Pool
Background
Every time you record on an audio track, a file is created 
on your hard disk. A reference to this file – a clip – is also 
added to the Pool. Two general rules apply to the Pool:
•All audio and video clips that belong to a project are 
listed in the Pool.
•There is a separate Pool for every project.
The way the Pool displays folders and their contents is 
similar to the way the Mac OS X Finder and the Windows 
Explorer display folders and lists of files.
In the Pool you can, among other things, perform the fol-
lowing operations:
Operations that affect files on disk
• Importing clips (audio files can automatically be copied and/or 
converted)
• Converting file formats
• Renaming clips (this will also rename the referenced files on 
disk) and regions
• Deleting clips
• Preparing file archives for backup
• Minimizing files
Operations that only affect clips
• Copying clips
• Auditioning clips
• Organizing clips
• Applying audio processing to clips
• Saving or importing complete Pool files
Opening the Pool
You can open the Pool in any of the following ways:
•By clicking the “Open Pool Window” button on the 
Project window toolbar.
If this icon is not visible, you need to activate the “Media & Mixer Windows” 
option on the toolbar context menu first.
•By selecting “Pool” on the Project menu or “Open Pool 
Window” on the Media menu.
•By using a key command – by default [Ctrl]/[Command]-
[P].
The content of the Pool is divided into the following main 
folders: 
•The Audio folder
This contains all audio clips and regions currently in the project.
•The Clip Packages folder
This contains all imported or created clip packages.
•The Video folder
This contains all video clips currently in the project.
•The Trash folder 
Unused clips can be moved into the Trash folder for later permanent re-moval from the hard disk.
These folders cannot be renamed or deleted from the 
Pool, but any number of subfolders can be added (see 
“Organizing clips and folders” on page 331).

Window overview
Toolbar overview
The info line
Click the “Show Info” button on the toolbar to show or 
hide the info line at the bottom of the Pool window. It 
shows the following information:
• Audio Files – the number of audio files in the Pool
• Used – the number of audio files in use
• Total size – the total size of all audio files in the Pool
• External Files – the number of files in the Pool that do not re-
side in the project folder (e. g. video files)
The Pool window columns
Various information about the clips and regions can be 
viewed in the Pool window columns. The columns contain 
the following information:
About the Status column symbols
The Status column can display various symbols that relate 
to the clips status. The following symbols can be shown:
ColumnDescription
MediaThis column contains the Audio, Video and Trash folders. 
If the folders are opened, the clip or region names are 
shown and can be edited. This column is always shown.
UsedThis column displays the number of times a clip is used in 
the project. If there is no entry in this column, the corre-sponding clip is not used.

StatusThis column displays various icons that relate to the cur-rent Pool and clip status. See “About the Status column symbols” on page 322 for a description of the icons.
Musical  ModeThe checkbox in this column allows you to activate or de-activate Musical Mode. If the Tempo column (see below) 
displays “???”, you have to enter the correct tempo be-fore you can activate Musical Mode.
TempoThis shows the tempo of audio files, if available. If no 
tempo has been specified, the column displays “???”. 
Sign.This is the time signature, e. g. “4/4”.
KeyThis is the root key, if one was specified for the file.
InfoThis column shows the following information for audio 
clips: The sample rate, bit resolution, number of channels 
and the length in seconds. For regions, it displays start 
and end times in frames, and for video clips the frame 
rate, number of frames, and length in seconds.
TypeThis column shows the file format of the clip.
DateThis column shows the date when the audio file was last 
changed.
Origin TimeThis column shows the original start position where a clip 
was recorded in the project. As this value can be used as 
a basis for the “Insert into Project” option in the Media or 
context menu (and other functions), you can change it if 
the Origin Time value is independent (i.
 e. not for regions). 
This can either be done by editing the value in the col-umn, or by selecting the corresponding clip in the Pool, 
moving the project cursor to the new desired position 
and selecting “Update Origin” from the Audio menu.
ImageThis column displays waveform images of audio clips or 
regions. 
PathThis column shows the path to the location of a clip on 
the hard disk.
Reel NameIf you have imported an OMF file (see “Exporting and im-porting OMF files” on page 556), it may include this at-tribute, which is then shown in this column. The Reel 
Name describes the “physical” reel or tape from which 
the media was originally captured.
SymbolDescription
This indicates the current Pool Record folder (see “Changing the Pool Record folder” on page 331).
This symbol is shown if a clip has been processed.
The question mark indicates that a clip is referenced in 
the project but missing from the Pool (see “About missing files” on page 328).
Column Description 
						

							323
The Pool
User Attributes
You can define your own attributes for elements in the 
Pool. This is handy when you have a large number of au
-
dio files in the Pool. You can use the attributes to sort 
items in the Pool or merely keep track of some aspect of 
your project.
Simply select the “Define User Attributes” option from the 
View/Attributes pop-up menu and create as many new at
-
tributes as you need. These attributes will then get their 
own columns in the Pool. Each attribute can be defined as 
checkbox, text field or number. You can then specify the 
user attributes for each file, thus categorizing them further. 
All user attributes you created are automatically available 
as search criteria in the Pool and can be added as sepa
-
rate elements to the search pane (or replace the search 
criteria above the Location parameter, see above). This al
-
lows for a very detailed search, helping you to master even 
the largest sound database.
Sorting the Pool contents
You can sort the clips in the Pool by name, date, etc. This 
is done by clicking on the corresponding column heading. 
Clicking again on the same heading switches between as
-
cending and descending sort order.
Customizing the view
•You can specify which of the columns are shown or hid-
den by opening the View/Attributes pop-up menu on the 
toolbar and selecting/deselecting items.
•You can rearrange the order of the columns by clicking 
on a column heading and dragging the column to the left 
or right.
The mouse pointer changes to a hand when you place it on the column 
heading.
•The width of a column can also be adjusted by placing 
the pointer between two column headers and dragging 
left or right.
The pointer changes to a divider when you place it between two column 
headers.
This indicates that the clip file is external, i. e. located out-side the current Audio folder for the project.
This indicates that the clip has been recorded in the cur-rently open version of the project. This is useful for finding 
recently recorded clips quickly.
Symbol Description
The arrow indicates the sort 
column and sort order.

The Pool
Operations
ÖMost of the Pool-related main menu functions are also 
available on the Pool context menu (opened by right-click
-
ing in the Pool window).
Renaming clips or regions in the Pool
To rename a clip or a region in the Pool, select it and click 
on the existing name, type in a new name and press 
[Return].
ÖThis will also rename the referenced files on disk!
Renaming multiple clips or regions
You can also rename multiple clips or regions in the Pool 
using the “Rename…” command from the Edit menu.
1.Select one or more audio clips, video clips, or regions 
in the Pool. 
You can only select one type of object at a time.
2.From the Edit menu, select “Rename…”.
A dialog with several options for renaming objects automatically will open.
3.Set the parameters for renaming objects and press 
[Return].
Setting parameters of the Rename Object dialog
The Rename Object dialog provides a great deal of flexi-
bility and options when renaming multiple objects in Nu-
endo. In addition to simple prefix, suffix, and incremental 
numeric additions to names, you can remove certain char
-
acters, include timestamp information and more.
Each of the eight fields found in the left section of the Re-
name Objects dialog can be used to add an element to 
the name generated for each object. 
The first line will create text or numbers at the left of the 
new name. The eighth and last line will create text or num
-
bers at the very right of the new name.
Each of the eight lines can add one of the following ele-
ments including a prefix and suffix for each item (You can 
use a prefix to create a space separating items in the gen
-
erated name.):
!Renaming a clip in the Pool is much preferred to re-
naming it outside Nuendo (for example on the com-
puter desktop). This way, Nuendo already “knows” 
about the change, and will not lose track of the clip 
the next time you open the project. See 
“A b o u t  m i s s-
ing files” on page 328 for details about lost files.
OptionDescription
Free TextAny text you would like to include in the name.
Original NameThe original name given to the object. There are options 
to remove all numbers or non-alpha numerics or just the 
ones on the left or right sides.
NumberAn increasing or decreasing number starting with a mini-mum amount of digits and a starting number (i. e. 001, 
002 etc.).
Project TimeThe current location of the clip in the project window us-ing any of the seven ruler formats (Bars+Beats, Time-code, etc.).
DateThe date that the file was created in several formats.
File ExtensionThe file type.
Audio BitsizeThe bit depth of the audio file.

The Pool
An example of the result is displayed in the bottom of the 
window for reference. All of these parameters can be 
saved as a preset as well.
Duplicating clips in the Pool
To duplicate a clip, proceed as follows:
1.Select the clip you wish to copy.
2.Select “New Version” on the Media menu.
A new version of the clip appears in the same Pool folder, with the same 
name but with a “version number” after it, to indicate that the new clip is 
a duplicate. The first copy made of a clip will get the version number “2” 
and so on. Regions within a clip are copied too, but keep their name.
 
Inserting clips into a project
To insert a clip into a project, you can either use the Insert 
commands on the Media menu or use drag and drop.
Using menu commands
Proceed as follows:
1.Select the clip(s) you want to insert into the project.
2.Pull down the Media menu and select an “Insert into 
Project” option.
“At Cursor” will insert the clip(s) at the current project cursor position.  
“At Origin” will insert the clip(s) at their Origin Time position(s).
•Note that the clip will be positioned so that its snap 
point is aligned with the selected insert position.
You can also open the Sample Editor for a clip by double-clicking it, and 
perform the insert operation from there. This way you can set the snap 
point before inserting a clip.
3.The clip is inserted on the selected track or on a new 
audio track.
If several tracks are selected, the clip will be inserted on the first selected 
track.
Using drag and drop
When using drag and drop to insert clips into the Project 
window, please note the following:
•Snap is taken into account if activated.
•While you drag the clip in the Project window, its posi-
tion is indicated by a marker line and a numerical position 
box.
Note that these indicate the position of the snap point in the clip. For ex-
ample, if you drop the clip at the position 10.00, this will be where the 
snap point ends up. See 
“Adjusting the snap point” on page 288 for in-formation on how to set the snap point.
•If you position the clip in an empty area in the event dis-
play (i. e. below existing tracks), a new track is created for 
the inserted event.
Deleting clips
Removing clips from the Pool
To remove a clip from the Pool without deleting it from the 
hard disk, proceed as follows:
1.Select the clip(s) and select “Delete” from the Edit 
menu (or press [Backspace] or [Delete]).
A prompt asks whether you want to move the clip to the Trash or remove 
it from the Pool.
•If you try to delete a clip that is used by one or more 
events, the program will ask you whether to remove these 
events from the project.
If you cancel, neither the clip nor the associated events are deleted.
2.In the window that opens, select “Remove from Pool”.
The clip is no longer associated with the project, but still exists on the hard 
disk and can be used in other projects, etc. This operation can be undone.
Sample rateThe sample rate of the audio file.
Audio TempoThe audio tempo for that clip if it has been assigned.
User AttributeAny one of the custom attributes created in the Setup User 
Attributes dialog (see “User Attributes” on page 323).
!Duplicating a clip does not create a new file on disk, 
but a new edit version of the clip (referring to the 
same audio file).

The Pool
Deleting from the hard disk
To delete a file permanently from the hard disk, it must first 
be moved to the Trash folder:
1.Follow the instructions for deleting clips above, but 
click the Trash button instead of the Remove from Pool 
button.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop clips into the Trash folder.
2.On the Media menu, select “Empty Trash”.
A warning message is displayed.
3.Click “Erase” to delete the file on the hard disk perma-
nently.
This operation cannot be undone!
ÖTo retrieve a clip or region from the Trash folder, drag 
it back into an Audio or Video folder.
Removing unused clips
This function finds all clips in the Pool that are not used in 
the project. You can then decide whether to move them to 
the Trash folder (from where they can be permanently de
-
leted) or to remove them from the Pool:
1.Select “Remove Unused Media” on the Media or con-
text menu.
A message appears asking you whether you want to move the file to the 
Trash or to remove it from the Pool.
2.Make your selection.
Removing regions
To remove a region from the Pool, select it and select “De-
lete” from the Edit menu (or press [Backspace] or [Delete]). 
ÖFor regions there is no alert if the region is used in the 
project!
Locating events and clips
Locating events via clips in the Pool
If you want to find out which events in the project refer to a 
particular clip in the Pool, proceed as follows:
1.Select one or more clips in the Pool.
2.Select “Select in Project” on the Media menu.
All events that refer to the selected clip(s) are now selected in the 
Project window.
Locating clips via events in the Project window
If you want to find out which clip belongs to a particular 
event in the Project window, proceed as follows:
1.Select one or more events in the Project window.
2.Pull down the Audio menu and select “Find Selected 
in Pool”.
The corresponding clip(s) are located and highlighted in the Pool.
Searching for audio files
The search functions can help you locate audio files in the 
Pool, on your hard disk or on other media. This works much 
like the regular file search, but with a couple of extra fea
-
tures:
1.Click the Search button on the toolbar.
A search pane appears at the bottom of the window, displaying the 
search functions.
By default, the search parameters available in the search 
pane are “Name” and “Location”. For using other filter cri
-
teria, see “Extended Search functionality” on page 327.
2.Specify the name of the file(s) to search for in the 
Name field.
You can use partial names or wildcards (*). Note that only audio files of 
the supported formats will be found.
3.Use the Location pop-up menu to specify where to 
search.
The pop-up menu will list all your local drives and removable media. 
!Before you permanently delete audio files from the 
hard disk, make sure that they are not used by an
-
other project! 
						

							327
The Pool
•If you want to limit the search to certain folders, choose 
“Select Search Path” and select the desired folder in the 
dialog that opens.
The search will include the selected folder and all subfolders. Note also 
that folders you have recently selected using the “Select Search Path” 
function will appear on the pop-up menu, allowing you to quickly select 
them again.
4.Click the Search button.
The search is started and the Search button is labeled Stop – click this 
to cancel the search if needed.
When the search is finished, the files found are listed to 
the right.
•To audition a file, select it in the list and use the play-
back controls to the left (Play, Stop, Pause, and Loop).
If Auto Play is activated, selected files are automatically played back.
•To import a file into the Pool, double-click on it in the list 
or select it and click the Import button.
5.To close the search pane, click the Search button on 
the toolbar again.
Extended Search functionality
Apart from the search criterion Name, additional search fil-
ters and user attributes are available. The Extended Search 
options allows for a very detailed search, helping you to 
master even the largest sound database.
To use them, proceed as follows:
1.Set up a couple of user attributes using the “View/
Attributes” pop-up menu.
2.Click the Search button on the toolbar.
The Search pane is displayed in the lower part of the Pool window.
3.Move the mouse pointer over the “Name” text to the 
right of the name field and click on the arrow that appears.
4.The extended search pop-up menu opens.
It contains six options determining which search criterion is displayed 
above the Location field (Name, Size, Bitsize, Channels, Sample Rate or 
Date). It also contains all the user attributes you specified, as well as the 
Add Filter and Presets submenus.
The search criteria have the following parameters:
• Name: partial names or wildcards (*)
• Size: Less than, More than, Equal, Between (two values), in 
seconds, minutes, hours and bytes
• Bitsize (resolution): 8, 16, 24, 32
• Channels: Mono, Stereo and from 3 to 16
• Sample Rate: various values, choose “Other” for free setting
• Date: various search ranges
5.Select one of the search criteria in the pop-up menu to 
change the search option above the Location pop-up 
menu.
6.If you want to display more search options, select the 
desired element from the “Add filter” submenu.
This allows you, for example, to add the Size or the Sample Rate parame-
ters to the already displayed Name and Location parameters.
Move the mouse pointer over 
the “Name” text to the right of 
the name field and click…
…to show the extended search pop-up menu. 
						

							328
The Pool
•You can save presets of your search filter settings. To 
do this, click Save Preset on the Presets submenu and 
enter a name for the preset.
Existing presets can be found at the bottom of the list. To remove a 
preset, click on the preset to activate it, then select Remove Preset.
The Find Media window
Alternatively to the search pane in the Pool, you can open a 
stand-alone Find Media window by selecting the “Search 
Media…” option from the Media or context menu (also 
available from the Project window). This offers the same 
functionality as the search pane. 
•To insert a clip or region directly into the project from 
the Find Media window, select it in the list and choose one 
of the “Insert into Project” options from the Media menu.
The options are described in the section “Inserting clips into a project” on page 325.
•It is also possible to further refine the search options by 
including your user attributes in the search criteria. 
When user attributes have been defined, these will appear on the pop-
up menu (see above).
About missing files
When you open a project, the Resolve Missing Files dia-
log (see below) may open, warning you that one or more 
files are “missing”. If you click Close, the project will open 
anyway, without the missing files. In the Pool, you can 
check which files are considered missing. This is indi
-
cated by a question mark in the Status column.
A file is considered missing under one of the following 
conditions:
•The file has been moved or renamed outside the pro-
gram since the last time you worked with the project, and 
you ignored the Resolve Missing Files dialog when you 
opened the project for the current session.
•You have moved or renamed the file outside the pro-
gram during the current session.
•You have moved or renamed the folder in which the 
missing files are located.
Locate missing files
1.Select “Find Missing Files…” from the Media or con-
text menu.
The Resolve Missing Files dialog opens. 
2.Decide if you want the program to try to find the file for 
you (Search), if you want to do it yourself (Locate) or if you 
want to specify in which directory the program will search 
for the file (Folder).
•If you select Locate, a file dialog opens, allowing you to 
locate the file manually.
Select the file and click “Open”.
•If you select Folder, a dialog opens to let you specify the 
directory in which the missing file can be found.
This might be the preferred method if you have renamed or moved the 
folder containing the missing file, but the file still has the same name. Once 
you select the correct folder, the program finds the file and you can close 
the dialog.
•If you select Search, a dialog opens to let you specify 
which folder or disk will be scanned by the program. 
Click the Search Folder button, select a directory or a disk and click the 
Start button. If found, select the file from the list and click “Accept”. 
Afterwards Nuendo tries to map all other missing files automatically.
Reconstructing missing edit files
If a missing file cannot be found (e. g. if you have acciden-
tally deleted it from the hard disk), it will normally be indi-
cated with a question mark in the Status column in the 
Pool. However, if the missing file is an edit file (a file cre
-
ated when you process audio, stored in the Edits folder 
within the project folder), it may be possible for the pro
-
gram to reconstruct it by recreating the editing to the orig-
inal audio file. 
						

							329
The Pool
Proceed as follows:
1.Open the Pool and locate the clip(s) for which files are 
missing.
2.Check the Status column – if it says “Reconstructible”, 
the file can be reconstructed by Nuendo.
3.Select the reconstructible clips and select “Recon-
struct” from the Media menu.
The editing is performed and the edit files are recreated.
Removing missing files from the Pool
If the Pool contains audio files that cannot be found or re-
constructed, you may want to remove these. For this, select 
“Remove Missing Files” from the Media or context menu. 
This will remove all missing files from the Pool as well as the 
corresponding events from the Project window.
Auditioning clips in the Pool
There are three ways to audition clips in the Pool:
•By using key commands.
If you activate the “Playback Toggle triggers Local Preview” option in the 
Preferences dialog (Transport page), you can use [Space] to audition. 
This is the same as clicking the Audition icon on the toolbar.
•By selecting a clip and activating the Audition button.
The whole clip will play back, unless you stop playback by clicking the 
Audition button again.
•By clicking somewhere in the waveform image for a clip.
The clip will play from the position in the waveform you click until the end 
of the clip, unless you stop playback by clicking the Audition button, or 
by clicking anywhere else in the Pool window.
The audio is routed directly to the Control Room, if acti-
vated. When the Control Room is deactivated, the audio is 
routed to the Main Mix (the default output) bus, bypassing 
the audio channel’s settings, effects and EQs. 
ÖYou can adjust the auditioning level with the miniature 
level fader on the toolbar. This does not affect the regular 
playback level.
If you have activated the Audition Loop button before you 
audition, the following will happen:
•When you click the Audition button to audition a clip, 
the clip is repeated indefinitely until you stop playback by 
clicking the Audition or Audition Loop button again.
•When you click in the waveform image to audition, the 
section from the point you clicked to the end of the clip is 
repeated indefinitely until you stop playback.
Opening clips in the Sample Editor
The Sample Editor allows you to perform detailed editing 
on the clip (see 
“The Sample Editor” on page 282). You 
can open clips in the Sample Editor directly from the Pool 
in the following ways:
•If you double-click a clip waveform icon or a clip name 
in the Media column, the clip opens in the Sample Editor.
•If you double-click a region in the Pool, its clip opens in 
the Sample Editor with the region selected.
One practical use for this is to set a snap point for a clip 
(see 
“Adjusting the snap point” on page 288). When you 
later insert the clip from the Pool into the project, you can 
have it be properly aligned according to the set snap 
point.
About the Import Medium dialog
The Import Medium dialog lets you import files directly into 
the Pool. It is opened from the Media or context menu or 
using the Import button in the Pool window.
This is a standard file dialog, where you can navigate to 
other folders, audition files, etc. The following audio file 
formats can be imported:
• Wave (Normal or Broadcast, see “Broadcast Wave files” on 
page 479)
• AIFF and AIFC (Compressed AIFF)
•REX or REX 2 (see “Importing ReCycle files” on page 554)
• Dolby Digital AC3 file (ac3 – if you have the Steinberg Dolby 
Digital Encoder installed in your system)
• DTS file (dts – if you have the Steinberg DTS Encoder in-
stalled in your system)
• SD2 (Sound Designer II) 
• MPEG Layer 2 and Layer 3 (MP2 and MP3 files – see “Im-
porting compressed audio files” on page 555)
• Ogg Vorbis (OGG files – see “Importing compressed audio 
files” on page 555)
• Windows Media Audio (Windows – see “Importing com-
pressed audio files” on page 555)
• Wave 64 (W64 files) 
						

							330
The Pool
They may have the following characteristics:
• Stereo or mono
• Any sample rate (although files with another sample rate than 
the one used in the project will play back at the wrong speed 
and pitch – see below).
• 8, 16, 24 bit or 32 bit float resolution.
Various video formats can be imported. For information 
about the supported video formats, see 
“Video file com-
patibility” on page 521.
ÖIt is also possible to use the commands on the Import 
submenu of the File menu to import audio or video files 
into the Pool.
When you select a file in the Import Medium dialog and 
click Open, the Import Options dialog opens.
It contains the following options:
•Copy File to Working Directory
Activate this if you want a copy of the file to be made in the Audio folder 
of the project, and have the clip refer to this copy. If the option is off, the 
clip will refer to the original file in the original location (and will thus be 
marked as “external” in the Pool – see 
“About the Status column sym-
bols” on page 322).
•Convert to Project section
Here you can choose to convert the sample rate (if the sample rate is dif-
ferent than the one set for the project) or the sample size, i. e. resolution 
(if the sample size is lower than the record format used in the project). 
The options are only available if necessary. Note that if you are importing 
several audio files at once, the Import Options dialog will instead contain 
a “Convert and Copy to Project if needed” checkbox. When this is acti
-
vated, the imported files will be converted only if the sample rate is differ-
ent or the sample size is lower than the project’s.
•Split channels/Split multi-channel files
If this is activated, stereo and multi-channel files are split into a correspon-
ding number of mono files – one for each channel – and these will be im-ported into the Pool. Note that if you use this option, the imported files will 
always be copied to the Audio folder of the project, as described above.
•Please, don’t ask again
If this is activated, files will always be imported according to the settings 
you have made, without this dialog appearing. This can be reset in the 
Preferences dialog (Editing–Audio page). 
ÖYou can always convert files later by using the Convert 
Files (see 
“Convert Files” on page 332) or Conform Files 
(see “Conform Files” on page 333) options.
About the Import Audio CD dialog
You can import tracks (or sections of tracks) from an au-
dio CD directly into the Pool by using the “Import Audio 
CD…” function on the Media menu. This opens a dialog in 
which you can specify which tracks are copied from the 
CD, converted to audio files and added to the Pool.
For details about the Import from Audio CD dialog, see 
“Importing audio CD tracks” on page 553.
Exporting regions as audio files
If you have created regions within an audio clip (see “Work-
ing with regions” on page 291), these can be exported as 
separate audio files. To create a new audio file from a re-
