The Project window
The track list
The track list displays all the tracks used in a project. It con-
tains name fields and settings for the tracks. Different track 
types have different controls in the track list. To see all the 
controls you may have to resize the track in the track list 
(see 
“Resizing tracks in the track list” on page 59).
•The track list area for an audio track:
•The track list area for an automation track (opened by 
clicking the Show/Hide Automation button on a track):
•The track list area for a MIDI track:
•You can decide for each track type which controls are 
shown in the track list – see 
“Customizing track controls” 
on page 573.
The Inspector
The area to the left of the track list is called the Inspector. 
This shows additional controls and parameters for the 
track you have selected in the track list. If several tracks 
are selected, the Inspector shows the setting for the first 
(topmost) selected track.
Opening the Inspector
To show the Inspector, proceed as follows:
1.On the toolbar, click the “Set up Window Layout” 
button.
A transparent pane appears, covering the Project window.
2.In the gray area in the middle, activate the Inspector 
option.

Inspector handling
For most track classes, the Inspector is divided into a 
number of sections, each containing different controls for 
the track. Which sections are available in the Inspector 
depends on the selected track.
•You can hide or show sections by clicking on their 
names. 
Clicking the name for a hidden section brings it into view and hides the 
other sections. [Ctrl]/[Command]-clicking the section name allows you 
to hide or show a section without affecting the other sections. [Alt]/[Op
-
tion]-clicking a section name shows or hides all sections in the Inspector.
•You can also use key commands to show different In-
spector sections.
These are set up in the Key Commands dialog, see “Setting up key com-
mands” on page 581.
ÖHiding a section does not affect its functionality. For 
example, if you have set up a track parameter or activated 
an effect, your settings will still be active even if you hide 
the respective Inspector section.
Not all Inspector tabs are shown by default. You can 
show/hide Inspector sections by right-clicking on an In
-
spector tab and activating/deactivating the desired op-
tions on the Inspector Setup context menu.
ÖMake sure that you right-click on an Inspector tab and 
not on the empty area below the Inspector, as this will 
open the Quick context menu instead.
Inspector sections
The Inspector contains the controls that can be found on 
the track list, plus some additional buttons and parame
-
ters. In the table below, these additional settings and the 
different sections are listed. Which sections are available 
for which track type is described in the following sections.
ParameterDescription
Auto Fades 
Settings 
buttonOpens a dialog in which you can make separate Auto 
Fade settings for the audio track, see “Making Auto Fade settings for individual tracks” on page 121.
Edit Channel 
SettingsOpens the Channel Settings window for the track, allow-ing you to view and adjust effect and EQ settings, etc., 
see “Using Channel Settings” on page 163.
VolumeUse this to adjust the level for the track. Changing this 
setting will move the track’s fader in the Mixer window, 
and vice versa. See 
“Setting volume in the Mixer” on page 157 to learn more about setting levels.
PanUse this to adjust the panning of the track. As with the 
Volume setting, this corresponds to the Pan setting in the 
Mixer.
DelayThis adjusts the playback timing of the audio track. Positive 
values delay the playback while negative values cause the 
track to play earlier. The values are set in milliseconds.
Input  RoutingThis lets you specify the input bus or MIDI input for the 
track. See “Setting up busses” on page 28 for informa-tion about input busses.
Output 
RoutingHere you decide to which output the track is routed. For 
audio tracks you select an output bus (see “Setting up busses” on page 28) or Group channel, for MIDI tracks you select a MIDI output and for instrument tracks, you 
select the instrument to which it is routed. 
						

							43
The Project window
Audio tracks
For audio tracks, all settings and sections listed above are 
available.
Instrument tracks
As explained in the chapter “VST instruments and instru-
ment tracks” on page 215, the Inspector for an instrument 
track shows some of the sections from VST instrument 
channels and MIDI tracks.
MIDI tracks
When a MIDI track is selected, the Inspector contains a 
number of additional sections and parameters, affecting the 
MIDI events in realtime (e.
 g. on playback). Which sections 
are available for MIDI tracks is described in the chapter 
“MIDI realtime parameters and effects” on page 372.
Arranger track
For the arranger track, the Inspector displays the lists of 
available arranger chains and arranger events. See the 
chapter 
“The arranger track” on page 122 for details.
Folder tracks
When a folder track is selected, the Inspector shows the 
folder and its underlying tracks, much like a folder struc
-
ture in the Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder.
ÖYou can click one of the tracks shown under the folder 
in the Inspector to have the Inspector show the settings 
for that track. This way, you do not have to “open” a folder 
track to make settings for tracks within it.
FX channel tracks
When an FX channel track is selected, the following con-
trols and sections are available:
• Edit button
• Volume control
•Pan control
• Output Routing pop-up menu
• Inserts section
• Equalizers section
• Equalizer Curve section
• Sends section
• Studio Sends section
• Surround Pan section
• Channel section
• Notepad section
Inserts sectionAllows you to add insert effects to the track, see the chap-ters “Audio effects” on page 195 and “MIDI realtime pa-rameters and effects” on page 372. The Edit button at the top of the section opens the control panels for the added 
insert effects.
Equalizers 
sectionLets you adjust the EQs for the track. You can have up to 
four bands of EQ for each track, see “Making EQ set-tings” on page 164. The Edit button at the top of the sec-tion opens the Channel Settings window for the track. 
Equalizer  Curve sectionLets you adjust the EQs for the track graphically, by click-ing and dragging points in a curve display.
Sends sectionAllows you to route an audio track to one or several FX 
channels (up to eight), see the chapter “Audio effects” on page 195. The Edit button above a slot opens the control panel for the first effect in each FX channel.  For MIDI tracks, this is where you assign MIDI send ef-fects. Clicking the Edit button above a slot opens the 
control panel for the corresponding MIDI effect.
Studio Sends The Studio Sends are used to route cue mixes to Control 
Room Studios. For a detailed description of Studios and 
Studio Sends, see the chapter 
“Control Room” on page 179.
Surround PanWhen the SurroundPanner is used for a track, this is also 
available in the Inspector. For further information, see 
“Using the SurroundPanner V5” on page 230.
Channel 
sectionShows a duplicate of the corresponding Mixer channel 
strip. The channel overview strip to the left lets you acti-vate and deactivate insert effects, EQs and sends.
Notepad 
sectionThis is a standard text notepad, allowing you to jot down 
notes about the track.  If you have entered any notes about a track, the icon next 
to the “Notepad” heading will light up to indicate this. 
Moving the pointer over the icon will display the Notepad 
text in a tooltip.
Network sec-tionThis contains controls related to the Network functions of 
the program. For further information, see the chapter 
“Networking” on page 482.
User PanelHere you can display device panels, e. g. for external MIDI 
devices, audio track panels or VST insert effect panels. 
For information on how to create or import MIDI device 
and user panels, see the separate PDF document “MIDI 
Devices”.
Quick ControlsHere you can configure quick controls, e. g. to use remote 
devices, see the chapter “Track Quick Controls” on page 362.
Parameter Description 
						

							44
The Project window
FX channel tracks are automatically placed in a special 
folder, for easier management. When this folder track is 
selected, the Inspector shows the folder and the FX chan
-
nels it contains. You can click one of the FX channels 
shown in the folder to have the Inspector show the set
-
tings for that FX channel – this way you do not have to 
“open” a folder track to access the settings for the FX 
channels in it.
Group channel tracks
When a group channel track is selected, the following 
controls and sections are available:
• Edit button
• Volume control
• Pan control
• Output Routing pop-up menu
• Inserts section
• Equalizers section
• Equalizer Curve section
• Sends section
• Studio Sends section
• Surround Pan section
• Channel section
•Notepad section
Just like FX channel tracks, all group channel tracks are 
placed in a separate folder – when this is selected, the In
-
spector shows the folder and the group channels it con-
tains. You can click one of the group channels shown in the 
folder to have the Inspector show the settings for that group 
channel – this way, you do not have to “open” a folder track 
to access the settings for the group channels in it.
Marker tracks
When the marker track is selected, the Inspector shows 
the marker list. For more information, see the chapter 
“Us-
ing markers” on page 136.
Ruler tracks 
For ruler tracks, the Inspector is not used.
Transpose track
When the transpose track is selected, the following con-
trols and sections are available:
• Mute button
• Keep Transpose in Octave range
• Toggle Timebase button
• Lock button
• Notepad section
•Network section
The transpose track controls are described in detail in the 
chapter 
“The transpose functions” on page 129.
Signature track and tempo track
For the signature track and the tempo track, the Inspector 
displays a list of all time signature events or tempo events. 
See the chapter 
“Editing tempo and signature” on page 
452 for details.
Video tracks
When a video track is selected, the Inspector contains a 
lock button for locking the track (see the section 
“Locking 
events” on page 74), a Mute button for interrupting video 
playback and two settings for video thumbnails: Show 
Frame Numbers and Show Thumbnails (see the section 
“Video files in the Project window” on page 524).
Video tracks make use of the Notepad and Network In-
spector tabs.
The toolbar
The toolbar contains tools and shortcuts for opening other 
windows and various project settings and functions.
You can show/hide most of the toolbar elements (except 
the Activate Project and “Set up Window Layout” buttons) 
by activating/deactivating the corresponding options on 
the context menu. The following options are available:

Option Description
OptionDescription
Record Time MaxThis displays the time you have left for recording, 
depending on your project settings and the avail-able hard disk space. Click in this field to display 
the remaining record time in a separate window.
Record FormatThis displays the sample rate and the bit resolution 
used for recording.
Project Frame RateThis displays the frame rate used in the project.
Project Audio PullThis displays the audio pull setting used in the 
project. For further information about audio pulls, 
see 
“The Project Setup dialog” on page 57.
Project Pan LawThis displays the current Pan Law setting.
!Nuendo permits different sample rate settings for a 
project and the audio hardware. However, as a result 
the audio files in a project will not play back in their 
original pitch. If the “Record Format” field is high
-
lighted in a different color, there is a sample rate 
mismatch and you should check the settings in the 
Project Setup dialog. The same applies to the 
Project Audio Pull field. 
						

							46
The Project window
The following elements can be selected for display and 
editing on the info line:
• Audio events
•Audio parts
•MIDI parts
• Video events
•Markers
• Automation curve points
• Transpose events
• Arranger events
When several elements are selected
•If you have selected several elements, the info line shows 
information about the first item in the selection. The values 
are displayed in color to indicate that several elements are 
selected.
•If you edit a value on the info line, the value change is 
applied to all selected elements, relatively to the current 
values.
If you have selected two audio events, the first being one bar long and the 
second two bars, the info line shows the length of the first event (one bar). 
If you now change this value to 3 bars in the info line, the other event will be 
resized by the same amount – and will thus be 4 bars long.
•To enter absolute values for the selected elements, 
press [Ctrl]/[Command] while modifying the value on the 
info line. In the example above, both events would be re
-
sized to 3 bars. 
[Ctrl]/[Command] is the default modifier key for this – you can change 
this in the Preferences dialog (Editing–Tool Modifiers page, in the Info 
Line category).
Editing transpose and velocity for MIDI parts
When one or several MIDI parts are selected, the info line 
contains Transpose and Velocity fields.
•Adjusting the Transpose field transposes the selected 
parts in semitone steps.
Note that this transposition does not change the actual notes in the part 
– it is just a “play parameter”, affecting the notes on playback. The trans
-
position you specify for a part on the info line is added to the transposi-tion set for the whole track. For more information on transposing, see the 
chapter 
“The transpose functions” on page 129.
•Adjusting the Velocity field shifts the velocity for the se-
lected parts – the value you specify is added to the veloc-
ities of the notes in the parts.
Again, this velocity shift only affects the notes on playback, and again, 
the value you specify is added to the Vel.Shift. value set for the whole 
MIDI track in the Inspector.
The overview line
The overview line is displayed below the info line in the 
Project window. In the overview line, events and parts on 
all tracks are displayed as boxes.
•To show/hide the overview line, proceed as for the info 
line (see above), but activate the Overview Line option in
-
stead.
You can use the overview line to zoom in or out, and for 
navigating to other sections of the project. This is done by 
moving and resizing the track view rectangle in the over
-
view line:
•The track view rectangle indicates the section of the 
project currently displayed in the event display.
•You zoom in or out horizontally by resizing the rectangle.
Resize it by dragging the edges of the rectangle.
•You can drag the track view rectangle to view other 
sections of the project.
This can also be done by clicking anywhere in the upper part of the over-
view – the track view rectangle will be moved to where you clicked. 
						

							47
The Project window
The ruler
The ruler at the top of shows the timeline. Initially, the 
Project window ruler uses the display format specified in 
the Project Setup dialog (see 
“The Project Setup dialog” 
on page 57), as do all other rulers and position displays in 
the project. However, you can select an independent dis-
play format for the ruler by clicking the arrow button to the 
right of it and selecting an option from the pop-up menu 
(you can also bring up this pop-up menu by right-clicking 
anywhere in the ruler).
•The selection you make here affects the ruler, the info 
line and tooltip position values (which appear when you 
drag an event in the Project window).
You can also select independent formats for other rulers and position 
displays. 
•To set the display format globally (for all windows), use 
the primary display format pop-up on the Transport panel, 
or hold down [Ctrl]/[Command] and select a display for
-
mat in any ruler.
•If you use the “Timecode” or “User” options and the 
“Show Timecode Subframes” option is activated in the 
Preferences dialog (Transport page), the frames will also 
display subframes.
There are 80 subframes per frame.
•For the “Feet+Frames” settings, there is an option in the 
Preferences dialog (Transport page) called 
“Feet’n’Frames Count from Project Start”.
When this is activated, time displays and rulers in Feet+Frames format 
will always start with 0’00 at the beginning of the project – regardless of 
any Start offset settings in the Project Setup dialog.
Using multiple rulers – ruler tracks
As described above, the Nuendo Project window contains 
a main ruler at the top of the event display, displaying the 
timeline from left to right.
If needed, you can have several rulers in the Project win-
dow, by adding ruler tracks to the project. Each ruler track 
contains an additional ruler.
•To add a ruler track, open the “Add Track” submenu 
from the Project menu and select “Ruler”.
A ruler track showing an additional ruler is added to the track list.
You can add any number of ruler tracks to a project, and 
position them as needed by dragging them up or down in 
the track list. Each of the rulers can show a separate dis
-
play format.
•To select a display format for a ruler track, click on its 
name in the track list and select an option from the pop-up 
menu.
OptionPositions and lengths displayed as
Bars+BeatsBars, beats, sixteenth notes and ticks. By default there 
are 120 ticks per sixteenth note but you can adjust this 
with the “MIDI Display Resolution” setting in the Prefer
-ences dialog (MIDI page).
SecondsHours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds.
TimecodeThis format displays hours, minutes, seconds, and 
frames. The number of frames per second (fps) is set in 
the Project Setup dialog with the Frame Rate pop-up 
menu (see 
“The Project Setup dialog” on page 57).
Feet+Frames 
16 mmFeet and frames, with 40 frames per foot.
Feet+Frames 
35 mmFeet, frames and 1/4 frames, with 16 frames per foot.
SamplesSamples.
fps (User)Hours, minutes, seconds and frames, with a user-defin-able number of frames per second. You set the desired 
number of fps in the Preferences dialog (Transport page).
Time LinearWhen this is selected, the ruler will be linear relative to 
time. This means that if there are tempo changes on the 
tempo track, the distance between the bars will vary in 
Bars+Beats mode.
Bars+Beats 
LinearWhen this is selected, the ruler will be linear relative to 
the meter position – bars and beats. This means that if 
there are tempo changes on the tempo track, there still 
will be the same distance between bars in Bars+Beats 
mode. If the ruler is set to a time-based mode, the dis
-tance between seconds will vary depending on the 
tempo changes. 
						

							48
The Project window
Note that ruler tracks are completely independent from the 
main event display ruler, as well as rulers and position dis
-
plays in other windows. This means that:
• Each ruler track in a project can have its own display format.
• Ruler tracks are not affected by the display format setting in 
the Project Setup dialog (see 
“The Project Setup dialog” on 
page 57).
• Ruler tracks are not affected if you set the display format glo-
bally with the primary time display in the Transport panel.
ÖRuler tracks are affected by the “Show Timecode 
Subframes” option in the Preferences dialog (Transport 
page, see above).
The Snap function
The Snap function helps you to find exact positions when 
editing in the Project window. It does this by restricting 
horizontal movement and positioning to certain positions. 
Operations affected by Snap include moving, copying, 
drawing, sizing, splitting, range selection, etc.
•You turn Snap on or off by clicking the Snap icon on the 
toolbar.
When you are moving audio events with Snap activated, it 
is not necessarily the beginning of the event that is used 
as Snap position reference. Instead, each audio event has 
a snap point, which you can set to a relevant position in 
the audio (such as a downbeat, etc.).
The snap point is preferably set in the Sample Editor since 
it allows for a higher degree of precision (see 
“Adjusting 
the snap point” on page 288). You can however also set 
the snap point directly in the Project window, in the follow-
ing way:
1.Select an event.
2.Place the project cursor at the desired position within 
the selected audio event.
3.Pull down the Audio menu and select “Snap Point To 
Cursor”.
The snap point is set at the cursor position.
The snap point for an event is displayed as a blue line in the Project 
window.
The Snap Type pop-up menu
To determine how the Snap function works, open the 
Snap Type pop-up menu and select one of the available 
options.
In the Snap Type pop-up menu the following options are 
available:
Grid
If you select this Snap type, the Snap positions are set 
with the Grid Type pop-up menu. The options depend on 
the display format selected for the ruler. For example, if the 
ruler is set to show bars and beats, the grid can be set to 
bars, beats, or the quantize value set with the Quantize 
type pop-up menu. If a time or frame-based ruler format is 
selected, the Grid Type pop-up menu contains time or 
frame-based grid options, etc.
When Seconds is selected as ruler format, the Grid Type pop-up menu 
contains time-based grid options.
Snap activated. 
						

							49
The Project window
Grid Relative
If you select this Snap type, events and parts will not be 
“magnetic” to the grid. Rather, the grid determines the 
step size for moving the events. This means that a moved 
event will keep its original position relative to the grid.
For example, if an event starts at the position 3.04.01 (one 
beat before bar 4), Snap is set to Grid Relative and the Grid 
Type pop-up menu is set to “Bar”, you can move the event 
in steps of one bar – to the positions 4.04.01, 5.04.01 and 
so on. The event will keep its relative position to the grid, i.
 e. 
stay one beat before the bar lines.
•This only applies when dragging existing events or parts 
– when you create new events or parts this snap type 
works like “Grid”.
Events
This grid type makes the start and end positions of other 
events and parts become “magnetic”. This means that if 
you drag an event to a position near the start or end of an
-
other event, it is automatically aligned with the start or end 
of the other event. For audio events, the position of the 
snap point is also magnetic (see 
“Adjusting the snap 
point” on page 288).
•Note that this includes marker events on the marker 
track.
This allows you to snap events to marker positions, and vice versa.
Shuffle
Shuffle is useful when you want to change the order of ad-
jacent events. If you have two adjacent events and drag 
the first one to the right, past the second event, the two 
events will change places.
The same principle works when changing the order of 
more than two events:
Magnetic Cursor
This grid type lets the project cursor become “magnetic”. 
Dragging an event near the cursor causes the event to be 
aligned with the cursor position.
Grid + Cursor
This is a combination of “Grid” and “Magnetic Cursor”.
Events + Cursor
This is a combination of “Events” and “Magnetic Cursor”.
Events + Grid + Cursor
This is a combination of “Events”, “Grid” and “Magnetic 
Cursor”.
Snap to Zero Crossing
When this option is activated on the toolbar or in the Pref-
erences dialog (Editing–Audio page), splitting and sizing 
of audio events is done at zero crossings (positions in the 
audio where the amplitude is zero). This helps you avoid 
pops and clicks which might otherwise be caused by sud
-
den amplitude changes.

5 2 4 3 1
Dragging event 2 past event 4…
…changes the order of events 2, 3 and 4. 
						

							50
The Project window
Auto-Scroll
“Auto-Scroll” and “Suspend Auto-Scroll when Editing” are activated
When the Auto-Scroll option is activated, the waveform 
display will scroll during playback, keeping the project cur
-
sor visible in the window. You can find the Auto-Scroll but-
ton on the toolbars of the Project window and all editors.
•If the “Stationary Cursors” option is activated in the 
Preferences dialog (Transport page), the project cursor 
will be positioned in the middle of the screen (if possible).
Suspending Auto-Scroll
When editing parts or events during playback with Auto-
Scroll enabled, you may suddenly “lose sight” of the ed
-
ited material as the display follows the project cursor.
If you do not want the Project window display to change 
when editing during playback, you can activate the “Sus
-
pend Auto-Scroll when Editing” button. You will find this 
button right next to the Auto-Scroll button. When this op
-
tion is enabled, auto-scrolling is suspended as soon as 
you click anywhere in the event display during playback.
Proceed as follows:
1.Open a project that contains audio or MIDI parts/
events.
2.Enable both the “Auto-Scroll” and the “Suspend Auto-
Scroll when Editing” buttons.
3.Start playback.
4.Edit an audio or MIDI part/event of your project (e. g. 
click and drag it to a different location on its track).
The Auto-Scroll button turns orange.
Auto-Scrolling is now suspended, i. e. when the project 
cursor moves to the right edge of the Project window, the 
display will not follow to keep the cursor visible.
As soon as playback stops or when you click the Auto-
Scroll button again, Nuendo will return to the normal Auto-
Scroll behavior.
