Pro Tools and Nuendo Hardware syncing
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has experience of locking together a PTHD and Nuendo with full sync (trilevel, wordclock, 9-pin/some other transport). I'm talking to a production whose sound designer has a very developed session in Nuendo and the dialogue is in Pro Tools, so moving it all to one system isn't going to work at this point. The film is dialogue heavy, with minimal FX but lots of subtle atmos/sound design from Nuendo. I know I could get him to print his Nuendo session as audio but I don't think that is going to suit the production. Ideal scenario for me as a mixer would be to lock the two together, feed a few 5.1 wide stems (say 24 channel) from Nuendo into Pro Tools which would playback dialogue and be used for dialogue premix and final mixing, printing either internally or to a satellite PT. The sound designer will most likely operate the Nuendo session at the same time during the mix if changes are required in his balance. Any advice on specific hardware setup or a better way to do it? Obviously I would be using a Sync HD, more interested in a reliable Nuendo solution that plays nicely with Pro Tools. Rob Walker AMPS

Re: Pro Tools and Nuendo Hardware syncing
It can I believe, too much automation to go that route (so I am told)

Re: Pro Tools and Nuendo Hardware syncing
For Tri level frame sync you need the Nuendo Syncstation (equivalent to Sync HD).
I suggest you lock the Nuendo station to Wordclock and feed it LTC or MTC to sync it to the PT station. However if you can get SB in the US to lend you a Syncstation you can also lock the machine to 9 pin if needed. It is also a quick LTC chaser if you just feed it TC. At my studio we usually mix and match PT and Nuendo rigs (usually PT is the stem recorder) and there is always a solution. |

And yes, if the session is automation-heavy you would want to keep the original session and not export an AAF where you would lose a lot of info (same goes for PT to Nuendo).

Re: Pro Tools and Nuendo Hardware syncing
Thanks for the help guys. I think the chances are the sync station maybe overkill if MTC is a reliable positional reference with Nuendo. The master transport would be Pro Tools. I'll find out more armed with your info.
Thanks again, Rob Walker AMPS

No worries Rob. If you need any specific pointers regarding Nuendo shoot me a PM.
