ADR Modes

Nuendo provides two ADR modes, automatic and Free Run mode, which use markers and the project cursor in different ways.

Note

The ADR modes adopt all settings previously applied in the ADR Setup window.

Automatic mode (Free Run deactivated)

This mode allows you to record a take based on the position and length of the selected marker. In the different ADR statuses, the following happens:

  • On clicking Rehearse, a locator range the corresponds to the position and the length of the selected markers is selected in the Project window ruler. The project cursor jumps to the start of the pre-roll phase, and playback starts. At the end, the project cursor automatically jumps back to the start position.

  • On clicking Record, the project cursor jumps to the start of the pre-roll phase, and playback starts. When the left locator is reached, recording starts. At the end of the post-roll phase, recording stops automatically, and the project cursor jumps back to the left locator. The recorded event is automatically resized to this position.

  • On clicking Review, the project cursor jumps to the start of the pre-roll phase, and playback starts. At the end of the post-roll phase, playback stops automatically, and the project cursor jumps back to the start position of the take.

Free Run activated

Activate Free Run for more flexibility. It allows you to use the project cursor position as the ADR start position. You can set the project cursor position manually or use a marker in the marker list. Free Run works as follows:

  • On clicking Rehearse, the left locator is set to the project cursor position, and playback starts from there. If pre-roll is enabled, playback starts with the Pre-roll value that you defined in the ADR Setup window. Playback stops when you click Stop.

  • On clicking Record, the project cursor jumps to the start position of the take, and recording starts. If pre-roll is enabled, playback starts at the beginning of the pre-roll phase, and recording starts when the take start position is reached. Recording stops when you click Stop.

  • On clicking Review, the project cursor jumps to the take start position, and playback starts. If pre-roll is enabled, playback starts at the beginning of the pre-roll phase. Playback stops when you click Stop.

    Note

    If Return to Start Position on Stop is activated in the Preferences dialog (Transport page), the project cursor returns to the start position of the take.
