For some reason when I export a midi sample to wav in Nuendo, the wav sample is at a much faster tempo than the original midi sample was... any ideas?

By the way... Nuendo & Cubase are basically the same functionally, so if you know how to fix this in Cubase, it'll probably be the same in Nuendo...

My guess is that the chosen export sample rate is incorrect.

If you export a file at 48Khz and play it back at 44.1Khz, it will play slow and low.

If you are importing the sample after export SX/Nuendo has preferecnes to re-sample the wave before importing it to the project.

See file menu preferecnes- editing- audio- on import Audio files.

Generally I leave that as show options dialog, so I can choose what I want for a speciific import.

I just tried that and it still did the same thing... Thanks Bas for the suggestion though...

Could you check the file sample rate (before import) and the project sample rate (if importing into Nu)?
The project sample rate is shown from the project menu- project setup.

If exporting and playing using another application, check just the file sample rate (right-click and select properties in Windows).

Could I ask what you mean by "export a midi sample to wav". Not being funny, I just think we'd be better able to help if we knew precisely what you are doing to get this exported MIDI sample.

I'm using FL Studio as a VST plugin in Nuendo... I have a drum loop that I want to add effects to using a DXi plugin... So I have to export the loop to a wav file... Then I can re-add it as an audio track so I can add effects...

Are you sure about the sample rates? Check the Project Setup dialogue, to see what the Master Sample rate is. Then check your Export Audio dialogue and the file attributes in the Pool. I really couldn't see this happening otherwise, unless FL's settings have to conform to Nuendo's?

Hey - can't you just add the FX to FL Studio's output channel in the VST Mixer?

Yes you can, but I'd rather use my Sonalksis plugins... Needless to say, they sound quite a bit better...

You were exactly right Bas, that did fix the problem...

Evidently, I must've been doing something wrong the first time I tried it...

Thankyou very much for the help guys, I never would've thought to adjust the sample rate...

Thanks for letting us know.

Glad you are up and running.

Bas.

I don't mean to be a pain, but I still don't get this: you can use DirectX plug-ins in Nuendo and Sonalksis is VST...you just prefer to do destructive edits?

(Glad you sorted out the problem, btw)

You can use VST inside fruity loops as well. so whats the need for exporting and then reprocessing in nuendo?

Using offline effects/processes in Nuendo and SX is not destuctive. They can be undone or altered using offline process history.

That has the advantage of keeping the CPU levels down, while still being able to use silly amounts of effects on audio events, without setting anything in stone.

The offline process history is saved with the project.

Indeed, Bas. Just wanted to add that I convert to audio in this way all the time. It's often much easier to work with the audio than with the MIDI, or the realtime VSTi/Rewire output - and it certainly provides a whole new level of opportunities for audio manipulation.

You lose absolutely nothing, since you can recreate the orginal source at any time. Heck, if you create a new version of the clip before you start processing it, you can even overwrite your audio edits in a second, if you want to revert and retain all your editing up to that point (using [Shift] drag on the clip from the Pool).
