Out of Sync audio tracks on import into Nuendo 11

[Lexicondonn]

I’m rather new to using program drums, but in SD3  I decided I wanted to export only the 5 Tom Tracks onto the Nuendo timeline (aka audio file import) I have to move the imported files to line up to sync with the remaining SD3 drums. The first tom roll is in sync and the rest are not.   This makes no sense to me.

I imported only two stereo tom tracks. You would think that if the first roll was in sync the rest of the file should too, no?

What am I missing. ? Any help would be great on this.

Thank you

Hi,

how exactly did you export the Tom Tracks?

Does your Nuendo timeline have Tempo and/or Signature changes?

Yes, Nuendo does have tempo changes in this song. All at 4/4.
I didn’t think this would be an issue because SD3 follows the changes to a T.

Well, you didn’t answer my question how exactly you exported the Tom Tracks?

If you e.g. used the SD3 Internal Bounce, have ‘Follow Host’ enabled and haven’t replicated the Tempo changes on the SD3 Track, there is no way for SD3 to know where the Tempo changes are when producing the Offline Bounce. Following Tempo changes in real-time is another thing and is of course no problem. If you Offline Bounce without Tempo information on the SD3 Song Track and ‘Follow Host’ enabled, the Bounce will have the same Tempo throughout as where the current tempo is where you have your play head on the Timeline.

Understood.   So if I enter tempo changes in SD to match Daw.  It should work, correct ?

[John]

Yes.

If the Tempo changes are complex, you can export a MIDI file from your DAW and use ‘Import Tempo from MIDI file’ in the SD3 Track Menu.
The same would apply to Time Sig changes.

Once the Tempo changes are in place on the SD3 Song Track, you Disable ‘Follow Host’ and then Bounce the. Song Track.

Now your exported Audio files should line up and sync perfectly in your DAW when imported.
