General

Enables the appropriate resolution to ensure that the display of the Nuendo user interface is sharp and precise on high resolution displays with supported scaling factors of 100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, and 200%.

The Application Scaling menu allows you to scale the Nuendo user interface relative to the Windows system scaling setting.

If you activate this option, Nuendo gathers usage information and writes it in a log file that you can find at the following location:

• On Windows: \Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Steinberg\usagelogger

  On macOS: /Users/<user name>/Library/Logs/Steinberg/usagelogger

Activating this option to write such a file and then sending the file to the Steinberg support team can be useful if Nuendo crashes and the crash dump files do not reveal enough information.

By default, Enable Usage Logging is deactivated. We recommend that you deactivate it when you no longer need it.

Allows you to show/hide the News section in the Hub.

Allows you to select the language displayed in the application. After switching the language, you must restart Nuendo for the change to take effect.

Automatically saves backup copies of all open projects with unsaved changes. The backup files are named Name.bak, where “Name” corresponds to the name of the project. The backup copies are saved in the project folder. Backup copies of unsaved projects are named #UntitledX.bak, where “X” is an incremental number, so you can save multiple backup copies in the same project folder.

Allows you to specify how often a backup copy is created.

Allows you to specify the number of backup files to be created. As soon as the maximum number of backup files is reached, the existing files are overwritten, starting with the oldest file.

Displays an explanatory tooltip when you position the mouse pointer over an icon or button in Nuendo.

Allows you to specify the number of undo steps.

Gathers edit actions in the Edit History dialog and automation actions on the automation panel in branches.

Opens the Project Setup dialog, every time you create a new project.
