SpectraLayers One offers a spectrogram view of the audio tracks in Nuendo, including selection, editing and display tools that allow intricate editing to improve dialog and location audio. SpectraLayers One is a simplified version of the acclaimed spectral editing software SpectraLayers Pro 7. The enhanced Sampler Track now slices samples and includes two global LFOs. The new Squasher compresses the input signal in up to three bands, with an individual gate, saturation effect and independent side-chaining. The new Multiband Imager places up to four bands in different locations within the stereo image. Frequency 2 offers dynamic EQ, with the filter nodes of the eight available bands responding to the input signal and also offering independent side-chaining. The MultiTap Delay now supports up to 7.1 surround sound. Nuendo 11 also adds many enhancements to its sound design tools. This means that stems are individually exported together with all the settings available in the Export Audio Mixdown dialog, but the tasks are processed in one single action. Job Queues is a tremendous time-saver, allowing engineers to enter up to 20 different tasks in a list.

Based on algorithms developed by the Oldenburg branch of the Fraunhofer IDMT in Germany, the new AI-powered Intelligibility Meter indicates in real time the effort of the listener to understand speech in the mix.

To ensure consistency of content production, the Netflix Loudness Meter in Nuendo 11 is calibrated to the official Sound Mix Specifications and Best Practices, measuring the dialog-gated loudness as required by Netflix. More metering options are integrated with the Netflix Loudness Meter and Intelligibility Meter.
