Same. Every single customer of mine has only ever wanted the actual wav files.
Then again - the OP - the way I interpret this thread - is wanting to actually “work” in Nuendo using a compressed file format for nothing but to save disc space…which I think is a waste of CPU.
Why would anyone want to instantly compromise their workflow by adding in all the overhead of a compressed format when an uncompressed one has none?
As suggested - the OP should just get a 2013 size hard disk and get on with Nueudo as intended - using wav for everything. It’s a no-brainer.
