Project file size big and getting bigger....

Nuendo
#1

We have one project in N4.3 which is >450MB compared with usually <5MB… Can’t see anything unusual about this project, though it is quite edit-heavy.

Any ideas?

BTW, is the old archived Nuendo/Cubase forum searchable? If not, it’s of rather limited value as an archive…

#2

I agree the archive should be searchable. Kind’a silly if it’s not.

Try using a search engine instead.

#3

You can use Google for that.
Just add “site:Nuendo.com” or “site:cubase.net” before your search words.

Any ideas about the monster project file? Now 615MB…

More information - the engineer has imported a quantity of WAV’s into the project, changing the sample rate in the process from 48k to 44.1k.

#5

It’s most likely caused by offline processing… Do you use it?

#6

Nice suggestion - yes, there is a fair amount. I’ve told the engineer to bounce all the files when he’s finished editing them and delete the trash, see if that resolves it.

I guess the sophisticated system which enables off-line processing to be undone or changed at any stage must be saving stuff somewhere…

Thanks.

#7

No need to bounce… You can select them all and use “freeze edits” command… Do you use Izotope stuff?

#8

Thanks, will try that. Not Izotope, actually loads and loads of Autotune…
