Hi Yvan - 1) Nuendo does not allow you to import or export .amb files natively. 2) Wigware or the others VSTs suggested on this thread will work in Nuendo - you could do your ambisonic mixing in nuendo but getting the vertical plane right will be a routing headache. 3) You would have to export however many mono tracks were needed for your specific array - you wouldnt be able to export a .amb file or the xyz/w
