Exporting or converting projects to reaper

LarryP wrote on 5/8/2016, 8:33 PM

I have about 100 projects, going back to V2A days, that I did with a talented composer/performer friend who uses reaper on a Mac.

Anyone have any suggestions about conversion tools or export possibilities? A less that complete conversion is OK but it would be nice to convert: source files, cuts, takes and volume envelopes. Bonus would be normalization, mute, and at least a list of plugins. Reaper, BTW, uses the same projects files on Mac or Windows.

I can code something up if needed but that's not my first choice.

Thanks. Larry

I'm not that familiar with Reaper, except Jason loosely based it on Vegas and AFAIK, early versions could open .veg project files.
You could try re-saving your .veg files as ' text' project files, which Reaper will open, though I don't know how many of the parameters are included aside from the timeline.
I believe AATranslator can convert .veg files to a Reaper friendly format. www.aatranslator.com.au
The Reaper discussion group could be a resource as well. http://forum.cockos.com

I played around with this the other day and found that if you save it to a .TXT file Vegas will open up the audio project from Reaper and vice versa, it saved the cuts but I'm not sure about the rest. I also found if your editing a movie in Vegas, i could save the project as .txt, then bring it into Reaper, and do the score with the video file :-)
