With the SWS Reaper Extension (Donation Ware) Reaper becomes even better. User created themes abound to start you down the path of grasping customizations. The thing to remember about Reaper is, a track is anything you want it to be; a bus, a folder, midi, audio etc. If you want to get a sense of that concept, download the Reaper trial, install REAPER (with ReaCWP) and then simply open a CbB song in Reaper. Study how your buses are handled etc. Granted the default UI may seem "toyish" as some have called it, but what I'm suggesting here is to get a hold of the "a track is anything you want it to be" concept. Also, the ReaCWP plugin did a damn fine job of converting quite a few SPlat projects for me.

Hard Pass. See below. I own the stereo versions.

Update on the Studio One export. I just opened the export in Studio One and it's as bad on payback as it was in Bitwig. What a fustercluck!

Don't or plan to own FL or Ableton. ?

OK I disbaled all the plugins off the drums and solo'd the drums. That's where the whackyness ensued. FYI I insured that all the tracks were continuous (start at beat 1/1) in Studio One before I exported to DAWproject.

I did not try and install the Reaper -> DAWproject yet. I did export from Studio One Pro v6.x (latest) and then import DAWproject file into Bitwig Studio 5.011. Sadly, the playback had elements out of sync. I think it was the drums as those tracks all had active AutoAlign 2 on them and I suspect that may have caused some grief. At another time I'll try and mute the AutoAlign2 plug and see if that fixes the situ. Also the other bugaboo was the project was not entirely in 4/4 and the song had a slowed down tempo at the last two measures. It appears that none of that happened. I need to discover how to see the tempo map in Bitwig to verify that. one track is MIDI and without that tempo map more trouble can abound I suspect. So for right now, SO->DAWproject->Bitwig is not ready for primetime until I can find out if there more I need to do about the tempo map.

Last time I tried (Win 7) Voyetra Sequencer Plus Gold (it's midi only) form the 1990s still worked. But I ent goan bach there.

Let's hope the new SONAR adopts DAWproject integration.

And we must remember that there was that conversion tool (ReaCWP) that @azslow3 wrote to take a SPlat/SONAR/CbB project into Reaper which in my case was pretty darn accurate. So, @PavlovsCat can combine all this and take his CbB song into Reaper, the Reaper song into DAWproject and the DAWproject into StudioOne. We live in exciting and interesting times.

Looks like I'll finally be able to use these SSL plugs I do not own. SSL 4K B G3 Multibus Comp Blitzer Meter SubGen

What??!!?? It's not real?

And there it is.

In my day reds/downers were called bennies. Unless I'm just too old and not remembering properly, and since I was not a druggie ever.

Sadly, it's still working.

Why did everyone miss the obvious:

So, no matter what you spend in October it means nothing come Nov 1.

About the only way they can sweeten the deal for me is to bring back Forever29. End of.

Just enough for the Happy Meal at Mickey D's these days.

If you buy on day 1 or the last release of v7 it's good through the last release of v8. IOW a license is good for two versions.

Her?
