satya Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 https://www.bitwig.com/stories/bitwig-and-presonus-are-making-it-easy-to-share-projects-between-programs-271 Bitwig and PreSonus have announced a new format for project files that allows for easy exchanges between different programs. As of today it is supported in Bitwig Studio 5.0.9 and Studio One 6.5. DAWproject is the latest Bitwig-led initiative aimed at connecting our music technology industry and giving musicians more freedom. It follows the 2022 launch of CLAP, the free and open plugin standard launched last year in collaboration with u-he. “Every DAW is different, and that is a strength of our industry. Allowing users to take their work between programs is now easier than ever — and the right thing to do.”, says Claes Johanson, Bitwig co-founder and lead developer of DAWproject. Arnd Kaiser, General Manager at PreSonus Software: “Our vision for Studio One has always been to eliminate workflow barriers and enable users to collaborate. With DAWproject, we are thrilled to introduce a new open format that allows users of different DAWs to work together seamlessly for the first time. We are proud to launch this groundbreaking new format in partnership with Bitwig.” Music producers often work with multiple Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). Some seek inspiration through new features and technologies, while others use different programs for different stages of their production and/or performance process. Unfortunately, no exchange format existed that allowed for sharing projects between DAWs, forcing users to export and re-import audio stems instead. DAWproject is an open and free file format that makes it much easier to move from one DAW to another, enabling producers to choose their preferred DAW for specific tasks. No more complex and time consuming procedures for moving projects, converting formats, and exporting or importing — DAWproject files include all the most important information in a DAW-agnostic format. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper will be first I guess as Justin is usually very fast with things like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) It would be nice to see Sonar eventually on that. Of course it would have been nice if they had functionality to export P5 to Sonar. Edited September 26, 2023 by Magic Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander Verstraten Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Doesn't Bitwig also allow for importing native Ableton and FL Studio files already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simeon Amburgey Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 OMF was something that Cakewalk supported many years ago, and I just checked that it is still an export option. This was an attempt to try and help create some form of project interchange between Cakewalk products and ProTools, what ended up happening is that mostly we just exported wav files from start to finish and provided a tempo or even a midi file that was imported. I could see where an update to this as well as possible wider spread adoption of a realistic interchange format would be a win win for everyone in the longterm. I look forward to seeing how this works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
