git-moss / projectconverter Goto Github PK

As I have some older Reaper-projects which I want to convert to Bitwig Studio I was pleased to install your program ProjectConverter. Unfortunately I had some problems I hope you can look into.

The first Reaper-project I tried was opened in Reaper v7 on OSX and saved. Then I tried the conversion but got an error message.

The error message is:

Could not read or parse the source file:
Unsound folder structure.

I then made a new project in Reaper v7 and your ProjectConverte v1.1 had no problems converting it to DawProject-format.
It opened seamlessly in Bitwig Studio.

I look forward to have your feedback.

I am trying to convert a dawproject file (converted to dawproject from Studio One 6.5.0) to Reaper and it correctly loads everything except the MIDI information, which is empty in all the items. I am using Reaper 7.02

Reaper bakes it's own data into VST/AU data blobs.

So I'm not sure you can transfer them easily. I tried doing something similar a few years ago.

Does this actually work now? Has cockos changed the blob encoding?

I used the converter 1.1.3 to convert a project from Reaper 7.02 to Bitwig 5.0.11 on MacOS 14.0

I am not sure if this falls under "-Complex Routings..." mentioned in the manual, since many plugins have this feature. For Reaper, the process does not properly convert any tracks where you are using a multi-out instance of a plugin eg: Kontakt, XO, Battery, Sitala, etc. It loses all of the midi/audio routing for such instances, and leaves the tracks in a jumbled state in the destination project. Is this a limitation of the dawproject specs at the moment, or does this need to be addressed by the converter?

ps: Thanks for all of your work on this !

Looped audio clips in Bitwig are not loaded with loop in Reaper after conversion
Looped audio clips in Reaper are not loaded with loop in Bitwig after conversion but seem to be somehow flattened but without loop.

Probably the same issue with note clips as well but only tested with audio clips.

I was converting from a Bitwig generated DAWProject to a Reaper file.

Hi,
Was trying to do my first conversion between files. The Studio One project was about 60 tracks, with multiple regions, meter and signature changes, and no time-stretch events. It was recorded at 88.2kHz, 24bits. I've stripped out every plugin just wanting to test the bare audio regions export.

I kept having the same error message:
Could not read or parse the source file: ZipFile invalid LOC header (bad signature)

Just to be sure, I tried to open the file using Zip software and had no issue. I tried both in Windows and on Mac OSX. Same results.
Then I removed some tracks from the project, leaving around 40 tracks. The error message changed to:

For input string: "FF0D0DFF" under radix 16 java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "FF0D0DFF" under radix 16 at java.base/java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.Integer.valueOf(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.Integer.decode(Unknown Source) at de.mossgrabers.projectconverter.format.reaper.ReaperDestinationFormat.fromHexColor(ReaperDestinationFormat.java:1315) at de.mossgrabers.projectconverter.format.reaper.ReaperDestinationFormat.createTrack(ReaperDestinationFormat.java:1142) at de.mossgrabers.projectconverter.format.reaper.ReaperDestinationFormat.convertTrack(ReaperDestinationFormat.java:606) at de.mossgrabers.projectconverter.format.reaper.ReaperDestinationFormat.convertTracks(ReaperDestinationFormat.java:388) at de.mossgrabers.projectconverter.format.reaper.ReaperDestinationFormat.write(ReaperDestinationFormat.java:169) at de.mossgrabers.projectconverter.core.ConversionTask.call(ConversionTask.java:93) at de.mossgrabers.projectconverter.core.ConversionTask.call(ConversionTask.java:23) at javafx.concurrent.Task$TaskCallable.call(Task.java:1426) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

After a few tries, I changed the color of the tracks to 7FFFFFFF (the maximum value that would fit in a standard Java integer), and it finally succeeded in processing the file, although it only created the audio regions for the first two tracks. Also, these regions were consolidated in the resulting file, and in the original Studio One song were split into many small regions. The rest of the tracks were created with the right names but were empty.

Hope this help develop this amazing and useful tool you are creating!
Thank you for your work!

Hi,
I'm on EndeavourOs, and I can't install the Project converter.
I use debtap to convert it, but when I try to run pacman -U, I get error messages about libxxx.so.72 not being symlinkk
