Absolute live safer! I'm a Cubase user and I collaborate with different people who use Reaper. Only problem I had so far was getting tempo mapping from one daw project to the other. Almost killed me. Solved. Thanks man! 👏
first off hope you had a great holiday...great video short concise and tells me everything i need to know. ive been working in studio one and recently made the switch to pro tools. why ? i have no good idea lol just always wanted to work in it but the part of whole files i never knew. like i said great vid and thanks ever so much for continuing content
What about instrument tracks in pro tools where you have midi velocities etc. Like say you are using superior drummer and did all your velocity editing in pro tools. Will that velocity editing transfer or is that happening in real time in pro tools?
Thanks for the simple, clear system. A question you might be able to answer re tempo map transfer : I work in Reaper and have altered the metronome patterns to emphasise my odd-meter rhythms without sounding out every beat. This detail doesn't follow over to Protools when I collaborate. The tempo map and markers transfer fine with midi, as you've shown, but the metronome patterns reverts to factory settings and are unpleasant to work with... Any idea if it possible to take those metronome patterns over, apart from creating another system like a midi click? (I ended up rendering audio from my Reaper click, to work with over in Protools, but it was obviously inflexible.) Thanks!
@@FrightboxRecording No, the meter changes are transferring fine (Reaper to Protools) but not the click patterns I have adjusted for them in Tempo/Time Signature Marker (Set Metronome Pattern). For example an 8/16 that is musically shaped as 332, has the pattern A..A..B. so I am marking only the strong beats of the groove rather than all beats of the meter... when transferred to Protools it sounds like ABBBBBB and has no groove.
So how would you go about sending this whole project as a file to your collaborator, so they can see all the tracks too, as opposed to sending them a single bounced or printed track? Also, thank you so much for this video. It answered so many of my questions about how to do this.
I've found that this is the best way. Even if you're both using the same exact DAW, the only way they'd be able to open your project and plugin settings is if they own all the plugins you're using. I've found that the method I shared in this video is pretty much standard practice for this reason.
No, this will only transfer your audio files and tempo map. It's exactly what you need when collaborating with other musicians and producers who might be using a different DAW.
@@FrightboxRecording thanks for your response! That makes sense but the wav files are imported not as edited but as raw, without reference to their position in the timeline?
@@DarthPreamp You have to start the consolidation all at the same point in time in the original session so that they line up exactly as they did originally once imported into Reaper.
@@FrightboxRecording OK yes, got it! Consolidating tracks in Reaper is a bit of a different process. It's actually a more efficient workflow in Pro Tools. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Bobby. It's Edge of Christ from Russia. Do you review mixes? I'd like to get an evaluation from the side

Nice tip. Tempo map, so simple and so important.

So you're saying that meter changes aren't transferring when exporting a midi file from Pro Tools over to Reaper?

wait do all your plugins and settings transfer too?
No, this will only transfer your audio files and tempo map. It's exactly what you need when collaborating with other musicians and producers who might be using a different DAW.
skip to 3:50 for this 'to the point' video...
What do you do if the tracks in the session do not start at the same point in time?
The trick is to consolidate the files so that they all start at the same point in time.

I just did a reaper to reaper swap.
and everything stayed the same cuz we had the same plugins...
I find reaper is good enough now you don't need any other DAW. I did not update Ableton Live.
You are correct. Reaper is plenty powerful and is actually the most stable DAW I've ever used...even on cheapo laptops.
