    The session file (.ptx from Pro Tools 10 and later, .ptf from 7 to 9, .pts from 5 and 6), or a .zip of the whole session folder with its Audio Files folder. With the folder, the audio is checked and can be packed with the REAPER project.

    Options

    Where the session folder is on the computer you will open the results on, for example D:\Sessions\My Song or /Users/me/Music/My Song. The Premiere, Logic and OTIO files then point at the audio there. Left empty, they point where it was when the session was saved. The REAPER project finds the audio when it is saved in the session folder either way.

    When the session folder was uploaded as a .zip with its audio, also render every track to one WAV file (clips, fades and crossfades as edited; volume, pan and plug-ins are not applied). All files start at the same point, so they line up in Ableton Live, Studio One, Cubase, FL Studio or any other program.

    More options

    When the session folder was uploaded as a .zip, also make a .zip of the REAPER project with every audio file it plays in place, ready to unpack and open.

    Your files are deleted after processing.

    Pro Tools session to REAPER

    REAPER can't open a .ptx file, and importing the Audio Files folder only gives you a pile of WAV files with no idea where each clip sat. Upload the session file here and you get a REAPER project (.RPP) with the edit rebuilt: the same tracks in the same order, and every clip at its exact sample position, trimmed to the same part of its audio file.

    How to do it

    1. Upload the .ptx file from the session folder (or .ptf / .pts from older Pro Tools). To have the audio checked and packed with the project, upload the whole session folder as a .zip.
    2. Download the .RPP file and save it in the session folder, next to the Audio Files folder.
    3. Open it in REAPER. The items find their audio through paths relative to the session folder.

    With a ZIP upload there is also a ready-made ZIP: unpack it anywhere and open the project inside, the audio files are already next to it.

    What the project holds

    • Tracks with their Pro Tools names and colours; Pro Tools folder tracks become REAPER folders with the same tracks inside.
    • Stereo and surround tracks made of mono files (the usual .L and .R files) become a folder with one track per channel, panned hard left and right or sent to their surround channel.
    • Fades and crossfades with their lengths, so edits sound as they did. Where a crossfade would need more audio than the file has, it is shortened and the report says how many.
    • Muted clips stay muted; hidden tracks are hidden in the mixer; inactive tracks are muted.
    • Clips from clip groups are placed one by one and grouped, so they still move together.
    • MIDI clips as MIDI items, markers and selections as markers and regions, the tempo and meter map, and the session start timecode as the project start.
    • Track comments and the plug-ins used on each track, in the project notes.

    What to set up again

    Volume, pan and automation, plug-ins and their settings, sends and buses are not in the project: plug-in names are listed per track, and the session report lists everything the session holds.
