Hi.
I've been using AA since, well, it was Cooledit "'96". I am tracking stuff these days that requires MIDI and I have decided that I don't understand/don't want-to-understand how to track MIDI in another program and move it back into AA (I also don't want to go back to AA 3.0 just to get MIDI back). The multiple program workflow just to get MIDI in sounds inefficient and I am convinced it will slow down my ability to make music. Damnit. I can tell it'll be a pain in the ass and I just don't want to do it.
So, I'm thinking about buying Reaper and just diving into it. I bought AAtranslator and exported my AA CC file to an XML (it balked a little on linefeeds or something). I installed the Reaper demo and imported it. It appeared to import but the timing off the tracks is way off. Some tracks were actually cut off at the beginning (!).
Question is- Was my import process flawed or was there an incompatibility?
I am looking for the easiest way to get back to work so if manually importing wav files into Reaper and re-arranging them is in order, then I'd rather do that then hacking with the import process.
Thanks
