Convert RCY to REX

Understanding RCY and REX file formats

RCY files are project files created by Propellerhead ReCycle, a popular audio editing software. These files store audio loops, slices, and project settings, allowing users to manipulate and rearrange sampled audio. REX files, on the other hand, are a widely used audio loop format also developed by Propellerhead. REX files contain sliced audio loops and timing information, making them compatible with many digital audio workstations (DAWs) and samplers.

Why convert RCY to REX?

Converting RCY to REX is essential for sharing loops with other musicians or using them in different DAWs. REX files are more universally supported, while RCY files are specific to ReCycle projects.

How to convert RCY to REX

The most reliable way to convert RCY to REX is by using Propellerhead ReCycle itself. Follow these steps:

1. Open your RCY file in ReCycle.
2. Edit or adjust your loop as needed.
3. Go to File → Export or File → Save As.
4. Select REX or REX2 as the output format.
5. Choose your destination folder and save the file.
