Convert RPP to JCP

Understanding rpp and jcp file formats

RPP files are project files created by REAPER, a popular digital audio workstation (DAW). These files store information about audio tracks, effects, automation, and project settings in a human-readable XML format. JCP files, on the other hand, are Jokosher Project files, used by the Jokosher audio editor. Like RPP, JCP files contain project data, including track arrangements, effects, and references to audio files.

Why convert rpp to jcp?

Converting an RPP file to a JCP file allows users to transfer their audio projects from REAPER to Jokosher. This can be useful if you want to collaborate with someone using Jokosher or prefer Jokosher's workflow for further editing.

How to convert rpp to jcp

There is no direct, automated converter for RPP to JCP due to differences in how each DAW structures project data. However, you can follow these steps to manually transfer your project:

1. Open your RPP file in REAPER.
2. Export each track as a separate audio file using File → Render.
3. Open Jokosher and create a new project (File → New Project).
4. Import the rendered audio files into Jokosher using Project → Add Instrument and Instrument → Import Audio.
5. Arrange the tracks in Jokosher to match your original project.
6. Save the project, which will create a JCP file.

Recommended software for conversion

• REAPER (for exporting tracks from RPP): https://www.reaper.fm/
• Jokosher (for creating JCP projects): https://launchpad.net/jokosher

There are currently no third-party tools that automate the RPP to JCP conversion. Manual export and import is the most reliable method.

Tips for a smooth conversion

• Keep track of tempo and time signature settings, as these may not transfer automatically.
• Export stems (individual tracks) rather than a full mix for maximum flexibility in Jokosher.
• Double-check audio alignment after importing into Jokosher.
