Even reconforming changed timelines (similar to comparing timelines in Resolve 14 , but then for audio) using the amazing Vordio creating color coded clips and reconformed tracks.
And Reaper is the most customisable DAW on the planet. After 1 week deep dive and studying the actions and scripting options, i reconfigured everything exactly as i want plus stuf unimaginable in protools. Even the resolve dynamic audio tracks work to Reaper via Vordio.
Thanks for the tip on Vordio, shall look into that. I agree in general about a singular focus on Avid export from Blackmagic. I would like to ask that round tripping might be widened and improved in the future, hopefully in Resolve 14. Many of us are voting with our pockets when it comes to Avid, and/or there many, many other DAW options used - Nuendo, Logic, Digital Performer, Studio One, Reaper etc just to name a few.
AAF round tripping is problematic no matter what; for a so-called 'standard' its far from that. Would like to see a few more AAF delivery output options in Resolve that might take into account other workflows than Avid. Presently, in my experience, none of the AAF outputs work correctly for anything other than ProTools (have used that recently with PT 12.7 HD and all was well ... except that this requires Avid software).
Steinberg basically invented the DAW some 30 years ago, and including many of the standards we now use: VST architecture for example. Nuendo is a true Post Production platform with corresponding scaleable hardware, Nuage .. etc. At the very least, would expect to see Resolve-Nuendo round-tripping that works for Pro audio production and music. Fairlight has a long way to go in terms of playing catch-up with decades of development in audio post by other specialists (& is presently unusable). Nor can it accomodate music production, MIDI, VIs, scoring or otherwise ... the apparently planned Rewire feature is intriguing.
If too hard, then give us OMF? Old format, but talks to most music apps. The present state of 'round-tripping' with a bizzilion intermediate vendors in the middle to fix and convert is fairly bizarre for what is meant to be an open /cross platform 'standard'. Nor has this changed much in the last 20 years.
Yeah, Reaper's cool; popular with PhD students with no cash; a bit 'open source' like, but nice to see someone doing that work. Ditto all of the other great DAW options, Studio One being one interesting and solid development in recent years (based on another PhD project and partnering with former core Steinberg developer).
I think the thing to note (for Blackmagic & others) is that musicians /creators will all have favourite platforms – as much as possible, that diversity & creativity should be supported without a whole lot of unnecessary tech guff - much less, the apparent implication /demand that somehow all studios use ProTools? No, no no - nothing could be farther for the truth. Get over Avid. We have.
