Buffle Audio / Convert

Auditable DAW migration, not wishful conversion.

Move REAPER sessions into Cubase 13 transfer packages, rebuild Cubase-style transfer folders back into REAPER, and get a validated artifact bundle plus plugin repair report before you trust the session.

conversion cockpit

Know what survives before you open the target DAW.

Convert audits the source hierarchy, edit state, routing, automation, and plugin chains before it renders transfer media. Package validity stays separate from Cubase reconstruction and musical-equivalence signoff.

Buffle Audio Convert dark cockpit showing scan metrics, plugin status, and transfer package outputs
The V1 cockpit keeps source scan, conversion outputs, plugin status, and warnings in one local surface.

package evidence

Every export carries the repair memory with it.

The latest V1 package includes a REAPER source-truth audit, Cubase reconstruction plan, conversion and plugin reports, checksums, equivalence checklist, placement CSVs, MIDI, DAWproject preview, and reverse REAPER smoke output.

V1 workflow

REAPER to Cubase 13 without pretending to write CPR.

01

Scan

Read `.RPP`, project folders, or ZIP exports. Detect tracks, clips, media, markers, tempo, plugins, backups, and cache files.

02

Package

Write timestamped Broadcast WAV clips, MIDI tempo/markers/notes/events, DAWproject preview, placement CSV, manifest, checksums, Cubase signoff checklist, and a distributable transfer zip.

03

Validate

Run the V1 gate, verify BWF timestamps, checksum every package file, generate a structural audit, prepare Cubase signoff evidence, smoke-test reverse REAPER export, and preserve CI artifacts for review.

Local-first trust

No cloud upload is required. Project names, paths, plugin lists, and client material stay on the machine by default.

Plugin intent notes

The assistant inventories installed candidates and captures source parameter references. Category-level substitutes remain unverified until a user approves them with listening or render evidence.

Professional handoff

Every export includes a human report, machine manifest, checksums, import steps, and a Cubase validation checklist so a studio can audit the transfer.

CI proof bundle

Every green GitHub validation run uploads the transfer zip, reports, mapping library, checklist, Cubase signoff template, manifest, structural audit, CSVs, MIDI, DAWproject, and reverse `.RPP` smoke output.

Preview foundation, tested on a real session archive.

The current V1 is a transfer-package preview with a local web cockpit and public static demo. The golden fixture package validates, while the reconstruction plan deliberately remains open until Cubase routing, automation, plugin decisions, and audible comparison are proven.
