Some 16 track fostex recordings i was involved in years ago have been transferred to an expensive piece of kit called Radar. It's being mixed by a pro but im allowed like to have digital copies and play about with them in Reaper. So i had a search and found this post Are they taking about the same Reaper ?!?!? Would be amazing if i could just load all the tracks direct into Reaper from Radar Am i dreaming ??!!?!??!

Left hand side of page... You're not dreaming. D

wow... reaper does radar? very naice! havent met anyone yet that uses radar, but it has been the subject of a few wet dreams!

The RADAR crowd was a big chunk of the type of user I was after. Note the high average age of reaper users in the forum. PARIS users are similar. People used to patchbays, soldering irons and screwdrivers

Update.. The guy had a audio book reader read him the manual and sorted the problem, I now have it all loaded into REAPER , this heralds a new era of audio editing for me which I,m looking forward to learning about, labor of love :)

Sorry I missed this thread - I use Radar more or less every day, so if anyone has any questions . . . Radar exports to DVD very easily - you just hit the export button and pick BWV (i.e. time stamped) and all files should be exported with their track names as WAVs. On import into Reaper, select all tacks and pick 'source preferred position' and they all jump to where they were in the Radar. You can also export the WAVs to your system drive (usually D-Archive) and Ethernet them to any other devices on your Ethernet. There is a free help line for Radar and for everywhere on Planet Earth and they are very helpful. Problems occur when the tracks are not named in Radar and when the export file format in Radar is set to 'custom'. There is also a choice of automatically naming tracks and it is best to set it to track number, take number and then name. Reaper also reads Radar project folders. Radar is without question, the best tracking device out there and works brilliantly with Reaper.

Got to say that recording to hardware has a simplicity and immediacy to it you can't really match with a DAW. Workstations have the rule on configuration options, they are much more flexible, but dragging your finger down a row of Arm buttons and hitting "Rec-Play" is as simple as it gets. >
