Default File type - Logic .CAF file

Hello,
Im suggesting to have Logic's .caf file format observed by Reaper with the ability to open and inject that file type into the DAW.



Request

I would like to have the option of Opening .CAF files in Reaper.

Benefit

Its just another opportunity to edit and complete songs, cues and projects that were started in other DAWs, LOGIC, but now finished in REAPER.
It will also allow session info to be incorporated.
Reason

Without this feature, Im Doomed to finding a file conversion
that will work or ask the client to dump to 1 track item Stems.

Implementation Suggestion

Sorry but I dont have any Suggestions for this section. But I do know that you guys are the Greatest....


Thanks for consideration, Yae or Nae,
Robert S.Jr.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Better odds of something like AATranslator adding it.

Spec for the file format: https://developer.apple.com/library/...CAF_intro.html

I think SoX can convert .caf files

https://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox/

It's been 20 years since I encountered one in the wild, tho....

IIRC .caf files are just slightly modified .aiff or .wav files, so supporting them should not be a huge deal unless Apple has started to include additional data in them that is not easy to translate between different DAWs. edit : Checked it a bit further. It looks like it could be a can of worms to support on non-Apple platforms, but on macOs it could probably be done pretty easily with some operating system APIs.

Thanks Guys, I appreciate the responses. I may have to look into file Converters. I wonder if Chicken systems converts .caf files.

Thanks
