#1739979 - 07/15/21 08:37 PM Help Recovering Project from CD
kingsrow kingsrow Space Cadet Registered: 07/15/21 Posts: 4	I have a VS-2400 project backed up on CD that I want to recover on a PC. Anyone have any idea how to do this without the VS-2400? I've tried the usual WAV export tools and a PC doesn't even recognize the file structure on a backup CD. If there isn't a solution, would anyone who still owns a 2400 be willing to help me out with recovering the project?

But I want to mention that (as you've discovered, I think) there are no windows or mac tools that can be used to export/import VS tracks onto a standard computer as wav files (or any other type), because the VS files are a proprietary format that only a VS recorder can use. Aside from getting someone with a 2400 to help you grab and convert the tracks of your disc into wav files - which I think is your best bet - someone may also be able to help you who has one of the 2-3 third party tools made to work on windows only that can possibly read and export the 2400 format (these would be VSWE [vs wave export], CD2Roland [the cd "ripper"], or VirDIS [which contains both of the other tools]). So, this may work in your favor and hopefully more than one person may be able to jump to your assistance. Good luck with it.

I followed the directions and was able to get the project loaded onto my PC and opened up in Reaper. I feel like an idiot but thanks for your help. It actually made me think I must have missed something so I dug a little deeper.

It was easier for me to use through VSWE. Good to hear you got your goal and into Reaper! _________________________ uptildawn

This just happened to be the pianist/artist for whom I'd recorded the band's concert - so that was a pleasant experience, you can be sure...... maybe not so much...... _________________________ uptildawn
