Session Updater replaces the source audio in a
.rxdoc file, preserving the session's markers and view
state, and can reconstruct your original edits using the new
audio.
The RX application has no feature for replacing the source audio in a saved session. When a revised mix arrives, the edits in the session are forever tied to the original file… until now.
This tool unpacks the session, substitutes the new audio file, and
creates a new .rxdoc file with the markers and view state
intact.
Session Updater understands the internal structure of an
.rxdoc file and is able to trace relationships between each
of the edits stored within. Using the processed and unprocessed audio it
is able to calculate a transfer function in the frequency domain for
every original edit.
These transfer functions can then be re-applied to the corresponding audio ranges in the replacement audio, effectively reconstructing the session edits, even where multiple edits affect the same audio region.
This works great for fades, gain moves, EQ and de-essing functions, and
does a pretty good job for other types of processing. Every
reconstructed edit can be auditioned and either kept or discarded when
generating the new .rxdoc file.
Sometimes a new mix arrives which is longer or shorter than the original. Session Updater includes intelligent matching tools to help line up the old and new audio files correctly, with a graphical null test display and nudge buttons to perfect the alignment. Edits are then automatically moved back or forward in time to make sure they affect the exact same audio range as in the original project.
Session Updater generates a brand new .rxdoc file
containing all new audio but preserving the original view state and
markers. To make sure your work is always safe, Session Updater will
refuse to overwrite the original project file.
Requires macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later, on Intel or Apple Silicon (universal binary).
