Win/Mac song portability
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2016 5:03 pm
By looking at song files (.hdr), it seems that a project is not currently portable from Mac to Win and viceversa.
One problem I see is due to explicit OS-specific file naming inside the song file for plugins like "filename=DSK Saxophones.dll". But there can be other aspects.
Of course I may accept the constraint of aligning plugins in terms of type (all VSTs) and versions.
But yet I do not see a strategy to jump across platforms when working on a song project.
For instance I use a Mac at home and a Win PC when outside and I would like to copy the current folder for a song to another device and restart from that.
Is there any suggested strategy or future plan to overcome such issue ?
