Opening a Show in Reaper or your DAW

Every Show is a plain folder of WAV files. Open its Reaper project, or drag the Stems into any DAW.

The Show folder

Each Show folder is named with its date and name, such as 2026-10-12 Sunday Service. A Show you didn't name gets the date and "Show", such as 2026-10-12 Show. Inside:

2026-10-12 Sunday Service/
  2026-10-12 Sunday Service.RPP
  Report.html
  Channels.csv
  Show.json
  Take 01/
    01 Kick.wav
    02 Snare.wav
    ...
    Take.json
  Take 02/
    ...
  • One folder per Take: Take 01, Take 02 and so on.
  • One Stem per USB Channel in each Take folder, named with the two-digit channel number and the channel's name: 03 Snare.wav. Without the Mixer Link, Stems are named by USB Channel number.
  • Take.json and Show.json are ShowRecorder's own notes on the Take and the Show. Leave them in place.

On Free, each Take folder holds the 2 USB Channels you chose. The Show report and the Reaper project are written for Takes recorded with Pro or the 14-day Trial.

The Stems

Each Stem is a mono, 24-bit Broadcast WAV at the Take's sample rate. Every Stem in a Take starts at the same sample and has the same length, so they line up when you drop them in at the same point. Each one also carries:

  • A time stamp: the date and time of day the Take's audio starts, counting its Pre-roll.
  • The channel's name in its description.
  • Your Markers as cue points.

The Reaper project

Open the .RPP file in Reaper. It has one track per USB Channel, named and colored from the mixer, with every Take placed one after another. Each Take's start and each of your Markers is a marker on the timeline.

The project finds its Stems relative to the Show folder, so you can move or copy the whole folder and it still opens.

The Show report

Report.html lists the Show's Takes, levels and any Gaps. Open it in any web browser. Channels.csv has one row per Take and USB Channel (Stem file, name, color, length and more) for a spreadsheet.

Getting the files off

  • Files app: Shows are under On My iPhone > ShowRecorder > Shows (or On My iPad).
  • AirDrop or another app: tap Shows, then tap Share on a Show to send the whole folder.
  • The Drive: if you record to a USB drive, plug it into your computer. The Drive Copy has the same layout.
