Help Needed: Unable to Drag Reaper Project into FMOD Events Tab

FMOD Studio
1

Greetings. Please, I need help with Reaper (7.27) integration to FMOD (2.02.23 version).

I followed the official guide step by step. It seems that all should work, but it doesn’t.
I can import a Reaper project into the “assets” tab (and I can see in the assets folder the relevant files from the Reaper render). But unfortunately, I can’t drag the Reaper project folder from “assets” to the “events” tab. FMOD does not allow me to do this.
I can drag and drop the Reaper project from the Windows Explorer folder straight to the “events” tab, but I get an error: FMOD can’t find audio files (but the audio files with relevant names are in the relevant path). If I ignore this error, I get a relevant timeline from the Reaper project with empty audio instances. They have correct the length and the correct order.
I can manually drag and drop the relevant WAV files from the Reaper folder, but it is not how it should work.

I’ll appreciate any help, cheers.

Have you installed the Reaper Timeline Exporter and used it to export a Reaper timeline (.timeline.fsprometa), as described in our documentation on the topic?

Hi, yes, of course I’ve installed this script and run it. And even I can drag the project file into the events tab and get my timeline in FMOD, but without audio regions (they are empty).

After some testing, I’ve been able to reproduce this issue. Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to identify its cause or find a workaround; I suspect it may be caused by a change in how our default event creation code references assets, but we’ll need to investigate further to know for sure.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. I’ve added it to our bug tracker.

For now, I’m afraid I can only suggest manually creating an event using the assets created in your Reaper project.
