whirlwind

whirlwind is a collaborative Reaper project sync tool for podcast co-editors. It helps a small team keep project files in sync through Cloudflare R2-backed storage.

Reaper Users

This project uses local paths for media. To make sure you are using local media paths in Reaper, see this recommendation from the docs:

In Options > Preferences > Project and check "Save project file references with relative pathnames". This ensures all media files are stored within the project folder.
