alt Hacker NewsAt least the Reaper has a quite readable "rpp" XML project file. So this probably works nicely. Other that that, versioning DAW projects is a pure hell. It would require to version control all samples, plugins, configurations, etc. I don't really see an easy way to do it.

It'd be cool to see something like the recent Automerge/Godot thing built into a music making application.

That’s why I said it should fall on the daw. They can serialise their own settings, including the plugins used and its versions, and have a common interface for plugins to expose and restore a serialisation of its internal setup.
I dont think it’s trivial at all, but exposed with a basic ui it could be a killer feature.
Hell, as a POC even simply saving everything internally on each “commit” could be a UX improvement, so you can move easily between “save points” of the project without going the “V2_final_forreal folder” route.
