- Import the .cha files into Elan
- Export from Elan as tab-delimited text
- Import into Rezonator, using the appropriate Import pathway
- Test the quality of the imported data: Does it look right?
- Test by annotating some of the data in Rezonator (for Rez chains, Track chains, Stacks, etc.)
- Save the .rez files
- Test the .rez files by opening them, see if everything looks like what you saved
- Convert the audio files from .mp3 to .ogg (required by GameMaker Studio)
