AATranslator was originally developed to take advantage of Adobe Audition's excellent editing capability where the result was to be mixed in a ProTools equipped facility.
Since then we have continually improved AATranslator to the point where it now converts more formats (including PTF, OMF & AAF) than any other session conversion program.
So if you have either a commercial or practical reason that makes it necessary to move a session from one DAW to another then AATranslator is probably your best solution.
AATranslator is being constantly developed with additional formats and revisions to accomodate the latest versions of formats we already support.
* Version 5.6 is now available (18/3/13) - PTX conversion currently nearing release *
* Details on how to purchase AATranslator can be found at the bottom of this page *
Does AATranslator convert everything?
The short answer is no.
DAW/NLE capabilities vary so enormously that a complete conversion between every session format is impossible.
We do convert far more detail than any session conversion program has offered so far but we do not convert either plugins/fx or midi.
Our focus is audio plus one or more video tracks (download our conversion guide for more detail).
While we do extract audio from many video files if your session consists of mainly video files then it's advisable to contact us as to suitability.
We will happily convert a test session for you, answer any of your questions and possibly add the ability to convert even more 'video' formats.
We are here to help you but before you buy make sure it suits your needs because at this price there are no refunds.
AATranslator is a PC program but is known to run very well under emulators like Wine for Mac & Linux users (winetricks)
* the 'standard' version does not support ProTools (PT5, PTS or PTF), OMF or AAF.
If your conversions involve these formats then you need to purchase the 'enhanced' version *
Standard Version $59USD (does not include PT, OMF or AAF) |
Enhanced Version $199USD |
Upgrade from Standard Version $140USD |

"After converting a few PT sessions with AAT I never even thought about installing my copy of PT again. It's miles easier than even loading a song into PT and stemming."
