AATranslator was originally developed to take advantage of one of the best wave editors available, Adobe Audition®, when the result was to be mixed in a ProTools equipped facility.
It's ability to remove background noise from film dialogue tracks or chair squeaks from orchestral recordings with a minimum of sonic damage is almost certainly the best offered by any DAW. This combined with its multitrack capabilites makes it possible to work entirely in Audition which most Audition users do.
However, there may be commercial or practical reasons where it is necessary to move a session from one DAW to another.
AATranslator began in early 2009 with AES31, Samplitude's EDL, native Reaper support, Steinberg Track Archives (XMLs) from Cubase SX3, v4 & v5 as well as Nuendo v2, v3 & v4, and has now reached a point where it now converts more formats than any other similar application.
Enhancements are ongoing with lots of new formats and improvements currently under development.
* Now available version 5.2 (10 Jan 2012) *
Does AATranslator convert everything?
No, DAW/NLE capabilities vary so enormously that a complete conversion between every format will never be possible. Our priorities are Audio & (at least) one Video file.
Things like plugins, midi, time stretch, DAW specific grouping/folders/playlists etc are beyond what any session conversion program has offered so far.
In adding such capabilities we have gone much further than any other conversion program so far but........
To avoid disappointment we will happily convert a test session for you and answer any of your questions.
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)
A few comments from our users
So as a mixer you are going to receive a ptf. It is a deep feeling of loneliness but AAtranslator comes and gives you a big hug saying "here is your rpp, kid". Mim - France
It worked without a hitch. A great piece of software and worth every cent. Joe - Canada
If you do audio-post on anything...buy it. Daryl - Canada
* the 'standard' version does not support PT or OMF. If your conversions involve PT or OMF then you need to purchase the 'enhanced' version
Standard Version $59USD |
Enhanced Version $159USD (includes PT & OMF) |
Upgrade from Standard Version $100USD |
