AATranslator - DAW Import/Export - Massive Price Cut! [Archive]

Runaway

07-23-2009, 02:30 AM

For those who don't know AATranslator is an application which can convert a session from one DAW to another and includes Reaper, Audition, Cubase, Nuendo, Vegas, Sequoia, Samplitude, Sadie, Pyramix, Logic, DAR, n-Track, Fairlight, Soundtrack and any that use OpenTL or AES-31.

We have spent over four months on this and are pretty happy with what we have achieved so far, however, it is clear that our abilities lay in analysis, design, programming & testing and not marketing or sales.

We think that AATranslator is a pretty good program. Sure its not perfect very few are (except maybe MediaSweeper) and for sure things are tough out there yet we still want everyone to be able to experience this application.
So before we move too much further down the ProTools conversion path and in the spirit of 'give a bit get a bit' we have decided to drop the price to $39USD!

But being good guys we have not only dropped the price but have offered all existing buyers of AATranslator a refund of the difference in their purchase price.

I don't think we could be any fairer than that!

While AATranslator makes no claims to converting everything it does do quiet a lot!

So download a copy, try it and then support us in supporting you.

Its a bit premature but we can successfully convert a ProTools v5 session file (originating from either PT or ProConvert) to Reaper, Audition, Samplitude, Vegas, Cubendo, etc,etc

An AATransalator version with PT support is not far away.

Hi.
I have some problems converting N4 XML to Audition. Sometimes it works, sometimes Audition says "Some wave files cannot be loaded because they where on a higher track number not supported by this version of Audition" ???
Any hints here?.
By the way did you update the manual? (know with N\C4 XML support?.
Anyway great little app. Glad I bought it.

Regards

I have just finished reviewing the updated manual so that should be uploaded hopefully within the next few hours - I didn't think anyone read those things anymore :-)

"sometimes Audition says "Some wave files cannot be loaded because they where on a higher track number not supported by this version of Audition" ???"
Yes I know why AA's not happy but this is an internal problem inthat AA hasn't recieved a particular piece of data for a 'clip'.

If you send me your XML via the AATranslator web site I will see what is causing the problem and hopefully either advise or apply a fix.

Remember AAT only exports/imports audio information it won't handle FX, EQ or midi data - mind you it shouldn't crash either.

Thanks for your support

Edit: Before exporting your Track Archive (XML) try 'dissolving parts' and avoid exporting midi data.
We have found that exporting midi data may lead to a crash and a fix will go out with the next release which will (hopefully) safely ignore the midi data. But avoid exporting it anyway.

As you may be aware Paul PT in its wisdom encrypted their session files from version 5.1 onwards. This was 'interpreted' by SSL/Proconvert and they are able to deal with PT versions up and including 7.??.

Perhaps feeling the need for a change PT the changed the encryption algorithm from v8 onwards essentially cutting out the competition.

All versions of PT can save and read sessions as version 5.

We currently have a beta version of AATranslator which reads ProTools version 5 session files (PT5) and hope to get that into production after a bit more testing. We will then (apart from working on other formats) will pursue an export to PT5 function.

The price may increase for PT support but certainly not for existing users.

Hey Mate!

PT 5x compatibility AND the automatic handling of the interleaved/dual mono nightmare would make AAT a freaking winner! I would love to support you guys, but I need PT<-->Nuendo and Nuendo<->FCP (i know you are win only now)....

The PT addition would be a winner mate....

An updated user documentation has been uploaded which covers the latest (v1.3) release.

PT5 is almost there and the first PT release will include a facility to import PT5 session files.
We do need more PT5 session files in order to expand our test bed. If anyone has some it would be appreciated........

It's probably only fair to let everyone know that with the PT release there may be a small price rise (still much cheaper than the opposition products of $800 & $500). Existing purchases at the time of release will naturally receive the upgrade for free.

Be advised.

Thanks again for those who have sent emails praising the product

any word on the handling of multi mono/interleaved stereo files between PT (multimono) and other DAWs (interleaved stereo)?

That is the killer for me now....I can do AAF well enough, but pt wont see any interleaved stereo files - they all need to be mono. If AAT could split any interleaved.wav file into interleaved.wav.L and interleaved.wav.R upon conversion to a PT session that would be huuuuuge...same with combining the wav.L and wav>r files back to one interleaved stereo file coming from PT to cubendo.....

Do you need the media for the PT sessions too? or just the session file? If so how big do you want them?

Sam AAT already has an option to split a stereo file into L & R mono files - so when we build the export to PT that's not really a problem.

Currently we are working towards finalising the import from PT function. There have been a few suggestions about having an option to combine 2 adjacent tracks into a single stereo track etc. Its just a matter of sorting out how to make the interface obvious rather than the actual 'doing'.

I'm keen to get some/any PT support into the app and out to our current users so I don't want to hold up the import feature because the export function not ready etc. So it may take 2 or 3 quick releases to get 'full' functionality happening - we'll see.

Short answer is that my UK partner John will make sure that I implement interleaved support :-)

As far as PT5 session files go - I don't need any audio - so a cross section of session files would be great.

Hi all, I'm the UK bit of AATranslator

I hear you Paul, but maybe you don't need PT8.
1) digi will doubtless make this as difficult as possible, so even SSL ProConvert is "challenged" to keep up with them & we who make a dam fine program at a tenth of it's cost have only system & programming skills, not code cracking ones.
2) The good news is digi do give the possibility to export & import using previous version of their session format.
PT5, is a good choice I believe, it offers all that OMF-2 does and doesn't require you to spend $800 to add this capability.

In converting from a PT concept to what everyone else does is always going to be a compromise. Eg the fact Digi is wedded to all files being mono and all the other DAW's do stereo interleaved files & mono too and that PT automation is track/timeline based everyone else offers far more, means in any conversion to PT one has to drop/compromise some of the host app's capabilities, sorry that is just the way it is!.

Some things to bear in mind
It is unrealistic to expect everything in a session/project to be the same on a 2nd computer, even if you are using the same program on the 2 machines!
Unless the 2 machines have exactly the same plug-ins, sound "card" CPU, configuration etc etc.

The DAW interchange formats like AES31, OMF, AAF concentrate on the Essentials: - eg correct part/clip/ region on the right named track & markers/cues too. For all the non-PT systems that have clip based gain and pan etc, translate that as well. Fades, volume & pan envelopes, yes but there are loads of ways of specifying these so they may not be 100% the same.

But when it comes to routing, plug-ins, FX sends/returns, MIDI, delay compensation. Trying to do this leads to madness, every DAW & every users set-up is soooo different this is just not a good idea.

Hi, Sam
As runaway says we do interleaved to .L & .R already.

Now 2 mono files as Stero works quite well in PT, IMO, but is a pain in most other app's.
I have investigated this quite a lot as far as formats we already do - see
http://www.aatranslator.com.au/
And my Vers 1.3 notes

Basically some DAW's Eg Reaper & Audition don't care a dam if a file is Stereo or Mono, Cubendo is a bit more "picky" - but kinda ok, look at the notes. I feel there may be a way to make PT --> Cubendo be able to retain Stereo files in an interleaved state - I'm on the case & I feel your pain.

Hi John,

Great to hear from you here! Welcome to Cubendo.com!

It all sounds very promising to me.

If you can get volume, pan, and keep the two sides of a stereo track on the same stereo track going between PT and Cubendo (just changing the ref'd file/s from interleaved to multimono and vice versa) - then you are on to a winner mate!!! Saving as PT5 is, as you mentioned, barely an issue - i usually do it anyways as best practice to ensure compatibility of some sort for any other places a session goes....

I dont think any of us needing transfer between PT would be too concerned about the price hit to get this functionality in there, if it less than 400-500 then you are still much cheaper than the competition!! :D

Keep well, happy coding boys!!!

Most of this sort of functionality (splitting Stereo to mono, copy/caching Stereo Files), is in place, the tricky bit is getting PT5 In/Out good & solid enough.

I have investigated this quite a lot as far as formats we already do - see
http://www.aatranslator.com.au/ And my Vers 1.3 notes

Basically some DAW's Eg Reaper & Audition don't care a dam if a file is Stereo or Mono, Cubendo is a bit more "picky".

We certainly know enough about various formats to be able to supply PT with it's xx.L & xx.R files and all the other DAW's with the same Stereo file but in far more normal/er(?) proper Interleaved form.

Finally isolated the split stereo clips in the PT5 file :-)

Just a bit of tidying up around track volume, track pan, clip lock and clip mute, finish the SD2 to WAV conversion as well as rejoining the split stereo files and the import side is good to go!

Sounds like a lot - its not - all the hard stuff for PT importing is done.

... finish the SD2 to WAV conversion
Yes he has, as the guy who can't code to save his life, but tests & tries to break Runaway's code & I reckon has a pretty good idea what is needed, I have tested this extensively & SD2 - Wav is done, and PC users you don't need any special Mac to PC app's like Mac-Drive to make sense of data & resource forks etc, as far as reading Mac style SD2 files go we have that sorted.

Sounds like a lot - its not - all the hard stuff for PT importing is done.
Well yes, but the amazing job runaway has done is mostly using ver 7 & 8 of PT, and if you PT user's are "on message" you will only have the latest version of course. But just to be sure we really do want as many PT5 file (both Mac & PC, cos they are different) as we can get.
Please, please, send us PT5 files to test.

please send these to info@aatranslator.com.au/
Ideally what we want is:-
1) tell us from what vers of PT you have exported your PT5 & if Mac or PC
2) BTW, no audio files needed
3) a screen grab/picture V much appreciated and will be Very useful [use PrtScn on a PC, or Mac, Apple -shift -3]

We have just finished an AGM and have come to the conclusion that we cannot maintain both development resources and the price cut so unfortunately the price cut MUST end with the next release.

The next release of AATranslator is very nearly ready. Just trying to finalise some on screen help and then we are good to go.
This release will see the addition of a Vegas XML import functionality and the ability to import a ProTools (v5) session file from both PC & MAC.

PT & Vegas XML export, Acid, Sonar and others are on our list to look at including.

Those who purchase before the next release will receive this amazing and useful piece of software for only $39USD including free upgrades.

When released the current $39USD discounted price will end and the price for the 'standard' version will return to $99USD.

The 'standard' version will have one limitation which is a restricted PT track count.
The 'enhanced' version will have full PT access and soon after an export to PT function. The 'enhanced' version will cost an additional $49USD.

If you are thinking of purchasing this software I urge you to do so before the next release while you can still get it for the bargain price of $39USD.

Even at $99 this is very good value but if you only ever use this application once or you think you may need to use it in the future buy it now before you have to pay more.

Hi!
Sure sounds interresting and tempting. But before I purchase I need some more info...

I'm curious to know if you have any multichannel plans. I read that you can split stereo interleaved to monos and other way around.
But in film post I have alot of interleaved quad, 5.0 and 5.1 etc. files. Will you (in the near future) add the same functionality to convert from interleaved multichannel to multi mono and other way around?
I'm working in a PT world with Nuendo 4 so this is important to me.

Bye / Tumppi

Short answer, no.
The thing is getting a conversion from Mono-centric DAW's & interchange formats like PT, Open TL & to some degree AES-31 to all the other Daw's where stereo as 2 mono files is a bit of a pain, is hard enough. Re Nuendo it has a particularly odd/ special way with Stereo, and we have worked hard to make this work, suggest you download the AATranslator notes and check this out. Sorry there is nothing yet re all the stuff we have done re PT, SD2 to wav etc - but later.
http://www.aatranslator.com.au/

But when it comes to multichan poly files there is absolutely no standard at all. You mention quad, 5.0 and 5.1, now the track layout for these is all over the place. And a major use these days in the film/tv world is the use of a file-based recorder like the Sound Devices 788t to record both individual mic outputs (or iso tracks) & a rough mix.
Now don't know if you know but SD have a great free app for both PC & Mac to split/combine multi-poly Wav's. IMO it is not appropriate to do this stuff in a conversion prog.

Sorry to hear this as I edit and premix a lot of Atmos and background stuff and I use interleaved multichannel files quite much. What I need is to get those to open in PT-world.

I know there is a minefield out there about what routing should interleaved multichannel files use. Nuendo is always (in good and bad) L,R,C,Lfe,Ls and Rs. So that should not be a problem.
But the files... Nuendo can use and create multichannel interleaved BWF files that use wave format extensible. Using files with this option files have data in them about what channel configuration it uses. So that can help also.

And also this could be achieved by naming your tracks in a systematic way.
Just mind storming here... You can quit reading here if you've had enough:eusa_angel:

If you know your work is to be moved to PT at some point of your project you could use the channel routing in the track names.
Like this:
track 1 is quad (L,R,Ls,Rs) track. SO name it --> LRLsRs_the name of the track
track 2 is LRC. So I name it --> LRC_and the name of the track.
From here the needed data could be taken to help route and name multichannel files correctly to monofiles...

This aplication you are working on is very promising and I really hope that it grows to meet my needs also someday (I quess it is not my needs only).

Well wave format extensible would be useful if only PT took any notice of it.
The truth is if you load say a 3 chan poly into PT it will create 3 mono files with .L .C & .R. added to the original file name. So for surround files from any thing other PT all the files bar Left will have the wrong channel ident. Hence the need for an external app like
http://www.sounddevices.com/download/waveagent.html
which can batch or individually convert your say Ex Nuendo 5.1 poly to a bunch of mono waves with the correct PT style labels. Or can reorder the channels to create a poly that suits the special needs of PT. Put simply the aim of translation prog is to take what is in 1 format & convert it to another and the information about what is on each chan of a poly is just not there to be read.

Lets say I edit atmos for a feature. It will be mixed in PT oriented re-recording studio. So I need to move my project to PT. And I have a lot of interleaved files from stereo to 5.1 in my project. Now I know that PT does not work with wave format extensible. That should not be a problem as I should deliver them a session that has no interleaved files. Only mono.
So a transfer application that converts my N4 session mentioned above to PT and splits interleaved files to monos is needed. Again... PT does not have to understand wave format extensible as the session it gets should have only mono files... I don't expect the transfer application to route tracks correct in PT session. But if the names of the tracks created in the transfer application would be tips for how to route it.

Those applications that simply splits my files are no good for me as I use interleaved files in my project. Not the splitted ones...

Just a quick note to let you know that version 2.0 has finally been released.

It has a totally rewritten installer so uninstall your old version first – after that any new versions will take care of upgrading things automatically.
The new version has a heap of fixes and enhancements including ‘tip of the day’ and some step by step guides.

It also has a Vegas XML import and for the ‘Standard’ edition a limited ProTools v5 import function (12 tracks, 4 clips or 4 audio files)
This was rather than force everyone to pay for ProTools functionality that they don’t need.
We have already started on a ProTools export function and we have import of Audition’s native SES files for v1.5, 2.0. 3.0 & some versions of Cool Edit Pro already running in beta versions.

A lot of effort has gone into this one so I hope you find it useful.

Lots more to come.

Its been a hard slog but a function to import an OMF2 file as well as Avid's ALE format are expected to be in that next release.

John Lundsten

Its been a hard slog to import an OMF2
Hard slog indeed, :eusa_think: as the beta tester for Runaway's work, I can say OMF is b**** hard.
Well, IMO, the OMF "Spec" is so dam "open" like, "can" but not "how" or just plain vague to give us what I am finding The probability that an OMF on Daw A won't work with DAW B.

I have some experience of using OMFI, & know the pain.

Which is why I suggested the best way to get stuff into PT was to use PT5 format, ok, I'm wrong in that it seems the World is convinced (but why! it beats me) that OMF is Pro, proper way to go,or what is needed.
So, now, for sure we are trying hard to make it work.

We have of course been checking out what does/does not "come across in the various implementations of OMF.

Here is a short list of what seems possible (has been implemented) with various DAW's (or using Digidesign Software)

Logic Mac & Logic PC
No vol envelopes,Pan envelopes or clip gain

Avid
has vol Pan & clip gain

DigiTranslator2
has Vol,Clip gain,No pan

DigiTranslator1
NoVol, No pan, has Clip gain

Digi OMF Tool
No vol Pan or clip gain

Nuendo2, Nuendo3
Just clip gain

Digital Performer
has Vol, No pan NO Clip gain,

Sonar
No vol Pan or clip gain. Need to remove any overlaps

Ensonic Paris
No vol Pan or clip gain. Need to remove any overlaps

AMS Audiofile
no vol Pan or clip gain

So explain to me people, why is OMF such a "Must Have?"

But fear not, everyone, we will get OMF support for AATranslator, we know PT is the most "important" DAW, so Aim to support all it does - but it is stupendously hard to do.

Ok thanks to JL's prompt and thorough job with the doco & testing AATranslator v2.2 is now available (don't all rush at once).

We managed to get a pretty good translation of most OMF dialects as well as the OpenTL format.

We had a lot of problems converting Avid Media Composer Omfs and we intend to try and rectify that in a later version but there is a warning to that effect when an Avid omf is detected. This was mainly due to the 'different' way in which they work internally plus we were unable to get enough Avid omfs for testing.

Anyway its there and after a few bourbons (or some Irish Whiskey) its back into it for the next version.

As always before parting with your hard earned cash test this application for its suitabilty to cater for your translation needs

Version 3.2 is now finally available

Lots of improvements across the board including adding track automation.

We still have a couple of issues with the way Steinberg track automation points eg volume are derived. Have tried all the usual formulae so if we could get some input from someone in the know it would certainly help us provide that functionality to our Cubendo conversions.

Already working on our next release.

We have finally got Cubendo track automation sorted out and this as well as even more OMF improvements will be available shortly in our next release.

A quick update:-

Version 4.0 at one point was finalised but somehow we just didn’t know when to stop adding features and fixing bugs.
Though I suspect that the pain in my head should have given some indication.

Well all this fun must come to an end and somehow get this version out to you so we decided that Xmas eve will be that date!

Even right up to the date we will still be adding features and carrying out testing and yes even updating documentation but no matter what we will get version 4.0 out on Xmas eve.

Version 4.0 contains many small and large improvements but the highlights are:
* Import ProTools session files (ptf) for versions 7, 8 & 9
* Ron Novy's eagerly sought OMF export function now included. AAT will export OMF as either embedded or reference and will cater for both aif & wav media.
* Import Samplitude VIP session files
* Improved fade type conversions across most formats
* We have also added improved conversions between Reaper, Samplitude & Audition. Specifically we now convert routing (bus/aux), clip groups and fade types.
We will add this functionality to other formats in subsequent releases.

Registered users will be contacted on Xmas eve.
