[LAU] Fwd: AATranslator Release Version 5.6

[Brett McCoy]

New version of AATranslator is out. It's an indispensible tool for
moving sessions between different DAWs. It also supports
Ardour2/Mixbus & Ardour3 (read only for the latter) and runs very well
under Wine.

Hi,



As usual we have another release crammed full of improvements and
support for additional daw features. A lot of effort in this release
has been geared towards conversion of clip 'stretch' and clip 'pitch'
details and while we haven't covered every format that we support we
certainly have covered most.

To make things a little easier we also added 'drag 'n' drop' support
so you can just drag the supported file into the import window/pane
and you can also drag a folder into the 'location' window/pane and AAT
will change its current position to that folder.

Like most releases it has been months in the making and as always we
thank you for your continued support and once again reinforce our
commitment to our product so do not hesitate to contact us for
assistance or if you have concerns about our product or a particular
conversion.
