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. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: AATranslator <info(a)aatranslator.com.au> Date: Sun, Mar 17, 2013 at 10:02 PM Subject: AATranslator Release Version 5.6 To: AATranslator <info(a)aatranslator.com.au> 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.
