We have the ALS files down pat - what does the .adg file do?
Send me one of these files and I will check it out

Send it via the aatranslator web site

hmmm... how does it deal with 'warped' audio clips..? (it would be great to be able to transfer to Vegas for video renders) Apologies for not being around lately but life and AAT just seem to get in the way. Been a while since I passed by but our next release (on St Patrick's Day) has this feature....

Send me the als file (via the aatranslator web site) and I will see what I can do (no promises).

It's been a while - been real busy. While we have had a couple of releases since my last post I thought I'd give you a quick update as to what we are working on. Currently we are adding the ProTools PTF format to our export options. We have a version in beta which is showing great promise. Still hav...

Just thought I'd add that we are currently working on adding functions to read FCP-X (fcpxml) and AAF files. Edit: And I'll add that we have looked at AAFs produced by Logic, Vegas, PT and Media Composer and not only are they either subtley (or in MC's case totally) different neither reads the other...

hmmm... how does it deal with 'warped' audio clips..? (it would be great to be able to transfer to Vegas for video renders) OMF itself has no mechanism for relaying that information however it is possible (though we haven't implemented it) to convey this info to some limited formats that we support...

I probably forgot to mention that we did get it finished and released it a couple of weeks ago.
So if you are thinking that this is something that you need then contact me via the aatranslator web site and I'm happy to run a test conversion to OMF (or any other format) for you.

Spent some time working on this and apart from the usual clip location etc have now finished converting fades, track Automation (volume & pan), bpm, locators/markers/cues. So the next version of AATranslator will now seamlessly convert to/from Live v8 (ALS) to/from all the usual formats PT, OMF,...

We currently have the AATranslator export function (ALS to ???) being tested and the import function (ALS from ???) is a fair way into development.

Won't take too long.

Finally got around to working on converting the Ableton v8 ALS format and have a big chunk working already. So pretty soon the functionality will be available to convert from Ableton to PT, OMF, Vegas, Audition, Reaper, Nuendo and a whole lot more. More to come.... Edit: Once that's nailed we will w...

As promised we have started having a look at Ableton but its a bit more complicated in that there seems to be 2 versions of session formats. The current zipped xmls of v8 and some other format which I haven't got hold of yet. We currently have a backlog of formats that we have requests for and each ...

This is a topic which interests me greatly.

As dr_rock astutely worked out the new als files are indeed compressed xml files.
Unfortunately I only have the latest version of Live but I would be very interested in having a look at examples of these earlier als files
