Sharing Live Sets w/ Non-Live Users

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Unfortunately not all of my friends who'd I'd like to collaborate with on music are enlightened Live users like us all ;). I am trying to figure out the easiest way to share a Live Set, or at least subset of it. Is there a way to export, say, the arrangement view to some neutral format that could be opened in programs like Garage Band or even Protools? I'm not looking for miracles here, I'm not even hoping for getting automation data included in the export. The main thing I am looking for is to keep each track seperated, not mixed together in one AIFF/WAV.

The only way I have been able to figure to do this is solo each track and export it by hand. Bleh, not a very efficient way to share a song.

I've googled around and searched the forums, haven't been able to find anything that talks about this. Maybe it's just not really possible?

Thanks in advance!

No, it isnt possible at the time...

Maybe you can put it on the wishlist!? OMF making capabilities like logic/PT/Qbase...

I think you can export each track separately as wav/aiff all at once in Live 6?

Cool I didn't know that was a possibility, I tried it and it works.

1. File --> Render to Disk
2. Render Track: All Tracks

That outputs each track to it's own wav/aiff, I then just dragged and dropped all the AIFF files at once into Garageband, it automatically put each AIFF on it's own track...so when I hit play in Garageband the song sounded fine. Automation was mixed into the sound files (obviously).

Guess this is how I'll have to do it then, thanks.
