DAW that supports AAf format?
DAW that supports AAf format?
Hi, new to the forum and Auria. Can you suggest a DAW that will enable me to work on tracks created in Auria. Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. Thanks.

Hello,
Most major DAWs support some form of AAF import. ProTools, Logic, Nuendo, and Digital Performer all support AAF Import/Export.

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
Thanks Chris. I have an older Sonar (2.1) that I'm not having any luck with. Not sure I want to upgrade that if they don't support AAF. More homework for me. ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
I'm looking out for Presonus Studio One and apparantly it doesn't support aaf either, which is meh.
Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
We chose to go with AAF, because it's the most supported among DAWs (Pro Tools, Nuendo, Sonar, Logic, Digital Performer all support it). The only other popular format is OMF, but it's outdated, and there are a lot of compatibility problems. I'm not sure there's another format out there to support...

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
I've been a Cakewalk Sonar user for a few years and when Auria was released I found out they DON'T support AAF. I purchased Auria anyway (and love it) but notice Sonar listed as supporting AAF here. FYI - here's to hoping I am wrong though!
Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
Purchased Auria yesterday, spent much of today digesting the manual. Love the eq! However I've come to the sad realization that in order to export AAF from Pro Tools 8.0.5 I need to purchase DigiTranslator. A cool $495. PT 9 and 10 come with Translator built in. Can anyone comment on this and hopefully tell me I'm mistaken?
Thanks, Jim

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
Sorry, but you are right. You have to do that with Pro Tools 8.0.5. I'd prefer to upgrade to Pro Tools 10 instead of buying DigiTranslator.
Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
I'm no expert, but I've used Pro Tools LE on practically a daily basis since a few months after its initial release. That's what, 14-15 years? And in that time I've never had occasion to export to AAF or OCF.
I'm very impressed with Auria. But one of its big selling points was the ability to import/export AAF to and from other DAWS. Pro Tools was often cited as one of those DAWS. I realize Wavemachine isn't responsible for Avid, but how much trouble would it have been to state that AAF exporting from Pro Tools is dependent on DigiTranslator?
Oh, and $500 for Translator vs $600 for Pro Tools 10 isn't a choice I want to make.

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
As far as I know, only Pro Tools has support for AAF, not Pro Tools LE. I don't know if this is still true for the latest version of LE, but LE has traditionally not supported AAF. The last few versions of Pro Tools (starting with 7 I believe) did not require Digi Translator, as AAF support has been built in.

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
You're partially right. The last two versions of Pro Tools don't require DigiTranslator, but those two versions were 9 and 10. Pro Tools 8 LE (the last version of LE) requires it, and it presently is sold in the Digi (Avid) store for $495. Ebay prices swing wildly from $495 down to around $70.Rim wrote:As far as I know, only Pro Tools has support for AAF, not Pro Tools LE.

I suppose another way to export sessions from Pro Tools 8 LE into Auria is one track at a time into, say, Dropbox?

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
Please help!! One of the most important reasons I purchased Auria was that it claimed to communicate/transfer files including edits with all major DAWs including ProTools & Ableton. Now I learn this may not be the case!?!? If it cannot be thru the AAF format, then what is the process? I am currently & primarily interested in loading a large Auria project (almost an hour recorded on 16 tracks) into Ableton.

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
Hello,
Ableton does not support the AAF file format--your best bet is to export your project as individual WAV files and import them into Ableton. You can do this easily by bouncing 'stems' in the Auria mix down dialogue, which will bounce a full-length WAV file for each track.

Re: DAW that supports AAf format?
I am having trouble re-loading whole projects into Auria, either with the "project" extension or AAF. Do I have to zip "projects" first and, if so, how do I do that? Projects saved as AAF seem to reload OK but many of the regions are gray (?) and will not not play any audio. The wave forms are there and a little speaker icon is included in each frayed region with an X. ???
