Is anyone aware of any 3rd party tools that allow you to convert ACD project files to another format (for use in another DAW)? I could have swore that I saw one that was in development a couple of years ago but I can't find it on the net anywhere. Obviously I'm asking because I want to move what I've done over the past few years into another DAW. Also, I am familiar with "bouncing the tracks"; I'm just hoping for something better than that.

Well, I found this

But of course, ACID isn't supported. The next DAW I switch to, it absolutely has to support an open standard (like XML) or something like OMF. It is ridiculous being land-locked into a DAW because vendors know its too burdensome to change. Ugh

OK, I give up...

The other app that was in the back of my mind was AATranslator, but like the other app, it doesn't support ACID.

Looks like old fashion wave bounces... :)
