WineBottler 1.8 Run Windows-based Programs on a Mac. WineBottler packages Windows-based programs like browsers, media-players, games or business applications into snuggly Mac app-bundles.
- WineBottler is very outdated, slow to update to new versions of Wine, and not friendly for even intermediate access to your Wine wrapper/prefix let alone advanced stuff. They try to stick to stable releases and test a bunch before updating, causing even more disparity with the more consistently updated Wine-based projects.
- Software installers are usually named something like setup.exe or install.exe, but application files go by unique names, usually relative to the software program's name. For example, when you download the Firefox web browser, the installer is named something like Firefox Setup.exe, but once installed, the program opens with the firefox.exe file located in the program's installation directory.
AATranslator was originally developed to take advantage of Adobe Audition's excellent editing capability where the result was to be mixed in a ProTools equipped facility.
Since then we have continually improved AATranslator to the point where it now converts more formats (including PTF, PTX, OMF & AAF) than any other session conversion program.
So if you have either a commercial or practical reason that makes it necessary to move a session from one DAW to another then AATranslator is probably your best solution.
AATranslator is being constantly developed with additional formats and revisions to accomodate the latest versions of formats we already support.
* Current version 6.4.0 released on 23/12/2020 *
(Latest beta version available on request to registered users)

Winebottler For Mac Catalina
Does AATranslator convert everything?
The short answer is no.
DAW/NLE capabilities vary so enormously that a complete conversion between every session format is impossible.
We do convert far more detail than any session conversion program has offered so far but we do not convert either plugins/fx or midi.
Our focus is audio plus one or more video tracks (download our conversion guide for more detail).
While we do extract audio from many video files if your session consists of mainly video files then it's advisable to contact us as to suitability.
We will happily convert a test session for you, answer any of your questions and possibly add additional functionality.
* Check out Raymond Radet's tutorial on converting a Premiere CS6 session to Reaper using AATranslator *
To check if AATranslator suits your needs we are happy to run a test conversion before you buy.
AATranslator is a PC program but is known to run very well under emulators like Wine, WineBotteler, Crossover, etc for Mac & Linux users (winebottler)
Mac users can contact us for detailed installation instructions as well as a discount code for CrossOver by Codeweavers
CrossOver is required if you are running Catalina
