The Soundscape software is a powerful audio only multi-track DAW Recorder/Player. Soundscape V6.2 has SSL's 'Pro-Convert' technology built in, so you are able to export recorded multi-track sessions for studio based editing and mixing using a 'Save As' command in the File Menu. This exports a range of formats that are compatible with a selection of popular DAW packages including; native Pro Tools 8 & 9 (.ptf) Sessions, Cubase/Nuendo Track Archives, Final Cut XML's and Samplitude/Sequoia Edit Lists. By default audio recordings are saved as Broadcast WAV files and of course these can also be accessed and used for more traditional approaches to project export if needed. Soundscape also provides session import from the same selection of supported DAW's and can be used as a Player for full multi-track sessions for live performance.
