SAW EDL Investigator

For all versions of SAW up to SAWStudio

Have you ever needed to document a SAW session? Wished that you could merge 2 EDL files together?
Wanted to create new sound files from the regions in an EDL file?
Dreamt of removing the "dead wood" from an EDL?

SAW EDL Investigator is an enhancement product for the SAW hard disk editing system. The SAW EDL Investigator displays, saves and prints all the information saved inside your EDL files. That includes sound files, regions, markers, track lists and FX settings. The Investigator is highly customized through tabbed preference settings - so you only need to display the information you want to see.
