Convert UAX to A3S

Understanding uax and a3s file formats

UAX files are Unreal Audio Package files used by Unreal Engine games, primarily for storing sound effects, music, and other audio assets. These files are proprietary to the Unreal Engine and are not standard audio formats.

A3S files are less common and are typically associated with Adlib Tracker II, a music tracker for creating and playing music using OPL2/OPL3 FM synthesis. The A3S format is used for storing song data and instrument settings.

How to convert uax to a3s

Direct conversion from UAX to A3S is not straightforward, as these formats serve different purposes and are used in different software ecosystems. However, you can extract audio from a UAX file and then import or recreate it in Adlib Tracker II as an A3S file.

1. Extract audio from UAX: Use Unreal Package Extractor or UTPT (Unreal Tournament Package Tool) to extract WAV or other audio files from the UAX package.
2. Convert or import audio to A3S: Open Adlib Tracker II and use the extracted audio as a reference to recreate the music or sound in the tracker. Save your project as an A3S file.

Recommended software for conversion

• Unreal Package Extractor or UTPT for extracting audio from UAX files.
• Adlib Tracker II for creating and saving A3S files.

There is no automated tool for direct UAX to A3S conversion due to the differences in file structure and intended use. Manual extraction and recreation are required.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open your UAX file in UTPT or Unreal Package Extractor.
2. Extract the desired audio files (usually in WAV format).
3. Launch Adlib Tracker II.
4. Use the extracted audio as a reference to compose or recreate the music in Adlib Tracker II.
5. Save your project by selecting File → Save As and choosing the A3S format.

Summary

While there is no direct UAX to A3S converter, you can extract audio from UAX files and use Adlib Tracker II to create A3S files manually. This process requires both extraction and music composition skills.
