I use AATranslater to move sessions between different DAWs, but it only
support Ardour2/Mixbus for import/export and Ardour3 for import only, as
far as open source session formats go. Easiest thing to do is to export all
stems (Ardour3 does this quite easily) and then just import those back into
another DAW as a group. Most will automatically align the tracks to session
start or to playhead/edit point.
