OMF : Open Media File
Mainly used for film sound indeed.
This file can carry multiple sound tracks but also multiple video tracks..
It is meant to exchange audio/video tracks between video editing apps and sound apps ... for example exporting the sound from a film edit to go to the mix ... when you receive the omf you have all the tracks and clips from the edit session... most importantly it allows the mix engineer to have "handles" on the sound clip: enlarge the sound clip when necessary... it is hardly applicable for music since it only exports the sounds and their clip volume ... no track settings / pluggin information etc ... furthermore it is designed to work exclusively in 44.1/48 kHz @ 16 bits...
Versions available OMF 1.0 and OMF 2.0 ... Mostly used is v.2.0 since v.1.0 is often a little buggy ...
ciao !
