What is a SES file?
Files with the .SES extension contain data of an audio project - references to songs and the mixing settings of each of them.
The SES format was originally developed for Syntrillium Software's Cool Edit Pro audio editing software, which was acquired by Adobe in 2003, with the first version of Adobe Audition being released in the same year. This program supported SES files up to Adobe Audition version CS5.5, after which the XML-based SESX project format was introduced. However, you can easily convert SES files to SESX with the help of the Ses2Sesx tool.

How to open SES files
If you cannot open the SES file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports SES among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the SES file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the SES format files
The inability to open and operate the SES file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Adobe Audition Session Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a SES file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the SES file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the SES from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the SES format
- The SES file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the SES file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a SES file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the SES file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the SES file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the SES file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.
How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.SES) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected SES file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the SES file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. SES) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
