Anyone still using Loco/Titan? Need to do some re-assembly

[syncspot]

Just about to start a feature and the video editor used that nasty two track mixdown coming from the location mixer and I need to re-assemble the timeline using the 24/48 multichannel audio. The problem is that he started each new sound reel with a new timecode hour (reel 1 is 01:00:00:00, reel 2 is 02:00:00:00, reel 13 is 13:00:00:00, etc). I would like to try out Assemblerator but from what I understand, I wouldn't be able to spot any audio that goes past 12:00:00:00 to its original timestamp due to the 12 hour limitation in Pro Tools. I know that I can just have a different session start time to allow for this but Assemblerator will want to paste the audio way back down in the 1 hour mark. Is there a way around this?

I have seen it said here in the DUC that some of you use Final Cut to do a re-conform. How exactly does that work? I have been given audio-only EDL's and I also have the location audio with metadata intact. If I can re-link the audio in FCP, will the resulting OMF have the other channels available once I get it into Pro Tools?

Does anyone here still use Titan/Loco? Their websites haven't been updated in years and I assume the same can be said for the software itself. They are quite expensive and I don't want to make a wrong move.

Any advice/tips you guys can give me would be most appreciated. Thanks so much.

Titan will certainly do the trick, and the guys at SynchroArts are very helpful in getting users through messes. Talk to them before purchasing, as it ain't cheap, but the service is legendary.

Consider Editrace--it has done great conforms for me.

Have you looked at Virtual Katy? It's available for Protools but only works as a glorified macro so isn't the ideal solution.
