The File Extensions Database
The ASD file extension is a data format associated to Microsoft Word. ASD files and Microsoft Word were developed by Microsoft. These files contain a snapshot or backup copy of the currently opened Word document. An ASD file is a fairly common file format that few people actually know is on their computer. Designed by Microsoft, ASD is a Microsoft Word automated backup file. While Word is open and being used, it will periodically save an ASD file. They are typically never used and the older ASD files are removed. A.asd file contains a snapshot or backup copy of the currently opened Word document by the AutoRecover tool of Microsoft Word. It is usually used to recover unsaved Word files due to a power outage, crash, or system failure. In general, the.asd files can be opened with Microsoft Word 2010 in Microsoft Windows-based Systems.

File Type 2:Ableton Live Sample Analysis File
File created by Ableton Live, an audio production application; created when a new sample is recorded or when a sample is imported for the first time; contains metadata about the audio sample that 1) enables the software to display waveform data, and 2) speeds up performance when stretching the sample to fit a particular meter.
Ableton Live creates ASD files in the same directory as the recorded or imported sound clip. The ASD filename is the sound clip filename with the '.asd' extension added. For example, if you import song.wav, the software creates song.wav.asd.
NOTE: If you do not want Ableton Live to create ASD files, turn off the 'Create Analysis Files' option, which is located in the 'File Folder' tab of the Preferences window.
