Between DAWs

The one nobody else does. Not an interchange file that flattens the session: the project rebuilt in the destination format.

Inspect a project

Before you open someone else's project: the plugins it needs, the audio that did or did not come with it, tempo and key, read in your browser, nothing uploaded.

Every direction

Ten DAW formats, 75 directions. The five core DAWs work as both source and destination in every pairing; GarageBand projects convert out to all of them; Studio One, Bitwig and Cubase convert both ways, written as a .dawproject they import; Dorico reads and writes MusicXML.

What carries over, and what cannot

Tracks, regions, MIDI, automation, tempo and meter maps, markers, buses and sends all carry, and third-party effects travel as themselves, settings intact. Stock plugins are the honest limit: Logic's ChromaVerb and Live's Glue Compressor are different software, and no converter can make one become the other. Where a close equivalent exists it is mapped; where none does, the device still lands on the right track rather than being silently dropped, so you know exactly what to rebuild. The field-by-field account is on the breakdown.

Questions

Can you convert a Logic Pro project to Ableton Live?

Yes. Upload a zipped .logicx and Doseedo rebuilds it as a native Ableton .als: tracks, MIDI, automation, tempo and meter maps, markers, buses and sends all arrive editable. A real project conversion, not a stem bounce.

Can you convert an Ableton Live project to Logic Pro?

Yes, both directions, from the same engine. Drop an .als and you get a native .logicx. The direction is detected from the file you upload.

Can you convert FL Studio or REAPER projects?

Yes. A .flp or .rpp converts to a native project in any of the other DAWs, and every DAW converts back to a native .flp or .rpp. REAPER to and from Logic and Ableton is a deep direction: items with their offsets, gain, fades, playrate, loops and takes, pooled MIDI, the tempo and meter maps, folders, sends, envelopes and VST/VST3/AU plugin state all carry, and ReaEQ, ReaComp, ReaDelay, ReaVerbate, ReaLimit and ReaSamplOmatic5000 map to Live’s stock devices with their settings. Out of FL Studio, clip offsets, gain and fades, the tempo and meter maps, mixer routing as groups and returns, volume and pan automation, third-party inserts with their state and FL’s stock mixer effects as native devices with their settings all carry. Into FL Studio, third-party AU/VST3/VST2 instruments and effects arrive as the same plugin with their settings, but no stock effect from another DAW maps to FL’s yet, and plugin-parameter automation is reported rather than carried. FL to Ableton → REAPER to Logic →

Can you convert Pro Tools sessions?

Yes. A Pro Tools .ptx (or legacy .ptf/.pts from Pro Tools 5–9) session converts to a native Logic, Ableton, FL Studio or REAPER project, and every DAW converts back to a native Pro Tools session. Upload the zipped session folder so the Audio Files travel. MIDI notes, CC, pitch bend, aftertouch, program changes and the key signature cross both ways; audio clips keep their clip gain, fades and crossfades; alternate playlists arrive as take lanes, clip groups expand, folders carry both ways, VCAs are read (real VCAs in REAPER, folded elsewhere) and hidden or inactive tracks stay hidden or muted. To and from Logic, Ableton and REAPER, buses and sends arrive as real routing, mixer and plugin automation lanes carry, and EQ3, Dyn3 and D-Verb map to each DAW’s stock devices with their settings; FabFilter and iZotope settings bridge between Logic AU and Pro Tools AAX. Not yet: Waves, Soundtoys and Native Instruments settings, VCAs written into Pro Tools, and the FL Studio directions carry the arrangement and volume/pan automation without plugin chains or sends. Pro Tools to Logic → Logic to Pro Tools →

Can you convert GarageBand, Studio One or Bitwig projects?

Yes. A GarageBand project (zip the .band package first) converts to Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, Pro Tools or REAPER: tracks, MIDI notes, tempo, levels and audio regions carry, while Apple’s own instrument sounds stay in GarageBand, so each instrument track arrives with its notes and the patch name. A Studio One .song, and any .dawproject (Bitwig Studio’s DAWproject export, or Studio One’s or Cubase’s) converts to all five too. Going the other way, every one of them converts into a .dawproject that Studio One / Fender Studio Pro (6.5+) or Bitwig Studio (5+) imports, never a native .song or .bwproject, whose formats aren’t published. Automation isn’t promised on these pairs yet, and every conversion reports what didn’t cross. Studio One to Logic → Logic to Bitwig → GarageBand to Ableton →

Do I need both DAWs installed?

No. The conversion works on the project file itself, so you can open an .als without owning Live, or a .logicx without owning Logic. You only need the destination DAW to open the result.

Do plugins and instruments carry over?

Stock devices map to the destination DAW's native equivalents with their core controls intact, and third-party effects arrive as the same plugin with its settings. Third-party instruments arrive on the right track but load at factory defaults going into Live, deliberately, because a patch recalling a sample library the other machine doesn't have can crash Live on open. Nothing is silently dropped. See which plugins a set needs before you open it.

Is it free?

3 conversions a month with no account; a free account gets 120 credits a month and Pro 2,000 (a conversion is 1 credit), every plan at full fidelity. Reading an .als in your browser is free and unlimited, because nothing is uploaded to read it.

What is a DAW converter?

Software that reads one DAW’s project file and rebuilds it as another DAW’s native project, with tracks, clips, MIDI, automation, tempo map and markers as editable objects, as opposed to bouncing stems or passing an AAF/OMF that carries audio placement only. Doseedo is a DAW converter for ten DAW formats (Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools and REAPER in every direction between them, plus GarageBand, Studio One, Bitwig (DAWproject), Cubase and Dorico): 75 directions, the same tool people look for as a DAW project converter, a DAW file converter, a session converter or a DAW-to-DAW converter.

Is there a free DAW converter online?

Yes, this one. It runs in the browser with nothing to install: 3 conversions a month free with no account; a free account gets 120 credits a month and Pro 2,000 (a conversion is 1 credit), every plan at full fidelity. You don’t need the source DAW installed; you need only the destination DAW, to open the result.

Which DAW project file formats can be converted?

Logic Pro .logicx, Ableton Live .als (Live Sets), FL Studio .flp, Pro Tools .ptx (and legacy .ptf/.pts) and REAPER .rpp (written Logic Pro X, Live, Fruity Loops, PT and Reaper as often as not), each as a source and as a destination, in every direction between them (20 of the 75). Each direction has its own page, and this one lists them. Upload a zipped project or session folder so the audio travels with it. Beyond those five: a GarageBand .band (zipped) converts to any of them; Studio One .song projects and any .dawproject (the open format Bitwig Studio, Studio One and Cubase all export) convert both ways, with Studio One and Bitwig receiving a .dawproject they import; a Cubase .cpr converts in, and out as a .dawproject Cubase 14+ imports; Dorico’s MusicXML converts in, and out comes MusicXML.
