Ableton → Bitwig. Drop an Ableton Live .als project and get a .dawproject Bitwig Studio imports — the real session rebuilt, not bounced to stems.
Full walkthrough: How to convert your session to another DAW
Every track, clip and note — written into a .dawproject Bitwig imports, not flattened to stems.
Tracks with their names, colours, volume, pan, mute and solo; groups as bus tracks; return tracks as FX channels fed by every send; the tempo and time-signature maps; markers; MIDI clips with every note; audio clips with their files inside the .dawproject. VST3, VST2 and AU plugins go into the file with their saved state, and Live’s EQ Eight, Compressor, Gate and Limiter become the format’s built-in equivalents with their settings; anything else is named in the report. Automation isn’t promised on this pair yet — the report lists what came across. Nothing is silently dropped — every conversion comes with a report of what changed.
Local conversions stay right in your browser — your session never leaves your computer, nothing uploaded, nothing stored. Uploaded sessions move over an encrypted connection into your own private space, with access only you control, and yours to delete anytime.
Not as a native Bitwig project — Doseedo converts it: upload your .als — or zip the whole project folder (.als + Samples/) so the audio travels with it — and it writes a .dawproject — the open DAWproject format Bitwig Studio 5 or later imports — with the tracks, MIDI, audio and tempo map in place.
Bitwig’s own .bwproject format isn’t publicly documented, and a file we can’t be sure opens would only look like a conversion. DAWproject is the open project format Bitwig and PreSonus created together; Bitwig Studio 5 or later imports it, and Cubase 14+ reads it too. The download is that one file, with the audio inside it.
People describe the same job five ways — export Ableton Live to Bitwig Studio, import an .als into Bitwig Studio, transfer the project, open an Ableton Live project in Bitwig Studio — and none of it needs stems. Upload the .als and it converts to a .dawproject Bitwig Studio imports with tracks, MIDI, audio and the tempo map intact.

Nothing is faked: whatever doesn’t cross the Ableton–Bitwig boundary is named in the conversion report.
Your project is uploaded over an encrypted connection into your own private space, converted, and is yours to delete anytime.
