§ Honesty

Told straight, never silently dropped

From a .cpr: every track by name and type; MIDI parts with every note, at its position, length, velocity and channel; the tempo and the time signature. A .cpr’s mixer, plugins and automation aren’t read yet, so tracks arrive at unity gain and centre pan with no plugin chain, and the conversion report says so. Audio clips aren’t read from a .cpr yet: an audio track arrives empty, by name. On Cubase 14 or later, export a DAWproject instead (File › Export › DAWproject): Bitwig opens that file itself, with the audio and the mixer. Nothing is silently dropped: every conversion comes with a report of what changed.

§ Privacy

Your music stays yours

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.

§ Questions

Cubase to Bitwig: common questions

Can Bitwig Studio open a Cubase .cpr file?

Not as a native Bitwig project. Doseedo converts it: upload your .cpr and it writes a .dawproject (the open DAWproject format Bitwig Studio 5 or later imports) with every track, every MIDI note and the tempo map in place.

Do I need this on Cubase 14 or later?

No: Cubase Pro and Artist 14 and later export DAWproject themselves (File › Export › DAWproject), and Bitwig opens that file directly, with the audio and the mixer. This page reads the .cpr itself, so it is the route for a project saved by an earlier Cubase, or a .cpr you have without Cubase to export it: every track by name, every MIDI note, the tempo and time signature.

How do I export or transfer a Cubase project to Bitwig Studio?

People describe the same job five ways (export Cubase to Bitwig Studio, import a .cpr into Bitwig Studio, transfer the project, open a Cubase project in Bitwig Studio), and none of it needs stems. Upload the .cpr and it converts to a .dawproject Bitwig Studio imports with the tracks, every MIDI note and the tempo map intact.

What carries over from Cubase to Bitwig?

From a .cpr: every track by name and type; MIDI parts with every note, at its position, length, velocity and channel; the tempo and the time signature. A .cpr’s mixer, plugins and automation aren’t read yet, so tracks arrive at unity gain and centre pan with no plugin chain, and the conversion report says so. Audio clips aren’t read from a .cpr yet: an audio track arrives empty, by name. On Cubase 14 or later, export a DAWproject instead (File › Export › DAWproject): Bitwig opens that file itself, with the audio and the mixer.

Do my plugins transfer from Cubase to Bitwig?

A .cpr’s mixer, plugins and automation aren’t read yet, so tracks arrive at unity gain and centre pan with no plugin chain, and the conversion report says so. Nothing is faked: whatever doesn’t cross the Cubase–Bitwig boundary is named in the conversion report.

Why do I get a .dawproject and not a .bwproject?

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.

Is my project private?

Your project is uploaded over an encrypted connection into your own private space, converted, and is yours to delete anytime.
