§ Plugins

Your plugins come with you

Third-party effects arrive as the same plugin with the same settings. Stock devices map to the target DAW's native equivalent, and anything that can't be matched still lands on its track. Nothing is silently dropped.

§ 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.

Convert .logicx to .als

Logic Pro saves a project as a .logicx package; Ableton Live saves a Live Set as an .als file. So a Logic to Ableton converter, converting .logicx to .als (LOGICX to ALS), turning a Logic file into an Ableton file, opening a Logic project in Ableton Live, importing a Logic project into Ableton, exporting Logic to Ableton, and moving, transferring or migrating a project from Logic Pro to Ableton Live all name this one conversion, and it runs here, free to start, online, with nothing to install.

FromLogic Pro (also written Logic, Logic Pro X or Logic Pro 11): a project saved as a .logicx package (a folder macOS shows as one file).
ToAbleton Live (also written Ableton, Live, Ableton Live 11 or Ableton Live 12): a Live Set saved as an .als file, with its audio in the project folder’s Samples/.

§ Questions

Logic to Ableton: common questions

Can you open a Logic file in Ableton?

Not directly. Ableton Live can't open a Logic .logicx project, because .logicx is an Apple-only package format. Doseedo converts it: upload your .logicx (zip the project folder first) and it rebuilds the session as a native Ableton .als set you can open and keep working in.

How do I export or transfer a Logic Pro project to Ableton Live?

People describe the same job five ways: export Logic Pro to Ableton Live, import a .logicx into Ableton Live, transfer the project, open a Logic Pro project in Ableton Live. And none of it needs stems. Upload the .logicx and it converts to a native .als that opens in Ableton Live with tracks, MIDI, audio and the tempo map intact. Want to check the project first? Open the .logicx in your browser and play it before converting.

What carries over from Logic to Ableton?

Audio and instrument/MIDI tracks with names and colors, clips with fades and clip gain, MIDI notes, CC and pitch bend, tempo, time signature and tempo/meter maps, section markers, volume/pan/breakpoint automation, and buses and sends. Core compressor, reverb and delay parameters map to Ableton's native devices, and off-rate audio is resampled to your Ableton project's sample rate so pitch and speed stay correct.

Do my plugins transfer from Logic to Ableton?

Stock compressor, reverb and delay devices are recreated as Ableton's nearest native equivalent with their core controls carried across. Third-party effects transfer as the same plugin with their saved state. Third-party instruments arrive on the right track but load at factory defaults, deliberately, because a Kontakt patch recalling a sample library the receiving machine doesn't have can crash Live on open. Full instrument state round-trips through the Doseedo desktop app.

Do automated converters lose automation, buses, or third-party plugins?

Many do. Doseedo rebuilds them: volume, pan and breakpoint automation lanes carry over, buses and sends arrive as real routing, and third-party effects transfer as the same plugin with their saved state. Stock devices map to Ableton’s nearest native equivalent. The honest limits: no tool translates a preset between different plugin formats, and third-party instruments load at factory defaults going into Live; full instrument state round-trips through the Doseedo desktop app.

Is my project private?

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

How many conversions are 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. No watermark, cancel in one click. One conversion is one project translated one direction; a round-trip is two.

How do I convert .logicx to .als?

Zip the .logicx package (right-click it in Finder → Compress) and drop the zip on the converter above (the direction is read from the file), then download the .als and open it in Ableton Live. The .logicx isn't renamed or wrapped: the project is rebuilt as a native Ableton Live project, with tracks, clips, MIDI, tempo map and markers in place.

Is there a free Logic to Ableton converter online?

Yes, this page. It runs in the browser on macOS, Windows, ChromeOS or Linux 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 Logic Pro installed to convert; you need Ableton Live to open the result.

Can I open a Logic file in Ableton Live, or import a .logicx into it?

Not directly. Ableton Live has no .logicx import and Logic Pro has no .als export; both formats are proprietary. Converting the project here rebuilds it as a native .als, and Ableton Live then opens that like one of its own projects. That is the import.
