§ Honesty

Told straight, never silently dropped

Tracks with their names, volume, pan and mute; audio events with their files traveling in the song folder; MIDI notes; the tempo and time-signature maps, every change, even a song with a thousand of them; markers. Third-party plugin state isn’t promised on the Studio One–Cubase pair yet. Studio One’s built-in effects and instruments arrive by name only, and the report lists each one. Automation isn’t promised on this pair yet. 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

Studio One to Cubase: common questions

Can Cubase open a Studio One .song file?

Not as a native Cubase project. Doseedo converts it: upload your .song, or zip the whole song folder (the .song with its Media/) so the audio travels with it, and it writes a .dawproject (the open DAWproject format Cubase 14 or later imports) with the tracks, MIDI, audio and tempo map in place.

What do I upload from Studio One?

The .song. Studio One (renamed Fender Studio Pro in version 8) saves a song as a .song file in a song folder with its audio in Media/. Zip the whole song folder so the audio travels with it; a bare .song converts the arrangement, MIDI and mixer, but its audio stays behind on your disk.

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

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

What carries over from Studio One to Cubase?

Tracks with their names, volume, pan and mute; audio events with their files traveling in the song folder; MIDI notes; the tempo and time-signature maps, every change, even a song with a thousand of them; markers. Third-party plugin state isn’t promised on the Studio One–Cubase pair yet. Studio One’s built-in effects and instruments arrive by name only, and the report lists each one. Automation isn’t promised on this pair yet.

Do my plugins transfer from Studio One to Cubase?

Third-party plugin state isn’t promised on the Studio One–Cubase pair yet. Studio One’s built-in effects and instruments arrive by name only, and the report lists each one. Nothing is faked: whatever doesn’t cross the Studio One–Cubase boundary is named in the conversion report.

Do I need this on Studio One 6.5 or later?

Not always: Studio One 6.5 and later export DAWproject themselves, and Cubase Pro and Artist 14 or later import that file directly. This page reads the .song itself, so it is the route for a song saved by an earlier Studio One, or a .song you have without Studio One to export it.

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

Cubase’s own .cpr 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; Cubase 14 or later imports it through its DAWproject import, and Nuendo reads the same file. The download is that one file, with the audio inside it.

Is my project private?

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