How to convert FL Studio to Studio One

Updated October 2026

FL Studio saves projects as .flp files; Studio One (now Fender Studio Pro) saves .song files — and imports the open DAWproject format. FL Studio writes neither. Doseedo converts the project itself: upload the .flp, download a .dawproject Studio One imports, with the arrangement in place.

Why there's no built-in way

Image-Line and Fender (formerly PreSonus) share no project format. Studio One can’t open a .flp, and FL Studio has no Studio One export. What Studio One does read is DAWproject — the open format PreSonus created with Bitwig — and FL Studio doesn’t write it. So the usual fallback is stems, which flattens the project. Doseedo writes the .dawproject FL Studio can’t.

How the conversion works

Doseedo reads the FL Studio project with the same native engine as its other directions and writes one .dawproject file, with the audio inside it; Studio One / Fender Studio Pro 6.5 or later imports it. Why not a .song? Studio One’s own format isn’t publicly documented, and a file we can’t be sure opens would only look like a conversion. Zip the project folder (the .flp plus its audio) so the samples travel; a bare .flp converts too.

What carries over — and what doesn't

FL Studio → Studio One carries the arrangement, honestly scoped. What arrives editable: tracks with their names, levels, pans and mutes; MIDI clips with every note; audio clips with their files inside the .dawproject; tempo, time signature and markers.

Plugin chains aren’t promised on this pair yet — the conversion report names every plugin and what became of it. Automation isn’t promised on this pair yet. Nothing is silently dropped — every conversion comes with a report of what changed.

Do I need FL Studio or Studio One installed?

Not to convert. The conversion runs on the project itself. You need Studio One / Fender Studio Pro 6.5 or later to import the result.

FAQ

Can you convert a FL Studio project to Studio One?

Yes. Upload a .flp to Doseedo and download a .dawproject Studio One imports. What arrives editable: tracks with their names, levels, pans and mutes; MIDI clips with every note; audio clips with their files inside the .dawproject; tempo, time signature and markers.

Does FL Studio export to Studio One?

No. FL Studio has no Studio One export and doesn’t write DAWproject, the open format Studio One imports. Doseedo writes that .dawproject for you — the real project, not stems.

Do plugins carry over from FL Studio to Studio One?

Plugin chains aren’t promised on this pair yet — the conversion report names every plugin and what became of it. Nothing is faked: whatever doesn’t cross the FL Studio–Studio One boundary is named in the conversion report.

Do I need FL Studio installed to convert to Studio One?

No. The conversion works on the project itself — you only need Studio One / Fender Studio Pro 6.5 or later to import the .dawproject it writes.
