How to convert Studio One to Logic

Updated October 2026

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/; Logic Pro uses .logicx packages. Neither opens the other’s format. Doseedo converts the song itself: upload the .song, download a native Logic Pro .logicx project with the arrangement rebuilt.

Why there's no built-in way

Fender (formerly PreSonus) and Apple share no project format. Logic Pro can’t open a .song, and Studio One has no Logic export. Studio One 6.5 and later can export a .dawproject — the open DAWproject format — but Logic Pro doesn’t read DAWproject either (see which DAWs do). So the usual fallback is bouncing stems, which flattens the song. A native conversion keeps it editable.

How the conversion works

Doseedo reads the .song natively — no export step in Studio One — and rebuilds it as a native Logic Pro .logicx project. Zip the whole song folder (the .song with its Media/) so the audio travels; a bare .song converts the arrangement, MIDI and mixer, but its audio stays behind on your disk. Songs from Studio One 3 through Fender Studio Pro 8 read the same way.

What carries over — and what doesn't

Studio One → Logic carries the arrangement, honestly scoped. What arrives editable: 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; markers; and sends.

Third-party effects arrive as the same plugin with their saved settings when the plugin is installed on the Logic machine. 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.

Do I need Studio One or Logic installed?

Not to convert. The conversion runs on the song file itself. You need Logic Pro to open the result.

FAQ

Can you convert a Studio One song to Logic Pro?

Yes. Upload a .song to Doseedo and download a native Logic Pro .logicx project. What arrives editable: 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; markers; and sends.

Does Studio One export to Logic Pro?

Not in a form Logic Pro reads. Studio One 6.5+ can export a .dawproject, but Logic Pro doesn’t import DAWproject, and it can’t open a .song. The real routes are bouncing stems (which flattens the song) or a native converter that rebuilds it — that’s what Doseedo does.

Do plugins carry over from Studio One to Logic?

Third-party effects arrive as the same plugin with their saved settings when the plugin is installed on the Logic machine. 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–Logic boundary is named in the conversion report.

Do I need Studio One installed to convert a .song?

No. The conversion works on the song itself — you only need Logic Pro to open the converted result.
