DAW collaboration across different DAWs
Published November 2026
Most ways to collaborate on a track assume you both use the same DAW, or they hand you a folder of stems. When you don’t share a DAW, the real options are stems, a project converted into the other DAW and passed back and forth, and a shared session. This page sets out what each one does, including exactly where Doseedo sessions stand: a Logic Pro project kept in step with collaborators in the browser, in beta, with other DAWs not able to join yet.
The ways to collaborate across DAWs
As of 9 November 2026, these are the ways people collaborate across DAWs, and what each one is good at:
- Stems. Bounce every track from bar 1 and send the folder. Every DAW can open them, and nothing about your plugins matters. Nothing stays editable either: no MIDI, no automation, no routing. The Logic and Ableton guide covers doing it properly.
- Convert the project, one person at a time. A converter rebuilds the project in the other DAW, with tracks, MIDI, automation and markers editable, and the project goes back and forth like a baton. Two people never edit at once.
- A Doseedo session (beta). Sync a Logic Pro project with Dø Desktop, and collaborators work on it in the browser studio; changes cross when you save. The session lives on doseedo, so nobody needs a shared folder. Other DAWs can’t work on a session yet.
- One DAW for everyone. Browser DAWs such as BandLab, Soundation and Audiotool let several people edit one project at once, inside that browser DAW. Pro Tools users can share a session with other Pro Tools users through Avid’s Cloud Collaboration.
How a shared Doseedo session works
- Sync your Logic project. Open it in Dø Desktop on your Mac and sync it. It becomes a session on doseedo.
- Invite someone. From the session’s Share pane, copy a link that opens it with view or edit rights (it can expire), or invite a friend by username.
- They work in the browser studio. The link opens the session in Doseedo’s browser studio. They don’t need Dø Desktop or Logic.
- Changes cross when you save. Your changes go up when you save (⌘S). Theirs come into Logic when Dø Desktop saves, closes and reopens your project, after asking you, and you can undo it.
Shared sessions are in beta, and not every change crosses yet: the cards below say what doesn’t. A session can’t be worked on from Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools or REAPER in this version.
Dø Desktop syncs a session only while you are working on it in the app: an action there arms it for 12 hours. A project that just happens to be open in Logic is never sent anywhere.
What syncs, DAW by DAW
The Logic Pro card says what happens to the changes you make and to the changes that arrive from your collaborators. Logic Pro is the one DAW that can work on a session today.
Logic ProBeta
- Your changes
- When you save (⌘S), not as you play. Edits to regions and notes, solo, plugin automation and tempo changes later in the song do not go up yet.
- Theirs
- When Dø Desktop saves, closes and reopens your project, after asking you, and you can undo it. Edits to regions and notes recorded in Logic, solo and track colours are not applied yet, and only the Mac that synced the project receives track changes.
Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools and REAPERNot yet
Not in this version: a session can’t be worked on from these DAWs yet. To work with someone in one of them today, convert the project or send stems.
The pages for Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio and Pro Tools go through each one, including the ways to collaborate without Doseedo.
Where the edges are
- Changes cross when you save. Not as you play: your changes go up at ⌘S, and a collaborator’s reach Logic when Dø Desktop reopens your project.
- Logic Pro receives by reopening. Dø Desktop asks first, then saves your project, backs it up, closes it, writes the changes in and reopens it, so expect the project to close and reopen. It needs Accessibility permission to do it. Undo puts the backup back.
- Regions and notes don’t cross yet. Nor do solo, plugin automation, track colours or tempo changes later in the song.
- One Logic Mac per session. Only the Mac that synced the project receives track changes, so a second Logic user can’t work on the same session yet.
- Other DAWs: not yet. Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools and REAPER can’t work on a session in this version. Stems and converted projects still work between any of them.
- macOS. Shared sessions run in Dø Desktop on a Mac.
Cross-DAW collaboration, multiplayer DAW, collab DAW
People ask for this a dozen ways. They all mean two or more people changing one project, each from the software they already use.
Share your Logic project
Dø Desktop syncs a Logic Pro project to a doseedo session that collaborators work on in the browser. In beta; changes cross when you save.
Dø Desktop shared sessions →FAQ
Can two people work on the same project in different DAWs at the same time?
Not as you both play, with the tools on this page. A Doseedo session takes a Logic Pro project’s changes when you save and brings collaborators’ changes from the browser studio back with a quick save, close and reopen. With a converted project or stems, it is one person at a time.
Is there a multiplayer DAW?
Browser DAWs such as BandLab, Soundation and Audiotool let several people edit one project at once, inside that browser DAW. Doseedo’s browser studio works the same way from a share link, and with Dø Desktop a Logic Pro project can be one side of that session.
Do both people need Dø Desktop?
No. Dø Desktop is what syncs the Logic Pro project, so the person with the project needs it. Collaborators open the share link in the browser studio without it.
Do I have to save for my changes to reach the other person?
Yes. In a Doseedo session your Logic changes go up when you save (⌘S), not as you play.
What happens to my Logic project when a collaborator’s change arrives?
Dø Desktop asks first, then saves your project, backs it up under Music › Logic › Dø Desktop Backups, closes it, writes the change in and reopens it. You can undo it, which puts the backup back.
