Convert DAW projects from an AI agent

Published October 2026

The Doseedo converter — a project in one DAW's format rebuilt natively in another's, tracks, MIDI, audio, tempo and markers editable on arrival — is one MCP tool. Connect the server and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any agent converts between Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Pro Tools, REAPER, Cubase, Dorico, Studio One and Bitwig, with GarageBand in: 75 directions. The agent compresses the project, uploads it, picks the direction (or lets the server detect the source), waits, and hands you a download — then reads the report and tells you what did not survive the trip, which is the part a web form cannot do.

The tools

• doseedo_get_project_upload_url — a presigned upload for the project. The agent compresses the whole project folder, so the audio travels with the session; past 4 GB it uses the multipart variant and doseedo_complete_project_upload.
• doseedo_convert_project — project_key plus a direction written <source>2<target>: logic2ableton, fl2protools, reaper2cubase, garageband2logic… or auto2<target> to let the server detect the source. An option, third_party_plugins:"disable", drops third-party AU and VST devices so the result opens clean on a machine that lacks them.
• doseedo_wait_task — a conversion is usually well under two minutes; the result is a pre-signed link to the converted project, valid 24 hours, plus a report of what carried and what was dropped.
• doseedo_import_project — the other way to use a project: open a Logic, Ableton, FL, REAPER or Pro Tools file as an editable session, change it with doseedo_edit_session, and download or convert the result.

A conversion costs one credit, on every plan, and the quote tool says so in its own words. Real reply, captured 2026-10-15:

{
  "job": "convert_project",
  "route": "/api/convert",
  "estimate": { "generation": 1 },
  "basis": "a DAW conversion: 1 credit + 1 per GB past the first, from the monthly credit pool",
  "affordable": true
}

The recipe the server publishes for this (doseedo_recipes {name:"convert"}) puts the time at 15 seconds to 2 minutes and lists what counts as a project: a compressed project folder, or a bare .als / .flp / .rpp / .ptx / .cpr / .dorico / .mxl / .song / .dawproject, or a compressed .logicx or .band. A native Bitwig .bwproject does not — export DAWproject from Bitwig first.

What to ask

> Convert ~/Music/Logic/Bridge Demo.logicx to Ableton and
  tell me what won't survive.

> Convert every .flp in ./beats to Logic, drop the third-party
  plugins, and write a table of what each one lost.

> The band works in Ableton and the mix room is Pro Tools.
  Take ./set.als to .ptx, and later bring the mixed .ptx back.

> This Logic project has 40 unnamed tracks. Take it through
  REAPER's text format, name them from what's on each one,
  and bring it back.

The last one is the pattern a web converter cannot offer: REAPER's .rpp is plain text, so an agent converts to it, edits the arrangement as text, and converts back — structural work survives; see the REAPER page.

What carries, honestly

Tracks, MIDI, audio clips, tempo and markers arrive editable in every direction. The Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools and REAPER pairs also carry automation, buses and sends, stock-plugin settings mapped to their equivalents, and third-party plugin state. Into FL Studio, third-party instruments and effects arrive with their settings, no stock effect from another DAW maps to FL's yet, and automation beyond volume, pan and tempo is reported rather than carried. The report that comes back with each conversion is specific to that project, and the general map is the breakdown, field by field. Ask the agent to read the report aloud; it is the reason to convert from an agent rather than a form.

Conversion is a project in and a project out, with the DAW closed — it works from a phone and from a server without any DAW installed. Live editing of an open project is a different capability, Logic Pro only, through Dø Desktop.
