Full walkthrough: How to convert your session to another DAW

§ What transfers

Your session arrives completely intact

Every track, clip and note — rebuilt natively in FL Studio, not flattened to stems.

Tracks Arrangement MIDI Audio clips Sample files Track levels Markers Tempo & sig Automation not yet Plugin chains 3rd-party, with settings
§ Honesty

Told straight, never silently dropped

Tracks, MIDI, audio clips, tempo and markers arrive editable, and your plugins come with you. Third-party instruments and effects — AU, VST3 and VST2 — arrive in FL Studio as the same plugin with their settings, hosted through FL's own wrapper, as long as the plugin is installed and scanned there. Ableton's stock devices don't map to FL Studio's native effects yet, and the conversion report names each one. Automation doesn't cross the Ableton–FL Studio boundary yet. Nothing is silently dropped.

§ 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

Ableton to FL Studio — common questions

Can FL Studio open an Ableton Live .als file?

Not directly — FL Studio can't read Ableton Live's .als format. Doseedo converts it: upload your .als — or zip the whole project folder (.als + Samples/) so the audio travels with it — and it rebuilds the session as a native FL Studio .flp project you can open and keep working in.

How do I export or transfer an Ableton Live project to FL Studio?

People describe the same job five ways — export Ableton Live to FL Studio, import an .als into FL Studio, transfer the project, open an Ableton Live project in FL Studio — and none of it needs stems. Upload the .als and it converts to a native .flp that opens in FL Studio with tracks, MIDI, audio and the tempo map intact. Want to check the project first? Open the .als in your browser and play it before converting.

What carries over from Ableton to FL Studio?

Tracks with their names, levels, pans and mutes; MIDI clips at their arrangement positions with every note; audio clips with their files traveling in the project folder; tempo, time signature and section markers. Third-party instruments and effects — AU, VST3 and VST2 — arrive in FL Studio as the same plugin with their settings, hosted through FL's own wrapper, as long as the plugin is installed and scanned there. Ableton's stock devices don't map to FL Studio's native effects yet, and the conversion report names each one. Automation doesn't carry between Ableton and FL Studio yet.

Do my plugins transfer from Ableton to FL Studio?

Yes — Third-party instruments and effects — AU, VST3 and VST2 — arrive in FL Studio as the same plugin with their settings, hosted through FL's own wrapper, as long as the plugin is installed and scanned there. Ableton's stock devices don't map to FL Studio's native effects yet, and the conversion report names each one. Plugin automation doesn't cross yet, and the converter never fakes anything.

Is my project private?

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

How many conversions are free?

2 conversions a month with no account, or 5 with a free account, both at full fidelity. Pro is $12/mo for 1,000 conversions a month, no watermark, cancel in one click. One conversion is one project translated one direction; a round-trip is two.

How do I convert .als to .flp?

Zip the Ableton project folder (the .als with its Samples/) — or drop a bare .als for structure and MIDI only — on the converter above, then download the .flp and open it in FL Studio. The .als isn't renamed or wrapped: the project is rebuilt as a native FL Studio project — tracks, clips, MIDI, tempo map and markers in place.

Is there a free Ableton to FL Studio converter online?

Yes — this page. It runs in the browser on macOS, Windows, ChromeOS or Linux with nothing to install: 2 conversions a month free with no account, 5 with a free account, 1,000 a month on Pro at $12/month, every plan at full fidelity. You don't need Ableton Live installed to convert; you need FL Studio to open the result.

Can I open an Ableton file in FL Studio, or import an .als into it?

Not directly — FL Studio has no .als import and Ableton Live has no .flp export; both formats are proprietary. Converting the project here rebuilds it as a native .flp, and FL Studio then opens that like one of its own projects — that is the import.
