Ableton → Pro Tools. Drop an Ableton Live .als project and get a native Pro Tools .ptx project — the real session rebuilt, not bounced to stems.
Full walkthrough: How to convert your session to another DAW
Every track, clip and automation lane — rebuilt natively in Pro Tools, not flattened to stems.
Third-party effects arrive as the same plugin with their saved settings when the plugin is installed on the Pro Tools machine, and stock plugins map to the closest native equivalent. Summing buses and sends arrive as real routing, and mixer automation lanes — volume, pan, mute, sends — carry over. Plugin-parameter automation lanes and third-party instrument state don't cross the Ableton–Pro Tools boundary yet — they're reported, never silently dropped. Nothing is silently dropped.
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.
Ableton Live saves a Live Set as an .als file; Pro Tools saves a session as a .ptx file (older versions: .ptf or .pts). So an Ableton to Pro Tools converter, converting .als to .ptx (ALS to PTX), turning an Ableton file into a Pro Tools file, opening an Ableton project in Pro Tools, importing a Live Set into Pro Tools, exporting Ableton to Pro Tools, and moving, transferring or migrating a project from Ableton Live to Pro Tools all name this one conversion — and it runs here, free to start, online, with nothing to install.
.als file, with its audio in the project folder’s Samples/..ptx file (legacy .ptf / .pts), with its audio in the session’s Audio Files folder.Step by step: how to convert Ableton to Pro Tools · the other way: Pro Tools to Ableton (.ptx to .als) · every DAW converter direction
Not directly — Pro Tools 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 Pro Tools .ptx project you can open and keep working in. The download is the whole Pro Tools session folder — the .ptx with its Audio Files/ — zipped, so it opens with the audio in place.
No. Ableton Live has no AAF or OMF export in any edition through Live 12, and Ableton’s own help pages document OMF as unsupported — so the fallback is consolidating every track to a stem and handing over a folder of audio. That costs you the MIDI, the routing and the automation. Converting the .als writes a real Pro Tools session instead, with the tracks still separate and your buses and sends intact.
No — consolidating is what you do when stems are the only option. Upload the Ableton project as it is (zip the folder, the .als with its Samples/, so the audio travels) and the converter writes the Pro Tools session with your clips where you put them, at their own positions and levels.
People describe the same job five ways — export Ableton Live to Pro Tools, import an .als into Pro Tools, transfer the project, open an Ableton Live project in Pro Tools — and none of it needs stems. Upload the .als and it converts to a native .ptx that opens in Pro Tools 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.
Tracks with their names, order, levels, pans, mutes and solos; MIDI clips at their arrangement positions with every note; audio clips with their files traveling in the session folder; summing buses and sends as real routing; mixer automation lanes (volume, pan, mute and sends); stock plugins mapped to real native equivalents; tempo, time signature and markers. Third-party effects arrive as the same plugin with their saved settings when the plugin is installed on the other side. Plugin-parameter automation lanes and third-party instrument state don't cross the Ableton–Pro Tools boundary yet — they're reported, never silently dropped.
Third-party effects do — the same plugin arrives with its saved settings when it's installed on the Pro Tools machine, and stock plugins map to the closest native equivalent. Plugin-parameter automation lanes and third-party instrument state don't cross the Ableton–Pro Tools boundary yet — they're reported, never silently dropped.
Your project is uploaded over an encrypted connection into your own private space, converted, and is yours to delete anytime.
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.
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 .ptx and open it in Pro Tools. The .als isn't renamed or wrapped: the project is rebuilt as a native Pro Tools session — tracks, clips, MIDI, tempo map and markers in place.
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 Pro Tools to open the result.
Not directly — Pro Tools has no .als import and Ableton Live has no .ptx export; both formats are proprietary. Converting the project here rebuilds it as a native .ptx, and Pro Tools then opens that like one of its own sessions — that is the import.
