REAPER → Ableton. Drop a REAPER .rpp project and get a native Ableton Live .als project — the real session rebuilt, not bounced to stems.
Full walkthrough: How to convert your session to another DAW
Every track, clip and note — rebuilt natively in Ableton, not flattened to stems.
Tracks, MIDI, audio clips, tempo and markers arrive editable. Plugin chains and automation don't cross the REAPER–Ableton boundary yet — your tracks still land named, leveled and panned, so re-adding devices takes minutes, not a rebuild. 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.
REAPER saves a project as an .rpp file; Ableton Live saves a Live Set as an .als file. So a REAPER to Ableton converter, converting .rpp to .als (RPP to ALS), turning a REAPER file into an Ableton file, opening a REAPER project in Ableton Live, importing a REAPER project into Ableton, exporting REAPER to Ableton, and moving, transferring or migrating a project from REAPER to Ableton Live all name this one conversion — and it runs here, free to start, online, with nothing to install.
.rpp text file, with its media referenced from disk..als file, with its audio in the project folder’s Samples/.Step by step: how to convert REAPER to Ableton · the other way: Ableton to REAPER (.als to .rpp) · every DAW converter direction
Not directly — Ableton Live can't read REAPER's .rpp format. Doseedo converts it: upload your .rpp — or zip the whole project folder so the audio travels with it — and it rebuilds the session as a native Ableton Live .als project you can open and keep working in.
People describe the same job five ways — export REAPER to Ableton Live, import a .rpp into Ableton Live, transfer the project, open a REAPER project in Ableton Live — and none of it needs stems. Upload the .rpp and it converts to a native .als that opens in Ableton Live with tracks, MIDI, audio and the tempo map intact. Want to check the project first? Open the .rpp in your browser and play it before converting.
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. Plugin state and automation don't carry between REAPER and Ableton yet.
Not yet — effect chains and instrument state don't cross the REAPER–Ableton boundary, and the converter never fakes them. Tracks still arrive named, leveled and panned, so re-adding your devices takes minutes instead of a rebuild from stems.
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.
Drop the .rpp — or a zip of the project folder with its media — on the converter above, then download the .als and open it in Ableton Live. The .rpp isn't renamed or wrapped: the project is rebuilt as a native Ableton Live project — 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 REAPER installed to convert; you need Ableton Live to open the result.
Not directly — Ableton Live has no .rpp import and REAPER has no .als export; both formats are proprietary. Converting the project here rebuilds it as a native .als, and Ableton Live then opens that like one of its own projects — that is the import.
