Bitwig and PreSonus Are Making It Easy To Share Projects Between Programs

We know that many producers use multiple DAWs, but transferring projects between programs can be time-consuming or complex. That's why we teamed up with PreSonus to create a free, open, DAW-agnostic file format that allows you to save projects in one DAW and open them in another.

DAWproject files include all information related to time, tracks and channels, as well as all audio, note and automation data — and even the state of the plug-ins used in projects. That means you never have to bounce your stems to share or transfer a project again; you can save it as a DAWproject file and open it in another program, even if it has different features. DAWproject files are currently supported by Bitwig Studio 5.0.9, and in PreSonus Studio One 6.5. For a full rundown of the specific features that DAWproject supports and more details on how it works, check out our FAQs.

The features that DAWproject format supports are listed below, with a comparison to MIDI and AAF for reference. As you'll see, DAWproject files cover a wider range of data relevant to DAWs and DAW-like applications.
