Never lose
a version again.

DAW Doctor watches your Ableton folder and backs up every save to the cloud the moment it happens. No buttons. No workflows. Just save as you normally would — the rest is automatic.

What it does

Automatic backup and version history for Ableton projects

DAW Doctor runs a background watcher on your Ableton folder. Every time you save a .als file, the watcher detects the change, waits 3 seconds to let the write complete, then uploads the file to Backblaze B2 cloud storage immediately.

It also parses the .als XML to extract BPM, musical key, track count, and the full list of plugins used — stored alongside each backup so you can see exactly what each version contained, without opening Ableton.

  • Background watcher — triggers on every .als and audio file save, no manual step
  • Backblaze B2 cloud storage — fast, low-cost, S3-compatible
  • Parses BPM, key, track count, and plugin list from each .als
  • Version diff — see what changed between any two consecutive saves
  • One-click restore — download any historical version directly from the dashboard
  • Live watcher LED in the dashboard — green means active, you always know it's running
How it works

Save. Watch. Done.

DAW Doctor is designed to disappear into your workflow. Once running, there is nothing to operate.

01
You save in Ableton as usual — Cmd+S, Cmd+Shift+S, doesn't matter.
02
The watcher detects the file change within seconds.
03
The .als is uploaded to Backblaze B2 and parsed for BPM, key, tracks, and plugins.
04
The dashboard updates — new version appears in the table, version diff computed automatically.
Who it's for

For producers who have lost work before

Ableton's built-in backup helps, but it lives on the same drive. Hard drive fails, stolen laptop, corrupted project — it's all gone. DAW Doctor puts every version offsite, automatically, so recovery is a dashboard visit away.

The version history is also useful outside of disaster recovery. Finished a session and want to go back to the arrangement you had two hours ago? It's there. Changed a mix and can't remember what it sounded like before? The timestamp is in the table.

DAW Doctor is free to use. Backblaze B2 storage is billed by Backblaze at their own rates — typically cents per GB per month.
