Is it possible to combine logic projects?

Hi All....
I know I can import tracks from other Logic projects in Logic Pro X (10.0.7), but does anyone know of a way to create a combined project without importing each individual track from project to project?
To better explain this - here is the scenario I'm working on:
I have 5 Logic projects for 5 recorded and mixed songs. Rather than take a whole band out on the road we're looking to create a master "Live" project, so stripping out all guitars and vocals on those tracks, and just adding the drums, bass and strings from each track into that master "Live" project.
I know I can edit the time signature track and and drag everything in track by track or import track by track, but I was wondering if anyone else had come acres a simpler way of creating a master project in this fashion?...
I hope you can help.
All the best,
Daz.

Try using the Selective Track Import (STI) feature.....
http://music.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-use-selective-track-import-in-logic-p ro-9--audio-3181
The tutorial is for LP9 but STI works the same way in LPX
Select multiple tracks and whatever you wish to import per track in the first project and then import to the second project to merge the two projects together.....
Note: STI is also very useful at tracking down issues with a project by importing one track at a time in to a new project so you can check out which plugin/setting for example, is at the root of any given issue..

  • Is it possible to Sync logic projects between two computers?

    Hi All,
    I've never had to do this before, but now I have two Macs running Logic Pro (X).  As stated above, how would I go about syncing projects?  I use Dropbox to sync some data from apps back and forth, and it works pretty well, but that seems impractical with the large file sizes.  (Not that I've written it out, but I'm just sayin...)  There's no iCloud support, right?  Okay, and if this a repeat question, my apologies. 

    If the two Macs are on the same network.. Use a shared network drive to store and access everything?
    There is no iCloud support.. I'm guessing simply because of the size of files that would be stored up there.. which would in essence, have the same issues as using Dropbox would..

    Hi
    Yes this has no stream-line function - but
    • Make the insert as it's own project
    • Export out as a full Quality QuickTime movie
    • Import this into Events
    • Now insert this as "Cut-away" in the Main Project
    Many complex scenes must be made this way by export/import as many functions etc only can be applied one at a time.

  • Is it possible to copy all the channel strip info to another Logic project?

    Hi
    I'm trying to combine two projects so that I can crossfade from one to another yet still have full mix control. I've figured out how to copy the audio files (drag and drop), and that's brilliant, but I'd like to keep all my channel info without having to copy every single strip and rename them. Can anyone shed light on this and save me a couple of hours?
    Thanks

    Yeah, as Miles says, the track import function might be your best bet - you have to navigate to the files you want - double click on the Project file name to see what's in there and you can bring back your channel strips and the track contents, there are a few options to choose to decide what you want, but that's OK, innit ?
    As DataStream says, you can even bring back the Mixer configuration, so that's something else to think about.

  • Using time machine to backup Logic Projects

    Hi
    I was wondering if it is possible to use time machine to backup my Logic Projects. I have a seperate internal drive that I use to keep all my user data on, like my Logic projects. I want to use time machine to back up these projects onto a external firewire drive.
    Can timemachine only backup your systems drive and therefore I would need to have my Logic projects based stored on it?

    Yes - time machine can back up any drive. I am using 3 drives: system drive, a USB2 drive for Time machine backups and a firewire 800 drive for Logic Studio projects, instruments, samples, audio, etc. TM backs up my system and FW drives to the USB drive.
    Time machine options (in system preferences) allow you to exclude/include drives so you just need to set it to include your second internal drive.
    The only thing I'm not sure of is whether this effects the loop browser. Oddly, when I was experimenting with using aliases for Apple loops, Logic actually found the TM backup files when it couldn't locate the original GB loops! After some file moving and index deleting I cleared all loops but now I have duplicate entries again in Logic - possibly due to TM, but I have not verified this.

  • Is it Possible to Combine Hibernate + Swing?????

    Hi Xperts,
    Is it possible to combine Hibernate + Swing?
    (My Point of View Hibernate Contains Transaction, Session... But In Swing Session??????)
    So i have lot of confusions.
    SO
    if Hibernate + Swing
    IF YES. HOW? ELSE TELL THE REASON.
    I EAGERLY WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY
    Thanks
    Edward and Hari

    Hi Duffymo - thanks for responding. It's fun to discuss this with somebody; I don't usually get many reasonable/friendly responses on the Hibernate user forum.
    What I mean by transaction based identity is thatin
    the normal, recommended Hibernate process (one
    session per transaction), objects fetched in
    different transactions do not == each other. Solet's
    say I do the following:
    * Start session 1 and transaction 1, fetch object
    with primary key 5, and store it in variable obj1.
    Commit transaction 1 and close session 1.
    * Start session 2 and transaction 2, fetch object
    with primary key 5, and store it in variable obj2.
    Commit transaction 2 and close session 2.
    * At this point, even though they represent thesame
    row in the database, obj1 != obj2. I'll assume you mean !obj1.equals(obj2)here, because [obj1 != obj2[/code] even without
    Hibernate if the two references point to different
    locations in memory in the same JVM. The equals
    method can be overridden. You can decide to check
    equality only examining the primary keys, or you can
    do a field by field comparison. If the class checks
    equality on a field by field basis, the only way
    they'll not be equal is if you change values.I really do mean == in this case. If those two fetches happened within the same session, Hibernate would return the identical object from it's cache. Here's some pseudo-code illustrating what I mean:
    Session firstSession = sessionFactory.openSession(); //Start an empty session
    Transaction tx1 = firstSession.beginTransaction();
    Object obj1 = firstSession.get( Person.class, new Long(5) ); //Fetches row 5 from the database
    tx1.commit();
    Transaction tx2 = firstSession.beginTransaction(); //Start a new database transaction, but still use the same session cache.
    Object obj2 = firstSession.get( Person.class, new Long(5) ); //Just returns the same object it previously fetched
    tx2.commit();
    obj1 == obj2; //Returns true, because we're pointing to the exact same objects
    obj1.equals( obj2 ); //Obviously returns true since they're pointing to the same object
    Session secondSession = sessionFactory.openSession(); //Start an empty session
    Transaction tx3 = secondSession.beginTransaction(); //New transaction in the empty session, no cached objects
    Object obj3 = secondSession.get( Person.class, new Long(5) ); //Returns a newly created object, not in our session cache
    tx3.commit();
    obj1 == obj3; //Returns FALSE, these are two separate objects because they were fetched by different sessions.
    obj1.equals( obj3 ); // Depends on whether the database row was modified since we fetched obj1
    It sounds like you want an Observer pattern, where
    every client would deal with a single model and
    changes are broadcast to every registered Observer.
    That's just classic MVC, right? In that case, every
    y client might have an individual view, but they're
    all dealing with the same model. Changes by one is
    reflected in all the other views in real time.That would be awesome, but doesn't seem feasible. Our Swing clients are spread all around the world, and creating a distributed event notification system that keeps them all in sync with each other sounds very fun but extremely out of scope for this project. We're trying to make Hibernate manage the object freshness so that our Swing application clients may slowly become out of date, but when we trigger certain actions on the client (like a user query, or the user clicking a 'refresh' button) they refresh portions of their data model from the central shared database.
    >
    The reason that this is pertinent is because Swing
    expects objects to be long-lived, so that they canbe
    bound to the UI, have listeners registered withthem,
    they can be used in models for JTables, JLists,etc.
    In a typical complex Swing application, your only
    choice is to use a very long-lived session,because
    it would break everything if you were getting
    different copies of your data objects every timeyou
    wanted to have a transaction with the database. As
    shown above, a very long-lived session will leadto
    very out-of-date information with no good way to
    refresh it.Maybe the problem is that you don't want copies of
    the data. One model. Yes?One data model with real-time updates between all the connected clients would be ideal. However, I don't think that Hibernate is designed to work this way - it's really not even a Hibernate issue, that would be some separate change tracking infrastructure.
    Realistically, what I was hoping for is that we could have a single long-running Hibernate session so that we're working with the same set of Java objects for the duration of the Swing application lifetime. The problem that I'm running into is that Hibernate does not seem structured in a way that lets me selectively update the state of my in-memory objects from the database to reflect changes that other users have made.
    Certainly you've used JDBC. 8) That's what
    Hibernate is based on. TopLink is just another O/R
    mapping tool, so it's unlikely to do better. JDO
    doesn't restrict itself to relational databases, but
    the problem is the same.You're right, I have used JDBC, in fact we wrote a JDBC driver for FileMaker Pro so I'm pretty familiar with it. What I meant is that I've never tried using raw JDBC within a Swing application to manage my object persistence.
    I have not used TopLink and I haven't heard much about it, but I did see some tidbits on an Oracle discussion board comparing Hibernate with TopLink that made it sound like TopLink had better support for refreshing in-memory objects. Not having used TopLink myself, I can't say much else about what it's strengths/weaknesses are compared to Hibernate. It's not really an option for us anyway, because you have to pay a per-seat licensing charge, which would not work for this project.
    I know almost nothing about JDO except that it sounds really cool, is pseudo-deprecated, and it's probably too late for us at this point to switch our project to use it even if we wanted to.
    I don't think the problem is necessarily the
    persistence; it's getting state changes broadcast to
    the view in real time. It's as if you're writing a
    stock trading app where changes have to be made
    available to all users as they happen. Fair?Yes, I agree that the core issue is getting state changes broadcast to the view, but isn't that within the responsibility of the persistence management? How are we supposed to accomplish this with Hibernate?
    An excellent, interesting problem. Thanks for
    answering. Sincerely, %Likewise. I would stress again that I'm not anti-Hibernate in general (well maybe a little, but that's mostly because of bad attitudes on the support forums), I just have not found a way to make it work well for a desktop GUI client application like Swing. Thanks for your help, and I would love to continue the conversation.

  • Corrupt audio file prevents me from opening Logic project file

    Hello,
    I've been running Logic 8 for a couple years off my MacBook and have never encountered any significant problems of file corruption until recently.
    The issue I encountered is this:
    I've been producing a lengthy track in an on-going Logic project file for some time and after completing a recording session I saved and started deleting excess track copies to clean up my arrange window. Upon doing so Logic unexpectedly crashed.
    After attempting to reopen the project file, it started its normal process of loading its respective audio files, but now it hangs on one particular audio file indefinitely (I'll refer to it as 'audio file x' for ease of reference), freezing and crashing Logic as a result. All of this project file's auto backup files are also incapable of being opened without giving me the same result and crashing Logic.
    I have no way of opening this project file and getting at my most recent saved sequence!
    I've tried removing this corrupt 'audio file x' from the project's audio folder and dragging it to the desktop, but this had no effect and I still can't open any recent version of the project file.
    Older saved copies of the current project file do still open though (most likely because they were saved prior to the corruption caused by this suspect 'audio file x.') When opening an earlier iteration of the project, I get a message '1 invalid audio region found' (I assume referring to the corrupt suspect 'audio file x' that I removed to the desktop) but the project file is still able to open.
    I realize I could import the audio files from the most recent version of the crashed file to an older project version and reconstruct things back to the way they were, but it would take me a lot of time and I'm hoping there may be some way to recover the un-openable project file by getting it to stop looking for this corrupted 'audio file x' on startup.
    When I click 'show package contents' of the Logic Project file, I notice two items labeled 'displayState' and 'documentData.' From my troubleshooting I've come to the basic understanding that the 'documentData' file contains all the sequence data and settings for its respective Logic Project file.
    I think the 'document data' of the unopenable project file in question may be corrupt because whenever I replace it with the 'document data' from an earlier Project file version, the file is able to open. This doesn't do me much good though, because it's document data from an earlier iteration of the project and I need to be able to get at the current sequence I had right before my file crashed.
    Is there anyway to open a project file without letting it load its audio files? Or is there anyway I could get inside the 'document data' file to delete the reference/pathway in its audio bin to the corrupt 'audio file x' its hanging on?
    Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping there's some way I won't have to repeat a couple days worth of work. Thanks for your help!

    After further troubleshooting I've realized that the suspicious audio file that prevents the project file from opening is actually not corrupted itself. I can still play the audio file in other media software like Quicktime, etc. with no problem.
    This leads me to believe the problem opening the project file lies solely with the corrupted 'documentData' file.
    Does anyone have any ideas about how I could somehow open this project file and delete the reference of the troublesome audio file from the project's audio bin?
    Well... it really sounds like the project itself is corrupted, that's one of the reasons all project files won't load from a certain point on.
    Try this.
    Reboot the Mac.
    Open the Applications folder and boot Logic from it's icon.
    As soon as the Logic Logo/graphic window appears on the screen hold down the control key. You will see a message pop up that says something like "Launch the Core Audio Driver" there will be yes/no choice available... select NO.
    Go to the File menu and selct "open" go find your project file and see if it will open. If it does.. delete the audio file in question... however.. I would also look at any plugins you recently installed and are possibly using in this project...this sounds more like a plugin problem rather than an audio file problem, but that's just a gut feeling.
    Anyway, if it opens delete whatever you suspect and save under a different name.
    Reboot Logic and see if it can load the project.

  • How do I move existing Logic projects to an external hard drive?

    My internal hdd is getting close to capacity on my iMac so i've purchased an external 500GB USB hdd.
    I have about 10 existing projects that i'd like to move to my new drive.
    These projects consist of WAV files imported from a portable digital recorder, fresh recorded tracks using my audio interface, and midi tracks. Most of my tracks are at the 'final mix' stage and are sounding pretty sweet
    Would it benefit me to move my Logic projects to my external drive, or should I scrap the idea and move my huge itunes library instead? If it is worth moving my Logic projects - what is the best way to do it? I really don't want to have to remix, re-record anything. I also don't want to get lost in Finder.
    I'm quite new to Logic but I intend to 'use best practice' if possible. I get the impression that using an external hard drive with Logic may offer performance gains. My audio interface is firewire (M-Audio FW 410). The USB external hdd was brought to avoid firewire conflicts.
    Any tips would be most welcome.
    Thanks in advance. Rich

    In theory, you should be able to copy all of your projects to the external and open and use them exactly as before with no problems and no need to re-mix anything...
    BUT, and its a big BUT...
    Are you sure all of your projects were started AS projects with all the audio files, instrument samples etc. stored in the relevant folders in the project's folder?
    Before doing anything, go through all of your "projects", make sure they ARE projects (there should be a project folder, the song file stored in the project folder, with audio, undo etc. folders within the main project folder for each one) - if they are not, do a "save as project" - it should give you a number of options to copy any external audio files etc. to the project folder. If for any reason it doesn't I would then choose "project - consolidate" from the main file menu, which will give you the same options. Even if you are SURE that all your projects ARE projects, I would choose "consolidate project" just to be sure...
    You should then be able to proceed... but don't delete the originals until you are sure everything is working fine. I would even suggest backing up the originals in another location (it could even be a back-up folder on the same external), so you can just move them straight back to the original location if there are any problems.
    When I first started using Logic many years ago there was no option to save projects, and I learnt the hard way to create the folder structure that logic now does for you. But even so, unless you started out knowing how to use this function, its possible some of your audio files are still stored in the wrong location. "Consolidate project" should solve this.
    As for the USB HD - I would avoid using a USB drive for audio. It is said that USB 2 is faster than firewire 400, but I don't know any musician or film maker that would use one.
    You can daisy chain firewire devices with no problems in my experience. If you do experience problems I might suggest you search up on any posts to do with M-Audio interfaces and Macs...
    Good Luck!

  • Way to combine sub-projects into master?

    I had developed a master project and several sub-projects in
    RH HTML for Webhelp. I may have a need to combine them all into one
    project (rather than having the sub-projects). I know that you used
    to be able to do this with RH for Word by importing the different
    projects, but I do not see a way to do it with HTML. I tried to do
    it but could only saw a way to create a new project by importing
    one other project. Is it possible to import several
    projects?

    Hi paulajmarchese
    You would do it by creating folders to organize things, then
    right clicking the folders and choosing Import and pointing at the
    files. Note that you probably won't be able to import a whole slew
    at a time because of pathing limitations.

  • Combinational logic for BCD seven segment

    HI all,
    I have to design the combinational logic for BCD to seven segment display using only And, Or and Not gates and simulate it using the multisim software. I had come out with the truth tables, kmaps and finally i got all the SOP for each of the segments (a - g).
    Now i have a problem, using multisim i do not know how to simulate the output. Am i going to draw all the logic diagram for a to g, and how am i going to combine them together?
    What other components do i need to proceed with the simulation? Please advice, thanks in advance!

    I'm not sure what SOP means, but I am very, very familiar with this project.
    Here is a file that sets up a basic structure for you so you can see how it works. I used a Common-anode 7-segment display since those seem to be more common in school kits, which makes the final gate outputs active low. I've only done the "A" segment for an example. You may notice that the gates I have are different than what you get with Karnaugh mapping, because I used the Quine-McCluskey method that Multisim's Logic Converter can produce. It makes for less gates, but is not a method you really want to do manually. If you are doing a school assignment, I would advise against using the Quine-McCluskey result, because an instructor will tear you apart if it doesn't work and you can't show your proofs, so don't forget to remove my gates!

  • Wondering if possible to open Logic sessions in Soundtrack Pro?

    Hi there - operating Logic Studio - wondering if it is possible to open Logic sessions in Soundtrack Pro like it is possible t open garageband sessions in Logic?

    No not possible but you can send an audio file/region from Logic to STP for editing and back again.
    STP does not support MIDI. Logic projects could contain MIDI regions and software instrument channel strips. This would not work!
    Export your track from the logic project to audio files and import them into STP as a multi-track project.

  • Getting external software to trigger midi notes in a logic project

    Happy new years guys,
    I've recently figured out how to use a 3rd party software (e.g. ableton live) to input midi notes into logic.
    so i can set up an ES2 in logic, and use the software (ableton) as the source of midi info. great.
    however, when i press the "spacebar" (i.e. play) to kick off my logic project, ableton is not playing as well.
    ableton would play synced if logic was opened 1st, and ableton was the re-wire slave. but in re-wire slave mode, ableton has no midi outs !!
    so on the 1 hand, i can open ableton 1st, then logic - which would give me the ability to use midi events in ableton to trigger ES2, but then I can't sync the playback of logic + ableton.
    on the 2nd hand, i can open logic 1st, then ableton - which would let me press spacebar in logic, and ableton would then run synced as the slave. but this way, ableton has no midi outs, as its runnin in re-wire slave mode !!
    what i really want to do is just use ableton as the midi sequencer / trigger, and use logic for everything else (mixing, effects, ES2 synth, ESM etc.)
    i just want to use ableton to edit / create my midi info etc.
    anybody have suggestions on how I can achieve this?
    i appreciate your time / responses. this forum has been a great help for me.
    ian

    There's a couple of things to try...
    If you're only using Ableton as the MIDI sequencer...
    See if Ableton has the ability to sync to "MIDI Clock" and MIDI Song Pointer if possible.
    Go into Logic's synchronization and enable MIDI Clock Out.
    I don't know if the current IAC bus will do ot if you have to crteate a second.
    The second way would invlove MTC (Midi Time Code) over a second IAC bus.

  • Combining multiple projects into one larger project?

    If I have multiple separate projects and now want to combine them, edits, titles and all into a larger project, is it possible? I expected that it might be possible to drag one project into another and place it intact onto the timeline for the new project. Since every combination of dragging a project around has evidently failed to accomplish what I'm expecting... is there a way to do this?

    welcome phiphika to the  board…
    in terms of convenience, I would indeed export/share all 6 movies.
    to tape, or as Quicktime/FullQuality…
    both methods create a lossless copy of your final movie(s).
    in step II, import all 6 project into a new iM project, as said above, you don't loose ay quality with that back'n forth copying... only some time ;-)… you can set then chapter markers etc....
    besides, your workflow is as mine on larger projects: not 678 clips into one monstrous project of some dozends Gigabytes, just segments…

  • Printing every possible pair combination of elements in two arrays??

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to implement the problem of printing every possible pair combination of elements in two arrays. The pattern I have in mind is very simple, I just don't know how to implement it. Here's an example:
    g[3] = {'A', 'B', 'C'}
    h[3] = {1, 2, 3}
    ...code...??
    Expected Output:
    A = 1
    B = 2
    C = 3
    A = 1
    B = 3
    C = 2
    A = 2
    B = 1
    C = 3
    A = 2
    B = 3
    C = 1
    A = 3
    B = 1
    C = 2
    A = 3
    B = 2
    C = 1
    The code should work for any array size, as long as both arrays are the same size. Anybody know how to code this??
    Cheers,
    Sean

    not a big fan of Java recursion, unless tail recursion, otherwise you are bound to have out of stack error. Here is some generic permutation method I wrote a while back:
    It is generic enough, should serve your purpose.
    * The method returns all permutations of given objects.  The input array is a two-dimensionary, with the 1st dimension being
    * the number of buckets (or distributions), and the 2nd dimension contains all possible items for each of the buckets.
    * When constructing the actual all permutations, the following logic is used:
    * take the following example:
    * 1    2    3
    * a    d    f
    * b    e    g
    * c
    * has 3 buckets (distributions): 1st one has 3 items, 2nd has 2 items and 3rd has 2 items as well.
    * All possible permutaions are:
    * a    d    f
    * a    d    g
    * a    e    f
    * a    e    g
    * b    d    f
    * b    d    g
    * b    e    f
    * b    e    g
    * c    d    f
    * c    d    g
    * c    e    f
    * c    e    g
    * You can see the pattern, every possiblity of 3rd bucket is repeated once, every possiblity of 2nd bucket is repeated twice,
    * and that of 1st is 4.  The number of repetition has a pattern to it, ie: the multiplication of permutation of all the
    * args after the current one.
    * Therefore: 1st bucket has 2*2 = 4 repetition, 2nd has 2*1 = 2 repetition while 3rd being the last one only has 1.
    * The method returns another two-dimensional array, with the 1st dimension represent the number of permutations, and the 2nd
    * dimension being the actual permutation.
    * Note that this method does not purposely filter out duplicated items in each of given buckets in the items, therefore, if
    * is any duplicates, then the output permutations will contain duplicates as well.  If filtering is needed, use
    * filterDuplicates(Obejct[][] items) first before calling this method.
