Can I load a logic 9 project into Logic 8.02

Can't find this in search for some reason. I'm mixing a track someone has recorded in logic 9 and he wants to just send me a copy of the logic project rather than running all the audio tracks from bar 1.
I'm just after a quick yes or no answer. I don't need all the fx etc. just the audio files in the right place. Thanks in advance....

Yes, if you have Logic 9 also (or 9.1) it should open at your end with no problem, it will tell you what plug ins are missing but you can ignore that.
However, definitely get your friend to 'save a copy as' of their project, and be sure to click all the boxes for it to copy all external audio files to the project folder, all of the exs samples (if they used any), same thing for ultrabeat and space designer (if they used any of these things with custom sounds or impulse files that they need you to have). This way the resulting project file will be as portable as possible - it should contain everything you need, apart from obviously any 3rd party plug ins or instruments that you don't have. If they used 3rd party synths, then they should definitely bounce these tracks in place before doing the above.
Then, when you receive the project, you have two options for how to work with it. You can either just load it up and work from there. However if you do that, then you'll also be stuck with the environment as it is set up for their system. This may not be a problem if you work in the box. But if you use outboard gear and have set up a complex i/o setup which you use, then it will be a PITA to have to recreate it all from scratch. In that case, (if you have Logic 9.1), you don't need to open their Logic project at all. All you need to do is start a fresh project of your own, using your own preferred template. Then use the selective track import function to choose every single track from their project, and the tempo map as well if there are tempo changes. You can also go through the tracks and choose not to import the plug ins for tracks which use 3rd party plugs you don't have. This way you'll get everything, but it will be inside a Logic project set up in the way you personally are used to.. your screensets will be as you normally have them, your i/o setup will all be preserved exactly as it is in your own template. In most cases, this how I would go about it.

Can I open emagic logic projects in Logic Express 7.2?

Hi
I am recording a band in a few weeks, who have already laid down their (live) drum tracks in a proper studio that uses Emagic Logic. I don't know which version, but he runs it on a G4.
I use GarageBand at the moment, but am about to move up to Logic Express 7.2. Will I be able to import the Emagic Logic projects into Logic Express 7.2?
Cheers

Cheers - it's good news that they're compatible.
I'll have plenty of time to practice with Logic beforehand. Sure it'll be a challenge, but I'm not going to let that put me off.

Can't create a new project in Logic pro . Goes straight to a midi file. Do I shut something down before trying to create a new project

Can't create a new project in Logic pro . Goes straight to a midi file. Do I shut something down before trying to create a new project?

When you open Logic, close the project that its automatically brought up (see CCT's answer above, which explains how you can change that behaviour, if you like - I usually want to listen to the last thing I was doing, but its your choice - and then File>New.
So, yeah, you do have to close the currently loaded project first.

Opening various tracks from various GB projects into Logic rop

Hi. I am having some difficulty. I have a song I have been working on in GB. I have been experimenting with different sounds and therefore have 3 different GB projects on it. I would like to take individual/different tracks from those 3 GBs and put them all in 1 Logic.
Do I have to export/bounce each one through Itunes?, but that permanently embeds my effects. I would like to be able to still tweak all the tracks some more once they are in logic.
basically, how do I open individual gb "tracks" not projects, into Logic? thanks.
Message was edited by: FM/AR

just basically wondering if there is any way to select individual tracks within a GB project and move/drag/copy/paste/export/import etc. them into logic, while keeping all of their settings intact so they can be further worked on in Logic.
I know some roundabout ways but it will take forever. I have probably 100 tracks mixed up among 3 different GB projects (like 20 or 30 track in each project) and I need to get them into 1 Logic project. I know how to find the raw files, but then I will have to manually add all of my effects (many are customized) again and that could take some time, because I will have to create all my custom effects in logic. I would have to go into GB and right down all of my moves and the details of the customized effect and then make an replica of it in Logic....sheww....that could take a long time. i have tons of effects....

I can't load 1 Imovie project. Imovie shows 5 projects but only 4 icons show of those. 1 projects symbol won't come up so I can't click on it to work on or play. Please help me as there's lots of work on this project I don't want to lose.

The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
"but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
"but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.

How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

Hi.
I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
load the requested content and return to the stage.
The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
and then returns to the stage.
I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
"contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
error message:
quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
If I switch
"contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
"contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
external SWF doesn't move with the window.
How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
inside other movie clip?

Hi,
Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
communication with the said swf file:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onComplete);
function onComplete(event:Event):void
event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
will have an answer ;)

I can't load certain cd's into itunes

I can't load certain cd's into itunes, I get error code 4900 when i ran diagnostics.

Thanks for the suggestion. CD's are clean; no finger prints or dust. Still can't import into iTunes. A little background-- I had iTunes on a PC previously. When I transferred the library to my MacBook, I noticed some CD's were not transferred. This is one of the CD's I had in iTunes on my PC, but is now not in iTunes on my MacBook. Why can I not add this and some other CD's to iTunes on my MacBook?

How can i load a 8cm dvd into my drive ??

Hi
I am i being a little thick .... I have a sony handycam and it has 8cm dvd that i record onto.
How can i load these dvd's into my macbook pro, notebook ??
Please help
Many thanks
Michelle

You can't. The MBP's slot-loading optical drive doesn't support nonstandard-sized discs at all.
If the camcorder has a USB or FireWire output, you may be able to use that to transfer videos from it to the computer. Alternatives include buying a tray-loading external optical drive that can handle the oddball discs, or transferring the videos to a computer that has an internal tray-loader, then transferring them to the Mac from the other computer wirelessly, via a USB flash drive or external hard drive, or via a burned standard-sized disc.

Importing Logic 6 Projects Into Logic Pro 8

So here's the deal. I have upgraded to Logic Pro 8 (previously using Logic 6) and I'm trying to load my old songs from logic 6 (from my old mac, G5 Power Mac) onto my new mac G5 Macbook in Logic 8 Pro. So I have transfered all the information from my old mac onto and external that I have connected to my new mac.
Now that I want to load my old songs into the new program everything appears to be fine (for the most part) tracks are all there, my effects and automation is all there but it is messing up my midi maps (.exs files). I was hoping that EXS24 would just recognize them and automatically load them in but it isnt. The only way around this that I can think of would be to load all my samples back in the same way as before (same order, same file names, etc.) then save them as the same .exs file in the same location as they previously were. Which I wouldn't mind doing if I had a smaller amount of midi maps but i have a few hundred atleast most with between 15 and 50 individual samples. Not sure whether this has to do with the hardrive change and logic not recognizing the path that the project file is directing it to locate the files or whether its just upgrading the software thats causing the problem but there has got to be an easier way to achieve this. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

I hope I get you right. I had the same situation and the only way was to find all 'sampler instruments' folders on my old machine and put them in exactly the same folders on new machine. Please, note ONLY 'Sampler Instruments' folders, not the samples themselves. Samples can be anywhere on any disk, 'Sampler Instruments' must be in apropriate folders so that old projects can find them. For my future changes I have a backup folder with all sampler instruments folders I found on my old iMac (and previously my G4) - there are 5 in my case... This way I still have 'Logic 6 series' in my applications folder, there is also a folder called something like 'Previous Logic Settings' inside my Library/Application support folder (that's from my Logic 7 I guess).
So, in your case, it's probably only the Logic 6 Series folder and Sampler Instruments folder inside it.

Loading a CS4 project into CS3

My son has CS4 and I have Premiere CS3. How can I load one of his saved CS4 projects into CS3? There doesn't appear to be a "save as" feature in CS4, nor an export option.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm in the middle of a big project and I don't want to upgrade midstream.

Thanks for the response, but it seems a little short-sighted on Adobe's part: even Microsoft allows you to save documents in previous versions so others can read them. Anything for an upgrade fee, I guess.

Loading a Java project into Eclipse.

I am trying to load a project from in eclipse
The project is in c:\Project and is called ABC.
My workspace in eclipse is c:\MyWorkspace.
I am trying to import this project into the above workspace
I am saying: New - Project - Java Project - Create project from existing source (and point it to c:\Project\ABC)
Error:The specified location already exists.
How do I get project ABC into my workspace ?
I seem to have forgotten

Just move the folder "ABC" from C:\Project to C:\Workspace
then create a new Java Project named "ABC" and you are all set.
Don't choose "Create from existing project" Just create the project.

How can I build an existed project into eclipse IDE?

Hello, all,
I did not use eclipse IDE before. Someone gave me an completed directory which
was a project (including all classes and source code) built by eclipse IDE. I
want to rebuild it into eclipse on my computer. But eclipse only has "new" item
to generate new project, class, etc. How can I rebuild the exist project in
eclipse IDE?
I appreciate your help or any suggestion!
Thanks
John

Easiest way:
Copy the folder into the Eclipse Workspace folder
Create the "new" project with the same name as that folder.
Eclipse should detect an existing project with the same name, inform you of this, and proceed from there.

How do i reopen a project so it displays in timeline in fce?or how do i load a saved project into the timeline?

having saved project, closed it.
but then when reopening FCE although the NAME of the project appears in tabs, the CANVAS and TIMELINE do not appear.,nor after a couple of days of
trying (my limit with newstuff) I cannot get the project into the timeline complete so i can start to fine edit etc.
do i have to reload each clip again? ie start over or is there a way of reloading the closed project so i can go from where i left off?
hope the cavalry can help....

The Sequence icon looks like this:
You may have to trash your FCE Preference files.
This will reset FCE to it's default installed settings.
Searching this forum will tell you how.

How can I load a pdf-file into a byte[]?

Hello,
I would like to load a PDF-File into a byte-Array. How can I do this? The standard Streams shouldn't work because this can't be converted into characters. Can it? So, what does work?
Any idea?
Bye,
Wolfang

Why would someone not do:
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("foo.pdf");
byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
for(int len=-1;(len=is.read(buf))!=-1;)
baos.write(buf,0,len);
is.close();
baos.flush();
baos.close();
buf = baos.toByteArray(); // Here are you bytes!You don't need to know the exact size, let ByteArrayOutputStream do it for you. Streams are generally for bytes, Readers/Writers generally for characters. Why exactly did you say: ``The standard Streams shouldn't work because this can't be converted into characters?''

How can I load a .TXT file into a dynamic text box?

I am sure that many people know how to load a .txt file into
a dynamic text box. But I do not. I want to be able to reference a
txt file from the server into the text box. So that when I change
the text file it changes in the flash movie without even editing
the flash file itself. Thank you.
