Can't load Logic Pro X loops.

I can't get my Logic loops to appear in FCP X 10.1.1
I have repeatedly opened Logic Pro X and FCP X and also trashed the preferences to no avail.
Dragging the "Logic" folder to the FCP X music browser does no good as not even a + sign will appear.
I'm desperate as I have a vital deadline in 5 minutes!

OK I've got a result but it's left my Music and Sound browser looking very untidy.
I couldn't get Logic to load itself and eventually had to drag my Apple Loops folder into the top part of the window (which I had forgotten existed as it was hidden) where it is now residing as a Folder, which can be deleted if I wish.
Unfortunately there are a number of items listed such as Garageband and Logic etc. which are not folders but are empty and I cannot delete these.
Is there any way of deleting items that are not actually Folders?

  • Do you have to add effects to Logic Pro X loops when mixing a song?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question that has been puzzling me and I cannot seem to find an answer for! I have searched high and low on the internet and still cannot find the answer and so I would be grateful to everyones help with this issue.
    My question is that you hear so much about the fact that when you are recording and mixing a track that different instruments for example the Bass Drum and the Bass guitar occupy similar frequencies and we are told that this is why you have to add effects to these instruments when mixing but what I want to know is are they talking about just organic instruments like real drums and a real bass guitar that you manually play and record to Logic Pro X`s audio tracks? Or should you treat the Loops exactly the same? And should you also add effects to the Logic Pro X loops when you are mixing those specific tracks?
    For example if I add a Drum Loop or Bass Loop to a project and then start mixing the song should I add any effects for example EQ, Compression to these Loops? And what would be the best effects to add to the Bass and the Drums when mixing to help them stand out in the mix?
    Many thanks.

    Whoever told you that overly generalized rule, please stop listening to that person .
    The way you post your question (and they are good questions) points out a big problem nowadays. There is so much cookie cutter solutions out there like if you have this, then use that, if you want to get this sound, press that button. The problem with that is that you you often have no idea why you are doing that in the first place.
    Let me give you a simple example about gardening (sorry about that). If I grow tomatoes and look up on the internet how often to water them, I can find an answer "water the tomatoes once a week". I might do that and result is that the tomatoes will die. What I didn't take into account is that the advice was given from someone growing tomatoes in Russia, and I live in California where I might need to water them once a day. So, the answer you are looking for is not "how often to water the tomato", instead you have to learn how much water, depending on your climate, the tomato needs"
    Your music is the tomato. So the question is not what button to press (how often to water), but what button needs to be pressed, depending on your specific recordings (your climate).
    If your bass drum and and bass guitar are more further apart frequency wise, then there might be no need to EQ them, it depends
    Nobody should or could tell you what to do, unless he or she sits next to you at the mix and "hears' what is going on and what needs to be done.
    Don't get me wrong, I don't say that there is a lot of great advice and general guidelines out there. The problem is when you apply that blindly without knowing a little bit why that advice is give and how to apply that, or if it applies to your situation at all.
    In addition: The skills and knowledge about the theory is as important as the skills and experience of listening and judging your recording/mix and decide what action to take.You have to learn what to listen to and what you hear. If you don't know how distortion sounds then you miss out on fixing that issue. If you don't know how a pumping compressor sounds, then you miss out on fixing that issue.
    I think you get the idea
    Hope that helps

  • Can I put Logic Pro EXS samples on an SDXC card?

    Can I put Logic Pro EXS samples on an SDXC card With my iMac? I was thinking the Apple loops as well.

    My newest WD Caviar (Green also, any with 64MB cache) are noticeably faster - on any of the internal drive bays. The 500GB Black was slow compared to 640GB model.
    But I often use a two drive stripe as well, using 10K VRs (450GB model is $200 ea for fast 900GB storage volume).
    Mac Pro 2009, you have 5 internal spots for hard drives and much more convenient. I thought you were going to say you wanted to take your home folder with you, which does work just fine btw.
    WD Black 2TB is also very fast - and cheaper than 10K VR 450.

  • Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?

    Can you use soundtrack pro's loops in your youtube videos or do you need to purchase a license since it is royalty free?
    I understand they are royalty free, I am just confused about using the actual loops for films, videos, etc - if there is a special license you must purchase or what?
    Yes sure, it's a library and may be used a lot - but is it legal or against agreement?
    And to clarify - what about music I create on the program , that is ok right?

    If you purchased the software you have the right to use the loops that came with the software in the software to make whatever you want.

    Borrow someone else's Mac that has a DVD drive fitted and use that via Remote Disk
    Note:
    There is no legal means of downloading available for Logic Pro 9.. unless you originally purchased it via the App Store..
    Therefore, in your case, you must install from the DVDs you have...

    Thanks folks

    You should be able to copy all the files from your old computer, although it might not work if the old machine didn't have an intel processor. When I got a new Mac a few months ago, I used the migration assistant to copy everything from my old computer's time machine backup disk. All my old pro apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6, work fine on the new machine under Lion.
    Later, I wanted to install Soundtrack pro and couldn't do it from the original disks. So I installed it on my old machine and copied the files. It worked perfectly.

  • Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

    Hi, is  the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
    If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

  • Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?

    Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?  My former PC ran on Windows XP and this new PC runs on Windows 7.  I don't want to shell out another $449 when Acrobat Pro 9 worked fine for me.

    You might be able to install Acrobat 6 for this purpose, but you probably won't have to. When you install Acrobat 9 Upgrade it should (if I remember right) ask for the serial number of your "qualifying" product and at that point you put in the Acrobat 6 serial.

  • Can i update logic pro 9 to x or do i have to rebuy it?

    can i update logic pro 9 to x or do i have to rebuy it?

    The full price of Logic Pro was reduced during the life of Logic Pro 9 to be only a fraction of the original price.  Thus, the full price today is still cheaper than the old model for upgrade prices.  Net result - just buying the new version when one comes out (e.g. Logic Pro X) costs about the same, if not less than upgrades did in the past, but with the added bonus that if you're a new customer, you pay a far cheaper price first time round.
    Everyone's a winner!
