Exporting out of Logic to Pro Tools

What's the best way of exporting only vocal tracks out of Logic express 7? I need to have each track as separate .wav or .aiff files and be able to import them into Pro Tools 6.4 for a mix so they're all in time as they were recorded in Logic. I myself don't own Logic, it's the vocalist who uses it.... so I'm going to be going over to get the exports, copy them to disk and bring them back to my studio. What's the easiest way?

The easiest (and very boring) way is to bounce each track in .wav or .aif or .sd2 and then port them into your studio.
A shortcut (but, as quality, it's not the same as bounce) could be to freeze all the tracks and take away the frozen files folder.

  • Can i use my snowball usb mic with Logic or Pro Tools???

    Can i use my snowball usb mic with Logic or Pro Tools???

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

    Exporting a 93min 1920x1080 HD timeline to OMF
    5 second handles tried 2 second handles as well.
    OMF won't export out of final cut pro. Get error message there is a 2 gb limit.
    Final cut 6.0.6
    Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

    Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
    Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
    You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

  • Have the makers of Logic or Pro Tools given any thought to the Df/deaf producers wishing to use these programs?

    Have the creators of Logic or Pro tools given any consideration to the Df/deaf musicians wishing to produce with these programs? They just rely on visual arrangement of sonic information that must be 'listened' to to throughout composition. There must be away of improving this inaccessibility.

  • Logic and Pro Tools

    Hello all. I"ve got a few questions concerning Logic and Pro Tools. First, can you trigger Logic's sounds in Pro tools? ie Logic as the "slave" and Pro Tools as the "master" And can you record vocals into Logic using an MBox 2 or is there some other interface I need? If so, what would you suggest?
    Thanks in advance for your time

    You can use an Mbox2 with logic. If you already have pro tools, or plan on having it in addition to logic, thats what I would do, as both programs can use the mbox2. Although, they can't both use it at the same time. Which leads to this.
    It is possible to have pro tools running using the mbox2 while logic is running, using your computers soundcard. I have done this, but I have found no real way to synch them. I've been looking at ways of syncing Logic and Pro Tools together on the same computer, and it seems to be not really doable, although I believe people have done it. A lot of people have one computer for Logic and one for Pro Tools and sync them together with time code, which works really well.
    I'm really pretty new to logic, so I'm sure I dont have the best answers,
    Good Luck!

  • Logic 8 Export Audio to Video using Pro Tools HD hardware

    Hello everyone,
    I am having problems with the "Export Audio to Video" Function in Logic 8. Logic will go through the export process just fine, but when I open the export elsewhere with logic closed there is no audio. The video plays fine. I have read that this function was broken in logic 7, and doesn't work with intel based macs. BUT, I am using logic 8 with a Power PC. One thing that might have an effect on this is we are not using the standard core audio driver. We are using our digidesign HD Hardware(Sync I/O, two 192 I/O's) for recording and playback. I set this in the audio prefs by choosing DAE as our audio driver. Im guessing this has something to do with the audio not bouncing out, or bouncing out to some weird unknown location and I cant find it. we have figured out a work around, but its time consuming and not so accurate. if anyone has any ideas please let me know!!!!!!
    thanks.......

    Well, I can't find it. I remember he said it was working fine under PT 7.3.1.
    I assume it would work under Core Audio using the Digi hardware, just not the DAE or DTDM features. If you're new to Logic then the Core Audio will be enough to get you up and running.
    Just from reading the manual the DTDM features don't seem to be any different than earlier versions. I was hoping for more surround support, but I guess I won't really know until I test it what is and is not possible. Currently I run ProTools on a MacPro and Logic on a G5 and link them with MTC, and I can always keep this approach if I find it's more flexible.

  • Logic 8 - Pro Tools - and back again... suggestions?

    Hi all,
    I have the opportunity to add real drums, recorded at a really nice, professional studio, to my songs. I have a modest home studio centered around Logic and live drums just aren’t a reality for me at home.
    This studio only runs PT. In the past I’ve moved from format to format by bouncing all the audio tracks from bar one / beat one (because I’ve never been able to just import the raw audio files into the new app and have them line up) to new audio files and importing them into the new project. This can be very time consuming, so here’s my question:
    Is there any faster / better way to get from platform to platform? It seems this "OMF" thingy might be of some help but I've never used it before and I know very little about the way PT works. I know that I can just mute the sequenced drums I already have and bounce a stereo mix for the drummer to play to in the PT session. It’s getting all those track of drums out of PT and back into Logic at home that I’m wondering about.
    Thoughts? Musings?? Anecdotes? All help is appreciated, and thanks a lot!!!

    To expand on David's excellent advice...
    Bounce a stereo track from within Logic, that your drummer will play to. Just make sure the bounce starts at bar 1, beat 1, as indicated in the locator boxes from the bounce window.
    Note the tempo of your song.
    In a new Pro Tools session, set the tempo the same, and import the stereo track you bounced from Logic. Make sure it is placed at bar 1, beat 1. (I believe it imports to this location by default).
    Record your drums.
    When finished, consolidate the files (option/shift/3 in PT). These will create contigous audio files that start from bar 1, beat 1. Just make sure you select ALL the drum tracks, and that the start point in PT's locator window is at bar 1, beat 1.
    You may also need to Export the drum tracks, if they were recorded to the studio's HD. After consolidating, hit command/shift/K. This will bring up a navigational box, asking you where you want these newly consolidated audio files to go. Select your external drive.
    When you get back to Logic, simply import all the drum tracks. If you took several takes, utilizing PT's playlists, you'll notice that PT puts a 1 after the names of the second playlist, a 2 after the third playlist, etc...
    So you'll have sometng like Kick (take 1), Kick.1 (take 2) Kick.2 (take 2), etc...
    You can then import all these audio files into Logic, placing them at bar 1, beat 1.
    If you want to sift through the seperate drum takes, put each take into a folder. Do a search here, as that method of comping drums from wihin Logic has been discussed in deatail many times here.

  • Logic and pro tools transfer  with OMF or AAF

    Hi
    has anybody experience with the transfer from Pro Tools 6.9 session
    into LOGIC 7.1 and back to PT via OMF or AAF ??
    I need to know
    if this is really working now
    and what about the tdm/rtas plug ins and delay-compensation???
    would be nice
    if somebody has some infos about this
    before i buy the digitranslator from digidesign
    thanks
    chris

    IMO it's not worth the money to transfer OMF
    with Digitranslator. To consolidate is free and
    there is no hassle with OMF. My experience with
    Digitranslator Demo (v. 6.3) was quite frustrating,
    the newer versions I didn't test.
    From the Logic side I wanted to do an OMF transfer
    from Cubase SX 3 to Logic Pro 7.1 and Logic refused
    with an error to import the OMF file. Cubase had no problems
    with his own OMFs, but Logic had.
    So may be I did something wrong, but I had no time
    to check out the different OMF formats.
    Anyway, I continue to consolidate.

  • How do I get a descent sound level and quality when exporting out of Logic ??

    Hi guys,
    I know this topic's been discussed many times before but I still can't fix my problem
    I'm going crazy right now. It's been weeks I've been working on beats on Logic and I think they now sound pretty cool.
    So I'm trying to export them out of Logic on mp3,or wav, or aiff but everytime it comes out very low. So when I'm applying different tips (limiter, adaptative limiter and different things I found on the internet... ) the sound level is a bit higher but still the quality is not as good as it is on Logic
    So here's my questions : first, is it possible to get the exact same quality as the one you have when listening into logic ?
    then how to get the best quality with a normal sound level  so when you listening to the mp3 or wave or aiff on itunes just after a normal song you don't have to turn the sound up
    Thank you very much for you help !!
    Ben

  • How do you export separate audio tracks for Pro Tools?

    I need to give separate audio tracks to my sound mixer but am confused on how to do so in FCP X.
    So far I've:
    Set the dialogue roles and stems for each character
    Then I went into Master File>Settings
    Selected:
    "Format: Audio Only"
    "Audio File Format: Wav File"
    "Roles as: Audio only as separate files"
    "Dialogue"
    Sara
    "Stereo"
    And when I export and listen back to the wav file, there is either no audio or I hear select dialogue.
    The only thing I can think of that I am doing wrong, is that each characters dialogue is not on the same track like the picture below. The tracks highlighted is of one character's dialogue that I am trying to export onto one linear track to export into Pro Tools.
    Can tracks be assigned in FCP X? Or is there a crucial step that I am forgetting tthat explains why the audio for each character is not being exported.
    Thanks!

    If you're dumping audio for ProTools, you should be able to export XML for use in PT. Haven't done it myself, but the option's been there for a while now. You should be able to find instructions easily.
    If you want to stick with making Roles work, I suggest making sure the roles are assigned properly to each clip. Kind of a super pain in the neck, to go one by one, but ... that's the way. There are key commands for the three default roles, but if you've created custom ones then it's more time consuming. Is that 'Sara' one a custom Role that you've created?
    My only thought is you have compound audio clips there. Maybe go in and set the roles on the individual files inside the compound clips. Dunno...
    The visual organization shouldn't matter (one track above another). That's the X way.
    ((In your picture, you say you have some files selected. When I select, I get a yellow border; yours are light green and dark green. What is that?))

  • Import iMOVIE with sound? Export Final Cut Project to Pro Tools?

    I am considering the 30 day free trial for Final Cut Pro X. I have a new Macbook Lion laptop.
    I made a short film in iMOVIE 09 on my new laptop. I am getting it professionally scored next week. Can I seamlessly transfer iMOVIE project into Final Cut Pro X so that it keeps all my audio tracks? For example, I have natural background sound on many video clips. I have also added "monster" sound effects all over the place. I have voiceover here and there as well. So I am wondering if I import iMOVIE project to Final Cut Pro X are all the sounds merged (I don't want this) or does the project appear in Final Cut Pro X just like it does in my iMOVIE (video clip with a few audio clips under it)?
    Second question - The audio post company would need to export the project from Final Cut Pro X to a software program called Pro Tools. There are a whole bunch of "preferences" needed to be checked off to make sure they get project the way it should be. However, my question is does anyone know if Final Cut Pro X is compatible with Pro Tools Software?
    FYI - if I don't do the above I was told I need to make 8-9 copies of DVD of movie in iMOVIE. One would be video with natural sound when I filmed and all other sound turned off. Another DVD would be just voiceover sound and all other sound turned off etc... The audio post company needs each sound isolated so they can manipulate audio levels etc. This sounds like pain in butt which is why I am attempting to see if I can do the above.
    Thanks, Todd

    Thank you all for help. Spoke to engineer at audio post company. I told him it sounds like that I can export iMOVIE project to Final Cut Pro X and keep audio tracks. However, I cannot export Final Cut Pro X project to Pro Tools. Hence, no point in moving iMOVIE project to Final Cut Pro X.
    The engineer told me to make Quicktime files of the 4 minute movie with each different audio track. He said as long as the track does not overlap I can have multiple sounds... for example, if my voiceover occurs from 0 sec. to 30 sec and that is only sound then I can keep in a monster sound that occurs from 1 minute to 1 minute 30 sec. etc.
    I did forget to ask him one question. One filmmaker noticed that I had stereo monster sounds and mono monster sounds. I would think most people would not notice difference but the filmmaker did. Not sure if this company can fix something like that?
    Thanks again for all your help. The thing that is weird about all of this is if I buy the latest and greatest Final Cut Pro X and make my next project from scratch with it I still won;t be able to export using Pro Tools... Sounds like Pro Tools only works with Final Cut.

  • Yet another Logic Vs.Pro Tools question. Please help!!

    Hi guys! I just arrive to the world of mac a few days ago, and I couldn't be happier. Now it's time to purchase new audio gear, and I am torn between Logic Studio/Apogee interface, or the Digi 003. I've been a Sonar user for the past couple of years, and before that I was on Cubase.
    I love Sonar, but I'm sick of PC's(hence the switch). I need something with good compositional/midi tools, but I also need powerful audio editing. One thing I love about Sonar is the ability to use non-destructive editing in the arrange window. Can the new logic do this? Currently I am leaning towards logic...but I still haven't made a decision. I definitely need drum programming ability, and I'm not sure if Pro Tools le even has a drum map? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Taking just the key points above, Logic will definitely fit the bill better. Logic seems to be a better compositional tool, although PT can also be used for that. Both do SOME non-destructive editing in the arrange windows. Protools has no drum editor at all.
    However, PT is still better at audio editing.
    It would depend on how much audio editing you plan on doing vs midi/composition.
    The above poster is certainly in the ballpark about the add-ons you have to buy with PT just to equal the tools that come with Logic. I would say you'll probably have to spend at least another $1000 on plugin instruments and utility tools (CD burning/mastering) above the cost of PTLE software. Assume you will need at least the Music Production Toolkit in addition to PTLE. You will also want Toast Titanium to burn CDs unless you get Logic w/Waveburner.
    The 003 will definitely not sound as good as the Apogee.
    I've used PTLE since 1999 and it's great for recording and editing audio, but nothing special for writing and nothing special for midi.

  • Logic with Pro Tools HD upgrade

    Hi -
    We're using Logic 7.1.1 with a Pro Tools HD system. I'm not at the system right now, but it must be Pro Tools 6.9.x because the machine is running 10.4.5.
    When we load large templates with lots of TDM tracks and inputs, Logic quits without any kind of message about 1/3 of the time. The whole machine crashes about every 10th relaunch of Logic. The problem is definitely related to large TDM setups.
    My question is: can I expect more stable performance if I upgrade to Logic 7.2 and Pro Tools HD 7 ?
    Thanks for any input.

    oh yes, on a new Mac Pro...surely, but what are your experiences with these combination?
    I´m using 48 Channels I/O with many outboard equipment on a HD 3 Pro Tools DAE ,,, Logic 7 is running and the DAE maschine is working...:))) cool what?
    now we must talk about "all native" to use Pro Tools Hardware and Logic 9 because the 2 "Legends" are not able to create a stabile contact since 2004 in DAE mode...
    now I`m interested what user, who worked with logic in DAE Mode ....- whats the way?
    regards
    Chris

  • 7.1 to 7.2 Logic and Pro Tools 7 disaster!!!

    I just installed Pro Tools 7.1cs4 and worked on it last night with all of my plug-ins including NIK2, TLSpace, etc.. Today I tried running Logic 7.1 in DAE mode and crashed my computer. Now Logic crashes every time and ProTools lost all my NI instrumnents and the install of TLSpace. I know that I need 7.2 to run this properly (my copy is in the mail as we speak..) What do I have to do to get back and running? Where did my plug-ins in Pro Tools go?

    AJ...I agree the see-saw act for the last two months has been more than annyoning.
    The bad news is PT7.1cs4 and anything but Logic 7.2 won't play well together using CORE AUDIO (DIGI)/DAE/TDM.
    The good news is that Logic 7.2 crossgrade and PT7.1cs4 do actually work] together. I know...I know $50 here...$50 there. But if you must run audio inside Logic...
    Don't know about your situation...but you would be able to slave Logic 7.1 to PT7.1. This might not provide you with everything you need though. But it does work.
