Garageband 10 project compatability?

Hello
I'm an aspiring musician, and I use Garageband(6.0.5) a lot for my production work as it is simple and really effective.
I do this on my Macbook Pro.
However, I shift my work to my studio for further mixdown, which uses Logic 9.
I've been considering the update to Garageband v10 for a while now, but I'm concerned about the project files opening in Logic 9.
Ive had no issues so far. My .band files now open seemlessly in Logic, and I'm able to complete my work.
Will I be able to even after the update to v10?
Or will it require an update to Logic X as well?
Thanks and cheers

A GarageBand 6.0.5 Project can be opened in Logic 9 and Logic Pro X
A GarageBand X Project can only be opened in Logic Pro X. Logic 9 doesn't understand the new Project file and you will get an error message. As you can see by the text of the error message, L9 doesn't even know that this is a GarageBand file. It thinks that the file is a Logic file.
Opening a GarageBand X Project in Logic Pro X is no problem, because GarageBand X is basically just a light version of Logic Pro X. If you need any help with learning either GarageBand or LPX, I have written graphically enhanced manuals for both apps "GarageBand X - How it Works" and "Logic Pro X - How it Works", both are also available as interactive multi-touch iBooks on the iBooks Store.
Using both GarageBand and Logic is now very easy, because Logic has a special mode where you can disable features which makes it easy to transition from GBX to LPX. It even adds the wooden sidebars in Logic to make the GarageBand user feel more at home.
Hope that helps

Hello, can I still play Garageband 9 projects/loops in Garageband 10, and how? Thank you

Hello,
Can I still play GarageBand 9 projects/loops in GarageBand 10, and how?
Do I need to re-install iLife11 to be able to play GarageBand 9 projects/loops in 11?
Thanks in advance

GarageBand 10 needs the loops and instruments from Garageband ´09 or ´11 installed to be able to play the older projects with all sounds. Otherwise instruments and loops may be missing. If you uninstalled GarageBand completely, reinstall iLife '11 to be able to use the older instruments and loops in GarageBand 10. before you install GarageBand 10.0.
GarageBand 10. comes only with a basic set of instruments and needs to be expanded by an in-app purchase. If you have GarageBAnd '11 installed, you should be able to get the in-app purchase for free. Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase

Can't seem to get to garageband 10 projects to open in logic pro x

Can't seem to get garageband 10 projects to open in logic pro x. I know it should be easy, but it always opens as an empty project without giving any notification of a problem. Earlier versions of garageband seem to transfer fine. However, if i save the earlier version projects as garageband 10 projects, they again fail to import into logic pro x.
Any suggestions?

Do you get the Dialog Window (that lets you save the GarageBand Project as a new Logic Project) when you open the original GarageBand Project? After you save it a Progress Bar should appear and then the Project opens in Logic.
Works on my machine without a problem.

FCS 2 Leopard/Tiger project Compatibility

Howdy Gang
I'm in the Television business and work with FCS 2 at work as well as at home. Recently I upgraded my home machine (intel iMac core duo) to leopard. Since the upgrade I've been having project compatibility problems. When I get home with a project I created at work, I get a message saying that the project is from an older version of FCS, and if I continue without Saving As, I'll not be able to open the project back up on the Tiger machine at work. I'm running updated versions of FCS 2 on both machines, but one is leopard and one is Tiger. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If any more info would help just let me know.

I have the same problem. Work OS is Tiger 10.4.11, home machine is Leopard 10.5.x (not in front of it) and both have FCS2 installed on them. The versions are the same, I just did the updates, and yet I'm still finding that the Tiger version of FCP can't read the Leopard files. I haven't tried the reverse, yet, but I'm headed home to grab some stuff and will do so there.

Logic Express 7.2.1 - GarageBand 3 projects open correctly

If you've ever opened up a GarageBand 3 project into Logic Express 7.2 and heard no audio, you will want this new update. The main reason why GB 3 projects did not play sound when opened in Logic Express 7.2 is related to these projects using more busses than were available in Logic Express 7.2. Logic Express version 7.2.1 now features 12 busses, up from 8 in 7.2.
Hopefully, this will solve the majority of the 'no audio' issues GB users have when opening their projects into Logic Express.

Sweet eh?
Thanks & regards,
Jorge

How do I open GarageBand 09 project with the Amp and Pedals Plugins?

My client sent me via YouSendIt online me his GarageBand 09 v5.0.1 project to tune up Logic Pro 8.0.2. Upon opening the project I receive the message, "Warning! This Project was created by a newer Logic Pro version. This may cause problems. Please update Logic Pro." After I hit "OK", a message says, "Logic Pro: Plug-in “Pedals” not available!, and then "Logic Pro: Plug-in “AmpSim2” not available! Where can I download or get the update that I need for Logic Pro with the Pedals and AmpSim2 Plug-Ins and when will it be available? What other version of Logic Pro is there?

Quoted from Foxboy71:
"aren't the pedals plugs and these new gizmos AU Plugins? Then they should be able to be put into Logic somehow. If not, how did Apple implement them into Garageband (and why!)?"
The folowing excerpts were taken from a Sound On Sound article at http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/aug06/articles/applenotes_0806.htm
"This theory actually plays out, even at the moment, when you consider that every update to Logic includes features to make it compatible with songs created in the latest version of Garage Band. And some of these features have actually benefited the high-end user, such as Apple Loops, in a rare example of the low end driving the high end, as opposed to the other way around."

GarageBand Loops Projects Missing

I have a MacBook Air, trying to creat some loops using GarageBand, but I couldn't find Loops projects. Thanks
My GarageBand looks different than others
Here is a image I found on Google

Hey VectorC,
Thanks for the question. This is expected behavior, as you have a more recent version of GarageBand (you’ll notice that all of the options are different, not just Loops). Here are some screenshots from the latest version of GarageBand:

And here is how you can access Loops in the new version:

Intel and PowerPC Final Cut project compatibility

I have two computers, a laptop and a desktop, that I use with Final Cut Studio. Both run PowerPC chips. If I purchase a new computer with the Intel chipset, will Final Cut projects be able to go back and forth between the Intel and PowerPC computers? I spend quite a bit of time editing on the road with my laptop then get back to the office and copy the project file over to my office computer. When going back on the road, I copy the project file from my office computer and put it back on my laptop so I can keep editing while traveling.
Thanks!

There is no compatibility issue between PowerPC and Intel as far as Final Cut Pro is concerned. You just have to make sure you have the same version of Final Cut on all machines, because older versions of Final Cut Pro will not open files created in newer versions. You don't have to worry about the processor.

Wha?? Garageband '08 projects won't open in Logic Pro 7.2.3!!!

I'm upset. I like starting recording projects using Garageband and then opening them up in Logic for more power after the rough arrangements are done. Just upgraded to iLife 08 and recorded a new tune using Garageband 08 and when I try to open the song in Logic is says: "Sorry - can't load this song because it is created by a newer Logic Pro version - Please update Logic Pro!"
Anyone aware of this? Any updates I'm not seeing?
Help...

GB 08 uses a .caf (?) for audio files/loops and not what has been used previously.
So maybe we are waiting for Logic 08 to be able to use this audio format.
Apparently the .caf file is something from soundtrack pro and it is a wrapper for all types of audio files.
Just going off the top of my head abut what I have read, so this may be slightly off target but I think that is the gist of it.
Hope ths helps

Transfer GarageBand iPad projects to logic on mac

Is there a way of transferring iPad GarageBand projects to logic pro 9 without the use of GarageBand?
I currently have the 08' version of GarageBand as I don't use it on my mac but trying to open a project from my iPad leads to an error message stating that I need to upgrade to the latest version.
Is there a workaround for this or is upgrading the only solution?

Yes, you need to update your version of Logic to 9.14 and above (the latest is 9.15)
Check this article out
http://9to5mac.com/2011/05/25/logic-pro-express-can-now-import-garageband-for-ip ad-projects/
Scroll down to the Logic 9.14 update

Formatting hard drive for project compatibility PC /Mac

I'm editing a project for a friend who uses PC. I bought a Lacie Quadra d2 drive for the project. The media files I'm being give are DV and WMV files, which my friend will copy to the drive.
So my question is: Will there be any compatibility issues and is there any way to avoid them?
Should I (or how should I) format hard drive before giving it to my friend? And will I be able to take drive back as is and work with the files?
I appreciate any guidance.

Download this free driver: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html#download and you can format the drive as NTFS, which both of you can read and write.
Once installed, NTFS will appear as a formatting option in Disk Utility.

CS6 project compatibility in PR CC?

Hello, So as mentioned in title i hope you've got the idea?
I've been trying to update to CC for since 3 months but current running projects are delaying since than,so i decided to update as it is. I'm sure CS6 projects can easily run on CC but just to ask here first?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
My apologies, I wrote the compatibility of going from cc to cs6.
Definitely you can open a cs6 project in cc 2014, it would automatically convert the project and it should work fine.
Thank You

Can I open/edit /save my Garageband 08 projects with Garageband 11?

Thanks

i doubt you'll find any speed increases, that will be more related to your hardware

Project compatibility: Leopard vs. Tiger, PowerPC vs. Intel

Gotta question... We are about to upgrade our older edit bay to a new mac pro, but it is VERY IMPORTANT to us to continue to share project files. The newer one is a G5 with OS 10.4.11, and obviously the new one will be a Mac Pro with 10.5.
Is there any published information on whether FCP 6.0.2 and Motion 3.0.2 projects are fully compatible across Leopard/Tiger machines and across Intel/PPC machines? I could not find any searching Apple's website.
I'm guessing some of you with rotating upgrade schedules have already faced this question!

Its not the OS version or PowerPC/Intel architecture that matters. Its the version of Final Cut Pro that matters. If both computers are using Final Cut 6.02 for example, then the project files will be exchangeable. On the other hand, if one machine has FCP 5.x and the other has 6.x, then the newer version will open the older version file, but once you save it with the newer version, you can't go back to the older version.
There are also some differences within major versions. Sometimes one 5.x release is not compatible with a 5.y release. I can't recall where the breaks were made. But it doesn't matter if you have the same point release on both machines.
If you mix Intel/PowerPC, then you'll at least need both machines to have FCP 5.1 or later since earlier versions aren't compatible with Intel processors.
