Garageband3 files and Logic Express 7.1.1

I gather there's a problem bringing GB3 files into LE 7. (I know I'm having a problem. They seem to import OK -- well, except for the error message about a missing plugin -- but then when I hit the play button, I don't get any sound. GB2 files don't seem to have that problem.) But exactly where is that information stated plainly and simply for those us who are very new to LE? I've been searching this site now for an hour and all I found was one post that said something like "you know by now that you can't open GB3 files in LE," which confirms that there's a problem, but it isn't precisely true. (They do open. I just can't do anything with 'em afterward.)
So the question -- is there any plainly stated information on this site about problems with GB3 files and LE3? And if so, where? I'd like to know what the story is.

I am pretty new to Logic Express, so please bear with me while I mumble...
I found that when importing GB-3, Logic brings in all tracks set to have no output. Going through the tracks and giving each of them Output1-2 instead of a bus in their I/O section made everything seem to work fine.

Using non apple wav files in logic express 9

Does anyone know how i can use non apple files in logic express 9.i have put them in Bin but cannot get them to play via my midi keyboard.thanks

Actually i am not sure i really understand your question because it seems to me that in your subject heading you are asking about " wav " files which are audio files but in your message you refer to playing those files via your midi keyboard which indicates you are trying to play " midi " files and not " audio " files.
If you want to play a audio file:
Create and audio track in a project and the import the "wav" file into that audio track and it should play as an audio file when hit the play button in the transport controls.
Please clarify what type of file you want play using LExpress 9 to give us a better idea as to how to help you.

No sound when i import garage banmd files into logic express 7.1

i have garage band 3.0.4 and logic express 7.1. i just acquired both of these recently and have been trying to transfer my old garage band 2 files into LE. i have no problems putting my songs into garage band 3 but when i open them in logic theres no sound output. everything appears to be working, all the meters light up except the output master all the way at the end of the mix window. i dont get it. some of my GB2 files opened in LE with no problems but others, made with gb3 or exported from gb2 to gb3, wont work. i messed with the preferences, the sound is set to core audio but im still perplexed. anyone else had this problem? help!

thanks, ill give it a try. ive noticed that i dont have any problems when i open my GB2 files directly into LE. its only when i go through GB3. its really a drag, because i just updated and it seems theres no going back. pretty disappointing if you ask me. i updated to GB3 because of its much hyped "resolutions" of old problems, and here i am stuck with new problems. bah! thanks for the help anyway. if anyone knows of an easier/more efficient way to deal with this issue, let me know! thanks again.

Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express

Can someone explain the difference between Logic Pro, Logic Studio and Logic Express?

Hi,
I don't think your friend is right on this. When you install Logic X, only the most essential part will be downloaded. After that you open Logic X, and from within the program you can download all the other content. Logic will look if you already have Logic 9 content on your harddisk, so it won't download files that are already present. So, after all is downloaded, all files are on your harddisk, just like Logic 9. By the way, Logic 9 will still be available after installing Logic X.
Whether you will experience crashes will be very hard to prodect, because these will be caused by unforeseen combinations of your computer, audio interfaces, maybe even other hardware, kernel extensions etcetera. If you wait for a couple of months, updates of Logic X will probably have less crashes. As said, on my computer it's just as solid as Logic 9.
Garittan will probably advise a fast harddisk to prevent complaints when people are pushing the plugin to the edge. I would expect that it's not a black/white story.
The AUMatrixreverb can be found in any audio plugin slot completely at the bottom: Audio Units > Apple > AUMatrixReverb.
About the Epiano: in Logic Express there is only the Garageband Epiano, I think. Logic Pro 9 had a great ePiano that they gave a new name and changed a bit in Logic X. Both very nice.
Yes, you may be right, not too many drums with brushes in Logic X, I think. Or does anybody else know where to look??
Kind regards,
Jaap

Actually I have found a way for at least the instrument plug ins to be accessed.
I was able to set up an instance of Sculpture in MS2 and record it in LE using Soundflower.
Route the audio from MainStage to Logic and record onto an audio track in Logic as follows:
If not already installed, get SoundFlower. After installing it.
A) Setup the sound you want in MS2 and audio output to Soundflower (remember to Apply Changes or it does not hold).
B) In Logic Express set the audio input to Soundflower and create a new audio track for recording. Important: set Soundflower's audio output to however you listen to your audio or you won't hear anything.
C) Press RECORD and start playing, LE captures Mainstage's sound.
I have not tried to wire LE's output to MS2 to take advantage of Space Designer. but since this functions, I'm not sure why that couldn't work as well. It is still flipping though a few screens though...might just be easier to get Logic Pro from the App store....

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!?

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Can I rewire GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7?

Can I rewire (I mean using the Rewire Program) GarbageBand2 and Logic Express 7? Can either one be master and the other slave? My first guess is that I would like to go as far as I can with GB2 as the master and then make Logic Express 7 the master and create a multi-tempo song with perhaps other editing possible through Logic Express.

I got into garageband because, I, a songwriter, have a song for which I want to make a good demo. I am still trying to learn GarageBand. I would stay with GarageBand the whole way except that the song has two tempos and GarageBand can't do it. Thus I am buying Logic Express. But I don't want to learn anymore about Logic Express than I have to, to get the job done. I will stay in GarageBand as much as I can.
Unfortunately, even if I can get my multi-tempoed song back into GarageBand with rewire, GarageBand can't handle the two tempos. So, for that reason, I have to write this off as a learning experience.

What are AL11 files and logical files

what are AL11 files and logical files

YES. these are the files that you use to load data.
Reg your question of how to see the data sources or view data, I replied yo your other question in other thread.
"is there any way by which we can check out that particular file in application server after the data has been loaded"
You can see this in data load monitor.
I dont know what do you mean by logical files.

Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?

Is it OK to install both Logic Pro and Logic Express on my computer?
I use Logic to perform live, but i only have 2 USB drives on my computer, and i use them during my performances, one for my keyboard, and one for my audio interface...........therefore, i dont have room to plug in the "node key" in order to use Logic Pro.
So is it ok for me to have Logic Express installed, too?? This way, I dont need to plug in the "node key" (or whatever it's called).
I know i can buy a USB hub, but i cant afford one right now.
Thanks, daddies!

I installed both on my PB 12" - no problem at all
cheers!

Garageband Files on Logic Express and vice versa

My daughter uses Logic Express at school (sorry, I don't know which version). She has been trying to do her homework on our eMac (OS 10.3.9) using Garageband 1 and her M-Audio midi/usb keyboard via USB.
Her teacher says that Garageband files should work fine with Logic Express and vice versa.
The problem is they don't. We have tried importing files, also saving in one programme and opening in the other - all to no avail.
Presumably we are doing something wrong somewhere. Does anyone know how to get Logic Express to use Garageband 1 files and vice versa, please?
One more point of information, she saves the files to a 'PikaOne Slim Flycase' 40gb Portable HD to take to school to use on an Apple Laptop type computer (Powerbook?). Both home and school machines appear to be working perfectly with this device.
She also has some software called 'Logic Hit Kit' but I don't think this is has anything to do with Logic Express. It's files do not work with Logic Express either

That is correct, and you still have your level
status, it just doesn't show. I read in The Lounge
(for level 4 & 5) that they were planning to return
the level status and custom icons to the forum. But
it has been a long time now, and they haven't. I miss
my custom icon
Yes, apparently they intend to at some point. But, they have more pressing things to attend to first, so it might be a while. I have discovered that there's a special forum about this.

Garageband and Logic Express duplicate files

Hey,
I've been using Garageband 3 and am interested in upgrading to logic express 7 series. Are any of the loops, sounds, amps, software instruments,etc that are in garageband also in logic express. I guess what i'm saying is it worth the money to upgrade or will I be getting the same sounds and amps and things in I already have in garageband with some extra features and the ability to record in 24 bit. Does logic express have many more sounds, filters, software instruments, samplers than does garageband.thanks

Hi when you upgrade to LE7 you have 4 gigs of sounds that are not in GB
plus you have the option of installing GB sounds but if you already have them on your computer then Logic will recognize them
hope this helps

Final Cut Studio 2 Apple Loops, Jam Packs and Logic express 8 installation?

Hi(Bonjour)!
I've currently use Final Cut Studio 2 +Soundtrack Pro 2.0.2+ application with all included Apple Loops.
I own several Jam Pack Apple Loops packages (with a less than impressive integration with Garage Band for older one).
I purchased Logic Express 8 pro today.
Is there more Apple Loops files included with Logic express 8 than with Soundtrack Pro 2?
What is the best way to install Logic express 8 Apple Loops to avoid duplicate loops files?
Thank You.
Michel Boissonneault

Well, the installation was very simple, no duplicate files and tight integration of GarageBand loops and JamPacks.

Can't open any files in Logic Express 8

Hi out there,
I just installed Logic Exp. 8 out of the box. Runs nice as far as i can tell, but has a major bug with me: It won't open any projects or other files.
If i click the Projects in the Finder, they will open just fine. But I can't open them in Logic.
Import of Files into a project works fine.
Ideas anyone? Update anyone (wink, wink to apple)?
Cheers,
Fox

You may be having the same problem I observed, and I think it may be a bug.
After upgrading to Logic Express 8, when I save projects they appear as a folder rather than a file in the finder, with the .logic suffix. Previous versions saved projects as a .iso file. On another machine I upgraded Logic Pro to Logic Studio 8, and here projects are saved as a .logic file. My guess is the .logic file created is supposed to be a file for both Logic Pro and Express, with package contents under OS X ... but for some reason this is appearing as a folder when created by Logic Express, with the package contents visible ... so you can't double click on anything to open them.
Has anyone else seen this? is there a workaround or is this a bug?
In the meantime, note that you can launch the Logic Express .logic 'folders' by dragging the and dropping the entire .logic folder onto the Logic Express icon in the dock.

Opening Garage Band files in Logic Express

I'm a school music teacher and have just started using Logic Express 7 to open kids' Garage Band files for tidying up and polishing.(Still a beginner with logic I'm afraid!) Have just purchased Logic Express 8 update, but haven't installed it because I heard that it won't open Garage Band 3 files. Is this true? If so, is it possible to have both 7 and 8 running independently on the computer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The original release of LE8 had a bug which required a workaround to open GB files. The subsequent 8.0.1 update fixed that. After you install LE8, go to Software Update and install the 8.0.1 update and you will be fine.
