Getting logic pro 6 presets into logic pro 7 plugin menus

I have both logic pro 6 and logic pro 7. at one point when i first got logic pro 7 (logic pro 6 already installed) i had a menu in the plugin drop downs for both logic 6 pro and logic pro 7 plugins presets. how can i accomplish this again?

When I did this I just merged the libraries into the 7 directory after deleting dupes with proj man and then aliased this folder for Logic 6. I had 1 folder which both went to at the end of the day, with no duplicates. I was lazy and since I am not a preset guy I just let the V6 files with the same name go to the trash, then copied the folder to the other systems.

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.

Why am I not getting any input signal into logic X or GarageBand from my audio interface?

Hello all,
I'm completely new to all this so I will try my best here to give all the details needed.
So, I am using a Mac mini (2013 model: i7 overclocked at 2.6, 16 gbram) and a focusrite saffire pro 24DSP. Overall both are in perfect working order.
My problem, however, is that I am seemingly unable to get any form of signal from my saffire into either Logic X or GarageBand. I am trying to record guitar lined in and I have set all the settings in logic to what I think is right (software monitoring checked, output channels selected, saffire selected for both input and output) and I have set up my saffire mix control - I spent days reading the manual and watching online tutorials.
The saffire mix control is set up thus:
Input 1 - instrument
Daw 1+2 = GarageBand
Daw 3+4 = Logic X
Sample rate 41Khz
Master Output = stereo monitor mix (line outs 1 &2 to my monitor speakers)
Output 3+4 headphones
Is there anything missing here?
As far as this all goes, when I plug in my guitar I can get a very clear "raw" signal from the saffire mix control, but when I then go to set up a track in either DAW and assign the necessary line ins and outs, no matter what I do I cannot get an input signal, not even a partial one (I have the monitoring and record armed options checked btw). I am close to giving tearing my hair out.
I'm sure I am just missing something out?
Thanks in advance :-)

I've plugged into the interface a mic and an electric guitar.
I'm not sure what I did but the guitar is coming through (though it shows no signal on the interface). Mic input level on line, mic registers a tiny bit of sound when I hit the mic (on only one channel) but doesn't register any vocals when mic input is turned up to the max.
Odd thing: stereo/mono button reversed that is when the button is pushed in it equals stereo on the head phones when it says it should be mono and when the button is left unpushed it equals mono when it says it should be stereo.
Monitor is on and volume is at max.
GB system preferences don't list Input 1 or/and 2. Where do I find them?
I've tried everything I can think of. It feels as if I just need to find the right switch but I don't know where to look...

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.

Getting phone signal into Logic via M-Audio

To record phone calls on my land line, I got a Radio Shack Recording Control (43-228A), plugged it up, and set it to "Record." I plugged the 3.5mm plug into an adapter for 1/4 inch plug, which went into Input 1 on my M-Audio Fast Track Pro, from which point everything else is set as usual going into my Mac's FW. I made sure I had Input 1 selected, went to record as I spoke on a test call, and -- nothing but a hummmmmm. Just to be sure, I switched from line to mic input, and that didn't affect the hum.
Does anyone know of what details I may have overlooked here to get the phone signal into Logic? FWIW, I also tried with the chintzy little $8 suction-cup on the handset, since it also has a 3.5mm plug. Not even any hum.
I checked the usual suspects of "DUH" carelessness within Logic itself: making sure I matched the input to the M-Audio (tried both 1 and 2 anyhow), level up high, etc.
Also, would anyone recommend other procedures for telephone recording? I'd rather stick with land lines instead of Skype or iChat, since not everyone I'll be calling to interview will have those. Suggestions?
Thanks,
c

Getting Garritan into Logic???

I have a MacBookPro 2Ghz running on OSX.4.8, and I can't seem to get Garritan Personal Orchestra to run in Logic. Is it due to the new Pentium processor? If so, is there a way to at least get the Garritan sounds into Logic, if not the actual player itself?
Thanks,
Mike

That's what I was afraid of. Grrr. Don't think my teacher will accept "I have to wait for Garritan to convert to Tiger" as an excuse for me coming in with the crappy Logic instruments on Monday. Oh well. On the Garritan-Logic page there's a link that says they've converted the GSO library into EXS24, but when I click the link it crashes Safari. So I have two questions about that: A) Will that at least work for getting the sounds into Logic; B) Has anyone else had the same problem with that link or is it just me? (Probably something to do with Garritan not updating their website to work on Tiger....knowing my luck.....)

How to SIMPLY use the %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variables into logic scripts

hello,
I'm using a prompt of type "COPYMOVE" or "COPYMOVEINPUT". In this type of prompt, there are 2 columns of dimension members list, one for defining the "source zone" and one for defining the "target zone" of logics.
The left colum of the prompt (for source zone) feeds the variables %DIMENSION_SET% : %ACCOUNT_SET%, %ENTITY_SET%, %CATEGORY_SET%, etc...and these variables can be used in the logic scripts in *XDIM_MEMBERSET instructions for example.
The right colum of the prompt feeds the variables %DIMENSION_TO_SET% : %ACCOUNT_TO_SET%, %ENTITY_TO_SET%, %CATEGORY_TO_SET%, etc...and I don't know how to SIMPLY use these variables in the logic scripts.
I've found a tricky way to do that but I meet 2 problems :
- it is complicated
- the multi-info instruction (BEGININFO/ENDINFO) seems to be bugged as blank lines are added all the time in the code and sometimes I have to wait for minutes when I try to modifiy the package code through BPC for excel eData/modify package menu.
So the question is how to SIMPLY get the %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variables into logic scripts and use them ? Thanks, R.
Here is the tricky package code I use at this time (I build one function for each %DIMENSION_TO_SET% variable and I pass these functions to the logic) :
PROMPT(COPYMOVE,,,,"ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,TIME,YEARS")
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,WS-WW\PlauchuR)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,US)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,SV)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV\PrivatePublications\PlauchuR\TempFiles\FROM_1561_.TMP)
TASK(Execute formulas,TOSELECTION,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV\PrivatePublications\PlauchuR\TempFiles\TO_1561_.TMP)
BEGININFO(%FSS%)
*FUNCTION TARGETACCDETAIL=%ACCDETAIL_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETACCOUNT=%ACCOUNT_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETCATEGORY=%CATEGORY_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETDATASRC=%DATASRC_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETENTITY=%ENTITY_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETTIME=%TIME_TO_SET%
*FUNCTION TARGETYEARS=%YEARS_TO_SET%
ENDINFO
TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,%FSS%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,D:\BPC\Data\WebFolders\US\SV
..\AdminApp\SV\_TEST.Lgf)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
Edited by: ALEXANDRE BEDIER on Jun 16, 2010 3:15 PM

hello,
finally I've discovered that there is no need of BEGININFO instruction.
One can pass several functions to a logic with one FORMULASCRIPT task. The functions definitions have to be separated by instructions. See below :
PROMPT(COPYMOVEINPUT,%FTARGETS%,,"select source and target zone for category and datasource.","ACCDETAIL,ACCOUNT,CATEGORY,DATASRC,ENTITY,TIME,YEARS")
TASK(Execute formulas,FORMULASCRIPT,*FUNCTION TACCDETAIL=%ACCDETAIL_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TACCOUNT=%ACCOUNT_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TCATEGORY=%CATEGORY_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TDATASRC=%DATASRC_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TENTITY=%ENTITY_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TTIME=%TIME_TO_SET% *FUNCTION TYEARS=%YEARS_TO_SET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\_TEST.LGF)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
Then one will be able to use the functions TACCDETAIL, TCATEGORY, TACCOUNT,... in the logic script.

Importing .psd into Premiere Pro CC 2014

I am trying to import a Photoshop file (.psd) into Premiere Pro CC 2014. I've watched all these tutorials and they make it look so easy using Import > Adobe Photoshop file and then it appears in the source monitor--it seems to be the same as well on their tutorials. However, my .psd file which needs to have white font and does in Photoshop comes up as different color (black) and is much smaller. I am doing this in a 4K sequence, I understand the dimension aspect, but when I try to import I set as Single Layers and it doesn't matter--black font again. Is there something I am doing wrong in PS or PP or both? I would really appreciate your feedback because I'm in a rut and nothing seems to work. The Photoshop file is one that was preloaded for this band but it just does not import correctly. Any other options for getting a Photoshop file into Premiere Pro CC 2014 or AE. I also tried this in CS6 and was hoping to just copy and paste into CC 2014. I can't believe it is this hard. I must be doing something wrong especially since everyone else seems to do it so easy. Thanks for you help.

Importing a Final Cut Pro7's XML into Premiere Pro CS6 - 2

Hello, im trying to import an xml exported from Final Cut Pro 7 into Premiere Pro CS6, but Premiere returns me an error message saying that the sequence cant be opened because the codec cant be accessed.
The codec is Apple Prores 422 (HQ), and also all of the codecs that Final Cut Pro gives, dont appear as an option when Im creating a new project file. Only the standart DV, DVCPRO50 and DVCPROHD are available.
My quicktime is updated, and I already have Final Cut installed.
Can anyone help me please?

Importing Synth Names into Logic and the "environment"

Logic 7.2, OSX.4.something...
I'm brand spanking new to Logic (migrating from Opcode's Vision...) and I have 3 questions:
1) The Environment: I've read the user manual chapter on "The Environment" and I'm totally lost. Is there not a way that Logic can read what's attached to it via your MIDI interface/OSX MidiCore setup and create an environment based on this automatically? This would be a good starting point at least, but there's no mention in the manual of this function and it seems crazy that one would have to create each instrument, define each channel and so on down the line.
2) Once my synthesizer and their channels are defined how do you get synthesizer patch names into logic such that when I pick an instrument from the track or arrange window, I can see a list of all patches available in any given bank for that instrument and pick my sound (ie: send the bank or program change message....) This is not explained anywhere that I could find and I'm curious if there's a way to import via sysex or a universal librarian. I'm an old school Opcode Vision user and I have patch names for all my gear and I can't imgine having to type all the names and even if I did, there's nothing that explains how to do this and assign patch change and bank change commands. Can sombody explain or point me to a resource that explains in laymans terms how to set up ones MIDI environment based on their MIDICore setup and get patch names to come through.
3) Librarian: I can't find anything that talks about a way to manage patches and instruments within Logic and I need some method of being able to manage and get patches into Logic. Does Logic have a librarian or do I need a 3rd party program? If it doesn't have this, can somebody suggest a program that would meet this function and integrate with Logic such that I can import and manage patches?
I hope this makes sense to somebody....
Thanks WAY in advance....
G4800 quicksilver Mac OS X (10.4.7) Dual boot system

Hi and welcome fellow former Vision user. I too came from Vision a couple years ago
to answer
1) Yes, the 1st time you open logic it looks at your audio midi setup (AMS) to make a basic environment from the info there. if there no hardware synths listed there they will not show up in Logic. Unfortunately Logic does not come with any synth device lists to add to your AMS so there is none to choose from. you will have to define them or you can use the MOTU list. you can download a copy here http://www.digicake.com/midnam/ download the MOTU.sit MOTU uses these midnam files for bank and patch change info. Unfortunately Logic does not use the bank and program information in them, it sure would make setting Logic up much easier
2) To Get patch names into logic you can type them in one by one or use a word processor doc to import the names Pages 216 and 217 of the manual explain this
3) Librarian? well sort of... Emagic had one called SoundDiver that I think is still in beta testing for OSX but I am not real familiar with it do a google search and see what you come up with
I am hoping that someday Apple will use .middev and .midnam files to address outboard synths the same way DP does. That is why I use DP when I want to make standard midi files for outboard synths. DP is very similar to Vision in that way. but for everything else Logic rules

Using AKAI DPS16 wav. How do you import into Logic Express

i am using akai dps16 to record and burn as wav to disc but cant seem to get them to load into logic express so i can mix and process.do i need other software or am i just stupid ?

Hi,
You just need to read the AKAI manual, to see what format those CDs are being burned as. My best guess : PC data disc...

I'm trying to import a sequence into premiere pro and suddenly a few sections are 'media offline'

I'm trying to import a previous premiere pro sequence into premiere pro and suddenly a few sections are 'media offline' (it has always worked up until now). I would be able to relink the clips but the offending ones aren't showing up in the project's clip bin. To make things worse I can't drag and drop the corresponding clips from my finder into the clips bin and then 'replace clip with' in the timeline, as the clips in the project have been renamed, and are synced up to audio (this is a 90 minute feature film).
Can anyone help??!!

Right click on the offline clips and select Reveal in Project. This will call up the bin they're in, where you'll be able to relink.

Logic 7 Autoload in Logic 8??

Is there anyway I can transfer my Logic 7 autoload into Logic 8?>
I have just installed Logic 8 on my machine and still have logic 7 residing on there also. I also have my autoload template (new key commands etc) on my desktop.
Can I open this within Logic 8 as it has just opened a standard arrange page and all the key commands feel very odd!
Surely I dont have to redo my whole autoload again??

1. Key commands are global in both L7 and L8 and not tied to an Autoload.
2. Using L7 songs, including an Autoload can be a bumpy ride.
If you must however, I recommend:
1. Open the Autoload in L7.
2. Go into the Environment and delete all your audio channels, auxes, busses. outputs etc.
3. Delete the Undo history.
4. Save it under another name.
5. Quit L7, open L8, and then load the renamed Autoload.
6. Re-populate your audio tracks, auxes, busses, outputs, etc.
7. Save it as a Template project.
I know that is a fair amount of work but in my experience it is the safe way to go.
