How to connect songs in Logic Express 8?

I have written and recorded about 5 songs, and 3 out of the five songs I would like to be "connected" to each other. That is, I mean, the songs go directly into the next by fading in and out. Is this something I can do in Logic Express, or can I do it in iTunes? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
1st: bounce the songs (maybe to an uncompressed format like AIF)
2nd: Import the three bounced songs into logic (makes 3 regions)
3rd: Apply fades as necessary

    Pancenter,
    Thanks for the response, but I do not have a midi interface. I am using a midi to usb connector cable, thus bypassing the need for a Midi interface.
    The Mac reads the USB cable as a midi device, but not the keyboard that I am trying to use as a controller. I have tried it with my korg sp 300 and with my Nord Electro 2.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Tristan...
    This is what you have, correct?
    http://www.alesis.com/usbmidicable
    This from Alesis..
    "The AudioLink Series USB cable receives and outputs MIDI signal thanks to its internal interface. The USB-MIDI Cable connects plug-and-play to your Mac or PC for an all-in-one USB-MIDI solution."
    Notice, -internal interface-. What you have is a simple USB MIDI Interface. Most MIDI interfaces are USB.
    My point is (was), MIDI OUT of the Korg goes to the connector marked MIDI IN on the Alesis, those new to MIDI often get this wrong.

  • Problem importing Garageband songs into Logic  Express

    Hi I have spent around 4 hours looking for an answer to this problem so hopefully it has'nt been answered before apolgies if it has.
    I am trying to import a Garageband Song into Logic Express (7.1) it appears to import it to Logic but when finished it reads file corrupt not a Logic File.
    I followed the tutorial opened the GB song and followed the instructions on how to import but I cant import it to Logic without the above message coming up.
    Any ideas?
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with 10.4.9 on it.Logic is version 7.1 (Is there a known bug when importing?)
    Thank you if you can help.

    Hi KB,
    Welcome to the forum!
    the answer is within your question;
    your machine needs the universal Logic express (7.2)
    and your GB's probably GB 3.
    That's the reason you can open the files.
    If you bought version 7 "new"(from the reseler)
    ask for version 7.2, as you can't buy crossgrade anymore.
    (until logic sells a new one)
    "You just bought diesel and your machine's not run on it"
    rule number 1: You should Allways look for system requirements and software versions compability!
    Cheers,

  • Can you adjust the pitch of a track in the middle of a song in Logic Express?

    Can you adjust the pitch of a track in the middle of a song in Logic Express? So have the first  40 bars in C minor and the last 16 in D major for example?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    the question is what you want to achieve by doing so. Obviously, transposing is easy. Split the track into two regions. The first region is original pitch, the second is to be transposed. Select the second region. Enter the desired transposition value in the region inspector. Make sure the checkbox "no transpose" is UNchecked in the track inspector.
    HOWEVER: You cannot "transpose" minor key into major key. This is because the intervals of full steps / half steps is different for minor and major. The 3rd and the 6th step is a half step in minor, while it is a full step in major. Therefor you must adjust the MIDI events in the piano roll editor to change minor to major and vice versa.

  • Can't open a garage band song in logic express trial

    I've been thinking about getting logic express, but I wanted to try the trail version first. When I try to open any of my garageband songs in logic it says, "Damaged Song or not a logic express song! Damaged songs might create problems and crashes!" After that box it says, "Rad Error! This is not a Logic Express song!" I would appreciate any advice on how I might fix this problem.

    I'm not using a different user account than previously, and haven't moved anything. That said, I was able to solve the problem. Here's what I did:
    1. Right-click and select GET INFO
    2. In the INFO window, open the SHARING & PERMISSIONS panel at the bottom
    3. In the lower right corner, click the LOCK to change it to UNLOCKED
    4. In the pop-up PASSWORD window, enter your MAC password. The LOCK changes to UNLOCKED.
    5. Click the PLUS SIGN lower left, choose the appropriate Person or User/Group (me) and click SELECT
    6. The name gets added to the bottom of the GET INFO window, but with “Read only” permission
    7. Click the “Read Only” selection and change to “Read & Write”
    PARTIAL SUCCESS:  The PROHIBIT badge is gone from the file, and instead of showing ZERO bytes, it now shows XXMB — for example, 32MB.
    HOWEVER, when I tried to open the file, I got the message, “Your file has no content”.
    TOTAL SUCCESS:  I discovered that I had to go back a level, click on the FOLDER that contained my prohibited songs, and follow the same instructions 1-7 above. Now, at last, I can access my files in the new GarageBand!
    Thanks to Hang Time and Leonie for responding so quickly to my plea for help!

  • HT201368 I got an error message when trying to import a Garage Band song into Logic Express 9.

    Logic Express 9.1.8 (which I have) claims to be the most recent update.

    YOu have not provided any system info, not told us what version of AE you use, your audio setting, what specifics in the audio file and a million other things. See how it may not be possible for anyone to tell you anything beyond "Your computter sucks!" ???

  • How to connect Xbox to Airport Express

    I currently have the Xbox connect to the Airport Express (ethernet).
    The cable modem is connect to the Airport Extreme in another room.
    The internet is WPA protect.
    The Airport Extreme is password protected.
    Is this a possible set up? Also, can you provide directions of how to enter all the correct setting information on the Xbox? Do I need to enter anything on the Airport?

    Looks like this thread died. I have a similar situation. Got a Time Capsule connected to a modem, and an older airport express in another room I've been using to stream music. The wireless network is WPA password protected. My son just got an Xbox 360. Just fooling around, I connected it to the airport express, but wasn't able to see the network. I have the airport express set to "join network." Do I have to set up a WDS? If so, do I have to change settings on the Time Capsule (to main base in a WDS)? I'd rather not set up a WDS, as I'd rather not mess with the Time Capsule, and I've heard that WDS cuts down on the signal strength of the wireless network. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Question of process after producing a song on logic express

    Hi, so i've recorded a track using the produce preset in logic express. Now I don't know how to get it into the mastering preset for polishing and limiting using plugins. I'm not sure how to get from point a to point b. i've entered the preset and have tried to open my project but it always opens up in the produce preset only. How does one go from to producing to mastering in logic pro and also how do you apply compression and hard limiting to voals in mastering mode.
    Thanks for your help in advance, the feed back would be useful.

    Hi,
    You will need to bounce an uncompressed stereo track of your Logic project. Then open a new logic project, from the template section choose the mastering preset and then bring in your stereo track. The Mastering suite can only be used on an audio track, not a Logic Project.

  • Importing logic pro 6 songs to logic express 7.2.1

    the question is simple: i've recorded a drumkit with logic pro 6 running on mac and i tried to import the project into my imac intel but i can only open the project, the audio files format are not AIFF or WAV.
    I'm sure there is something i'm doing wrong, what can it be??
    Thanks!!!

    Hi, now i can't remember the format of audio files. but occurs the next:
    When i open the project Logic Express 7.2.1 it doesn't find the audio files, asking me to Ignore, Search automatically or Manually, i click Manually and i open the project folder but files can not be selected, its icon is grey, like EXE files from PC opened in Mac.
    I'm sure it's not WAV or AIFF but if they were SD2 i could open them.
    The only solution i find is opening the project on Logic Pro 6 and Bounce every track separately (bassdrum song 01, cymbal song 04 etc...) as AIFF file. It will take me the whole day so...there is a solution????
    Thanks in advance!!!

  • Opening logic pro songs in logic express

    both versions running 7.2
    logic express said "file either damaged or not logic express song"
    is there a way around this, like saving in a different format or something?
    Thanks!

    I'll take a crack at it.
    I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think that LE can open LP song files. If I'm right, then the only thing to do would be to bounce each track and import them into an LE project....but why would you want to drive a VW Beetle when you have a Porsche 911?

  • Importing Garageband Songs into Logic Express

    I recently imported a song that I created in Garageband into Logic Express (I already downloaded the most recent version) and I can't hear the Audio from the song. What should I do?

    Very common question. Usually means you're not routing the audio through the "output 1-2" channel strip or the core audio settings are wrong.
    You can search here or on google and found thousands of forum threads about the same thing. You should find your answer easily. Also, read the getting started manual.
    Logic ain't GB and requires more manual controlling to organize. This is good.

  • Import my old logic songs in Logic Express

    One of the reasons I choose to buy a mac was because it gave Logic Express as an application. Until now I used to work with a special Logic version that came with an special Audio card, Maxis Isis studio. but this card can only work under Windows ME, that is no longer an option. I hoped Logic Express would easily import all my old work, so I could continue working on them.
    But import does not work, Logic Expres 9 says I should use an older version of Logic (7.xx) to make my songs suitable for Logic 9. Is there anybody who can help me with the transfer, or has an old version of Logic for me? I need only to transform some 20 songs and can abandon the old stuff.
    Thanks for helping me out

    Hey what version of Logic was it that was bunled with that sound card?
    I guess you can at least try to export audio parts of your songs as separate tracks using the old version of Logic that you have. I'd recommend exporting both dry and processed audio.
    As for midi parts, you can export them also as midi files and as audio (for reference to be used for editing in LE9).
