Importing audio tracks issue (Logic Pro 8.0.2 - Snow Leopard 10.6.0)

This is a strange one that i've only just noticed since installing Snow Leopard:
In Logic when looking for audio tracks via the media browser, I select a file and drag and drop it into a project. The file plays back in the project as expected, but...
A copy of the file is then placed in the location where i've just dragged the file from???
For example:
I navigate to a track within an album in my iTunes folder (stored on an external drive) and drag the track into an open Logic project. Once imported there is a duplicate of the imported file placed within the album folder. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the behaviour before upgrading.
There are a few weird things happening with this:
If I import a .mp3 file, a .aif file is placed within the album.
If I import a .m4a file, a .ovw file is placed within the album.
Sometimes it shows the copy of the track in the browser and sometimes it doesn't. If I navigate to the album location in finder there is a copy of the file located within the album folder.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Cheers Bee Bee, school boy error on my behalf!
I was chopping up a few tracks to put on the mrs phone as ringtones and hadn't actually saved the session which would explain why a copy would have been put in the original location seen as there was nowhere else for it to go.

  • How do I normalise an audio track in Logic Pro

    I would like to know how to normalise an audio track in Logic Pro X in order to increase the volume level to limit of say 0dB.

    When you bounce your song out there is a normalise box you can tick.
    No one really does it though as it has way more detrimental affects than it has positives. You can also do it through the sample edit window, if, for some reason, you wanted to normalise a single track in your multi track recording.
    oh, ps, make sure you have all the advanced features ticked in Logic X preferences.

  • I have Logic Pro 8 on my Snow leopard macbook.Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    It's not a bug. Although Logic 8 will run under 10.7.x and 10.8.x the installer contains PPC code which simply does not run in 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9. The app is fine, the installer is the issue.
    Some research on this issue has led me to the conclusion that the commonly held conception that the installer has PPC code is flatly incorrect.
    That misconception is due to the fact that the PowerPC dialog box is triggered by any attempt to launch the installer app.
    The "bug" I reference triggers this dialog box; not PPC code within the Logic Pro 8 app. 
    At the end of the day, the result is the same: the installer app will NOT work in Mt. Lion without modification.  I have been given a tip on how to make a modification that will allow an analogous program's installer app work in Mt. Lion, but since I do not have access to a copy of Logic Pro 8, I cannot test this theory.
    So, yes, the best approach is to be sure it is fully installed before the upgrade!

  • Could not load Module... A known bug in Logic Pro 7.3 with Snow Leopard?

    I know this issue has been discussed before, but on my brand new MacBook Pro it's still an issue, so can someone please help me out with this?
    Here goes:
    Loading Logic 7.2.3 in Snow Leopard:
    The previously selected audio interface is not available
    The built-in audio inputs and outputs of the computer will be used instead for this session.

    Logic loads, and everything seems to work just fine.
    <selecting a plugin ---> Bass Amp>
    CoreAudio:
    Resource not found. (-10109)
    This happens no matter which plugin I choose - Bass Amp, EXS 24, ES1 etc…
    <Continue>
    The plugin loads, and works, but the display is in "Controls" Mode. Trying to switch to "Editor" Mode resulsts in the same error as above.
    Is there anyone out there who knows why this happens?
    Thanks

    Given that so many things are funky, I'd suspect that one or both of the following is occurring:
    1) Your Logic Pro application/installation is corrupt. Logic is failing loading control surface modules which should be in the application bundle. Reinstall.
    2) You have an incompatibility between Logic and the necessary system frameworks because Logic is too old/your system/OS is too new. You can't expect to hold back on an old version of an application and press forward with the OS (or vice versa) forever - eventually, something will break, and you'll have a large leap to get things working again.
    It's probably better to stay on the update train unless there is a specific reason to get off, or at least, freeze your computer/OS version at the same tim as you freeze your application.

  • I imported M2T into CS4 Premier Pro on Mac OSX Snow Leopard does not play

    I imported several M2T files into CS4 Premier Pro on Mac OSX Snow Leopard, the files import just fine and when I double click on them, I see the video in the preview panel. However when I hit play, nothing happens. It does not play, just sits on the first frame. Even when I drop it into the timeline, same thing happens. Does not play but if I export what I put into the timeline, the video exported is fine. So I can't edit it, because I cant see where to put edit points. I really need help, need to get this project done asap.

    I have fixed this problem myself by searching the forum with argument "playback" "playback_issue". This a known problem. Go to link for a solution http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/playback-stops-loops-soundbooth-premiere.html
    Thanks to myself.

  • Can't import audio files into Logic Pro

    I have some original compositions previously recorded on a Windows PC that I want to work on in Logic Pro. However, despite converting them to .raw, mp3, apple tiff and having the original file as. Wav, Logic Pro doesn’t recognise them; they’re all greyed out when I try to import or open, even though they play ok in I-tunes? How can I resolve this?

    .raw is not recognized by Apple. What format is this? Is this an audio file format?
    .mp3... well, if you like that kind of degraded sound...
    .tiff is an IMAGE file format. Whatever made you think this would work?
    I think you have renamed the file extensions one too many times...and the Apple machine is confused. Try starting over.
    Also, try to look at the info pane for each file, and make SURE it is seen as a .wav file AND that the file is set to read / write, not locked.
    Cheers

  • No record button on audio track in logic pro x

    Hi
    Does anyone know how to get the record button onto the audio track, see above?
    Many thanks

    Have you setup your audio interface in preferences? That would be the only thing I can think of as to why your're not seeing a record button.

  • How do I burn a recorded track, on logic pro?

    How do I burn a recorded track, on logic pro?

    Bad?
    I am far from an expert at Logic, but I found making a .wav file or .MP3 file fairly easy.
    Using the edit menj, I select all the tracts in my arrnage window.  Having done that I bounce the selected tract to my audio hard drive, having named it.
    I can then import that audio file and others into Itunes and then burn a list of compositions onto a CD.
    There must be several variations on that process but that one works well for me.

  • I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, the cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler.  I get the message "nothing to display"

    I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler.  I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected"  After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug.  Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work.  We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler.  Thanks in advance for your ideas!  Cheers.

    Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track.  I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project.  Thanks again.

  • How do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please

    how do i use parallel compression for 4 drum tracks in Logic pro 7.2.3 Please. my version is 7.2.3 and my son did his drums on 4 tracks. 2 OH's 1 Kick and 1 Snare. Were confused because we cant figure out how to do parallel compression on the older logic version 7.2.3?

    I can't remember when the Aux tracks became the new buss tracks, so I'll spell this out using busses.
    The way I do it, is I assign all my drum tracks to a buss, say buss 1.
    Then, on buss 2, I assign it's INPUT to buss 1.
    So buss 1 (all the drums) are feeding into buss 2 simultaneously.
    Put a compressor on buss 2, turn the fader down all the way, then as the track is playing, bring buss 2's fader up slowly, until you hear the effect you're after.
    You could also do this using sends on the 4 drum tracks, set to feed the buss with the compressor on it.
    I hope I haven't forgotten anything particular to that version of Logic. See if this helps...

  • Is there a way to show/reveal the piano roll (or score) from a midi input when recording an audio track in Logic 9?

    I'm trying to record audio tracks in Logic 9 over midi tracks I've created using a software instrument.  I've done this before, and there used to be a no problem in seeing the midi information in the piano roll or the score while recording audio tracks, but it now impossible to reveal.  Has ayone else exerienced this?  Was there a change (update) that eliminated that as an option?  Or did I do something in preferences somewhere (unbeknownst to me when doing it) that has caused this?  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Just open the piano roll fro the regions you want and deselect the chain icon at the upper left.

  • How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

    How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?

    After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
    What am I doing wrong?
    How exactly are you doing this?
    When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file.  Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
    You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

  • Entering tablature for audio track in Logic Express 9

    Hi,
    When recording an audio track in Logic Express 9, I'd like to manually enter tablature for the recorded piece. After reading the manual and some tweaking, I still have a couple of questions about this:
    1. It seems one can only enter tablature for midi tracks, so I end up adding a fake midi track, muting it, then entering tablature on that midi track. Is there an easier approach?
    2. Is there a way to enter whole chords at once in the tab track instead of first having to enter each note of a chord separately, then copy/pasting that chord to all places I need it? (I know one can add chord symbols, but these are just text symbols that do not have rhythm notation.)
    3. It seems that the tablature editor in Logic Express supports only a limited number of fingerings, i.e., one cannot add a note on the 6th fret of the 6th string, as this is automatically turned into the 1st fret on the 5th string. Can this be changed?
    Any help appreciated!

    Hi,
    To answer your questions,
    1. I'm sorry, but there is no easier way. Since the "audio to score" function (where you let Logic interpret the notes in the audio and makes midi out of it) hasn't fully matured yet, I don't think there's an easier approach.
    2. In the environment you can add a chord memorizer. With this function you can Logic tell to put in a (for instance) C-chord when you hit just the C-note on your midi keyboard. Since I used this function just once and I'm not anywhere close to a Mac with Logic I can't tell exactly how this works right now.
    3. You can change the position of a note on the tablature by changing the note's MIDI channel (in the inspector).
