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!!!

Playing Logic Express 7.2 Songs in Logic Pro 6.4.1

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to import Logic Express 7.2 songs(running on a intel macbook) into Logic Pro 6.4.1(running on OS9)? It doesn't seem to work.
I cannot find any topic on this?
Perhaps this is just impossible?!
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks Emily

Hi,
Logic is not forwards-compatible with future versions. Until Apple perfects time travel, of course.
Our current Logic 8 will not open Logic 10 files.
Likewise the Logic 6 cannot open the Logic 7 files.
Cheers

Open Logic Express 7.2 songs in Pro 8.2..?

I have just upgraded and thought that this would be possible, but the Express Projects are greyed out in the Import menu.
Anyone else tried this..?

I occasionally have an issue importing Logic Express 7.2 files into LP8.02, though usually they import just fine. I think it has something to do with Logic Express's bundled instruments as they throw up occasional errors when importing.
I've never had it greyed out though, so can't help there, other than suggesting removing the prefrence files

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!

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).

I have Logic Express 7. Can I import Pro Tools sessions into that?

I'm trying to export my PT sessions into Logic Express 7. Can I do this?

The easiest, guarantedd-to-work way, is to export all your track from PT sessions as AUDIO.
Have them ALL consolidated at the same exact start point, and then import them inot Logic. Line them up to th same start point, and PRESTO! You're there.
Logic LE does NOT support any of the OMF and other formats of mutli-track import-export stuff, only Logic PRO.
Cheers
PS I always do it the way I described for you, with no issues, no "my OMF file is corrupted"

Using Logic Express 8 to open .aif or iso song files from Logic Pro

I can open the song but only the lead vocal track has volume. I get a message that some of the files are "5 bit" and can't work with Logic Express 8. Is there a problem converting these files from Logic Pro to Logic Express 8 or do I have another problem

assuming no one else responds with a more complete answer, can you be a bit more specific of exactly what the message says in full.
Does it give you any indication which files?
Logic Pro does have more plug-ins and features that will not be backward compatible, especially if it some plug in that is required that comes with LP but not LE.
I haven't been able to find any reference about 5-bit - hence the need perhaps for a more complete message output.

HT4229 Does Logic Pro or logic express allow me to plug in a Halion VST player or to import and play VST wave files on any other player plugin?

Hi
Can I plug Halion 2 into Logic Pro or Logic Express? Or another VST player?
I cant find out how....

Logic unfortunately does not support any VST's by themselves. Rather they support AU's (Audio Units). So you cannot plug Halion 2 into Logic easily.
However, I have heard that you can install an AU called Plogue Bidule that allows you to run VST's. It acts as a sort of middle man so that you open the AU that opens the VST. I don't know too much about it, but it appears that they have some content on their website to look at if you are interested.
Hope this information helps!

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!" ???

Garageband 4.1.2 not importing pojects to logic express 7.2

hello
i used to be able to import GB projects into logic express but now all I get is a message saying that I need to update logic express I presume the latest GB version doesn't support LE 7.2
Is there any fix for this?
thankyou

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.

Using Logic Express 8 with Logic Pro 7

I have Logic Pro 7 academic version,but I would like to try Logic 8, so I was going to give express a shot. Will Logic Express 8 use my software instruments and plug-ins from Logic Pro 7?

You know what? I can't help but to even be ashamed to be in any of the forums here in LE8. I got mine on Tuesday and, within minutes of the installation, I had "everything" set up and ready to go for the recordings that I do. Not one bump. It has been nothing but a virtual love fest with me and LE8! With all of the complaining and problems that people are having, I feel that I am definitely in a neighborhood where I am not welcome.
Here's what I did. I looked at the options for creating a new song that we get when we want to create a new file (you have seen the prepared workspaces that LE8 gives you to choose from) and, because I only use "live" instruments (guitar, banjo, mandoline, 12 string guitar, classic guitar, and a fiddle--as well as my voice(), I just chose the selection for 8 live instruments. Now, I have read the forums for abou a year and the major complaint of the newbies is that they can't seem to get music "out" of LE and that it is almost impossible to "wrap their heads around" it. Well, Apple has answered the users with these automatic workspaces with the soundflow already set up. There is no installation of all those preferences and the personal existing hardware. No fidgeting there.
So, as I sit here in pig heaven and grunt in imported mud with others of my own ilk, I am truly happy and hav not a single complaint.
May the seas always move in your favor and be calm as the glass of a mirror.

Should I get Logic Express if I have Soundtrack Pro?

Hi,
I am new to Soundtrack Pro and was wondering if I should get Logic Express. I am looking for even more music and sound effects for video productions.
Does Logic Express offer more music and sound effects then Soundtrack Pro?
What is the major differences between Logic Express and Soundtrack Pro?
Thanks.
Andy

I think LE8 might be very useful tool indeed, if you are looking for more sound effects and creating your own music.
Both applications allow audio mixing, but with LE you can also use Software Instruments to create unique sounds or to compose entire songs. Plus, LE is more convenient for audio production, just like SP is more convenient for creating and editing soundtracks for movies/video.
Not sure about the effects plugins, but LE might have a wider collection of them.
I think it definitely won't be a waste of money to purchase LE, because it will extend your sound production capabilities.

Open sessions in Logic Pro by (default) instead of logic express

Hello , I just upgraded from logic express 7.2 to logic Pro 7.2 and my sessions are still opening in logic express as the default app. Is there any way to have them open in logic pro automatically?

thanx alot , that did it .Im glad I joined and
posted because I was about to delete the Logic
express app . but thanx again for the reply and
hospitality .
CB, Hi, I am thinking of doing the same upgrade as yourself. Now that you have the answer to your problem, is the 'transfer' of songs from Express to Pro 'seamless'. I.e. I take it that there are no problems transferring work done in Express to Pro? Like yourself, I am a relative newcomer to this forum etc
