Importing Logic Pro files?

My friend emailed me a Logic Pro file and when I try to open it up I see this message, " Instrument "Port 1" sends to a MIDI port named "FireWire Audiophile" of MIDI interface "FireWire Audiophile" which no longer exists. Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument's port setting." What am I to do next?

.....Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument's port setting ,.... as it says.
meaning that you have to select the port where you have your midi interface connected.
in case you are using the same inteface make sure the power is on.

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!!!

How can I move ALL Logic Pro Files (except for the app itself) to an external?

Hi,
So I'm looking to move all my Logic content to my external hard drive and still be able to use the program effectively and efficiently.
I have about 5 years worth of content (adding up to over 100 GB of data in audio/instrument/project files) and I think it's time to find an alternative to suffocating my internal hard drive.
I'm looking for the easiest way to move all my content to my external and delete it from my internal (without altering the location of the app itself).
I understand "managing project assets", but this method requires me to open EVERY project one by one and change the location settings. I'm basically trying to find a way to move every project and its appropriate audio files to my external so that I can open them from there without having to go through each project one by one... I tried just copying and pasting the entire "Logic" folder onto the external and then deleted it from my internal, but when I attempted to open a project from my external's copied file, none of the content was found because the original locations of the internal were still embedded in the project. Also, none of the software instruments could be found because they, too, were originally located on the internal drive. Luckily I backed up my hard drive beforehand, so a simple restore brought me back to sanity.
I understand managing the project assets, but is going one project by one project at a time really the only way? There's gotta be another way :/
Thanks for any and all help.
P.S. I'm still on the Logic Pro 9 train, but that shouldn't matter too much. (hopefully)
Specs:
Mac Book Pro 13"
OS X Version 10.9.5
4 GB RAM (lame)
2.66 GHz Intel Core
54.2 GB Free hard drive space (super lame)
App: Logic Pro 9

Hello lramospsych,
To move your iTunes media library to a different location, take a look at the article below to walk you through that process. Make sure that you have everything organized before you move everything over.

Opening a Logic Pro file in Logic Express

Hi my Nephew is thinking of buying Logic Express (He can't afford Logic Pro) so we can collaborate together on some toonz. Now if I send him a song I have created in Logic Pro will it be OK for him to open in Logic Express to work on that song?
What will have happened to all the parts that I have created on the instruments in Logic Pro which are not available in Logic Express? would it just be MIDI notes/ data? and vice versa.
Many Thanks

Hi there...
When i'm in the studio I work with LP7, but on the road (and its more often then not) I use LE7. This 12" powerbook 1.5gz w/ 1.25mb 80hd has the FULL LP7 install and the FULL LE7 install, as well as lots of Garageband loops, and most free, AUs.
In Express (with a LP7 install, on the same machine) the ONE thing that is poor, is opening a LP7 project that leverages PLUGS for LP7. But that's ok as Sculpture and all those other goodies are too cpu hungry for a single G4 (IMHO).
So you will not get those working, BUT, with a real LP7 install the EXSp24 can OPEN the instruments from the much much larger library of material inside LE7. It's kind of like Logic Express-PRO...sounds strange i know.
Oh, and don't forget that LE7 need to really be the 7.1.1 version as that one adds the HybredMorph inst from GB. Keep your bus counts down and no auxs in the LP7 sessions if you KNOW a LE7 users will pop them open
YMMV... but Good luck.

Logic express & pro file diffrences

im sure that its possible to open LE files into LP but is it also possible backwards? (open logic pro files in logic express)?

Yes, it should be possible.
But be warned that Logic might not find all the plugins needed, so you'll have to replace them with substitutes of lower quality. Example Space Designer -> Platinum Verb. Or EVB3 -> EVB.

Can logic pro 8 projects be read on logic express 8?

I've posted this on the logic pro forum but thought should post it here too:
So a few weeks ago I went to teach a short one day course in Logic Express 8.... except I've only used Logic Pro 8.....mmmm
Anyway, with all my projects carefully prepared (without space designers or any non- Express 8 plug-ins) I copied my workshop projects onto the students computers only to find that the .logic file was missing. Eek! The iMacs we were using had Logic express 8 (not pro) on them but for some reason the .logic file was now replaced by a folder - which we figured out was actually the opened package of the logic pro file:
The folder was always called Lgdoc containing two files: display state & document data
I've managed to replicate this behaviour on my powerbook which has not got logic 8 installed on it.
Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone opened a logic pro 8 project in Logic express 8 successfully?
Is there a way to re-pack a file whose contents are being shown?
Thanks
Rounik

Ok thanks, so I shouldn't have any problem I guess finish the project with logic9. Do u know by any chance if I can have both 8 and 9 running on my Mac?

Basic Logic Pro Questions. I Am New To It

Running OS 10.7.4
Hello....I am new to Logic Pro, graduating up from GB. I have few simple questions that I will ask on my next One to One, but I thought someone in Logic Pro Land can help for now. Just be patient I am trying to understand concepts
1. My One to One instructor here in NYC, down in the SoHo Store ( the best), helped me create a templete track, so I never have to listen to clicks or a metronome again ( I do VOs)....
2. I have done some recordings on that template I saved it as COMPING, as that's what I want to learn at my next one to one.... That track is my Logic Pro file in music.
3. Based on that, all I want to do now is duplicate the template track. Is there a way to do that?
My own logic tells me...well if the track is saved under COMPING, all you got to do is launch Logic Pro.... the last track will come up (COMPING)..... so just delete the contents ( since it's saved) record what you want to record, and save it under a different name...for the sake of simplicity, let's say I want to call it VO Track Number 2.....that track will appear in my folder under VO Track Number 2.....Is this correct?
4. Barring that, is there another way of just duplcating the template track without having to name it something all the time, or perhaps name different duplicate tracks, Track 2, 3, 4, etc.?
Recording questions
I recorded take one of a beer commercial. When I stoped the recording the head was right at the end where I stopped...when I went to record take 2, instead of just contuning, it back tracked a bit so the last few words on take 1 were recorded over.
1. WHY?
2. How do I prevent that from happening?
In GB, the recording just picked up where I left off, never back tracked...
Anyanswers, greatly appreciated...

Next time, make a copy of your template before you record anything, in fact, save it as a template so a pristine copy will always be available under the "Templates" menu item. Then start the first project as VO-1 then VO-2...etc. Never start a project and save it the same name as your template.
Now you have to go in and remove the files from the arrange and Audio Bin or else they will stay associated with the project.
As for the recording, the last few words were not recorded over, they were just covered up.
The back tracking is due to the one bar count-in or you have some "preroll" set. Does it backtrack 1 bar?
I think the adjustment is under "Settings/Recording".
I'll let others jump in and fill in the holes.

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

Can't import FCPX xml file to Logic Pro

I'm using the trial of Final Cut Pro X to give it a go.
I export a test project as XML so I could try to import it into Logic Pro (latest version). Export seems to work fine. When I go to Logic to import the test.fcpxml file, it is grayed out and won't let me select it.
Not sure if this is a FC problem, or if Apple needs to release an update for Logic to be compatible with FCPX.
Any insight?
MacBook Pro, Lion 10.7, 4GB Ram, Intel Core 2 Duo, Logic Studio

This is a completely new form of XML. Very little works with it at this time.

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.

Importing AAF files into Logic Pro 7.1

Hello All:
Have got a number of song sequences that are in the AAF format, complete with associated audio .aif sound files in the same folder.
These AAF files were created on another Logic pro studio, as they had to export them from Pro Tools into AAF .
i am able to IMPORT the sequence arrange with requisite tracks set up, but when the audio files attempt to load, i am prompted by the finder to MANUALLY locate each audio file to enable it to place into the Logic arrange page correctly.
I get the "where is the file"xxxxxB4Wrww.aif" type message, and can see the actual file located in the finder window, but it won't just locate them automatically.
It takes a loooong time to search out in the list each file and then click DONE to enter it!
Then repeat for EACH file name.....jeez.
One song has 78 audio files associated with it!
A local tech guy in a MAC software dealership said this was a continuing problem he had also with AAF in Logic 7.....
Any hints, before i spend 4 mind numbing hours hand-locating
these frikkin files?
Thank you in advance!

Hi All,
I've recently been having problems importing MP3 files into the arrange window. I thought I changed a setting and can't figure out what's up? Also I haven't been able to change my sampling rate to 48K or more. Mind you, I'm in transition right now moving to a different continent and my external drive is stored away so I'm playing and importing from my OS drive.Is that the issue??
Thanks,
Francisco
Hi Francisco.
Please re-post this as a NEW question. I just went over my last few posts, and here you are, and NO ONE has answered your question in three days. That is not usually the case in this forum.
Cheers
PS please give some details, what actually happens with the mp3 files? what is the actual problem? And also, what sound card / interface are you using?

Itunes doesn´t import and play PCM 5.1 audio files bounced by Logic Pro X

Hello Evebody!
I use to make many surround mix in logic pro X, and it bounces a PCM 5.1 surround files (.wav)
How I need to organize and Play this mix the itunes should be the best software to do it, however
Itunes don´t reconize this .wav file when I try to drag on its list. The preview by space bar plays the
surround very well the QuickTime as well but Itunes do not accept this kind of file.
If someone knows how to help me with this issue please let me know. I read that itunes accept DTS 5.1 formats
but I want play only the audio file not a movie track.
Thank´s
Paulo

Fool Of God, thanks much! I will give this a try. Man, if it's not one thing it's another! I love Apple, but if they keep breaking things, they're going to help Microsoft!
**UPDATE** This work-around did work for me as well, and you're right Fool Of God, makes NO sense at all. The M4A file is 83 MB while the MP3 is only 63. So it has to be a glitch with importing MP3's of any size. Seems that 50MB is the limit. Thanks again, you saved my day!
