Launching a Logic session in Garage Band

Is it possible to open a Logic 6.4.3 session in Garage Band 3? I'm using a MacPro Intel. I get an error saying the drive is damaged when I try to launch the session. Thanks for any advise. DW

GB will not open any logic version file (later versions of logic can open GB files)

Can I load adobe audition 3.0 sessions to garage band?

I don't believe you can in its native format. However, you can certainly add a stereo mix or individual audio tracks from an an Audition session into GB (just as you would add any *standard* audio file to GB).

Logic Pro 10, Garage Band.

Hey guys.
I just did a fresh OSX install on my Macbook.
I have not added the additional content (ie, Garage Band, etc.)
I have yet to re-download logic pro X.
Do I have to have Garage Band installed to use Logic Pro X?
Trying to keep my hard drive clean as possible.
I want to use this machine for multi tracking, nothing else.
Thanks.

Logic Pro (and Garage Band) guitar bug.

This is a rather irritating bug that happens constantly on my set up. I can play guitar for a couple of minutes then the sound cuts out but then plays after about a three second delay. This happens in both Logic Pro 9 and Garage band but not in Ableton Live or other apps.
At first I thought it was an interface problem (UA-101) till everything worked without a hitch in Ableton Live. The interface lights also show no delay. I've got a new MacBook pro with Leopard on it with latest versions of Logic and Garage band.
Anyone else seen this before or know of others that have had this problem. Any suggestions of what I could do to fix it?

Well I dont get this but I use Apogee Duet, so there could be the difference. Process buffer range could make some difference, set it to low in Preferences/Audio. The other obvious thing is to check the buffer size in preferences is set as low as possible.

How can I use the three new Logic drummers in Garage Band?

I have the latest version of GarageBand and the latest version of MainStage, but I have not upgraded to the latest version of Logic. However, the three new drummers available with the latest update to Logic are now visible in Drummer for GarageBand. When I click on one, GarageBand asks me to download (yet again) 5 GB of content. This download has never allowed me to use the new drummers. I have restarted in Safe Boot mode and tried the installation that way, but I get the same result.
Thanks.

Which version of GarageBand are you asking about?
GarageBand '11 requires an internal optical drive, and the newest GarageBand 10.0 as well.
Insert a recordable CD in your computer’s optical drive.Before burning, be sure your computer supports the recordable CD you are using. Only computers with disc-burning capability can be used to burn a song to a CD.
Choose Share > “Burn Song to CD.”
Added: It does not help, to share the song to iTunes and burn a playlist from iTunes, since iTunes requires an internal optical drive as well.

Can a Macbook Pro create/join a 'Jam Session' in Garage Band?

Stuttering Strings when I import to Logic X from Garage Band

Help, I can't get my IOS Garageband arrangements to playback smoothly in LogicX (or Garageband for OSX for that matter). The problem occurs on any song I create with the strings smart instrument on either the iPad or iPhone. The other instruments all work fine. But the strings are all stuttery and intermittent, especially when I use the legato gesture (finger sliding up and down). FYI I can import the songs into Logic 9 with no problem.
I have tried to update Logic X and Garageband with all the latest downloadable content, but nothing has fixed the problem. I am up to date on released updates.
Any ideas?

Sharing with iTunes is OK, but it is likely to produce a file in MP3 or AAC, which can cause problems. You can create an AIFF version of an MP3 file in iTunes and use that.
To create an AIFF version, go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General Tab. Click the Import Settings button. Choose Import Using: AIFF Encoder. Then choose your track, and click FILE/CREATE AIFF Version. Use this in FCPX. Be sure to go back into iTunes Preferences and set the import options back to where you had it, so the next time you rip an CD it does not make an AIFF.

Sample Rate Problems going from Logic to Garage Band

I've downloaded the Trial Version of Logic Express. When it launched it changes the i/o sample Rate that is required by Garage Band (I'm using a digi002 i/o). The result is that garage band plays back at a fraction of it normal rate (sounds like crap).
It wasn't a problem until the trial ran out on Logic Express. I could change the sample rate back inside Logic. Hummm ... what to do? I don't see any place to change the rate in the garage band preferences or in the core audio interface. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I've never had any such problem with Logic Express. GB files just load up, and work fine. Did you change anything in Logic Express? There are setting for that there, but even songs I open after I changed LE to 24 bit, work fine.
Wait, are you saying LE is changing the sample rate, and then it stays that way when you open GB? Hmmm, What do you have LE set for? I think mine is set at 24/96, but I'd have to look to be sure. But I am not using the same interface as you are. It might be something you just have to live with. Have you tried posting this in the LE7 forum? Maybe one the gurus there knows what you can do.
Oh, and I am using GB 2, not GB 1, but I am not sure that is relevant.

How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.6
Your signature lists both, Mac and iOS device - are you asking about GarageBand on your Mac or your iPhone/iPad?
If you are asking about the upgrade from GarageBand '11 to GarageBand 10.0 on your Mac, the old GarageBand version should still be installed. The installer will have moved GarageBand '11 to a separate folder "GarageBand 6.0.5" in your Applications folder. Open this folder and click "GarageBand". Does this version still see your old projects? If not, type ".band" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. Does that sfind your missing projects?
If you are asking about GarageBand on iPad/iPhone, there it is not possible to restore the previous version after you upgraded. And I do not see, how this upgrade could have deleted your projects. Have they completely vanished, or can you not open them any longer? If your projects have vanished, restore your device from your backup: See: iCloud: Backup and restore overview

How to use Session I/0 interface of RIG 3 in garage band

hi I have te ssesioni/0 interface and I want to use it in garage band, but when I
look in system preferences at the input output section and when I select "sessioni/0 it tells me that the interface doesn´t have input controlers !
And when i try to use it in garage band it doesn't work
please help!

when I have to choose input and output, I choose the sessionI/O option, I´m using a real instrument, an electric guitar gibson sg standard.
I´m not sure about your other two questions, where can I check them to know
if i select the correct option?
but as I said first, I think that the problem is that in system preferences at the input output section it tells me that the interface (Session I/O) doesn´t have input controlers.

Opening Garage Band files in Logic Express

I'm a school music teacher and have just started using Logic Express 7 to open kids' Garage Band files for tidying up and polishing.(Still a beginner with logic I'm afraid!) Have just purchased Logic Express 8 update, but haven't installed it because I heard that it won't open Garage Band 3 files. Is this true? If so, is it possible to have both 7 and 8 running independently on the computer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The original release of LE8 had a bug which required a workaround to open GB files. The subsequent 8.0.1 update fixed that. After you install LE8, go to Software Update and install the 8.0.1 update and you will be fine.

Can i install Garage Band Loods into Logic Pro X?

I just started using Logic Pro X. Based on the version of Garage Band on my iPhone I expected to find many more rock-oriented loops, drum kits and beats. Is this stuff only on iPhones? For example "60's Shuffle", "Bar Band Basic Drumset", "Brush Train Drumset", "Crowd Groove Drumset", "Funked Out Drumset", all this stuff and many many more loops should be in Logic Pro X Loops right?

I'm not sure how I did that, since I started with Logic 8, so my loops could be from 8, 9 or X, though I believe they do not really differ much between the versions. I believe Logic just takes the name of the folder(s) to get those dropdown names, but I'm not sure about that either. I'm also not sure if the GB loops are/were also installed if you never had GB installed, though that could well be.
So, all in all I'm pretty unsure, it seems.

Logic 9 garage band and audio content CDs

I have Logic 8 already, was wondering if the three garage band CDs and the other Audio content CDs are extra files that Logic 8 doesn't have?

Kudos to figuring it out yourself.
Yes, Logic is geared to the professional user, you will need to set up the program to your particular way of working, Logic was well developed for professional use long before Apple purchased it, it's not an Apple program per se. It's complex and offers a myriad number of choices so that it can be configured to many styles of working, there's often 3 or 4 ways to perform the same function.
Logic insists the user educate themselves... which is a good thing.
Here ya go!

"Exploring Logic Pro" is a good one to start with.
