Logic Express Project Manager

Hi guys,
I have just been using a copy of express and noticed there doesn't seem to be a project manager option?
When using the exs24 it seems like the paths are not set so it has to search for ages and ages to find them, could someone tell me where I need to go to set these as in pro I done this from the project manager.
Thanks

I know I'll get shot down for this,but I noticed you are posting a bunch of stuff,that,well,you can get from the MANUAL.
So,without further ado,here's my advice:
Please,RTFM...thanks.

How to open a Logic express project in Logic Pro7

Hello All,
I am not sure if this is possible or not. I am working in Logic Express 8 and my buddy has Logic Pro 7. We would like to be able to take what I'm recording and bring the project into Logic Pro7 but I can't seem to be able to do so. Any suggestions? I've tried just coping a whole project folder onto a thumb drive and opening it on his system but it doesn't seem to like my project file.
Thank you

Can I open a Logic Express project in Garageband?

Hi everyone,
my songwriting partner just moved to Hawaii. He has Garageband and I'm thinking of upgrading to Logic Express 8. If I create a LE8 project and send it to him, will he be able to open it in Garageband? Will he be able to see all the individual tracks, or will it be combined as just one track.
I know the two applications are compatible going from GB to LE8. But I can't find any information on whether they are compatible in the other direction too.
Don't want to spend $200 on something that only I can use.
Thanks for any advice.

Amazon has it even cheaper:

If you don't both upgrade, I would suggest doing all of your tracking in GB & then Master in Logic. I have both & often work this way. The biggest limitation of GB, IMHO, is the lack of mult-outs for drums.

Can I open Logic 9 projects in earlier versions of Logic?

I will be using a Logic Express project between two Macs. One Mac will have Logic 9, and one with Logic 8. Will the same project be able work between the two versions without any hassle?
Thanks!

In the past Logic has not allowed older versions to open newer versions.
It has only allowed (crappily at that) for us to open old Logic songs using newer Logic versions.
I still have my Logic 4.8.1 for PC in storage, just in case I need it.
Apparently Logic 8 does not open REALLY old Logic files. So much for "backwards compatibility"
The competition, PT, allows for version 7 software to open version 8 session files.
So it can be done. Just not with Logic...

Compare Oracle Project Management and Primavera

Hi All,
We are using Primavera today and it is not integrated to Oracle.
We are also currently implementing Oracle Projects Management (R12.1.3) and trying to evaluate if Primavera can be replaced by Projects Management. Based upon my little experience with Primavera - I see some advantages of Primavera over Projects Management e.g.
a. Primavera is more user friendly than Oracle Projects Management.
Primavera: easy to create workplan; configurable views; generate reports with gantt charts
b. Primavera has scheduling engine to derive schedules based upon dates/duration/logic while Project Managment does not have it.
c. Gantt charts are better in Primavera than Oracle Projects Management.
Has anyone also done similar kind of analysis and evaluated the need of Primavera integration with Oracle Projects Management? I would appreciate if you can share your inputs.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi,
I have used both the product. For project management i would suggest to use primavera for the same reason u mentioned.
the only disadvanage in primavera is it is not integrated with ERP.
Now oracle provide a AIA PIP integration package to integrate Primavera with oracle Projects(Limited integration). Use primaver for Project managment and oracle for Project Costing and Billing

Will Logic Express export all tracks in mono?

Will be mixing a Logic Express project in ProTools, but can't seem to find a way to export all tracks mono.
At first I thought I must be overlooking something obvious, but am beginning to think it's not possible.

I should add that if you do, in fact, actually want to export mono files you need to:
1) solo the track you want to export
2) change the output in the channel strip to mono
3) click on the bounce button on the output strip
4) repeat for each track

Delete a Logic Express user created template?

Can anyone tell me how to delete a template that I created?
Thanks

Your templates are in
~/Library/Application Support/Logic (Express)/Project Templates/
The stock templates are in the same path but in your main system Library, not your user Library.

Opening GarageBand project in Logic Express 9.

Just loaded Logic Express 9. Trying to open GarageBand project I get "Sorry, can't load this project because it is created by a newer Logic Express version. Please update Logic Express." I was under the impression that any GB project could be opened in LE9. Any suggestions?

You don't specify but have you updated LE to v.9.1.7?
Sometimes Logic can be a little picky as to how you open the song file, so if one method doesn't work, try another. For example:
1) Drag the GB file onto the LE icon.
2) Right-click on the GB file and choose "open with Logic Express."
3) Select the GB file from Logic's Browser tab in the Media window on the right.
I'm assuming that you already tried File>Open from the LE menu bar.
Once you do manage to open your GB file inside LE you will be required to save it as a Logic file.

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?

Can I open emagic logic projects in Logic Express 7.2?

Hi
I am recording a band in a few weeks, who have already laid down their (live) drum tracks in a proper studio that uses Emagic Logic. I don't know which version, but he runs it on a G4.
I use GarageBand at the moment, but am about to move up to Logic Express 7.2. Will I be able to import the Emagic Logic projects into Logic Express 7.2?
Cheers

Cheers - it's good news that they're compatible.
I'll have plenty of time to practice with Logic beforehand. Sure it'll be a challenge, but I'm not going to let that put me off.

Opening Garageband Project In Logic Express

I have successfully opened / saved a garageband project in Logic Express and everything seems to have come over fine. In the arrange window, the 'Input' button is highlighted on many tracks (the button next to mute, solo, etc.). Should the 'Input' be selected or de-slected? It seems like its automatically sending it to a Bus. Any suggestions / basic ground rules?

Well, the Input monitoring button activated live input monitoring. So, if it is activated (and you have selected input monitoring in the preferences, of course), Logic will pick up any audio signal coming in via the selected inputs and feeds it into the channelstrip, even if it's not running. You can also play along without recording. Recording, however, activates monitoring either way.
Maybe you have an open mic, which might produce feedback or other disturbing noises. Turn off input monitoring (and disarm record, of course) to mute the live input monitoring.
Basically, only the channels you need to hear should have Input monitoring activated.

Help! Logic Express 9 won't save projects to external Firewire Drive...

In our studio, we use Logic express 9 as an editor. I used 5 copies on 5 different Macs without problem. I installed a new copy on a Mac Book pro 17 but when I open a project and "Save As" my firewire 800 drive doesn't list as an option to save it. The disk works perfectly, it's formated Mac OS extended, I records externally with the other studio macs. It shows on my desktop and I can play files fine, it just doesn't show as an option in the Logic Express 9 "Save As" menu on this particular mac. I've searched the forums, but can't find this exact problem. Anyone know how to make it show as an option in the "Save As" menu?

Logic Express takes 4-6 hours to load a Garageband project!??!!

When I open projects I have made with Garage Band in Logic Express, it takes 4-6 hours to load the song. Thats obviously not the way it is supposed to be.
On another machine I have Logic Pro. There opening a Garageband project is fast -30 sec or so.
Maybe I am crying for help? Or maybe there is something wrong with the software?
I have all my Garageband instruments on the startup volume, while I have most of my loops on another volume. That works just fine with Garageband. It also works fine with Logic Pro under 10.3.9.
The Garageband loops are on an external USB disk, and this hard disk is spinning constantly during those hours. Logic Express puts up messages like "Loading Audio Files for "Cellos.exs"" during this time. Incidentally Logic Express is not responding during this time, The above dialog say one can press command period to cancel the operation, but that does not work. All that is working is killing the application process.
The above behaviour occurs wether I have any loops in the project or not.
Is there a solution to this? Having all loops on the startup volume is not possible.

Thank you very much 'Windham Hillbilly'.
Yes, saving the song as an archive from GarageBand gives fast loading in Logic Express, fully comparable to my Logic Pro loading of non archive songs.
So, this takes care of the issue for me.
Now, if there really should be a 4-6 hour load time in the first place is a different matter.

Loading project files from Logic Audio 3.5 to Logic Express 8

I have been using an old Mac and a very old version of Logic (Logic Audio 3.5) for years now. I recently upgraded to a MacBook and to Logic Express 8. The user manual tells me that Logic Express 8 will load project files back to version 5. I have a number of recording projects semi-complete, in progress, or on hold and having to import individual audio files for each will be a major undertaking. Any suggestions on how I can import projects into my new set-up quickly and easily? I was diligent about keeping all files in separate folders on my old Mac - so all related files for a given project should be found in the same folder.

Yes. Logic 7 can import Songs in version 4 format. If you have Songs in that format, it only takes a few seconds to open & re-save each Song, & when you do they will be in version 5 format, which Logic 8 can read.
However, if your Songs pre-date version 4, your task will be much harder… you will have to find someone somewhere running a version of Logic that can read these, which at a guess would mean someone running System 9.2.2 or earlier!
As for speeding up your workflow… the conversion is quick, but updating old Songs to a contemporary setup will take as long as you're willing to spend on it!
(To be clear: when you convert, nothing changes except the Song version. All your assets — Audio files etc. — will still be looked-for in the same places.)

pancenter-
I've tried that but it still crashes on loading. It seems that once the bug is in there one can't get rid of it...
I'm getting a few odd messages when trying to open the file in v9.02 OS 10.5.7 on PPC.
One is "Set Cycle Pre Processing to 1/96" or "Disable MIDI Clock" or "Leave".
The other ones are search for missing audio files... four to be exact.
Two of them are labeled:
DAE 6#01.wav
DAE 7#01.wav
Are these part of your project?
Why are the labeled DAE?
