Logic not opening 64-bit 48khz audio files.

I recently tracked drums at a studio thatuses Cakewalk Sonar 6. The audio files are consolidated (into 16 54 minute strips) and on my hard drive now, but Logic will not open them for some reason. I have my Mac and Logic in 64-bit mode. When I try to import the files, it changes the session to a 48khz session. Anybody have this sort of problem before?

If your files are 24bit / 48khz, (as originally recorded)... all good (you can check in the "Audio Bin" window where this info is displayed). As above, Logic will automatically switch the session to match the file rate, but if it is converting your audio files unintentionally, you need to un-check "Convert audio file rate when importing" (File> Project Settings> Assets> Assets : "Convert audio file rate when importing").
If your files are still not opening, it could be a Sonar export / compression issue - maybe best to check with the studio you tracked at?

8 bit / corrupted audio files on re-opening a song

See the post below. I'm having this exact problem with the latest version of Logic Pro on my intel mac. Is there a solution for this mentioned somewhere already? Please let me know soon.

"8-bit" Corrupted Audio Files On Reload?
Posted: Aug 18, 2005 10:45 AM
A day after a recording session with my band the other night, I re-opened the song and recieved an error message "What kind of file is this?" and then another... something about the file being "8-bit" and unusable. This is the bass track from a very good session with my band and I'd like to try and recover it. Does anyone know how this happened, how to recover the file, and how to prevent it from happening in the future? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
More info: When opening the file in SoundHack, it says that it is a "Headerless" file. Setting the header to 24 bit linear and saving a copy results in an extremely distorted and unusable file, but you can kind of hear the recording in the background... sped up.

Hello and thanks to all for your replies. Oh and I did in fact copy somebody else's post. Sorry for the confusion.
I had a backup of the song on another disk with which I continued with my mixing. I am not worried about that particular song now. I am just worried that this might happen again.
About my sound/sample library, I just deleted the folders which had corrupted files and copied back from my backup disks.
Dropping corrupted file in a new .lso doesn't work. Haven't tried moving preferences yet but will do. I didn't have a mac before I bought an intel mac.
Can someone explain why this happened in the newest version when this was supposed to have been resolved in an earlier version? Isn't the latest version a cumulative one?
There's one other thing that also happened with me this week. I think it's related:
I had a Logic project open which was set at 96/24 and I had some audio done in it. I tried to open Reason rewired to Logic because I wanted a drum beat from Dr.Rex. Reason was set at 44/16. I tried to open some of the samples from my sound library. The files played just fine but later on when I checked, the folders which I went into looking for that drum beat got corrupted. In fact, it corrupted everything under root folder. It shouldn't have touched my samples at all, right? Why should this happen when I'm trying to just read samples or files?

My computer is authorized, but when I try to open a recently downloaded audio file I get asked for my "Audible username and password" and my AppleID and password do not work

My computer is authorized, but when I try to open a recently downloaded audio file I get asked for my "Audible username and password" and my AppleID and password do not work.

thats because audible isnt apple provided, its a third party app/website so you'll have to get it from them

File Not Found bug with long audio file names?

Hello -
Crazy problem. I'll probably post way too much information, but I want to make sure I cover everything. Help!
We run Logic Studio/Logic 8 on multiple 10.4.10/11 computers - G5 Power PC, new intel iMac, intel mini, G4 laptops. We are working on an audio post job using very messy OMFs that were prepared in Final Cut. We had problems opening them in Logic, so we opened the OMFs in Soundtrack Pro, exported to AAFs, and opened those in Logic.
The sessions look fine in Logic now (all files relinked), and the session is consolidated - ie, all files are local/in the project folder's Audio Files folder. I see this in the Audio Bin and can confirm in the finder.
Here's the problem. With the sessions closed:
(A) I renamed the project folder by adding an asterix to the front of the folder name, and changed the color label of the folder in the finder in order to mark it as the original folder.
(B) I made a copy of the whole folder (session files & audio files) in order to have something to work from and not mess up the original. When I opened up the session in the new folder, it immediately said audio file not found, do you want to search, locate, or skip. It couldn't find the file in a search, and obviously when you skip, then skip, then skip all, it opens the session with the data (regions are there but grayed) - so all the audio files are orphaned.
So when I try to locate the file, here's what happens. . . The audio file names are really horrendously long (must be some artifact of working in Final Cut). We're talking: "1087-001A SERG AIRPORT WAITING * 1-1channel_00044D02AA9- 363A-4CC5-A86B-0741023DB062.aif" - one bazillion characters.
So the audio file locate dialog box truncates the name of the file that's missing by using the first 20 characters or so, and then a "#" character, and then some random string of 3-6 characters that is not at all related to the file name. So who knows which of the 4-30 SERG AIRPORT files is supposed to go there!
Obviously if this were a 2 minute session file of 10 files or something, we could figure it out and relink everything, but we're talking about a feature-length session with a bazillion files.
(C) Okay, so I tried to open the original session, in the folder that I had renamed by prefacing the original name with an * and changing the color of the folder. But I started to get the file not found errors. OH GEEZ. So I didn't save. I re-renamed the folder by taking out the * and changing the color label back. Then I tried to open the session again, but I still kept getting the file not found problem.
I have to stress that I didn't move any of the audio files, or change ANYTHING in the session.
So I thought - is all of this because I tried to open a new instance of the session, in a new instance of the folder? Is it because I renamed the folders? Normally you can rename folders, even session names, no problems, and Logic corrects the paths to the audio files!
(D) So, crap. I reopened the original AAF file in logic and saved it in a new place. I closed the file, reopened it, closed, reopened, just to make sure everything was working! I checked the location of the files in the audio bin, and everything was great.
(E) So now I copied the folders to an external hard drive to be able to work on another computer. But when I tried to open the sessions on a new computer. . . You guessed it, nada.
So. . . the questions are:
(1) Those original sessions that now will not work - is there anything I can do to recover their functionality? We had work in there that I would prefer not to lose. . .
(2) Is this a known bug having to do with the length of the Audio File names?
(3) How do we get over this? My only idea so far is we could select all in a working logic session and say "Audio Tracks names to regions" or something and will that change the actual file names on teh computer? Then hopefully things would work on mulitple systems. . .
Okay. HELP! Thanks!
Polly

OK I got it.
It is necessary to use prefix "file:///" before file name.
Thanx everyway.

Logic 8 can't find my audio files

I recently upgraded to Logic 8 from Logic 7. When I did this, I almost completely maxed out the memory on my MacBook Pro. To make enough room for the upgrade, I moved many of my old files to an external hard drive.
When I try to open old Logic files, both those on my MacBook Pro and those from the external hard drive, Logic gives me a message that it cannot find the "_____" audio file, and prompts me to skip it or search for it manually. I'm something of a Logic novice, so I'm hoping that someone can tell me where Logic typically "stores" the audio files. Doing a search by date (trying to find the files by comparing the date of the Logic project and assuming that the audio files would be the same) turned up nothing. However, I didn't delete anything that I didn't move to the external drive. Those audio files have to be somewhere.
Can anyone tell me the file saving protocol for the audio files? I'm sure that I can find them if I can figure out where to look.
Thanks a bunch for your help (you Logic Rock Stars!)

When you originally recorded the songs, had you saved them as a Project? Because if you had, an audio folder for the song would have been created within the songs main folder, and that's where the audio files that are missing will be.
Because you simply dragged the Logic files over to the external drive, and then tried to open the songs, the original audio pathway is still intact, and the Logic file is looking for the audio in it's original location, which, of course, it is not now.
When you get the first message "Cannot find lead vocal 1 (or whatever it is), choose "manually", and navigate to the audio file folder of that song. Once you locate that first missing audio file, Logic will look there for the rest of the missing files, and finish loading the song correctly on it's own.
So... let me ask you... are the Logic song files themselves found with a song folder of the same name? If they are, you should also see a folder within that song folder, labeled "audio files". If that's the case, the audio for that song is stored within that audio files folder.
If you hadn't gotten into the habit of saving songs as projects from back in Logic 7, then this could be a very long, and tedious process, of locating those files.

Reinstall 10.6 again, but this time hold c boot off the 10.6 and erase the ENTIRE internal drive.
You do this by selecting the drive makers name and size on the left hand side, not the slightly indented partition underneath it.
If you erase and install 10.6 only into a parittion, say Macintosh HD, the you still have the hidden Lion Recovery Partition on the drive and it appears you already have 10.7
In the MAS, hold option and click Purchases to redownload Lion
FYI, you don't need to install 10.6 to reinstall 10.7, 10.7 can be reinstalled via the Lion Recovery, Command r boot.

In Photoshop CS5 I have updated my raw-update that was suggested by my updatebutton in my photoshop. But I still can not open my new camera srw-files from my samsung nx300.

In Photoshop CS5 I have updated my raw-update that was suggested by my updatebutton in my photoshop. But I still can not open my new camera srw-files from my samsung nx300.

You cannot open Raw files from the Samsung NX300 in CS5.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
You need Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or later which is only compatible with CS6 or later.
Some choices:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Join the CCPP
Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the NX300 to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5

I'm not able to listen to audio files that I purchased, help.

I'm not able to listen to audio files I just purchased. Please help.

Bravo are the files visible? Did you get them from the iTunes store and purchase them on your iPad? What happens when you try and listen?
If you haven't done so yet, I would try the basic restart/reset.

PSE Will not open and .psd or .jpeg files

Please help, I have been using PSE 11 with success to edit hundreds of pics. However now all of a sudden it will not open any .psd or .jpeg files. When I go to PSE menu - open a finder window opens up and when I go to choose a file, the open finder window goes disapears and then the menu bar gets faded out so I cannot access any of the menu options in PSE. There are have not been any PSE warnings or messages. I have to use force quit on PSE. I have restarted my computer and even uninstalled and reinstalled PSE 11 and this still did not solve the issue. I am running OSX 10.9 with 16 GB of memory and a 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo.

That was BRILLIANT how you somehow knew I had the coverflow view open. I tried to close the coverflow first thing but PSE closed down again so I went through the steps again previously suggested .........in my Finder - Library - Preferences - and deleted the follow again: (com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist / Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Paths / Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 Settings) I was then able to close the coverflow view and the combination of tweeks helped. I can now get back to work after three days of headaches trying to solve this puzzle.
THANK YOU!!!

How to? - Logic can now import multichannel interleaved audio files and convert them to individual mono files

This was listed as a new feature in the 10.1 Logic Pro X update but how do you do it? I don't see it in any documentation.

Otherwise,
Maybe Edgar knows?

How do I tell iTunes Match NOT to upload a song / audio file?

I produce music in Logic Pro and later play in iTunes for additional listening and testing. How do I tell iTunes Match NOT TO UPLOAD certain songs or audio files? I have to continously delete files from the cloud.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
PC

Hi,
It's all or nothing with iTunes Match. If the track is a valid format it either matches or uploads.
Do you want to keep the tracks in itunes? If so, I suggest that you create a second blank library then turn on match. This will show all your tracks in the cloud. If a track uploads, you can delete it from the cloud using this new library. When you revert to your original library, the track will still be present but the iCloud status will now be "removed" instead of "uploaded". You can see iCloud status in song view by going to menu > view > view options and tick box. Match will now ignore this track when scanning your library.
