Logic Pro 9 messed up my iTunes song.

Hello,
So I was importing a track from iTunes into Logic and I was changing the tempo of the track. When Logic was done changing the track's tempo, the audio file quality just dropped completely, even on iTunes. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I don't think that is Logics' responsability, in a way... plus, it would mean that every audio file you dragged onto Logic would be copied first, which is not what you want in many scenario's.
You can find your track by rightclicking on it in iTunes and choosing "Show in Finder" from the contextual menu.
You can then hit cmd-D to duplicate the file, and drag the duplicate onto Logic.

Logic Pro 9 won't import GarageBand songs from iPad

This used to be a simple process. Import the song via iTunes from the iPad to the Mac, save the ".band" file to the desktop, click on the song and it would open in Logic Pro 9. I can no longer get iOS GarageBand songs, new or old, to open in Logic on the Mac. Logic keeps crashing. When I click on the ".band" file, try to open it from within Logic, or try dragging onto the Logic icon, the only option I get is to save the file that I'm trying to open. If I save it and then try to open it, there is nothing there but an empty arrange window with the name of the song at the top. If I click on all of the advanced options when saving, Logic crashes and says it needs to be updated yet there are no available updates. It's already up to date. Is it suggesting that I purchase Logic X bc the iPad has the latest version of GarageBand? One problem there is, I can no longer open the old files, that opened previously on the same Mac, etc., that were recorded on the 8-track version of GarageBand. Any ideas? Should I re-install Logic Pro 9?

Hey, thanks. I have GB 2.0.1 (which is probably linked to GB 10) on the iPad 2 and LP 9.1.8 on the Mac. I take the iPad on the road and sketch out ideas then transfer them to the Mac. I have found a way to transfer the audio manually by opening the project folder and copying 1 track at a time, but that does me no good as all of those audio tracks get replaced anyway. I want to keep the MIDI files and know how to access them in the ".band" file or change the language in the file to make GB 2.0.1 open in LP9, if any one knows how to do that.
Do you know how to downgrade to an older version of GB for iOS? The one purchased on my app store is 2.0.1, unfortunately. Where/ how can I get an older version? Thank you.
As for buying LP 10, my Mac won't support it as it's 32-bit.

Do you have to add effects to Logic Pro X loops when mixing a song?

Hi everyone,
I have a question that has been puzzling me and I cannot seem to find an answer for! I have searched high and low on the internet and still cannot find the answer and so I would be grateful to everyones help with this issue.
My question is that you hear so much about the fact that when you are recording and mixing a track that different instruments for example the Bass Drum and the Bass guitar occupy similar frequencies and we are told that this is why you have to add effects to these instruments when mixing but what I want to know is are they talking about just organic instruments like real drums and a real bass guitar that you manually play and record to Logic Pro X`s audio tracks? Or should you treat the Loops exactly the same? And should you also add effects to the Logic Pro X loops when you are mixing those specific tracks?
For example if I add a Drum Loop or Bass Loop to a project and then start mixing the song should I add any effects for example EQ, Compression to these Loops? And what would be the best effects to add to the Bass and the Drums when mixing to help them stand out in the mix?
Many thanks.

Whoever told you that overly generalized rule, please stop listening to that person .
The way you post your question (and they are good questions) points out a big problem nowadays. There is so much cookie cutter solutions out there like if you have this, then use that, if you want to get this sound, press that button. The problem with that is that you you often have no idea why you are doing that in the first place.
Let me give you a simple example about gardening (sorry about that). If I grow tomatoes and look up on the internet how often to water them, I can find an answer "water the tomatoes once a week". I might do that and result is that the tomatoes will die. What I didn't take into account is that the advice was given from someone growing tomatoes in Russia, and I live in California where I might need to water them once a day. So, the answer you are looking for is not "how often to water the tomato", instead you have to learn how much water, depending on your climate, the tomato needs"
Your music is the tomato. So the question is not what button to press (how often to water), but what button needs to be pressed, depending on your specific recordings (your climate).
If your bass drum and and bass guitar are more further apart frequency wise, then there might be no need to EQ them, it depends
Nobody should or could tell you what to do, unless he or she sits next to you at the mix and "hears' what is going on and what needs to be done.
Don't get me wrong, I don't say that there is a lot of great advice and general guidelines out there. The problem is when you apply that blindly without knowing a little bit why that advice is give and how to apply that, or if it applies to your situation at all.
In addition: The skills and knowledge about the theory is as important as the skills and experience of listening and judging your recording/mix and decide what action to take.You have to learn what to listen to and what you hear. If you don't know how distortion sounds then you miss out on fixing that issue. If you don't know how a pumping compressor sounds, then you miss out on fixing that issue.
I think you get the idea
Hope that helps

Logic pro 9 - Tracks reset faders when song returned to start

Logic resets settings on tracks (volume, pan, maybe more) when song is returned to Start. All mixing changes are lost even if song is saved before rewind. Automation state irrelevant.
All suggestions thought about and may be tried.
Thanks,
Joe

Ok!
First off, I would like to thank Data Stream Studio for how fast they returned with an answer.
Next, their answer did allow me to make changes to settings and have the changes survive after saving and rewind.
However, after going through all the tracks and resetting the faders to 0db and saving the file; if I then try to make further changes to the mix and then rewind the same problem reappears.
This in effect will force me to mix by list not by DAW graphic interface.
So I guess the real question is "what it is blocking logic Pro 9 from recording and keeping channel setting changes?"
As I stated in the original question, the automation mode is irrelevant. Such changes as are made in the automation data are lost when the track is rewound.

How to disconnect Logic Pro X from iTunes?

I wish to use Logic Pro X, but I do not want it connected to my iTunes Libarary or Movies folder. All sharing is turned off within iTunes. How do I set logic Pro X NOT to see iTunes?
Marty

Go to the Apple Store or Mac App Store for your country(if any). If there's none or they doesn't sell those, you can't buy Logic Pro and need to find someone who sells the computer in your country.

Audio issues and glitches using either Logic Pro 9 and iTunes library from OS 10.9

Since the new update to OS 10.9 have been experiencing some unwanted glitches with beach ball pop ups when working in logic pro 9.1.8 and itunes 11.1.3.
Can anyone tell me if this a troublesome Maverick OS 10.9 bug that needs fixing or am I just having trouble with logic pro 9, audio interface Apogee, or internal hard drive issues???
Your reply would be gratefully appreciated.
Yours,
Jonnichi

Hi Guys
Thanks for your help, i've managed to solve the problem by myself
Solution
1. Start Logic in 64bit mode - see here for more info
2. Open the crashing file
3. The file will crash but this time you'll see a message on the pop dialog saying "32 Bit audio unitbridge quit unexpectedly while using the Massive plugin"
4. Confirm the plugin name cousing problems in the error/crash report - look for this line; Plugin identifier:Massive.MusicDevice.componet - in this case, the Native Instrument Massive caoused the problem and had to bounce a short audio loop, I am lucky couse the AU wan on looping melodies. Try to reload the application in 32bit mode or use alternative.
5. Problem solved

Help setting up my audio interface with logic pro x

Hi everyone,
I am a newbie with regards to home recording and using Logic Pro X and I need some help and advice about setting up my home recording set up for the first time. I want to connect my synthesizer Korg Triton Extreme to my Audio Interface Steinberg UR22 to my Apple Imac computer.
What I would like is if I can create backing tracks or use pre-set sounds or drum patterns from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer and then transfer them onto Logic Pro X to help me compose songs.
How should I go about doing this? And what settings should be applied to Logic Pro X so that I can hear the songs as they are being played and recorded?
So far I have connected my synthesizer's two outputs to the two inputs on my Steinberg UR22 Audio Interface. I have also connected the USB point on the audio interface to my Apple Imac computer. But when I have tried to add a drum track from the Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer I cannot seem to add any of the drum sounds. Nothing appears to be recorded despite me trying several times. I cannot hear any sound coming from the audio interface either despite having a pair of headphones plugged into it.
I would also like to find a way to synchronise the drum tracks I want to record from my Korg Triton Extreme synthesizer to Logic Pro X. So that when I click on the record button on Logic Pro X the synthesizer track automatically starts playing and recording on Logic Pro X. Whats the best way to do this? And will I need a Midi cable for any of the things I want to do?
Many thanks,
James.

Hi James
I just got myself a macbook pro and logic pro X, and I also have a Triton Extreme and the UR22. So I know what the learning curve can be like - it's been a long time since I've used a sequencer in a computer.
I assume you are aware of the difference between audio and midi? With your current setup, all you can do is play your Triton and record the sounds as audio loops - you should be able to hear the Triton through headphones plugged into the UR22, and (assuming you have installed the UR22 driver) you can also hear the Triton through your computer speakers (or headphone output) once you tell Logic there is sound coming in from the UR22.
If you want to be able to play the sounds in logic pro, or transfer drum patterns (which are in midi format), you will definitely need midi cables (you may be able to use midi by connecting the Triton's USB out to your computer, but having not tried that, I don't know if it will work - it does on more recent synths)

Logic Pro keeps (Not Responding) when launched or opening tracks...

Running logic Pro 7.2.1 on Power Mac G5 and using a Tascam FW-1884 control surface. During startup logic Pro hangs. Sometime if a song is opened via "Finder" it opens fine, but most times it just hangs. Also, not sure if this is related, but all logic pop-up window have this funky maroon color and its hard to read the text and button can't be seen at all.
PLEASE help!!!!!! Production DOWN!
-Chico

I had many problems with my Mac G5 2.7 refurb/Logic 7.2.1 when I first got it back in March. Although my problems were different than yours some things I remember doing that helped:
Trashing Logic's preferences fixed a situaution where my Logic windows were flashing randomly and Midi info was corrupted causing my Mackie Control Universal and my Korg Triton to freak out Logic.
Repairing disk permissions because 2 times Logic did not totally install correctly. Yes I reinstalled Logic at least 4 times to figure out why I was having freezeups system wide.
Working closely with Apple Care documenting my problems and finally getting my local Apple store in our local Mall to change out the motherboard, dual processors and optical drive. Yes essentially a new computer. Since that time I have not had one system wide freezeup (any wood around here)
or major problem.
AT one point running the "Quick Test" from Apple's startup disc showed a Bad RAM chip. Again not related to you but running the test could show something.
I have 2 issues left to fix - Logic 7.2.1 for me has a transposition problem. Midi tracks will show up after I open a song file transposed down a step. The fix is to reboot Logic which is a pain. 2nd - Annoying beep coming from my power supply. Beep is audible in studio near the tower and is also in the audio chain coming out of speakers. No fix yet but again I'm working with Apple Care.

Logic Pro X won't let me play iTunes samples :(

Hiya,
So basically, im quite a new user of logic pro x and im not really sure how it all works so excuse me if im being so dumb about this, but when i try and drag into the space an itunes sample or any sample into an external MIDI it says "The specific number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create, then try again!"
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN and what can i do to make it work?
Yes, you proberly think this is so obvious but im still compleatly new to this.
Please try and help me! x

External Midi is for connecting to an external Midi instrument like a Midi keyboard to use it's own sound engine...
Instrument tracks are for using an external keyboard to play Software instruments... that are built into LPX (or to play 3rd party AudioUntil plugins you might buy later)
Audio tracks are for samples, loops, MP3/wave files like from iTunes.. or recording via a Microphone into LPX
What you need to do is simply drag and drop a sample or loop, or music files from iTunes.. into a blank area of the arrange window and a new Audio track will be automatically created for the audio sample or loop or music file.. you are dragging and dropping...
or
Create a new Audio track and then drag and drop a sample, loop or song from iTunes.. onto that new track
As a tip... You probably would best to watch a few videos on YouTube.. (Just search for Logic Pro X) on how to use LPX... and take some time and read the User Guide (Go to the help menu in Logic Pro X's menu bar)

Sharing to iTunes VERY glitchy in Logic Pro X

I am having a big glitch with the Share to iTunes feature. Most of the time, when attempting to File/Share/Share to iTunes, starting the marker at Zero, the marker jumps ahead past the first few tracks and only copies the very end of the song to iTunes. Sometimes, but rarely, the same procedure works. Is there something I am doing wrong. I even clicked in the blank "Arrage" space as you had to do in Logic Pro 9, but that doesn't help either.
I am experiencing other weird things too such as the track I want to edit... when zoomed. Only shows half of the track if there are other tracks above it. Then after some finaggling, It suddenly shows the whole track. Experiencing LOTS of weird stuff. Sometimes the "Automation" will not work in a track... then a few minutes later it will. I have a new iMac with lots of power so I'm not under spec or anything. Please help. Also, why do some Library instruments not work while others do. The coveted Hammond sometimes works, and sometimes not. Why all the glitches?

I am having a similar problem...
According to the manual, when I choose to Share to iTunes, it is only supposed to bounce from the beginning of the first region in your project to the end of the last region in your project (unless you have cycle selected, then it will only bounce the portion of the song in the yellow cycle area).
However does not work as advertised in either of these cases... when I don't have cycle on, it bounces from the beginning to about a minute past my last region, and if I turn on cycle mode it just does the same thing.
Pretty weak Apple.

Logic Pro X Crashes when i bounce my song

I recorded an original song via logic pro x (as i have done many times), but with this particular song it keeps crashing when i bounce the project. I have tried both offline and realtime mode. I have tried disabling and removing plugins, and i am not using any external plugins. i am using a macbook pro. i need help. i am desperate. i have bounce the song and tried to send it to itunes but everytime it crashes. and it hasnt been consistent on where it crashes. please help
thad

Then either you have a corrupted audio file in there somewhere or the project itself has become corrupted (given you said you were not using any 3rd party plugins and were bouncing in realtime...)
Try using the selective track import facility to import each of the tracks into a new project.... and see if that highlights any issues with audio files.. If you get all the tracks imported across into the new project then try bouncing from that new project instead
http://music.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-use-selective-track-import-in-logic-p ro-9--audio-3181
Note: This tutorial is for LP9 but it works much the same way in LPX...
Failing that, please take a screenshot of your mixer view and post it up here so we can take a look/see for anything that stands out as a possible cause...

How to import my data(Mail, iCal, iTune songs & apps, etc.) to MacBook Pro?

I used firewire cable to migrate my data from old PBG4 to new MacBook Pro.
But still wonder how I can bring or import
- my old mails from Mail
- iCal schedules
- Address Book cotacts
- iTunes songs & all apps for iPhone
- some Safari/ Firefox bookmark
Thanks much in advance for help!

I understood the location where I could import from or export to. But I was (and am) quite confused to understand possible problems if the importing files are not compatible on two different computers such as G4 and intel-based mac.
Now I'm done importing those data, but not quite sure I did check correct way if those files are compatible. Everything seems fine, though.

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.
