Make ringtone in Logic Express 8?

I´d like to use a recording as a ringtone via i-tunes. But that only seems to be possible with the latest Garage Band, witch I don´t have (my old G5 Power PC seems to be too slow for i-live ´09). Is there a way to make the recording a ringtone-file in logic and send it to i-tunes?

Thank you BLU2.5 for your helpful post.
I have an old Garageband 2.0.2. I didn´t upgrade because I don´t actually use this program as I work with Logic. Now I found, the only way to upgrade Garageband is to buy iLife´09. For some of the features in iLife ´09 my 4 year old Power PC seems to be to slow, so I´m reluctant to install it, winding up with my old iLife-programs being out of function and the new ones don´t work. Buying a new Apple Computer? -not for a ringtone.
My iTunes has a folder "Ringtones" and the reason for not being able to put data in that folder might be, that I didn´t know about .m4r file till now. That seems to answer my question as obviously my Logic Express 8 is not able to convert an aiff-file or mp3.-file to an m43 file.

Can you make iPhone ringtones (M4R) in Logic Express without GarageBand 08?

Can you make iPhone ringtones (M4R) in Logic Express without GarageBand 08?
If so how?
Thanks,
Ed

Not exactly ... while you can make a ringtone with any application that you would like, Soundtrack Pro 2 and Logic do not have a conversion to the ringtone format. Mv4R or something like that. GarageBand does.
I answered my own question I guess
Thanks anyway,

when I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active eyetv won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on. When I totally close eyetv and reopen eyetv and open a live tv window the closed captioning comes back. I never noticed this with os leopard, Just after i installed os snow leopard. All software is up to date only I think, thanks to apple they droped support for logic express. Thanks for any suggestions.

Can i open mp3 in logic express?

I want to make a remix of a track by cutting samples form it and looping certain bits etc.... is this possible in logic express?

Hi,
Can i open mp3 in logic express?
When you import an MP3 file, Logic converts it into an AIFF file.
(Logic does this because many functions, such as waveform display, sample accurate editing, and so on, would overtax the CPU if Logic had to constantly decode and re-encode the MP3 files in real time for each change or edit.)
I want to make a remix of a track by cutting samples from it and looping certain bits etc.... is this possible in logic express?
Yes.

Dynamic logic expression

Hi Experts,
Iu2019m trying to build a routine with dynamic logical expressions but it's now working...
Basically Iu2019m building a string with the expression, a and after the string it's completed Iu2019m calling a macro that consist in a if.
if expression eq true
return true value
but the value returned by the macro it's always false, even when the logical expression it's true...
i already tried the logical function BOOLC but apparently my version, ECC 6, doesnu2019t recognize it....
Below goes the code, if anyone could help me Iu2019ll be appreciated.
"Macro definition
DEFINE check_condition.
IF &1 EQ ABAP_TRUE.
    move 'X' to &2.

Thanks in advance,

It would be helpful if you show us what is the example content of str_cond .
Anyhow your check looks like you want to compare some condition with value X which abap_true denotes i.e.
if field_1 = 10 and field_2 = 20 EQ 'X'.
endif.
This doesn't make sense for me or maybe I am missing something which is hidden behid this str_cond . Your left hand side expression value must however be equal to right hand side value. So the conditon will only be true if
if 'X' = 'X'.
endif.
Regards
Marcin
PS: please note that in ABAP there is no real boolean value, so you can't have condition like in JAVA or C
if (true_condition)
//do something
you always have to compare two values (here abap_true which is X if fact).

Can I use logic express with my Macbook

I just got a macbook and i was wondering if I can use Logic express or pro on it??

yes!
it of coourse depends what you want to do with it - but yes!
by all acounts logic express and pro will run very well on the new macbooks.
I'm using pro on my old powerbook - just about manage to use it live and it's slow but useable to get ideas down onto and am using an intel imac as my main studio computer with logic pro 7.2.3 - it's essentially the same as a macbook except it doesn't have integrated graphics and it has a faster hard disk which does make a difference. Apart from that i'm sure your new macbook would toast my powerbook in terms of performance.
Be sure to get the intel version of logic (7.2 and above) as an older "ppc" version may run but is not supported and would probably run very slowly.
Enjoy!

Logic Express 8 glitches with Mountain Lion - will I lose stuff if I re-install?

I use Logic Express 8, but it has been acting up since I upgraded my iMac from Leopard through Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. The sliders for navigating around my song projects are not working properly, which makes it difficult to zoom in on details. The program also crashes every time I use Flex-Time. Anyone know why this is and what I should do? I have a large amount of stored music projects on my Mac and, although they're backed up on Time Machine, I'm afraid that if I re-installed Logic Express 8 I might lose all this material and have nightmares getting it back.

Do people who use Logic Express 9 still have uses for Garageband?, Do people who use Logic Express 9 still have uses for Garageband?

Does Logic Express 9 make Garageband obsolete? Is there anything you can do in Garageband that you can't do or wouldn't want to do in Logic Express 9?

Does Logic Express 9 make Garageband obsolete?
Depends on what you want to do. If you are new to DAWs and just want to make simple songs without having to learn about the finer points of tracking & mixing, then Garageband is perfect. If you want to get serious about recording, engineering & mixing, then Logic Express & ultimately Logic Studio will be far more useful.
Is there anything you can do in Garageband that you can't do or wouldn't want to do in Logic Express 9?
Yes: create your first song without getting so frustrated you feel like murdering someone.

Problems recording using Logic Express 9

Hi everybody,
I'm a new Mac user. I'm a musician and I recently started to use a home studio for small projects.
Lately, I acquired some nice microphones to record a classical guitar and other acoustic instruments through Logic. However, something's going wrong and I can't make it work.
Before I describe the problem, let me tell you what I use:
- iMac (OS Lion 10.7)
- Logic Express 9
- m-audio Fast track ultra
- Rode NT5 condenser microphones
Problem:
As stated before, I'm having trouble using my microphones. Logic just doesn't hear the signal. However, if I plug a guitar directly into the m-audio box andf then into Logic, I can record no problem. Same thing if I use an electric piano (Yamaha P-95) into the m-audio box then into Logic with the Midi sound bank, everything's fine! It all goes dead when I plug in the microphones. The weird thing is that I can hear and see the signal through the m-audio box using headphones. However, Logic doesn't even show me a sign of any activity. I thought it had something to do with the Phantom power, but no. I tried and nothing. My guess is that something needs to be activated in Logic but I just can't find it.
Anybody with an idea?
thanks
CJ

Hi,
no worries, these are all good suggestions to check out.
Actually, I did all of this already, but the problem was somewhere else....
I finally found what it was. The m-audio has a software that has a board control and the "software returns" signal was off.
Also, a good "restart" of my computer made things a bit easier.
Thanks for your help!

Feeling Ripped Off - Logic Express 9 Upgrade Issue

Hi, I have been using Logic Express 8 for about a year. I just bought the upgrade for Logic Express 9. I started installing it, entered the serial number and then I was prompted to enter the serial number for my Logic Express 8.
I have since misplaced my LE 8 booklet with the serial number on the back (a bunch of stuff didn't make it to my new apartment in a move). I didn't think this would be a big deal. I thought I would be able to find the serial number of my current version of LE 8 by clicking on the "About Logic Express" tab when I have the program running. However, when you click this all you get is who it is registered to (me) and the version number (8.02).
I called technical support and asked them where I can find the serial number and they said sure, "click on About Logic Express when you have the program open and it will be right there (he also called it the splash page)." It wasn't and isn't. The tech support person said "ah yes, only the previous versions of Logic Express show you the serial number of the version you currently are running." I asked if there was anywhere else that I could find this number and he said "no."
Solutions? He suggested I find my receipt and fax it in and get a new serial number. Impossible, I don't have the receipt. Call the store and see if they can dig it up. Let's get real. It was purchased with Xmas money in cash I got from my parents.
Basically, I'm screwed. I have an opened LE 9 upgrade that I can't return. I have a version of LE 8 that I legally purchased and for some dumb reason there isn't a file or page or something in the program that notes my serial number.
Not fair. I guess I have to tattoo all serial numbers for stuff I purchase from Apple to my arms on the chance that I lose a booklet. Why Apple doesn't include a file or store the serial number of the LE version you are running somewhere on the system is beyond me.
So, I feel ripped off. Apple doesn't care. I thought there would be some way we could work this out (like printing the screenshot of the page that says I am the registered owner) but they would rather try to get another $100 out of a loyal Apple customer and force me to buy LE 9 straight up. I've probably spent about $7,000 on Apple stuff in the past 6 years. I am the definition of a loyal customer.
Not fair.

You didn't buy Logic Express, you merely paid for the right to use it. When you install it, you are presented with the license agreement to which you must agree.
At the top of the agreement it reads "IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE LICENSE, YOU MAY RETURN THE APPLE SOFTWARE TO THE PLACE WHERE YOU OBTAINED IT FOR A REFUND...."
So, try taking it back to the store and telling them you declined the license agreement and want a refund.
You can find a copy of the Logic Express license agreement here: http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/logicexpress.pdf

Logic Express 9 and moving factory content...?

Hello everyone, I know this has probably been asked before but I can't seem to find any posts on it.
Is it possible to move the sample audio files installed with Logic Express 9 to an external hard drive? I'm basically running out of space on my main drive, quickly. I can't locate the files anywhere on the hard drive and I'm going bonkers trying to find them. I thought you could move them onto another drive and then re-index them inside Logic.
Any response is greatly appreciated,
-Jason

Basically, they are in the Garageband loop folder - that's the tricky thing about them
Go to *(system HD)/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand*
that's where these little nuisances are.
Make a backup (time machine) in case something doesn't work out as it should, then:
Move them to an external HD, then re-index the loop browser to clear it of the missing loops,
grab the folder where they are on the external HD and drag&drop it onto the Loop browser in Logic to re-index them. Done. If you are missing loops afterwards, you didn't drag&drop all of them onto the loop browser. Check twice.

Logic Express 9 running with Tascam US-122 - possible?

Hello,
I've been scouring support forums and the Logic user manual all day and unfortunately cannot seem to find an answer to this:
Is it at all possible to run Logic Express 9 with the Tascam US-122?
I've just converted from PC to Mac in the last couple of weeks: all of my software and drivers are all up-to-date so that should not be an issue. Obviously that means that I've previously been using my Tascam with Cubase on the PC, and I was really hoping it would cope with Logic too. The problem is that Logic does recognize the Tascam but when it comes to recording, I can't get it to work. Apparently it's something to do with the sample rate?
Please help - if it can be avoided, I don't want to have to buy another device. Any advice or answers would be very much appreciated!
Thank you.

It sounds like you have the same setup as us.
I (oops, wife) has a brand new iMac, a Tascam US-122L and a Yamaha KX8 controller. She started with GarageBand, then bought Logic Express 9 and just yesterday we ordered the upgrade to Logic Studio.
Like any new computer setup of course nothing worked right away.
She plugs her guitar into the Tascam but it didn't work until we changed to Input 2 in Logic (or was it GarageBand, sorry I am getting them confused).
Anyway, my point is that you should not need any more hardware to make it work. We have yet to plug a mike into the Tascam...that will be the fun for the weekend....lol
Good luck,
Paul

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?

How do you add Jam Packs to the Logic Express 8 Loop Library?

I'm new to both Logic Express and Jam Packs. I just installed the new Voices Jam Pack and it is installed in the audio folder in my user library but it isn't recognized by logic, since the loops don't show up in the loop browser. I do not know how to add them to my loop library so if anybody knows how to add them I would greatly appreciate any advice. Also, when I installed logic express, my garageband loop library disappeared; is this just because all the loops were converted to a new format for logic to use?

Simply drag & drop your Voices Jam Pack folder into the LE8 loops browser and they will be indexed and added to the library. See page 644 in the manual for more information.
Re: GarageBand loops, you can check your HD/Library/Audio and your ~/Libray/Audio for all your Apple loops to make sure you still have your GB loops in either .aif or .caf formats. I still have both versions on my iMac, but if I remember correctly, when I installed LE8 I created a new folder for Apple loops in order to preserve my originals. Once you find your GB loops, try dragging & dropping them into GB's loop browser. If their format was changed perhaps GB just needs you to point to them.

Logic express and pro 7 to logic studio 9 upgrade question

I have logic express 7, logic studio 7, and just upgraded to logicstudio 9, but my serial number is not recognized. All my copies should be registered with apple already, so how should i best remedy this?

Hi again and thanks for the reply.
I tried to follow your instructions but isn't working still. I think I did something wrong. Here is what I did:
1. Went to Midi Setup, double clicked on IAC driver and then checked the "device is online" box. It says its on Bus 1.
2a. In pro tools, went to peripherals, at the synchronization tab I left MTC reader port: ANY and put MTC Generator Port: IAC Driver, Bus 1
2b. Then went to the Machine Control tab, enabled MIDI Machine Control and set it to IAC Driver, Bus 1.
3a. In Logic Express I went to preferences>Midi>Sync and selected listen to MMC Input and took Midi Clock off. I see where it says MTC but there isn't a place to make it the slave.
I know I'm not doing this right because I hit play on Pro Tools and Logic Express just laughs at me
Can you help me through this. I'm a novice with Macs and Syncing.
Thanks again friend.
