Missing 'Export Track as Audio File' command Logic Pro X 10.0.6

Hi - I have just installed Logic Pro X (v10.0.6) for the first time, having come across from PT.
For some reason, Logic appears to be missing some key 'Export Track as Audio File' commands from the menu. The shortcut Command + E just makes the screen flash and nothing happens. I also appear to be missing a lot of other basic commands along with this, based on what I have seen online from other users. Please see screenshot below of my file > export options:
I have tried reinstalling but the same problem occurs.
Could someone please confirm if this is normal, or how I might be able to fix if not? FYI, I am running OS X 10.9.1..
I am hopefully just missing something obvious here.
Thanks

Evidently it's not giving the user a choice at installation?
It does.. but it words it along the lines of 'Have you used Logic Pro in the past?" kind of thing....
So an experienced DAW user that hasn't previously used Logic, would get the limited installation.
The more people you try and and protect from themselves the more generic (i.e. limited) the solution.
Religion would be a good example of this.

No Export Track as Audio File option

I have created a track in a project file that I want to place on my iPod. I select the track and choose File>Export> but the only option available is All Tracks as Audio Files. The Track as Audio File option is greyed out. When I choose All Tracks, I receive a dialog box saying, "Nothing to bounce!"
What am I doing incorrectly or not doing?

Have you tried "Bounce" instead?

I am trying to export all of the separate audio files from Logic Pro X so that I can transfer them into pro Pro Tools, however it won't let me do it without the panning information. The option to untick panning is greyed out. How can I do it?

I have exported the separate audio files, but it contains the panning information. When the export pop up window opens, the export with panning information box is ticked, but it is greyed out so it won't let me unselect it. How do I fix this problem?

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really

Unable to edit audio file in Logic Pro

I am putting together some apple loop samples in LP 8, just some simple rhythm stuff-
I have a sample that I want to edit in the sample editor window, but I get the message:
"This audio file cannot be changed!
Volume or file is locked"
My editing choices are greyed out.
I went back to the source files to look at the permissions there-(eg, are they read only, or read and write).
In almost all cases they WERE read only, but even when I changed permissions, still got the same error message.
Also, it seems strange that the apple loops would be read only in the FIRST place- To think that I would need to change permissions at the source file of every sample I wanted to edit-each time i worked with a sample....!!! i mean that just doesn't make sense, right?!?!?
Any ideas?
BTW- I opened the same sample audio files in soundtrack pro and was able to edit them fine as I normally would (no messing with permissions, etc etc)
thank You.....

The thing with the Apple Loops is that since editing in the sample editor is destructive... if you did something to an apple loop that was used in other songs all those songs would now have that altered loop.
So for the apple loops you have to save it as a new file before you can edit it.
As far as the other files, just a guess here, but maybe since Logic was already looking at the file before the permissions were changed it remembers the state of permissions when it opened it.
It makes sense that your permissions need to be read-write because the sample editor changes the file as it performs its actions.

Export - Track as audio file problem

Hi,
I think I've found a very serious bug:
I have an audio file in my arrange window. Now I'm going to export the track and I copied the last bit of the audio file to play 2 times. But when I export the track Logic ignores that little edit.
When I bounce the track everything is fine. What's the problem?

Now I have tried everything I could think of. Trashed prefs, made a new track, new arrangements, new computer. You name it.
But see for yourself! Download this zip and try to export the first track. You'll see that the last hihat shot is not present in your newly created audio file - whether it's 24 or 16 bit, wav or aiff.
Then try to export the merged track. Then it gets even more crazy. The last shot is still not there!
Download the little package here and try it out (10 MB): http://www.transferbigfiles.com/Get.aspx?id=6f9d82da-4eff-4147-a5f2-a154c6c271a8

Can't import audio files into Logic Pro

I have some original compositions previously recorded on a Windows PC that I want to work on in Logic Pro. However, despite converting them to .raw, mp3, apple tiff and having the original file as. Wav, Logic Pro doesn’t recognise them; they’re all greyed out when I try to import or open, even though they play ok in I-tunes? How can I resolve this?

.raw is not recognized by Apple. What format is this? Is this an audio file format?
.mp3... well, if you like that kind of degraded sound...
.tiff is an IMAGE file format. Whatever made you think this would work?
I think you have renamed the file extensions one too many times...and the Apple machine is confused. Try starting over.
Also, try to look at the info pane for each file, and make SURE it is seen as a .wav file AND that the file is set to read / write, not locked.
Cheers

How can i import an audio file in logic pro 9

i want to make some samples out of a song. how can i do it in logic pro 9?

Just drag it into the arrange window or audio bin, and use the tempo meter to get a tempo. But really...... rtfm.

Reverse audio file in Logic Pro x

I have done everything that has been told in discussions and it still will not work, advanced options and audio checked, highlight loop and hit file in editor, go to functions and see reverse but the only heading that is usable in functions is the gain, wont let me use reverse, any ideas?

Since the change is destructive you need to convert the loop into a new audio file, otherwise any other projects that use that loop would be looking at the reversed version.

Slicing Audio Files in Logic Pro 8 - tutorial!?

Anyone seen a reasonably good tutorial on using the Logic Pro 8 audio editing facilities to slice up loop/non loop audios?
I've been digging around and haven't come up with anything that explains it very well yet.
It's the more in-depth stuff I'm interested in

You will have to use an external program to slice up loops (chop) I use Recycle to chop up loops and output it as a soundfont, then I drag and drop the soundtfont into the User>library>application support>Logic>Sampler Instrument>Soundfont( make a soundfont folder if you don't have one) once you put the soundfont in the folder you can open it in the ES24 sampler just make sure to click the refresh button in the ES24. You can also use the apple utility to slice loops, but I do;t use it so you might find out how to use it in the forum. Hope that helps. If anyone needs custom instruments or some nice sliced beats or instruments email me at [email protected]

Audio File Format - Logic Pro 9 - Prefs

What File Format are you recording in? I have a book
that says to set the Recording File Type to WAVE (BWF).
I've always recorded in AIFF. What settings do you use?

Wave BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) is pretty much an industry standard now, the main difference is it contains "time" location in the file header. When imported into other MIDI/Audio sequencers the file will move to the correct start time. It makes moving projects between various programs or between Mac/PC platforms easier.
However, if that's not something you will be doing AIFF is fine, there is no difference in sound between AIFF & WAV.

How to "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" in Pro Tools?

I have a Pro Tools session that I want to mix in Logic. So I need to bounce all tracks as audio files like Logic's "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" command. Does anyone know if this is possible in PT, or do I need to bounce one track at a time (in realtime!)?

Sorry, but the previous answers are not quite correct. Consolidate tracks will only merge all your edits and fades and make a new audio file out of it. It wont consolidate any automation or insert effects. The same is true for exporting audio from the regions pane. Therefore you still have to perform a "bounce to disk" in order to consolidate properly. So no it doesn't have the "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" option......
Christian,
When "exporting" from one DAW to another, it's generally understood that automation and plug-ins will not be included.
Exporting from Pro Tools does indeed bounce the files to disk. We aren't talking about a stereo mix here. We're talking about exporting all the individual tracks. Are have I misunderstood you?
.... which leads me on to this question. How long has logic had the "Export All..." function as I have been performing "track lays" (i.e. getting my logic stuff ready for a pro-tools mix) for films that can often take days to perform and am embarrassed to stumble across this option on this forum as I fear I may have cost myself several weeks of my life working the long way round!!!
"Export All tracks as Audio Files" was introduced in version 7.0.
Don't feel too ashamed though. I have a good friend, who has been using Logic daily as long as I have (8 years or so now), who only 3 months ago, saw me utilizing that feature, and his jaw dropped. He too, had been wasting "weeks" of his life, doing it the way you have been doing it. : )
You're gonna absolutely LOVE using that feature from this day forward...!

10.7.3 and 9.1.6 exporting all tracks as audio files broken?

Hi all,
Is anyone else experiencing the loss of function with export all tracks as audio files in logic 9.1.6 on 10.7.3?
When I select the function, nothing happens, as in im waiting for a prompt screen to appear but nothing, no beachball, no beeps or error messages.
I should note I am using folders, and even when they are resized to start at 1 it still does not work, I have tried different songs and re-installed logic.
any info on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
tommy

In addition to the flex algorithms being disappointingly substandard in overall tc quality, flex tracks glitch constantly--especially if there are tempo changes or crossfades. You may be able to freeze them first and then export. AlternAtively, you could try tmelocking them and then using an alternate tempo map with a single tempo, then switching back after you flex tracks are bounced.

Can't export MIDI as Audio file. Any idea what I should have done?

Hi all,
wonder if anyone can help me out. I'm a "Logic"-newbie.
I recorded 10 "external MIDI" tracks(strings) from my Roland JV 1080 synth module into Logic Pro 9 and now I want to export the MIDI file as Audio but when I go to: File - Export - Track As Audio File, the "Track As Audio File" is gray/ not enabled !! The option-"Export All Tracks As Audio Files " is enabled, but when I try it, it doesn export the MIDI tracks with all the Roland JV 1080 data.It only exports any other recorded "soft instruments"tracks or Audio tracks I've uploaded. Keep in mind, the 10 Midi recorded tracks of strings (JV 1080) are using the same program name/patch, and all 10 tracks are on a single channel. In the Inspector window, it doesn't show the "Bounce" option either. When I started recording the strings from this patch, I used the "new track with duplicate settings"-button,so I could have the same sounding string patch available right away. My Roland JV 1080 synth, is connected to the Midi interface only. Should I also have Audio cables connected from JV 1080's Mix Out to the Audio interface (Apogee-Duet) in order to record directly as Audio?
Thanks for your time guys!

Thank you as well! Since, you have similar equipment like mine- (Apogee/ Emagic), how do you suggest I connect my devices properly. I got an external 12-channel "Mackie"1202-VLZ Mixer, which has my Roland JV 1080 box and my Kurzweil PC2X controller kyes connected to.These two are also, connected MIDI In and Out -to my Emagic Unitor 8 MKII (Audio Interface). I'm a little confused about the connecting of my Apogee Duet, since it has just 2 OUT's- L and R. What's the best rigging here, so I can hear the Audio back from the JV 1080 and the Kurzweil?
( P.S. The Apogee Duet's OUT's (L& R) are plugged into the Mackie'sStereo Aux Returns (L&R). The monitors are connected to the Main Outs.)
I appreciate your suggestions.

Why does Logic Pro 9 add 0.3s silence at start of all my tracks when I "export all tracks as audio files"?

OK - when I "export all tracks as audio files" it works fine - I get a load of exported tracks (annoyingly with the stupid "_bip" prefix at the end).
But I find that they all have about 0.3s silence inserted at the start. WHY??!!!
I checked, and on the timeline all the tracks start with their first note at the beginning of the track so there is no silence in the arrangement. But still this silence on export.
This Logic feature is so badly designed - why can't it do the simplest things as expected.

Thank you I will look into plug-in latency compensation. However, there is no latency or need for latency compensation when outputting offline files in this way. Latency compensation is for live playback where real-time processing matters. So this is flawed software design, hence my comments about it being illogical.
"there is no latency or need for latency compensation when outputting offline files.....etc"
You don't fully understand how Logic's audio engine and buffering scheme works... not that anyone fully does except the programmers. Basically your above statement is incorrect, as some plugins have built-in-latency and others don't, but that's not the complete picture. The problem is a combination of a plugin's built-in-latency and how Logic buffers data. Logic deactivates the audio engine when stopped, all plugins and software instruments become deactivated including the ability to load or purge data buffers with the exception of a software instrument or audio track that is selected for "live" input.
(Look up Plug-in-Latency Compensation in the manual for a full explation of the choices available)
I won't disagree with you about the software design, however, rather than flawed I tend to think of it as antiquated. The positive side of this is extremely low processor use and the ability to design templates with all plugins and software instruments loaded and ready to start a new project. The downside most Logic users are familiar with... unexpected overloads in the middle of a project when a approaching a region that makes use of processor intensive plugins, Loops that don't match up perfectly when starting a project from bar 1 and/or missing notes at the beginning of MIDI loop if starting at bar 1.... plus a half dozen other anomalies related to Logic's "efficient" audio engine. The efficiency concept made sense back when computers didn't have enough power to handle active or semi-active plugins, seems it causes more problems than not these days.

Logic 10.1 won't give me the option to 'export all tracks as audio files'. Why is this?

I need to send an important session today but when i go to file>export>all tracks as audio files, the option doesn't appear. I searched the help bar and did my own research on the internet but i couldn't get any answers. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or knows another solution to export all tracks as audio files?

You aren't running in Garageband mode are you? Do you have ALL of the Logic Preferences/Advanced enabled?
