Opening a Logic Pro file in Logic Express

Hi my Nephew is thinking of buying Logic Express (He can't afford Logic Pro) so we can collaborate together on some toonz. Now if I send him a song I have created in Logic Pro will it be OK for him to open in Logic Express to work on that song?
What will have happened to all the parts that I have created on the instruments in Logic Pro which are not available in Logic Express? would it just be MIDI notes/ data? and vice versa.
Many Thanks

Hi there...
When i'm in the studio I work with LP7, but on the road (and its more often then not) I use LE7. This 12" powerbook 1.5gz w/ 1.25mb 80hd has the FULL LP7 install and the FULL LE7 install, as well as lots of Garageband loops, and most free, AUs.
In Express (with a LP7 install, on the same machine) the ONE thing that is poor, is opening a LP7 project that leverages PLUGS for LP7. But that's ok as Sculpture and all those other goodies are too cpu hungry for a single G4 (IMHO).
So you will not get those working, BUT, with a real LP7 install the EXSp24 can OPEN the instruments from the much much larger library of material inside LE7. It's kind of like Logic Express-PRO...sounds strange i know.
Oh, and don't forget that LE7 need to really be the 7.1.1 version as that one adds the HybredMorph inst from GB. Keep your bus counts down and no auxs in the LP7 sessions if you KNOW a LE7 users will pop them open
YMMV... but Good luck.

  • 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 Final Cut Express open Final Cut Pro files?

    I am wishing to edit a Final Cut Pro file that is saved to a hard drive, but I olny have Final Cut Express. Will I be able to open the Pro file with Final Cut EXpress? If not, is there any way I could open the file?

    I did this, as instructed, but when I got home to see if my FCE would open the file, it didn't even recognize it as a standard file. When I tried to force it, it just brought up an error message. I do have all the related media files on my drive. Anything I'm missing here? Thanks so much!

  • 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.

    Be careful. Back up your project first because, once opened in LE8 it will not open in 7....

    My Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.1.0 project file was created and worked upon on my personal macbook laptop. I have been working entirely off of an external hard drive that was plugged into my macbook.

  • Can't Open Final Cut Pro file

    Hello - I've been given an FCP file that I tried opening in my FCP 6.0.6 and it said "Files format too new for this version." So I assumed it was a FCP 7 file. So I downloaded free trial of FCP X to see if that would open it and it wouldn't either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a converter out there that will convert down to FCP 6? I paid for 7toX and it wouldn't read it either. THANKS!!!!

    Thanks Gregory. I have read something similar. I was actually trying to see if there was some kind of converter out there that I could download that could make the XML file. Looks like I'll have to ask the person who created the file to send me a XML file. Thanks again!

  • Open sessions in Logic Pro by (default) instead of logic express

    Hello , I just upgraded from logic express 7.2 to logic Pro 7.2 and my sessions are still opening in logic express as the default app. Is there any way to have them open in logic pro automatically?

    thanx alot , that did it .Im glad I joined and
    posted because I was about to delete the Logic
    express app . but thanx again for the reply and
    hospitality .
    CB, Hi, I am thinking of doing the same upgrade as yourself. Now that you have the answer to your problem, is the 'transfer' of songs from Express to Pro 'seamless'. I.e. I take it that there are no problems transferring work done in Express to Pro? Like yourself, I am a relative newcomer to this forum etc

  • Problem with Logic Express file in Pro

    I opened a Logic Express 6 project in Logic Pro 7, and found that some of the Audio Objects won't play.
    All of the Audio Object tracks appear in Arrange window (and the Environment), but tracks higher than number 8 (9-32) are inaccessible.
    The only things that appear in the channel strips for the unplayable tracks are the track name, group assignment (off), and "read." When I tried to assign the track in the Audio Object Parameter box, I found that tracks 9-32 are grayed out and not available for channel assignment.
    How do I make the grayed-out tracks available for assignment?
    Thanks,
    Weldon

    You're welcome. I personally set mine high-but the higher you set it themore resources logic needs. I just set mine to 128 which is fine for me and how I like to work. Cheers

  • 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.

  • Logic Express 7 won't open in Snow Leopard

    Hi
    I hadnt opened my logic express 7 in a while, and in this period I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I tried to open it and it gets stuck with a message saying Loading Audio Files for "Dark FM Drive.exs"...
    and it stays there with a beach ball and then I have to Force Quit.
    Will my old Logic not work here?
    J

    Have you tried to just open LE7 app, not a project? If it launches OK, then there is something wrong with the sound library files (could be permissions or a file-system bug). Also, if you installed SL 10.6 it makes sense to update it to the most recent and stable version, because the initial one was full of bugs, as I remember. You can also re-install LE7 (if anything else doesn't work).

  • Logic Express 7.2.1 - GarageBand 3 projects open correctly

    If you've ever opened up a GarageBand 3 project into Logic Express 7.2 and heard no audio, you will want this new update. The main reason why GB 3 projects did not play sound when opened in Logic Express 7.2 is related to these projects using more busses than were available in Logic Express 7.2. Logic Express version 7.2.1 now features 12 busses, up from 8 in 7.2.
    Hopefully, this will solve the majority of the 'no audio' issues GB users have when opening their projects into Logic Express.

    Sweet eh?
    Thanks & regards,
    Jorge
