Opening Garageband Projects in Logic-Question

When I open a garageband project in Logic 8, most of the audio tracks won't have sound, and when I create new audio tracks in those same projects, they also often don't have sound.
It seems random which tracks don't work and which do. And doubling tracks that are functioning right usually doesn't work.
All other kind of tracks (software inst., ext. midi, etc.) work.
Any idea what's wrong?
I looked through the discussions and couldn't find an answer- sorry if it's been asked.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Make sure the correct output is assigned to the audio tracks.

Opening garageband projects in logic

opening garageband projects in logic seems to be a very simple procedure, however im having some difficulties.
I've tried to open all my garageband projects in logic pro 7, but none are working. I get a message saying "Damaged song, or not a Logic Express Song"
I dont know how to go around this message, because its not letting me open any.
Can someone help me with this?

im using logic pro 7 and my garageband is version 3
I have been looking through the "logic for garageband users" manual, but the process goes a lot smoother in the manual. I actually got the idea from there to open the garageband projects in logic. It just tells me how to do it, but it didn't address any troubleshooting issues with opening them.

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.

Opening Garageband Project In Logic Express

I have successfully opened / saved a garageband project in Logic Express and everything seems to have come over fine. In the arrange window, the 'Input' button is highlighted on many tracks (the button next to mute, solo, etc.). Should the 'Input' be selected or de-slected? It seems like its automatically sending it to a Bus. Any suggestions / basic ground rules?

Well, the Input monitoring button activated live input monitoring. So, if it is activated (and you have selected input monitoring in the preferences, of course), Logic will pick up any audio signal coming in via the selected inputs and feeds it into the channelstrip, even if it's not running. You can also play along without recording. Recording, however, activates monitoring either way.
Maybe you have an open mic, which might produce feedback or other disturbing noises. Turn off input monitoring (and disarm record, of course) to mute the live input monitoring.
Basically, only the channels you need to hear should have Input monitoring activated.

Why can't I open garageband files in Logic

Loaded Logic pro 9 last evening and whew that took a while.
I started trying to open Garageband files in logic and
it made the attempt but didn't get very far. The progress
window open but there is no progress. Just the beach ball
and finally force quit of Logic.
Logic works on it own, and Garageband works on it's own
just fine.
Another question, Do I need to install the Jam Packs I used with
Garageband into Logic. I also have a few third party loops,
should I install those as well or will Logic see all those loops
when I finally get logic to open my Garageband files?
Of course many thanks in advance.

I have Garageband 5.1 and yes Ilife 09 as well.
As an Update, I checked off all the items that were
unchecked in my second installation using the install
disc. Then I restarted the computer.
This allowed some success with opening some of the
garageband projects in logic. However 3 of the projects
still refuse to open in logic.
These 3 files seem to have one thing in common. When I try
to open them in logic they get as far as the progress
bar but then they all stop at a point where the words
" channel eq" or "noise gate" is displayed and then I
get the beach ball followed by force quit.
I suspect the problem may be associated with plugins.

Why can't I open Garageband projects?

Ever since getting my new Macbook Pro, I've had problems opening Garageband projects. I don't know if this is a permissions issue, something funky with the account that I migrated from my old Macbook or what. I can't even create a new project without getting the error message "The file couldn't be opened."

Okay, I fumbled around and fixed it. I had previously gone into system preferences/ file sharing and changed all user accounts to everyone read and write. That didn't help. I just went in to the hard drive and right clicked my user folder, clicked get info and changed the setting to everyone read and write. Then I went into applications directly on the hard drive, clicked on GarageBand and did the same thing. Now my projects are opening. I'm not sure which one fixed it but it's working. I hope this helps anyone else having this problem.

Can't open Garageband project, please help

I was using a Mac Mini, 10.7.5, and recorded some vocal tracks on Garageband 11. I clicked gospel choir vocal effect at first, and it was fine. When I wanted to try another effect by clicking another one, the application quit. When I tried to open the project again, the initializing window popped up, and a few seconds after, it said something like "Garageband quit unexpectedly, do you want to reopen to restore the windows". When I clicked "reopen", it directed me back to Garageband recent project page without opening the project I was working on. I tried to open other projects I worked on previously, and those could be opened; just not the one that I worked on recently.
I didn't back up anything with the Time Machine because I never used it before, didn't know how to use it.
I just saved the project to my USB drive, deleted the one on the Mac Mini, deleted Garageband, updated to iOS10.9 something, reinstalled the newest version of Garageband, tried to open the project from the USB drive, failed again.
When I open the "show package content", some mp3 files of my recorded vocals are there. I don't think all of what I recorded are there, but some.
Please help.
Thanks!

Which version of Logic? Which OS? Update your profile so we know what you are running!

Can I open garageband files in logic?

I am going to be upgrading to Logic Express from garageband in a week or so, and I have some more questions:
Okay, my first question is; Can I open garageband 08 files in logic, and if I do will they be mixed the same? And my second one is a bit more complex;
On garageband there is an option to place software drums into little bricks and make them into beats. Can I record real drums and map the individual hits onto a grid with Logic?
Thanks---

Yes.

Yes, though in a different way than in Garageband.

Opening garageband projects in LE and Apple Loops

I know I have to set the key of the song when I start a new Garageband project but the problem I'm having is that most of my songs don't stay in that particular key(I usually just set it to C). How can I get the loop browser to ignore the key and play the loops in their original key when I'm browsing? Is this possible by opening the GB project in Logic Express? Does the Logic Express loop browser ignore or have the ability to ignore whatever key the original GB project was in?

Hi Joey,
I don't think so,
I believe the only way you have is to transposit
once it's add to the arrange window.
the best you can do while browsing loops is search by key.
Cheers,
Jorge

Plug-ins not available when opening Garageband song with Logic-Pro 7.0.1

Can anyone help?
Whilst on the move recently I found myself composing a piece using Garageband. However when I got back to the studio and attempted to open the song using Logic Pro 7.0.1 I get:
Core Audio: Plug-in "BassAmpSi" not available! then
Core Audio: Plug-in "Hybrid Bas" not available!
As these must be Garageband instruments I don't understand why they're "not available" or what to do to make them available.
Any ideas?
Thanks everybody!

I googled this topic and found a Logic forum - they said you should update your software to 7.1, then the problem vanishes.

Can't open new project in Logic after updating to Snow Leopard

I've been having a few problems with Logic 9 since updating to Snow Leopard (10.6.8 ) a couple of days ago.
Every time i click on "new" and try and start a new project - logic freezes and i get the rotating circle sign and Logic stops responding - eventually i need to force quit and start again.
Existing projects seem to be functioning fine, although slightly slower than before.
Does anyone have any fixes for this?! Not being able to start a new project is quite a big problem!
Thanks

opened from the tool bar and also directly from applications. Any more suggestions?
Can you start a new project, or are you saying you cannot launch DVD SP at all? If the later try deleting the preferences (since you are on the road, make sure you copy the preferences to someplace in case something goes wrong.) If it is the former, you may not be ablle to open the existing project if you took all the steps of clicking cancel etc., though the deleting preferences could possibly help if the preferences are corrupted and causing an issue when you are trying to skip files. (Would not count on that one though.)

Opening GarageBand files in Logic express

Hi,
Have you tried running Software Update...

Logic crashes when trying to open a Garageband project file

Hey guys,
Since discovering that software instrument apple loops (SIAL) do NOT include the effects/sends when they are imported into logic, a discussion on here mentioned that when opened in Garageband, the effects are included. The suggestion was that by opening a garageband project in logic, the effects/sends would all be imported into logic from garage band.
This worked fine for a couple of software instruments such as '80's Dance Bass Synth' but strangely every time i try to open a garageband project file in logic with any of the software instrument loops 'Classic Rock Steel' or 'Southern Rock Guitar' logic crashes trying to open it. It usually loads up until an effect such as channel eq, platinumverb, or ducker and then stops loading and freezes.
It is really odd that it seems to be related to those guitar loops. So i was wondering if anyone has a fix, or if someone could spare a minute of their time and make a garageband project with a 'Southern Rock Guitar 2' software loop and try to open this project file in Logic - just to see if it is a problem with my logic, or if it is the same for everybody.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
Nick.

Transfer GarageBand iPad projects to logic on mac

Is there a way of transferring iPad GarageBand projects to logic pro 9 without the use of GarageBand?
I currently have the 08' version of GarageBand as I don't use it on my mac but trying to open a project from my iPad leads to an error message stating that I need to upgrade to the latest version.
Is there a workaround for this or is upgrading the only solution?

Yes, you need to update your version of Logic to 9.14 and above (the latest is 9.15)
Check this article out
http://9to5mac.com/2011/05/25/logic-pro-express-can-now-import-garageband-for-ip ad-projects/
Scroll down to the Logic 9.14 update

i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating. Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern
