Opening logic 8 project in logic 7?

How is it possible to open a logic 8 project in logic 7?
Thanks in advance for any help

Yes, I am in this situation right now....
In Pro Tools, long ago, it was possible to save sessions in a "special" way to make them backward complatible. It looks like this is not possible in Logic 8...
Some other thoughts?

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.

Can Logic Pro 9 open Logic X projects?

I have Logic Pro 9 on my studio MacPro and Logic X on my MacBook. I don't intend to upgrade the OS on my studio system until after the new OS is released and things look stable. How can I share my projects between my MacBook running Logic 10 and my studio MacPro running Logic Pro 9?

Verve,
The difference here is that older LP9 projects are now converted to a different format when imported into LPX and so the converted project cannot be then imported back into LP9 once the conversion is done.
This is why, when you first open an LP9 project in LPX.. it asks you to resave the project.... before opening it in LPX and you could use a different name at that point to easily identify the new version though the older LP9 version is preserved.
You can also use the Selective Track Import feature in LPX to avoid any such conversion if you wish.... though frankly it is not needed... as the original LP9 version is preserved.
Cheers..

Odd message about missing file when opening Logic

Hi there
I've just done a fresh de novo install of Logic Studio 8 on my imac. When I open Logic Pro and select a new guitar tones project, before it opens I get a message in a new browser
"please locate missing 2.8sSpring_reverb.sdir" and at the bottom of the browser "audio file selected".
I don't know where this file is, if I click cancel I get a similar one for a plate reverb and then it opens.
Is there a way to rectify this? OSX 10.4.11 and a full install of all of Logic Studio plus main updates.

Opening logic and volumes

Hey guys, How can I set logic to open with no song, I dont wanna open logic everytime and have a template empty. I want logic to ask me which song I wanna work with.
Also, most of the time I open logic, even with an empty song the volumes are all the way down. Sometimes I need to re mix a song because of this. I starting to close the song on bar 1 and also in an empty channel but still sometimes do that.
Any help?
cheers

Alternatively, this section of the manual covers these issues:
_Opening and Creating Projects Automatically_
You can configure Logic Pro to open or create projects automatically—on startup—by choosing a startup action in the +Logic Pro > Preferences > Global > Project Handling+ tab.
• Do Nothing: As the name suggests, this does nothing. Logic Pro is opened and requires you to create a new project, or open an existing project or template.
• Open Most Recent Project: Automatically opens the project you were working on when you last quit Logic Pro.
• Open Existing Project: Automatically shows the Open dialog, allowing you to browse for an existing project.
• Create New Project from Template: Automatically opens the Templates dialog.
• Create New Empty Project: Automatically loads an empty project and opens the Save As dialog, allowing you to name and save your project.
• Create New Project using Default Template: Automatically opens the default template, and launches the Save As dialog, allowing you to name and save your project.
+To determine the default template:+
1 • Click the Choose button below the Default Template field in the Project Handling preferences tab.
2 • Browse to, and choose, the desired template (or project).
The full path and name of the chosen template or project is displayed in the Default Template field. You can assign any template or project as the default template.

Can't open Logic Pro 8 (or earlier) files

I just installed Logic Pro 9 and if I double click on one of my Logic Pro 8 composition projects, it launches Logic Pro 9 but doesn't open the file. Has anyone else had this problem?
(I can open the projects up by launching Logic Pro 9 and selecting File > Open but always found it much quicker and more intuitive to do it the other way.)
Even if I save a piece as a Logic Pro 9 project, double-clicking on the file won't open it... Any ideas?

I found a strange thing:
Logic is closed. In Finder double click on logic project file. Logic opens. The project does not appear.
Choose File > New...
Immediately close the New window.
The original file you wanted to open now begins to open in Logic.

Opening Logic Saves from an Intel Mac on A Powermac

Hi all.
I tried searching for this topic before I posted and couldn't find anything, so I hope i'm not beating a dead horse.
Anyway, me and my buddy both using logic express 7 to collaborate on some music but were having a major issue. I have a Macbook and he has a Powerbook G4. I can open his saved projects just fine, but if he tries to open mine it just crashes logic. My question is - Does my Intel mac save with binary coding, making it impossible for him to open my projects or is theres something else going on here? Is there anything i can do??
Any input would be greatly appreciated

Do you and your friend have the same Project settings (File > Project > Settings) which determine how imported files are handled?

Strange Crash when opening Logic 9 after deleting control surfaces preferences file

Hey, I have been having issues where logic crashes when I save certain projects of mine, so I tried to find a solution and one that I had read said that I should delete the control surfaces preferences file named com.apple.logic.pro.cs. I deleted the file, but it seems to have bricked my copy of Logic. I have included a screenshot of what happens when I now open Logic, which requires a force quit to get out of. If anyone has any suggestions of what I should do next I would really appreciate it.

Solved. It was an issue with my prokit (I had also been messing with that unfortunately). Found another thread and followed their instructions, back in action. Feel free to lock this thread.

Wondering if possible to open Logic sessions in Soundtrack Pro?

Hi there - operating Logic Studio - wondering if it is possible to open Logic sessions in Soundtrack Pro like it is possible t open garageband sessions in Logic?

No not possible but you can send an audio file/region from Logic to STP for editing and back again.
STP does not support MIDI. Logic projects could contain MIDI regions and software instrument channel strips. This would not work!
Export your track from the logic project to audio files and import them into STP as a multi-track project.

TS5406 I reinstalled my OS (Mavericks) and when I now open logic pro x

I reinstalled my OS (Mavericks) and when I now open logic pro x I dont have any drum machines or any other old library categories on the left. Theyve been replaced with drums and percussion, voice, etc. If I open an old project they reappear. Any ideas?

Make sure you have signed into the Mac App Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase it originally.
Then and only then will; it show up under the Purchase tab...
If you are sure you are using the correct Apple ID then contact Apple directly and ask them for assistance.

Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

Hi
To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

Every time i try to open logic pro 9 this box opens to download basic content that logic wants to update. i tried 3 times, and it does finish, but when i go to open logic again, box reappears. Can anyone tell me how to fix?

Can anyone help me? Every time i try to open logic pro 9 i get a box telling me logic wants to download a 2G basic content download, but even when it completes, on trying to open Logic it re-appearres and I cant get into Logic.Doesn't appear in downloads, very confusing!!

Try manually downloading and then installing the additional content using this link instead....
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
Note: For anyone else reading this.. This link is for the additional content for Logic Pro 9 and not for Logic Pro X.
Remember to quit Logic Pro 9 prior to installing any additional content files.
If you find you have problems downloading the files from this link you may need to also use JDownloader 2 beta to help you...
http://jdownloader.org/download/offline
Despite the warning notice that it is a Beta product, it works very well... Just remember you have to install Java first, if you haven't done so already.

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.

Does toggling CC off & back on bring it back?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Problem opening logic 9 in Mountain Lion

Hi there
Just bought a new 13" Pro and wondered if anyone else has had problems opening Logic in Mountain Lion.
The whole of Logic Studio has been successfully moved across with Migration asssistant, except Logic Pro itself whichwon't open because:
'You can't use this version of the application "Logic Pro 9.0.0.app" with this version of OS X.'
Problem is when I I try to install the update 9.1.7 I get the message:
An eligible Logic Pro version was not found in the Applications folder. This update requires Logic Pro version 9.0 or higher.
I also get this message when trying to install the 9.1.7 update on my old MacBook Pro, which has the original version of Logic 9.
Any suggestions?

Error message when I open Logic Express 7

Hi!
When I opened Logic Express 7 today, I got an error message, telling me that Logic had problem with the file com.apple.logic.express.cs.
I then searced the net and found out that the problem could be solved if I deleted that file, so I tried that (I didn´t deleted it, but just removed it to the trash, so I could replace it back if Logic wasn´t fixed with the file removed). And Logic was still not working. No sound when I tried to play back my songs or when I tried to play with the audio instruments. So now I have just replaced back the com.apple.logic.express.cs file, since that did not seemed to be the problem.
I also tried to remove the com.apple.logic.SetUpAssistant.standard.plst file, but that did not seem to help either.
Have anyone here experienced the same problem?
PS. Why is the solution to remove those files to get it work, when they are ment to be there in the first place?

Hi!
Thank you for the answer!
Will all the songs I have made in Logic be safe and still be 100 % as before if I reinstall Logic?

Kernel panic when i open logic

Hello people i need your help!
This is driving me crazy. Has anyone had this before? Does anyone know what to do?
When i open logic i get a kernel panic as the 'updating tree' dialouge gets halfway. I have now idea what, how and why its doing it. it was running fine untill yesterday. i moved a few folders around but that was it i did not install anything new so i cant understand why this is hapening?!
Please i need answers
Is there anyway of contacting apple directly?
thanks
andy

9 times out of 10 a kernal panic is due to a hardware issue. For example, bad ram.
I had something similar happen to me after I clean installed Tiger. Everytime I tried to install logic it would hang at a certain point. I took it to the shop and they diagnosed deffective ram.
You might be able to use your apple hardware test cd/dvd that came with your mac to check your hardware. Also apps like Techtool pro also diagnose hardware issues.
I found the following numbers at the bottom of apple.com/uk
Call the Apple Store on 0800 039 1010 (UK) / 1800 92 38 98 (Republic of Ireland)
They may try to get rid of you if you're outside of warranty (hardware) this happened to me and I pushed them about it being a "software" issue. This got me put through the "Pro Apps" dept (Australia)
Good luck
