Opening Logic files

After starting Logic(pro 7.2)When I try to open a file by using the file>open>choose method the window shows a list of modification dates in the left column. If I try to browse in this window the only thing that changes is the modifcation dates.I am then stuck in this window and the only way out is to force quit Logic.I have no problem opening a file using finder or opening a song directly from the HD.I have been using Martin Sitters book as well as the manuals without any major problems but can't seem to find a way around this.Does anyone have a fix for this. Thx

this is the correct procedure, as stated make SURE they all start from '0' and that you have the correct tempo entered in protools, and not JUST in the transport bar, but in the main tempo track itself.
also, im assuming you know the limitations of PT LE's beat detective (only one stereo or mono track at a time) unless you have the Music Prod or the Complete Production Toolkit. but there are workarounds to make it work, youll have to check the Digi user confrence boards for that. the to go back to logic you just consolidate the files starting at '0' and export them out.

Can't open Logic files

I am unable to open songs I created in earlier versions of Logic [eg. Logic Platinum] in Logic Pro 8.0.2. Apple claim in the Logic Pro 8 manual that this version of Logic will open songs created with older versions. When I try to open these songs I get an alert message saying the file is incompatible with Logic 8 and to load the song first into Logic Pro 7.2.1 or earlier and to save it in Logic 8 from there. Although I still have a copy of Logic Pro 7, I am reluctant to remove Logic Pro 8 and to reload Logic 7 on my computer in order to open these songs. If that's what I have to do then fine, but please can anyone advise me if there's an easier way! I run a 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Macbook Pro running OS X 10.4.11.
Many thanks,
Steve

You need to open the projects in LP7 and save else they won't open in LP8.

You don't have to remove Logic Pro 8 to run Logic Pro 7...is it installed on your system?If yes...the only thing you need is your XSKey

Opening Logic Files with Pro Tools/Mbox 2 Micro to Use 'Beat Detective'

Is this possible?
Just wanna tighten up some acoustic drum tracks
with Beat Detective.
If so, will I be able to use the new Mbox 2 Micro?
Thanks a bunch...

Logic File Corruption

I wanted to share my experience with other people that might be looking for an explanation for file corruption under Logic.
For many months I was experiencing frequent file corruption under Logic Pro and I could'nt find what was causing it.... until now.
FYI, unfortunately I still haven't found a way to fix the corrupted files. As far as I know, they're doomed.
I would work on a song for a few hours, withouth any glitch, then close the file.
When I would open the file again and start playing it, all my audio would go crazy (loud sounds and noise blasting through my headphones).
The file was doomed, corrupted and no way to fix it. I would have to start from an older backup and loose all recent changes.
Did lots of research on the web withouth success. I thought the culprit might be some of the virtual instrument I was using, including a new one I installed recently called, "Myroslav Philarmonic".
It was not.
I finally realized I had "Time Machine" running every couple of hours for backups, and it was corrupting any opened Logic files!!!
Lost so much time over this.
Hope it might help someone in the same situation.
Sly

Thanks Erik,
This was easy and solved it. I knew it had to be an easy solution I just overlooked. Keep up the great work!

Open Hub: How-to doc "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical File"

Hi all,
We are using open hub to download transaction files from infocubes to application server, and would like to have filename which is dynamic based period and year, i.e. period and year of the transaction data to be downloaded.
I understand we could use logical file for this purpose. However we are not sure how to have the period and year to be dynamically derived in filename.
I have read in sdn a number of posted messages on a similar topic and many have suggested a 'How-to' paper titled "How to Extract data with Open Hub to a Logical Filename". However i could not seem to be able to get document from the link given.
Just wonder if anyone has the correct or latest link to the document, or would appreciate if you could share the document with all in sdn if you have a copy.
Many thanks and best regards,
Victoria

Hi,
After creating open hub press F1 in Application server file name text box from the help window there u Click on Maintain 'Client independent file names and file paths' then u will be taken to the Implementation guide screen > click on Cross client maintanance of file name > create a logical file path by clicking on new entiries > after creating logical file path now go to Logical file name definition there give your Logical file , name , physical file (ur file name followed by month or year what ever is applicable (press f1 for more info)) , data format (ASC) , application area (BW) and logical path (choose from F4 selection which u have created first), now goto Assignment of physical path to logical path > give syntax group >physical path is the path u gave at logical file name definition.
however we have created a logical path file name to identify the file by sys date but ur requirement seems to be of dynamic date of tranaction data...may u can achieve this by creating a variable. U can see the help from F1 that would be of much help to u. All the above steps i have explained will help u create a dynamic logical file.
hope this helps u to some extent.
Regards

Trying to open old logic files.

I have Logic Pro 9.1.6. It works fine. I am trying to open old files and understand I need to save them in Logic 7 first. I have L7 installed on a separate disk with OS10.4.11. When I startup with that disk I can't launch Logic 7 because it does not recognize the usbKey. Any help?
Thanks
Peter Scholes

I just downloaded and ran the XSkeyUpdater which successfully fixed the XsKey so I can now launch Logic 7.

Can't open any files in Logic Express 8

Hi out there,
I just installed Logic Exp. 8 out of the box. Runs nice as far as i can tell, but has a major bug with me: It won't open any projects or other files.
If i click the Projects in the Finder, they will open just fine. But I can't open them in Logic.
Import of Files into a project works fine.
Ideas anyone? Update anyone (wink, wink to apple)?
Cheers,
Fox

You may be having the same problem I observed, and I think it may be a bug.
After upgrading to Logic Express 8, when I save projects they appear as a folder rather than a file in the finder, with the .logic suffix. Previous versions saved projects as a .iso file. On another machine I upgraded Logic Pro to Logic Studio 8, and here projects are saved as a .logic file. My guess is the .logic file created is supposed to be a file for both Logic Pro and Express, with package contents under OS X ... but for some reason this is appearing as a folder when created by Logic Express, with the package contents visible ... so you can't double click on anything to open them.
Has anyone else seen this? is there a workaround or is this a bug?
In the meantime, note that you can launch the Logic Express .logic 'folders' by dragging the and dropping the entire .logic folder onto the Logic Express icon in the dock.

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.

Archiving object in open hub with logical file name

Hello,
I am trying to use an open hub with a logical file name.
By the SAP help looks like you have to use/define a archiving object:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/8d/3e4ec2462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
Steps 1 and 2 of "Defining Logical Path and File Names" are done and tested:
       1.      Definition of the logical path name
       2.      Definition of the logical file name
       3.      Assignment of the logical fine name for the archiving object
But is it not clear to me if an archiving object is suppose to be used, which one then?, or if you have to create a new archiving object, with which characteristics?
Any help welcome,
Alberto.

Alberto,
Can you explain what you are trying to do. Are you trying to archive data from a BI object or are you trying to export data out of a BI object using open hub.

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.

Can't open an "Open TL" file in Logic 9.

I'm trying to open an "Open TL" file saved from PreSonus Capture in Logic 9. The file was saved as set1.tl from Capture. When I try to open it in Logic 9, the file name is grayed out, even though I chose "Open TL" as the file type in Logic 9. Any idea what I'm doing wrong or why this won't work?

Help!!!!! Same issue, I used capture (presonus 24.4.2 console) to record 24 tracks of live music, no issues.
I then saved the session as a open tl file so I can open it in logic 9 and I am having the same issues mugojoe.
I even closed out capture and then opened up logic and tried to open/import the tl file. I also changed the tl to TL and still no results.
I posted the issue on the presonus forum, http://support.presonus.com/requests/82636

Can Logic Pro 9 open very old Logic files?

Hi,
I have Logic Express 9 but can not open my quite old Logic files. I don't have my old logic version anymore and that is very annoying.
I get the error message that I have to open the file with Logic 7.
Could it be that the pro version is able to open these files?
Thank you for your answers!

Hi Pancenter,
I'm in the same trouble as many, trying to open and convert a .lso (not that old, it's from Sept 2006...) and I don't get a hand on a previous Logic (before 7,2). I run Logic 9, and it won't open this as you know.
Would you help me converting it ?!
Thanks very much in advance,
Best

Logic X can't open .mov files?

Logic Pro X won't allow me to open .mov files, whereas Logic 9 had no problem. Is Logic 9 still better for "Music to Film" projects?

Hi, when Garageband 3 (GB07) came out, the same thing happened but they released a patch/update shortly after. Seeing as how iLife '08 just came out, I'd say just sit tight for a week or so and they're bound to come out with the update.
