Opening various tracks from various GB projects into Logic rop

Hi. I am having some difficulty. I have a song I have been working on in GB. I have been experimenting with different sounds and therefore have 3 different GB projects on it. I would like to take individual/different tracks from those 3 GBs and put them all in 1 Logic.
Do I have to export/bounce each one through Itunes?, but that permanently embeds my effects. I would like to be able to still tweak all the tracks some more once they are in logic.
basically, how do I open individual gb "tracks" not projects, into Logic? thanks.

just basically wondering if there is any way to select individual tracks within a GB project and move/drag/copy/paste/export/import etc. them into logic, while keeping all of their settings intact so they can be further worked on in Logic.
I know some roundabout ways but it will take forever. I have probably 100 tracks mixed up among 3 different GB projects (like 20 or 30 track in each project) and I need to get them into 1 Logic project. I know how to find the raw files, but then I will have to manually add all of my effects (many are customized) again and that could take some time, because I will have to create all my custom effects in logic. I would have to go into GB and right down all of my moves and the details of the customized effect and then make an replica of it in Logic....sheww....that could take a long time. i have tons of effects....

  • Can't open a track from iTunes in Garageband.

    Why can't I open a track from iTunes 12.1.2.27 in Garageband 10.0.3?  The track is grayed out.
    I loaded the tracks into iTunes from a legally purchased CD.
    I'm using an iMac OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3

    Are the tracks in iCloud Match?  Download them first, otherwise you cannot use them in the Media Browser.  GarageBand needs a local copy.
    from a legally purchased CD.
    Even a legally purchased CD may have a protection.  Do the songs show in your iTunes Library as
    "Kind : Protected AAC audio file", when you open the "File" tab in the Inspector panel?
    Then you cannot use them directly in GarageBand.  Make a backup copy of the album by burning an Audio  CD in iTunes  and reimport. That will help sometimes.

  • Consolidate tracks from multiple .Band projects onto one .band project

    The subject says it all:
    how do I Consolidate tracks from multiple .Band projects onto one .band project?? I've got 4-5 tracks which are each seperate podcasts on one .band file. I need to add a few tracks from a different .band file (because they're podcasts that are part of the same podcast series project). How do I consolidate them? Tried copy/paste the track, didn't work. Thanks a TON!!!!!!!!

    you can copy and paste, it just take a little more effort to do what you want. read the tute on rescuing files and you'll see how to move one project into another:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/Tutorials.html#allaboutrescuingfiles
    then create the needed tracks for the next project and move them into the right positions, etc.

  • Questions on sending audio tracks from a short film into Audition for mastering

    Ok so basically I have a 4 minute film in which i need to master the audio. I have a few quesions as to how to best go about this.
    1: Some of the clips came with 2 tracks off the camera yet they are both labeled channel 1 on the beginning of the clip on the timeline. Their properties are listed as follows:
    Type: Windows WAVE audio file
    File Size: 16.0 MB
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 24 bit - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:00:58:09344
    Why are there 2 tracks?
    2: Some other audio tracks are just labeled on the timeline as L and R. Both these and the other ones labeled Ch 1 are synced with Pluraleyes from an H4N Zoom recorder so i have no clue why they are labeled different. These one have properties labeled as such:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 69.5 MB
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate: 23.976
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:00:14:20
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0 (1.0)
    Yes those are audio files on the timeline.
    3: What is the general scoops with these multi track audio files? Do I need both tracks?
    4: What would be the best workflow to export all the audio clips into Audition and get them back in the timeline? I heard about importing then in Premiere clicking Undo so you don't have the audio track clips as "Audio Extracted" and you retain the originals, but then just replace them with the Audition audio.
    Working with sound is not yet a strong point of mine, i am just a video editor but need to get a grasp on properly handling this.

    Cameras although they can record stereo audio often only use a small mono gun mic mounted on the camera. The audio menus on the camera give you the option to record either the mono mic to both tracks (ie. Ch1 input to the camrea is fed to both) or as stereo tracks from a stereo mic or as split tracks with onboard mic via Ch1 to track 1 and, say, a radio mic fed via Ch2 to track 2.
    Your first files sound as if they came from the first of those options from an onboard mono mic. You don't necessarily need both trakc as they are identical mono tracks in this case.
    The second set of tracks were recorded as a stereo pair on the Zoom, hence L and R. They could be stereo or more likely again are double mono tracks where you will only need one of them.
    However, depending on the project, it may be more convenient to keep both tracks if any stereo music or effects are going to be mixed in on the multitrack. The final edited video will probably have two tracks on it anyway even if all the audio content is mono.

  • Exporting single tracks from a garageband project

    how can i export single tracks from a garageband  (6.0.5)       project (and not the whole song) to be converted in aiff/wav?
    thanks

    Solo the track you want to export by clicking the solo (arrow)button in the Track header. Then export the song to the disk.

  • Arbitrary data param not importing from Premiere Pro project into After Effects.

    Hi,
    I have an AE SDK plugin effect that works in Premiere Pro and After Effects... the effect has a bunch of standard parameters and one Arbitrary Data parameter.
    I believe that the Arbitrary data parameter is implemented correctly, and I have implemented all of the cases for PF_Cmd_ARBITRARY_CALLBACK...
    PF_Arbitrary_NEW_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_DISPOSE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_COPY_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLAT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_FLATTEN_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_UNFLATTEN_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_INTERP_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_COMPARE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_SIZE_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_PRINT_FUNC
    PF_Arbitrary_SCAN_FUNC
    The only issue I have found, is that when importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects with the "Import -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project" option, the value in the Arbitrary Data
    parameter is always the default. There is no problem saving or re-opening projects within AE or PP... and there are no problems with cutting and pasting instances of the effect.
    Importing a Premiere Pro project into After Effects using the Dynamic Link works correctly... the Arbitrary data is imported.
    Thanks.

    Some kind of answer would be awesome... there are Adobe staff members on here right?

  • Help! Exporting tracks from FCP to pull into a Compressor 5.1 mix

    Hi all
    I'm having difficulties pulling audio tracks out of FCP 6 into Compressor to create a 5.1 mix for a DVD, and wondered if anyone could offer advice.
    Our sound mixer has given us stereo and 5.1 WAV tracks, which I've laid into separate sequences under picture. (I would love to drop his tracks straight into Compressor, but they have messy heads, and include 2-pops, so I'm first aligning them with the video track in FCP.)
    When I export the stereo tracks, I create a stereo mix, getting one AIFF file, which goes into Compressor's 2.0 process to create an ac3 file. All well and good.
    But how should I export the 5.1 tracks? Bear in mind that I don't want to do any kind of "mixdown" in FCP, which I'm afraid is happening. The tracks are laid in this order: L, R, C, Lf, Ls, Rs.
    This is what I did:
    In FCP, set in and out points where I want to trim the audio
    In Audio Settings for the sequence, set all 6 tracks to Dual Mono and level at 0. (I can't help but suspect this is where I'm going wrong...)
    Export - Audio to AIFF, and set export to "Channel Grouped". This gives me six separate AIFF files. BUT! Files 1 and 2 are blank (although they have the correct duration), file 3 (which I expected to be track 3 - center) has M&E but no dialog. Track 4 (LFE) has all the dialog! And 5 and 6 also sound blank.
    Now, if I set Audio Settings to 5.1 (first pair stereo, 3 and 4 dual mono, and last pair stereo) I can't hear the center track playback (I only have stereo speakers).
    What am I doing wrong? Am I misunderstanding the export process in FCP? Should I just give up and try to trim the WAV tracks outside of FCP (if so, what do you recommend - Soundtrack perhaps?) and then drop them into Compressor?
    Many thanks
    Matt

    OK. I found the solution!
    The six "audio outputs" do NOT automatically correspond to the tracks A1 ... A6. In fact, in my sequence (I don't know if this is default), A1 went to output 3, and the rest of the tracks went to output 4. Go figure.
    To set the outputs correctly, you do have to set six outputs, dual mono and zero levels, which I did, but then right-click in each audio track (between the A1 label and the padlock icon) and set the output to the required file. So track 1 should go to output 1, track 2 to output 2, and so on.
    My outputs now sound right - hooray! I'll mix it down and make a test DVD now.
    Phew. Hope this helps someone else out.
    One question that comes out of this: for a stereo mix, am I safe to export as a stereo mix in FCP? (Which is what I've been doing.) The FCP/Compressor process won't somehow be downmixing it twice? I don't see any way to pull two mono files into Compressor for a 2.0 mix. Thanks!

  • Hello, How to transfer a MIDI tracks from one my projects to another one? Thanks in advance.

    Hello all, Is there the way to transfer some of my selected MIDI tracks to another my project as I'm doing an audio tracks in a Media/Bin/Audio File/Add Audio File...? Thanks in advance.

  • Can I load a logic 9 project into Logic 8.02

    Can't find this in search for some reason. I'm mixing a track someone has recorded in logic 9 and he wants to just send me a copy of the logic project rather than running all the audio tracks from bar 1.
    I'm just after a quick yes or no answer. I don't need all the fx etc. just the audio files in the right place. Thanks in advance....

    Yes, if you have Logic 9 also (or 9.1) it should open at your end with no problem, it will tell you what plug ins are missing but you can ignore that.
    However, definitely get your friend to 'save a copy as' of their project, and be sure to click all the boxes for it to copy all external audio files to the project folder, all of the exs samples (if they used any), same thing for ultrabeat and space designer (if they used any of these things with custom sounds or impulse files that they need you to have). This way the resulting project file will be as portable as possible - it should contain everything you need, apart from obviously any 3rd party plug ins or instruments that you don't have. If they used 3rd party synths, then they should definitely bounce these tracks in place before doing the above.
    Then, when you receive the project, you have two options for how to work with it. You can either just load it up and work from there. However if you do that, then you'll also be stuck with the environment as it is set up for their system. This may not be a problem if you work in the box. But if you use outboard gear and have set up a complex i/o setup which you use, then it will be a PITA to have to recreate it all from scratch. In that case, (if you have Logic 9.1), you don't need to open their Logic project at all. All you need to do is start a fresh project of your own, using your own preferred template. Then use the selective track import function to choose every single track from their project, and the tempo map as well if there are tempo changes. You can also go through the tracks and choose not to import the plug ins for tracks which use 3rd party plugs you don't have. This way you'll get everything, but it will be inside a Logic project set up in the way you personally are used to.. your screensets will be as you normally have them, your i/o setup will all be preserved exactly as it is in your own template. In most cases, this how I would go about it.

  • What is the best way to get audio from a regular cd into logic?

    I need to get some music of a regular music CD into Logic. When doing something like this on a PC I'd get some third party software to rip the CD and convert into audio files that I'd use in the Daw. What is the simplest way on a Mac?

    1. insert CD (der...)
    2. open iTunes and click 'inport cd'
    3. when the tracks are finished inporting drag them into a play list (just to keep things tidy.)
    4. select the tracks you want in logic.
    5. drag the tracks where you want them in logic
    note: when you drag the tracks in logic will create an overview for the tracks, this could take a while depending on the length of the son.
    hope this helps.

  • Routing midi from an ableton arpeggiator into logic express

    anyone know if possible to recieve the midi from ableton 6 running as rewire slave into logic instrument ? ie use the live arpeggiator rather than logic one ?

    I don't think you can do that with Rewire but you certainly can do it with IAC driver in the AudioMidiSetup. However, to do that, you can't run Live as a Rewire slave. Therefore, you'll have to start Live before Logic.
    To be able to use the IAC driver, go to the Audio Midi Setup and Get Info for the IAC driver. Select the ports tab and add a port. This port should now be available both in the Live output and the Logic input.

  • I want to extract audio from a video file into logic

    I have a video thats in the .WMV format and i want to extract certain bits of audio from it, how can i do this within Logic Pro 7.

    A quick google search on "convert WMF to quicktime" came up with this program: http://www.programurl.com/software/quicktime.htm
    Never used it, but it might be what your looking for?
    BTW, did you try just exporting the audio in WMP? Is that possible? I obviously dont use it You may also try to drag the file into logic and see what happens. Though I doubt it will work, its worth a try.

  • Need help importing session from Korg Triton Extreme into logic

    I am trying to import a full midi session that was sequenced on my Triton into Logic Pro9.  The problem I'm having is that when I record in, all 16 midi channels are sending to one Logic midi track.  Is there a way to import the full midi session into logic so I can edit the session in logic on the 16 individual tracks? Any help would be great!

    I think the triton can save standard midi files. Importing that file into logic would be the best and cleanest solution.
    Cheers,

  • All tracks from one artist merged into one huge album. How to separate into correct albums?

    So all the songs from one artist have merged into one huge album. All I did was select all the songs and changed the artist name. Not sure why my iPod has it under one album. On iTunes they're separated into the correct albums but on my iPod it isn't. All the info (Artist name, album name, etc) is good, i checked a million times and still can't seem to figure out why my iPod is reading it like that. Has anyone ever had this problem?

    Thanks for the great link!
    Although it doesn't allow me to cut 'n paste, like I was hoping, the answers give me a lot of insight as to how the track fields are structured, as well as full control over whether or not I want to group tracks together within the same Album.  So, in the end, this information is more useful than the cut 'n paste function, as it prevents me from losing potentially useful track information.
