Syncing Avid (Omfi) files in Logic Pro

I'm mixing the music for a film and the post co. use avid and can only send omfi files. Does Logic 7.2 support omfi video files? I've only ever used QT's from Final Cut.
Also, any engineers out there use Logic Pro as opposed to Pro Tools for music to video? If so, do you output your video via firefire to an external device? If so, what do you use to convert the firewire into video? And do you have any sync problems?
Thanks

hello gary and welcome to the forum.
OMF is a bit touch and go with logic, but you are talking about video. avid will export QT no problem at all, OMFI with video embedded will make no sense to logic at all. tell your guys simply to export the project as a QT, or, as is more common to make an offline VHS or DVD. you would then catpure the project at your end. make sure they remember to include BITC.
this side of the pond, logic is the dominant player for writing to picture and it works just fine. the only sync issues you would have would be the same as if you were to run PT as they both use QT to playback video.
i use an external dv video capture device to both capture and playback over firewire. its ok, though i prefered my old DC30 card with 5squared drivers.... but i digress. the point of the dv capture box is that it allows you to output the video and audio to TV which is what i do. i have 2 screeens for logic and a 3rd screen for the video.

Is it possible to use .amr files in Logic Pro 9?

I have a .amr file. Is it possible to use in Logic Pro and if so how? If not is there a way to convert it?

Probably, but it's a freakin' travesty!

Ich nutze Logic Pro um Midi-Files zu bearbeiten. Unbearbeitete Midi-Files werden von Qmidi mit deutschen Buchstaben ä, ö, ü, ß wiedergegeben. Sobald ich das midi-file mit logic-Pro bearbeitet habe werden die Buchstaben nicht korrekt wiedergegeben

Ich nutze Logic Pro um Midi-Files zu bearbeiten. Unbearbeitete Midi-Files werden von Qmidi mit deutschen Buchstaben ä, ö, ü, ß wiedergegeben. Sobald ich das midi-file mit logic-Pro bearbeitet habe werden die Buchstaben nicht korrekt wiedergegeben. Dies passiert auch, wenn ich keine Änderungen im Midi-File vorgenommen habe. Bei Qmidi kann ich die Schriftarten / Einstellung " Western ( ISO Latin 1 ) " eingeben und diese Buchstaben werden korrekt erkannt. Es muss daran liegen, was Logic Pro aus dem Midi-File macht.
vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe im voraus
I use Logic Pro to edit midi files. Unprocessed Midi-Files reproduced from the programm "Qmidi" with German letters ä, ö, ü ß. Once I have edited the midi-file with logic-Pro are not correctly play back the letters. This also happens when I have not made any changes in the midi file. In Qmidi I can the font / setting "Western (ISO Latin 1)" and enter these characters are correctly recognized. It must be because what makes Logic Pro from the midi file.
Thank you for your help in advance

That's clearly a bug. Please send this to Apple using their feedback form:

Using Logic Express 8 to open .aif or iso song files from Logic Pro

I can open the song but only the lead vocal track has volume. I get a message that some of the files are "5 bit" and can't work with Logic Express 8. Is there a problem converting these files from Logic Pro to Logic Express 8 or do I have another problem

assuming no one else responds with a more complete answer, can you be a bit more specific of exactly what the message says in full.
Does it give you any indication which files?
Logic Pro does have more plug-ins and features that will not be backward compatible, especially if it some plug in that is required that comes with LP but not LE.
I haven't been able to find any reference about 5-bit - hence the need perhaps for a more complete message output.

IPod Nano 3rd Gen won't play AIFF files from Logic Pro 9

Hi, so I've bounced a few tracks I was working on in Logic pro 9 as AIFF files, imported them into iTunes and then synced them down to both an iPod Touch 2nd gen and this iPod Nano 3rd Gen. The tracks play fine on the iPod Touch, but on the Nano, when I try to play a track, it shoes the "player" screen for a second, but it always bounces back to the track listing.
According to the iPod Nano 3rd gen spec sheet, it does support AIFF files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP14
Any idea as to why this is happening?
Also, I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.4, iTunes 9.2 and I reset the iPod nano just before starting this whole project.
I'd like to keep the tracks in AIFF if possible...

Greetings WonderfulT1,
If you are having an issue with being unable to start your iPod nano when it is not connected to the computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps on this page -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Unable to edit audio file in Logic Pro

I am putting together some apple loop samples in LP 8, just some simple rhythm stuff-
I have a sample that I want to edit in the sample editor window, but I get the message:
"This audio file cannot be changed!
Volume or file is locked"
My editing choices are greyed out.
I went back to the source files to look at the permissions there-(eg, are they read only, or read and write).
In almost all cases they WERE read only, but even when I changed permissions, still got the same error message.
Also, it seems strange that the apple loops would be read only in the FIRST place- To think that I would need to change permissions at the source file of every sample I wanted to edit-each time i worked with a sample....!!! i mean that just doesn't make sense, right?!?!?
Any ideas?
BTW- I opened the same sample audio files in soundtrack pro and was able to edit them fine as I normally would (no messing with permissions, etc etc)
thank You.....

The thing with the Apple Loops is that since editing in the sample editor is destructive... if you did something to an apple loop that was used in other songs all those songs would now have that altered loop.
So for the apple loops you have to save it as a new file before you can edit it.
As far as the other files, just a guess here, but maybe since Logic was already looking at the file before the permissions were changed it remembers the state of permissions when it opened it.
It makes sense that your permissions need to be read-write because the sample editor changes the file as it performs its actions.

Can't use .mid file with Logic Pro 9

I've been given a .mid file from someone I know but I'm not having any success trying to access the file in Logic.
The file should just contain a piano piece he had written.
When I first downloaded the file it automatically opened with QuickTime Player. I closed this then tried various ways of getting it into Logic. Firstly I went to File > Open, and chose the .mid file. This was the result:
"Damaged project or not a Logic Pro project!
"Search for fragments?
"Damaged projects might create problems and crashes!"
'Search' or 'Cancel'
When I click 'Search' I'm told:
"Read error!
"This is not a Logic Pro project!
"No tracks found"
'Continue'
So, is the file empty (no tracks found)?
Or, because it was not created in Logic, it can't be opened in Logic. (I think he is using a PC, not confirmed yet - I also don't know what DAW he's using, yet)
That's ridiculous though, I thought MIDI was a universal language?
I also tried dragging the file straight into a Logic project, which tells me:
"No tracks found"
Can someone please give me a little hand!? Thank you

Two ideas, have your friend check and make sure the mid file plays on his/her system.
and/or
If the mid file checks out good on his/her system have them compress (ZIP) the file and resend as it could have become corrupted during transfer. It can happen.
Your description of the file (zero length) sounds like it missed the last few bytes.

If you are running a fast Mac with up to date OSX operating system you should not be getting any crashes.

Can't import FCPX xml file to Logic Pro

I'm using the trial of Final Cut Pro X to give it a go.
I export a test project as XML so I could try to import it into Logic Pro (latest version). Export seems to work fine. When I go to Logic to import the test.fcpxml file, it is grayed out and won't let me select it.
Not sure if this is a FC problem, or if Apple needs to release an update for Logic to be compatible with FCPX.
Any insight?
MacBook Pro, Lion 10.7, 4GB Ram, Intel Core 2 Duo, Logic Studio

This is a completely new form of XML. Very little works with it at this time.

Can't import audio files into Logic Pro

I have some original compositions previously recorded on a Windows PC that I want to work on in Logic Pro. However, despite converting them to .raw, mp3, apple tiff and having the original file as. Wav, Logic Pro doesn’t recognise them; they’re all greyed out when I try to import or open, even though they play ok in I-tunes? How can I resolve this?

.raw is not recognized by Apple. What format is this? Is this an audio file format?
.mp3... well, if you like that kind of degraded sound...
.tiff is an IMAGE file format. Whatever made you think this would work?
I think you have renamed the file extensions one too many times...and the Apple machine is confused. Try starting over.
Also, try to look at the info pane for each file, and make SURE it is seen as a .wav file AND that the file is set to read / write, not locked.

How to save kontakt sample files in Logic Pro X project?

Hi,
I'm using Kontakt (Komplete, Native Instruments) as my samples for my midi in Logic Pro X, and my sample libraries are stored in an external hard drive which I bring around.
I need to send my Logic file over to another computer which will not have my hard drive that contains my sample libraries.
Is there a way to save my Kontakt Sample midi files together with Logic's folder, so when I open Logic without my ext Hard Drive, the midi can still be read?
I tried clicking Save As --> Organize my project as a "Folder", and ticked EVERYTHING --- Audio Files, EXS instruments and samples, Ultrabeat samples, Space Designer impulse responses, Movie file, Include Apple Sound Library Content.
But when I unplugged my external hard drive (which my sample files are stored), and clicked open that logic file which i saved, windows pop up saying it cannot locate my samples.
Is this a bug in Logic Pro X, or am I doing something wrong?
Or is it totally not possible to copy sample files over?

Hi
Logic will not copy over any 3rd party samples etc. If you really need to, you would need to copy the appropriate libraries manually, though with Kontakt, some libraries would need to be re-authorised.

Importing AAF files into Logic Pro 7.1

Hello All:
Have got a number of song sequences that are in the AAF format, complete with associated audio .aif sound files in the same folder.
These AAF files were created on another Logic pro studio, as they had to export them from Pro Tools into AAF .
i am able to IMPORT the sequence arrange with requisite tracks set up, but when the audio files attempt to load, i am prompted by the finder to MANUALLY locate each audio file to enable it to place into the Logic arrange page correctly.
I get the "where is the file"xxxxxB4Wrww.aif" type message, and can see the actual file located in the finder window, but it won't just locate them automatically.
It takes a loooong time to search out in the list each file and then click DONE to enter it!
Then repeat for EACH file name.....jeez.
One song has 78 audio files associated with it!
A local tech guy in a MAC software dealership said this was a continuing problem he had also with AAF in Logic 7.....
Any hints, before i spend 4 mind numbing hours hand-locating
these frikkin files?
Thank you in advance!

Hi All,
I've recently been having problems importing MP3 files into the arrange window. I thought I changed a setting and can't figure out what's up? Also I haven't been able to change my sampling rate to 48K or more. Mind you, I'm in transition right now moving to a different continent and my external drive is stored away so I'm playing and importing from my OS drive.Is that the issue??
Thanks,

Hi Francisco.
Please re-post this as a NEW question. I just went over my last few posts, and here you are, and NO ONE has answered your question in three days. That is not usually the case in this forum.
Cheers
PS please give some details, what actually happens with the mp3 files? what is the actual problem? And also, what sound card / interface are you using?

Giga Files with logic pro

hi i am buying the new mac pro this will be my first mac.and also want to buy logic pro but was wondering if logic pro can read akai and giga files there music sample files
thanks
Jason

Yes, Logic (EXS24) translates Gigasampler files when you load them. It also reads and converts Akai format sample disks natively but I'm not sure if this is still supported in OSX, I haven't done it since my old Logic PC 5.5.1 version.
It doesn't read Akai S3000 files or the files from MPC samplers though, you'd need a third party translator application to do that.
