Unable to import wav sounds into Logic Pro X

I've been struggling with uploading all my sound kits into Logic Pro X. They are wav files. Every tutorial I watch has features that I don't have for some reason. Please help!

Have you enabled all the Advanced Tools in the Logic Pro X;Preferences choices?

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.

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,
Francisco
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?

HI, I am having trouble when importing .wav files into logic.

Everytime I import this .wav file of a DJ set i recorded, it shows me the waveform but no sound comes out when its played. I have tried converting the bitrate to 16bit and the filetype to aiff as I saw it had helped people with similar problems but when i do this its boosts the gain massivly and the recrding becomes very distored? Really dont know what to try??
Also the reason I am trying to get the Wav in was bevause i need to normalise it as it had to be recorded very quitely to avoid distortion on the recording. I recorded it by using the imput on the back of my monitors as they are usb, and th programme i used to record it is "audio recorder tool" from the app store
Thanks for your help, Joe

I think the problem is you're recorded 32-bit wav files which Logic doesn't support.
(don't convert to aiff, unless you have the right program, that understands converting little endian 32 bit wavs to big endian aiff format, you will get distortion)
I think your best bet is to download "Audacity" the free audio editor and convert to 24-bit WAV files. Re-save the audio file under a different name after converting. In Audacity this is done using the Export function, selecting other non-compressed formats.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac
The reason you want 24-bit WAVs to work with is you're going to be raising the volume of the file, 24-bit files will suffer less damage when editing with plugins, normalizing...etc.

When I export a AAF file from Protools 9 and Import the file into Logic ProX the drum track is out of sync. I created the drum loop using NI Maschine. Has anyone else seem this??

When I export an AAF file/project from Protools 9 using an external drive and import the AAF into Logice Pro X the drum track does not play correctly. It is out of sync with the rest of the track. I created the drum loop as a plugin using Native Instruments Maschine. Has anyone else had this problem?? Also how would I go about exporting the midi tracks from the Protools session. The midi track does not show when the file is imported to Logic Pro X. The midi data should export with the AAF file correct??

Are you using any plugins in Logic?
In Preferences/Audio under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set?

I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9. I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track. how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc???? Help

Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

Importing sound into Premier Pro CS3

I have a Sony HDR-XR100 HD video camera. It saves files with an .m2ts extension. This extension is not supported by CS3. Using Sony's PMB (Picture Motion Browser), I convert the .m2ts files to .mpeg2. When I import these files into Premier, they appear, but have no audio. How do I import the audio? Thanks.
David

I put it in the main Premier folder, presumably like you did, and it worked. I'm not real familiar with Macs, but the folder I put it in was "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3". There are several other files there with similar names. If that doesn't work, I'm lost, since obviously I had to come here for help myself :).

Hey, I'm using CS for Mac and I'm having the same issue , importing .mpg into PPro and get no audio.
I found the ad2ac3dec.dll file online but I'm not sure what folder to place it in. I've found the folder named Adobe Premire Pro CS3 and just pasted it into that but it didn't work.
My camera only records in .mpg and I really don't want to spend money on a converter after spending a bucketload for CS3...
Any help would be much appreciated!

How to get a good vocal sound with Logic Pro 9

I apologize for the ignorance of this question, but I am really looking to figure out a way to get my vocals to sound the way I would like them to sound, but I'm not really sure where to start.
I started out using Garageband years ago, and really like the vocal setting of "Live Performance" when I went to real instrument/vocal. It had a sound that I liked, and I didn't have to go to a lot work to achieve it. When I went to Logic Pro 9 a while back I saw that they had the Garageband setting of Live Performance, but it really didn't sound the same, so I ended up starting songs in Garageband, and then importing them into Logic Pro.
I would really like to move on and be able to set up vocals from scratch, and put in different inserts and play around with different sounds to experiment with for vocals. Does anyone have any advice on learning inserts to use, and perhaps a tutorial video they might suggest that could help educate me on this?
I don't even know if you should start with Compressor, then Chan EQ. Perhaps someone might be able to steer me in the right direction. Thanks so much.

Klunde, you are missing out the most vital parts in your post. A vocal chain for recording is:
You (your voice) - Microphone - Mic Pre - (perhaps hardware compressor, perhaps not) - (perhaps hardware eq, perhaps not) - then finally what you are recording into.
The source is the single biggest influence on what you need to do in the mix regardless of what you are recording into. In our case here, it happens to be Logic. My own vocal chain changes depending on what i am aiming to achieve and this carries through to the mix. On one song I may use a blue face 1176 plugin if required and on another a CL1B etc. Both sound great but both sound different and there are a myriad of ways to use each one. The same goes for EQ's and reverbs. But what you need for all of this is a great source. Get this right and your mixes and decisions will be a lot easier and your desired results faster to achieve.
So what is your source for your vocals?
After this it is all down to taste. For example, a compressor going into an eq sounds different from an eq going into a compressor. Neither one is right or wrong. Experience and experimentation will tell you which you want to use for a particular song. Top mixer Chris Lord-Alge uses lots of compression on everything. Top mixer Bruce Swedien is notorious for using virtually none. Both consistently mix great records and both have spent a life time honing their art and skill set. Experiment but get your recording chain right which means choosing the right kit for your vocal and gain staging everything properly.

What guitar distortion do you guys recommend if I want to get a Jimmy Eat World sound in Logic Pro?

I am looking for a nice Alternative Rock sound comparable to the likes of Jimmy Eat World, saosin, etc... Looking for this sound in Logic pro and just need help. Any answers?

You are better off getting a dedicated gaming box for gaming than using a Mac for heavy gaming.
Unless you go with a top of the line iMac with just about all of the optional components, Macs do not make great heavy gaming machines. Plus, a gaming box is sooo much cheaper than a Mac for gaming.
For using Logic, I would just go for the 21 inch screen iMac and get it with the optional full 16 GBs of RAM and optional i7 CPU and, if you can afford all of the options, get this iMac with the optional Fusion drive, too!
The combination SSD and hard drive in the fusion drive will help make up for the slower 5400 RPM drives that they are putting into only the 21 inch screen models.
With this configuration, this iMac would last you, at least, 5 years.

How do I load an AU instrument (Garritan ARIA player) into Logic Pro X on a Mac Mini OSX 10.8.5

how do I load an AU instrument (Garritan ARIA player) into Logic Pro X on a Mac Mini OSX 10.8.5 ?

You install the player .component in the Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components folder (though an installer probably does that for you) and install(er) the sample content wherever you want, then you start Logic (the new plug in will be validated during startup), open or create a project, create/use a software instrument track, instantiate the player in an Instrument slot, and in the player itself you choose the sound(s) you want to play and load those.

Rewire Mainstage into Logic Pro / internal soundcard

Hey there, Logic Users!
I noticed that some of the Mainstage sounds are not too shabby and I would like them to load into Logic Pro.
Since my external soundcard is pretty much fried, I wanted to know if there's a way to rewire Mainstage into Logic Pro using the internal soundcard that the iMac provides?
Thanks for all the responses,
VN

Hi
Mainstage and Logic share exactly the same plugins, channel strip settings and the like (with the notable exceptions of Playback and Loopback, which are only available in Mainstage).
There should be no need to attempt to hook up Mainstage to Logic simplly to load any sounds into Logic. Save the plugin presets or channel strips in Mainstage, and then Load them in Logic.
