Actually i am not sure i really understand your question because it seems to me that in your subject heading you are asking about " wav " files which are audio files but in your message you refer to playing those files via your midi keyboard which indicates you are trying to play " midi " files and not " audio " files.
If you want to play a audio file:
Create and audio track in a project and the import the "wav" file into that audio track and it should play as an audio file when hit the play button in the transport controls.
Please clarify what type of file you want play using LExpress 9 to give us a better idea as to how to help you.

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.

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.

Can I use non-apple earphones with radio remote?

I have a new Ipod 3g and want to buy the radio remote. Must I use the earbuds supplied with the radio remote or can I use non-apple earbuds and earphones? Will I still get good radio reception with a non-apple earphone?

Yes you can. I use Sennheiser PX100's and they work just fine.
Plug the headphones into the remote rather than the iPod to get the best reception.

In IOS 7.0.3, it no longer lets me use non-apple charging cords. Did this happen to everyone?

The fix is to log into your current account. Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email and apple id back to the old email address (doesn't matter if you have it any longer). Once the change is made, then enter your password for that account on the device. Once you get in, go ahead and go back to appleid.apple.com and change it back. That fixed mine.
need to edit this to clarify a bit

I have just bought a 2011 iMac (2.5 ghz, 4gb) and logic express 9, and when i installed logic and tried to run it i had a message saying 'you can't use this version of the application logic express with this version of Mac OS X. How do i sort this out!?

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Using non apple cords??

i recently sold my ipod on ebay in a working condition and now the buyer is saying it isnt working and wants a refund...she said she tried it on a couple different computers using different cords and docks...i heard that if you use non apple approved or apple cords or anything with the ipod it has a chance to malfunction...i need some proof so any help will be great thanks!

i recently sold my ipod on ebay in a working condition
You sold it without a cord?
i heard that if you use non apple approved or apple cords or anything with the ipod it has a chance to malfunction
It's an electronic device. It has a chance to malfunction simply by plugging it in.
If the cord works, it works.
Of course manufacturers always recommend you use their accessories but if an item is built to the manufacturers specs, it should work.
You need "proof" of what?

Can I use LogicPro .plist file with Logic Express?

I've set up a whole bunch of nice keystrokes in my Logic Pro. I want to give them to a buddy who is only in Logic Express (which may not be possible I know). These took me hours originally to set up ... and when I go to his Logic Express the keystroke assign window seems to be different from the time when I originally created the keystrokes (I've been transferring the .plist file through the last two versions of Logic). So it would take me a lot of effort to reassign the keys in his Express. Is there any way the preferences can be transfered from the Logic Pro to the Logic Express?
All ears,
Ben

Hi
You can export keycommands from within the Keycommand window (under the Options Menu in the KC window).
You can then import them into Express on the other Mac.

Transfer Digital Performer files into Logic Express?

I have some old recordings that are on a ADAT tape. A friend of mine said he could transfer them to Digital Performer. Does Logic open DP files?
Paul

Unfortunately, as was pointed out, Logic Express does not open Digital Performer files.
Not does it import OMF files, nor Broadcast Wave files, which means you can't export time-stamped waves from DP and import into LE. If you know someone with Logic Pro, it DOES support Broadcast Wave. This could be one work around.
Otherwise, you'll have two options.
1) Import the ADAT recordings directly into LE using an interface that supports ADAT In (MOTU 828mkII comes to mind). This will only work if you can re-assign the inputs of the interface to be the first 8, since LE only "sees" the first 12. This is one of the major limitations of LE, and why it's not really suited for "pro" work.
2) Import into DP, and then bounce the tracks in DP as separate WAVE of AIFF files, then import them directly into LE in the Audio Window. As long as each file starts (and ends, preferably) at the same time (i.e. as set in the DP bounce), you should have no problem aligning the tracks in LE7.
Number 2 is probably the best solution. Just remember that each of the WAVE files created in DP should begin at the same time (i.e. 0 0 0 0). This will GREATLY simplify the import into LE and make aligning the tracks a painless procedure. You can edit later in LE.
Hope this helps.

Garageband Files on Logic Express and vice versa

My daughter uses Logic Express at school (sorry, I don't know which version). She has been trying to do her homework on our eMac (OS 10.3.9) using Garageband 1 and her M-Audio midi/usb keyboard via USB.
Her teacher says that Garageband files should work fine with Logic Express and vice versa.
The problem is they don't. We have tried importing files, also saving in one programme and opening in the other - all to no avail.
Presumably we are doing something wrong somewhere. Does anyone know how to get Logic Express to use Garageband 1 files and vice versa, please?
One more point of information, she saves the files to a 'PikaOne Slim Flycase' 40gb Portable HD to take to school to use on an Apple Laptop type computer (Powerbook?). Both home and school machines appear to be working perfectly with this device.
She also has some software called 'Logic Hit Kit' but I don't think this is has anything to do with Logic Express. It's files do not work with Logic Express either

That is correct, and you still have your level
status, it just doesn't show. I read in The Lounge
(for level 4 & 5) that they were planning to return
the level status and custom icons to the forum. But
it has been a long time now, and they haven't. I miss
my custom icon
Yes, apparently they intend to at some point. But, they have more pressing things to attend to first, so it might be a while. I have discovered that there's a special forum about this.

How to open a "wav" file in Logic 7.2.1 and then remaster?

A fellow musician wants to see if I can improve audio tracks his band recorded in Cubase SX. He has a CD with the WAV files of each of 12 audio tracks. First question - Could someone tell me how to open his files and then import them into Logic Pro so that his tracks 1-12 correspond to my audio tracks 1-12 and be in sync?
Second question - assuming I can get his tracks going what are the key ways to boost volume or "master" his tracks so that the end result, a stereo mix, is loud vibrant and "radio ready"?
I'm familiar with the mastering plug ins on the output channels of Logic. I've used "Soft Maximizer" but it seems to be compression related. Are these "rooms", available on the output channels, the only way to increase volume and aliveness?
He's doing this because the studio he's at can't seem to make a mix that he's happy with. He says the mixes lack volume and vibrancy. Thanks in advance.

Use the Audio Editor window to import the tracks. Then drag them one at a time onto Audio tracks in the Arrange window so they all align to Bar 1 1 1 1.
The fun will start if they were not recorded simultaneously as you will need to align them manually to be in sync. Good luck with that it takes time but is not impossible. Use the moveable start point in the Audio Editor to adjust the start of each wav file until they are aligned.
To improve the levels, probably the quickest way is to Normalize each track first in the Audio Editor window before you start mixing and EQ'ing them in Arrange.

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.

Opening Garage Band files in Logic Express

I'm a school music teacher and have just started using Logic Express 7 to open kids' Garage Band files for tidying up and polishing.(Still a beginner with logic I'm afraid!) Have just purchased Logic Express 8 update, but haven't installed it because I heard that it won't open Garage Band 3 files. Is this true? If so, is it possible to have both 7 and 8 running independently on the computer? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The original release of LE8 had a bug which required a workaround to open GB files. The subsequent 8.0.1 update fixed that. After you install LE8, go to Software Update and install the 8.0.1 update and you will be fine.

Bouncing files in Logic Express 9

I am using Logic Express 9. I brought some GarageBand files into Logic to mix. I then bounced the mix to an AIF file for mastering. Later I decided I didn't like the mix and decided to remix the song. I bounced the new mix to a new AIF file but the new AIF file still plays the old mix. I even trashed everything in Logic Express and went back to square 1 and started all over again. But every time I bounce to an AIF file it still plays the old mix. Why is this happening? How can I get it to recognize my new mix? Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, assign a new name to your new bouce, like "project1.aiff" instead that "project.aiff",
Then rename if you want to call it as the past bounce. cheers
