Want to import very old songs into Logic Pro 9

I cant open my old songs in Logic Pro 9.
Logic asks me to open them in a earlier version 7.2. or older.
Does anyone know a different way, a converter tool or something?
If not where can I possibly download an older version of Logic?
I have more than 80 songs and dont want to lose them.
Thanks a lot in advance....

hi there,
as far as im aware and what i have had to do in the past is open in logic 7 then save at that version, in order to open in versions 8-9
im afraid you would have to install 7 or track down the install discs, unless you have them to hand.
bear in mind you will need the dongle that comes with 7 if you want to run it
cheers t

    There are "free download" EXS presets - look at the bottom of the [home page|http://www.vengeance-sound.com/eng/indexes/indexFreeSounds.html] "Vengeance EXS Presets" and download.

  • Imported 1h 20m file into Logic Pro 7.1.1.it Became Unstable

    Imported an hour and twenty minute file into logic, and it became really unstable. i tried to cut the region up, and save the clips as differnt files, but it wouldn't let me stopped playing the file after a certain bar (bar 57).
    is this normal behavior?

    Try trashing Logic prefs. (Or move to desktop to re-import keycommands)

  • Problem importing Garageband songs into Logic  Express

    Hi I have spent around 4 hours looking for an answer to this problem so hopefully it has'nt been answered before apolgies if it has.
    I am trying to import a Garageband Song into Logic Express (7.1) it appears to import it to Logic but when finished it reads file corrupt not a Logic File.
    I followed the tutorial opened the GB song and followed the instructions on how to import but I cant import it to Logic without the above message coming up.
    Any ideas?
    I'm using a MacBook Pro with 10.4.9 on it.Logic is version 7.1 (Is there a known bug when importing?)
    Thank you if you can help.
    KB.

    Hi KB,
    Welcome to the forum!
    the answer is within your question;
    your machine needs the universal Logic express (7.2)
    and your GB's probably GB 3.
    That's the reason you can open the files.
    If you bought version 7 "new"(from the reseler)
    ask for version 7.2, as you can't buy crossgrade anymore.
    (until logic sells a new one)
    "You just bought diesel and your machine's not run on it"
    rule number 1: You should Allways look for system requirements and software versions compability!

  • Importing Logic 6 Projects Into Logic Pro 8

    So here's the deal. I have upgraded to Logic Pro 8 (previously using Logic 6) and I'm trying to load my old songs from logic 6 (from my old mac, G5 Power Mac) onto my new mac G5 Macbook in Logic 8 Pro. So I have transfered all the information from my old mac onto and external that I have connected to my new mac.
    Now that I want to load my old songs into the new program everything appears to be fine (for the most part) tracks are all there, my effects and automation is all there but it is messing up my midi maps (.exs files). I was hoping that EXS24 would just recognize them and automatically load them in but it isnt. The only way around this that I can think of would be to load all my samples back in the same way as before (same order, same file names, etc.) then save them as the same .exs file in the same location as they previously were. Which I wouldn't mind doing if I had a smaller amount of midi maps but i have a few hundred atleast most with between 15 and 50 individual samples. Not sure whether this has to do with the hardrive change and logic not recognizing the path that the project file is directing it to locate the files or whether its just upgrading the software thats causing the problem but there has got to be an easier way to achieve this. Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance

    I hope I get you right. I had the same situation and the only way was to find all 'sampler instruments' folders on my old machine and put them in exactly the same folders on new machine. Please, note ONLY 'Sampler Instruments' folders, not the samples themselves. Samples can be anywhere on any disk, 'Sampler Instruments' must be in apropriate folders so that old projects can find them. For my future changes I have a backup folder with all sampler instruments folders I found on my old iMac (and previously my G4) - there are 5 in my case... This way I still have 'Logic 6 series' in my applications folder, there is also a folder called something like 'Previous Logic Settings' inside my Library/Application support folder (that's from my Logic 7 I guess).
    So, in your case, it's probably only the Logic 6 Series folder and Sampler Instruments folder inside it.

  • Can't get old songs into iTunes library

    When I first started downloading iTunes it was going through my computer and putting my old songs into the library. Once it got done with the first 34 songs it quit putting any other songs into the library. Now I can't get any more of the songs into the library. How can I get the other songs into iTunes?

    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • I want to import my twitter contacts into my iPhone but DON'T want to import their twitter profile pics as many of them are jokes or inaccurate.

    I want to import my twitter contacts into my iPhone but DON'T want to import their twitter profile pics as many of them are jokes or inaccurate. Is there a way to do this?
    I don't want to use the import contacts button as it seems like it will automatically all of my carefully curated contacts photos.
    The facebook equivalent lets you choose if you want the photos or not. Why doesn't this?

    After adding song to library delete the originals. Then your folder is empty again waiting for more songs to add to library.
    Do this only if iTunes is set to copy songs to iTunes folder when adding.

  • 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.

  • I want to import one imovie project into another one.  In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.

    I want to import one imovie project into another one.  In other words, I have created a short sequence in iMovie 11 on one computer, and I want to import it into a project that I am working on, on another computer.  I copied the project files onto a hard drive, and then connected that drive to the Mac that my main project is on, but when I select "import" the files are faint gray -meaning I can't select them.  Help!  I want to transfer a sequence of shots from one iMovie 11 project on one computer, into another iMovie 11 project on another computer.

    Tell me it ain't so!
    I wish I could.  The research you've done is correct.
    Wether you copy and paste or rebuild the Project from the other computer, you're going to need to get your Evnets copied from the other computer.
    The Prjoject files only contain pointer back to the original media.

  • I have new music on the itunes but have not a clue how to put it on the iphone, it only seems to want to put the old songs on

    Are you manually managing your songs?
    In itunes - music do you see checkmarks next to your musis/songs.  IF so go find your new songs click on it and then sync your music again.

  • Problems importing 4000 approx songs into itunes

    I have recently purchased a new Apple Macbook. I am however experieicing importing all my songs into itunes. Approx 1,500 get imported successfully and then it just finishes with no explanation as to why its stopped.
    I have also a Imac computer and this imported all 4000 approx songs successfully.
    I am trying to import wirelessley.
    My songs are on a Time Capsule (2008 model)

    Same problem here. iTunes just won't import some of my mp3s and I can't figure out why. Most of my mp3s work respectively iTunes adds them but some of them won't - just nothing happens either through adding via the menu or drag&drop them. They just don't appear. Oh yeah and the mentioned mp3s work perfectly in winamp...

  • Importing A-Dat tapes into Logic

    I have lots of 8 –track Adat tapes of recording sessions that I’ve done for the last 10 years or so. The recording session were for various Jazz projects. I have rough mixes from those sessions that I’ve been able to listen to. But, I don’t have a A-Dat player. So the original A-Dat tapes have gone un-used for some time.
    The thought occurred to me that maybe I can import the a-Dat tapes into Logic and mix and master them on my own. The thing is that I’m not totally sure of the “best” way to go about it.
    At the moment, I am using a small Firebox interface. I suppose that I would need to get a larger 8track interface like maybe a Firepod? I would also need to buy a A-Dat machine. I’ve seen these on E-Bay for a couple of hundred. I would imagine that I would take each of the 8 A-Dat track to a separate input on the Firepod, create 8 new audio tracks in Logic, press record in Logic and press play on the A-Dat?
    Is that it? Or is there a proper way to do this that I don’t know about?
    Thanks,
    Morris

    Hi,
    Yes you can definitely import your ADAT tapes into Logic.
    Here's how to solve the issue:
    1.You should buy an ADAT tape machine,make SURE you get the right one,as the newer one recorded at 20bit,and the older(blackface)only did 16bit.This part is crucial.I would probably recommend you get as newer an ADAT machine as possible,and look for low head hours too.
    2.Buy an audio interface that supports the ADAT lightpipe format.Usually this can be from a cheap box to an expensive one.Just make SURE it does support the ADAT standard.
    3.Buy 2 ADAT optical lightpipe cables long enought to connect the ADAT machine to your audio interface.You WILL need both cables to ensure correct digital audio synchronization.
    4.You will need another interface,such as a Unitor8mkii or a Motu MTP/av USB model,in order to slave Logic to you ADAT machine via MMC protocol.Please refer to chapter 19 Synchronization page 605/619 of the Logic Pro reference manual to learn how to sync Logic to the ADAT.
    5.Yes,you would be able to record ALL 8 ADAT channels at once,in one "pass".
    Just make SURE you read the manual in step 4 thoroughly and test your setup BEFORE recording,to ensure you are doing it correctly.
    Cheers
