Importing Logic Pro files?

My friend emailed me a Logic Pro file and when I try to open it up I see this message, " Instrument "Port 1" sends to a MIDI port named "FireWire Audiophile" of MIDI interface "FireWire Audiophile" which no longer exists. Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument's port setting." What am I to do next?

.....Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instrument's port setting ,.... as it says.
meaning that you have to select the port where you have your midi interface connected.
in case you are using the same inteface make sure the power is on.

How can I move ALL Logic Pro Files (except for the app itself) to an external?

Hi,
So I'm looking to move all my Logic content to my external hard drive and still be able to use the program effectively and efficiently.
I have about 5 years worth of content (adding up to over 100 GB of data in audio/instrument/project files) and I think it's time to find an alternative to suffocating my internal hard drive.
I'm looking for the easiest way to move all my content to my external and delete it from my internal (without altering the location of the app itself).
I understand "managing project assets", but this method requires me to open EVERY project one by one and change the location settings. I'm basically trying to find a way to move every project and its appropriate audio files to my external so that I can open them from there without having to go through each project one by one... I tried just copying and pasting the entire "Logic" folder onto the external and then deleted it from my internal, but when I attempted to open a project from my external's copied file, none of the content was found because the original locations of the internal were still embedded in the project. Also, none of the software instruments could be found because they, too, were originally located on the internal drive. Luckily I backed up my hard drive beforehand, so a simple restore brought me back to sanity.
I understand managing the project assets, but is going one project by one project at a time really the only way? There's gotta be another way :/
Thanks for any and all help.
P.S. I'm still on the Logic Pro 9 train, but that shouldn't matter too much. (hopefully)
Specs:
Mac Book Pro 13"
OS X Version 10.9.5
4 GB RAM (lame)
2.66 GHz Intel Core
54.2 GB Free hard drive space (super lame)
App: Logic Pro 9

Opening a Logic Pro file in Logic Express

Hi my Nephew is thinking of buying Logic Express (He can't afford Logic Pro) so we can collaborate together on some toonz. Now if I send him a song I have created in Logic Pro will it be OK for him to open in Logic Express to work on that song?
What will have happened to all the parts that I have created on the instruments in Logic Pro which are not available in Logic Express? would it just be MIDI notes/ data? and vice versa.
Many Thanks

Hi there...
When i'm in the studio I work with LP7, but on the road (and its more often then not) I use LE7. This 12" powerbook 1.5gz w/ 1.25mb 80hd has the FULL LP7 install and the FULL LE7 install, as well as lots of Garageband loops, and most free, AUs.
In Express (with a LP7 install, on the same machine) the ONE thing that is poor, is opening a LP7 project that leverages PLUGS for LP7. But that's ok as Sculpture and all those other goodies are too cpu hungry for a single G4 (IMHO).
So you will not get those working, BUT, with a real LP7 install the EXSp24 can OPEN the instruments from the much much larger library of material inside LE7. It's kind of like Logic Express-PRO...sounds strange i know.
Oh, and don't forget that LE7 need to really be the 7.1.1 version as that one adds the HybredMorph inst from GB. Keep your bus counts down and no auxs in the LP7 sessions if you KNOW a LE7 users will pop them open
YMMV... but Good luck.

Where to find Logic Pro 9 serial number?

I've just migrated my Logic Pro 9.1.8 to a new Mac because my old computer crashed. They are asking for a serial number, but I don't have the install disks anymore. Is there someplace in the software itself that I can find the serial number?

Please see the answers given in your other thread

Where does Final Cut Pro X save files to?

I stupidly downloaded a cracked vesion of final cut a couple of years ago and this week have been working a loong time on a video, but since i installed Yosemite the cracked final cut is no longer compatable with it - so I cant open FC at all. I need to get hold of the video i was working on but I didnt export it or anything. Is there ANY way FC stores projects that you can get hold of without opening the programme? It's the 10.0 version just incase that changes things

I understand that. As I said - 'stupidly'.

Adobe Illustrator CS6 (Windows 7 64 Pro) File Save Anomaly - video link included - HELP?!

When I save a Illustrator file, all my toolbars blink, flash, and turn 'black'.... and the files take an unusual amount of time to save. I have inlcuded a video link so you can see exactly what it is doing...
Wondering what is causing this, and how I can fix it.
The file shown in the link is 64 mb.... and has about 4-5 Photoshop placed images.
I have Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4 installed.... someone said that might be an issue???
I believe all my system fonts are intact..... at least Fusion shows them as 'protected from deletion.'
Illustrator crashed a lot too and I have no choice but to 'Close the Program.'
Any ideas?
System has a Intel i7 920 processor, 12 gb ram, dedicated GeForce GTX 660 video card, and speedy hard drives..... what the heck is causing the chaos?
Thanks.
Here's the link.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENpTpn6so5E
PLEASE SELECT 'HD' IN THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF MY ILLUSTRATOR PROBLEM.....

Todd,
I believe the message,
This file has been moderated outside Illustrator. Do you wish to continue?
may hold the key.
This old but time extended thread has a discussion about possible reason without any conclusion, but font management (including Suitcase) and working on a network both seem to be ruled out:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1272708
Does it also occur when all other applications (including browsers) are closed, so nothing can interfere or disturb and confuse Illy?
I believe the toolbar strangenesses may simply be owing to the effect of Illy struggling to save with heavy use of RAM.
I wonder whether one of our forum staff friends may contribute an explanation, and maybe even a cure (when they return (it is Saturday afternoon over there, and Sunday morning with them)).

Where is the Logic Pro 7.2.2 update?

I noticed that the test for the new mac pro computer used 7.2.2 and wanted to know if this has been released?

Logic express & pro file diffrences

im sure that its possible to open LE files into LP but is it also possible backwards? (open logic pro files in logic express)?

Yes, it should be possible.
But be warned that Logic might not find all the plugins needed, so you'll have to replace them with substitutes of lower quality. Example Space Designer -> Platinum Verb. Or EVB3 -> EVB.

Basic Logic Pro Questions. I Am New To It

Running OS 10.7.4
Hello....I am new to Logic Pro, graduating up from GB. I have few simple questions that I will ask on my next One to One, but I thought someone in Logic Pro Land can help for now. Just be patient I am trying to understand concepts
1. My One to One instructor here in NYC, down in the SoHo Store ( the best), helped me create a templete track, so I never have to listen to clicks or a metronome again ( I do VOs)....
2. I have done some recordings on that template I saved it as COMPING, as that's what I want to learn at my next one to one.... That track is my Logic Pro file in music.
3. Based on that, all I want to do now is duplicate the template track. Is there a way to do that?
My own logic tells me...well if the track is saved under COMPING, all you got to do is launch Logic Pro.... the last track will come up (COMPING)..... so just delete the contents ( since it's saved) record what you want to record, and save it under a different name...for the sake of simplicity, let's say I want to call it VO Track Number 2.....that track will appear in my folder under VO Track Number 2.....Is this correct?
4. Barring that, is there another way of just duplcating the template track without having to name it something all the time, or perhaps name different duplicate tracks, Track 2, 3, 4, etc.?
Recording questions
I recorded take one of a beer commercial. When I stoped the recording the head was right at the end where I stopped...when I went to record take 2, instead of just contuning, it back tracked a bit so the last few words on take 1 were recorded over.
1. WHY?
2. How do I prevent that from happening?
In GB, the recording just picked up where I left off, never back tracked...
Anyanswers, greatly appreciated...

Next time, make a copy of your template before you record anything, in fact, save it as a template so a pristine copy will always be available under the "Templates" menu item. Then start the first project as VO-1 then VO-2...etc. Never start a project and save it the same name as your template.
Now you have to go in and remove the files from the arrange and Audio Bin or else they will stay associated with the project.
As for the recording, the last few words were not recorded over, they were just covered up.
The back tracking is due to the one bar count-in or you have some "preroll" set. Does it backtrack 1 bar?
I think the adjustment is under "Settings/Recording".
I'll let others jump in and fill in the holes.

Can't install Logic Pro X on second computer

I purchased Logic Pro X and installed it from the App Store onto my Mac Book Pro Retina and my Mac Pro 4,1. No issues. I received the update notice for 10.0.1 on my Mac Book this morning, so I popped over to my desktop Mac Pro to do the update as well and the App Store is telling me I didn't buy Logic Pro X fromthe App Store and wants to charge me again.
I've double checked that I've logged in with the proper store credentials on both machines, but the update cannot be performed on the Mac Pro.
Ideas?

George,
On your iMac.. go to the Mac App Store App, mnaking sure you are signed in using the same Apple ID you used to purchase LPX on your MBP and select the Purchased tab.
Now look for Logic Pro X in the list that appears
Now look to the left hand side of where it says Logic Pro X.
It should now say Install... so you click on that button and LPX will download and Install.
if it says Installed.. instead of Install... then..
Somehow either you have copied across either LPX from your MBP to your iMac.. manually.. or you have copied the receipts over at some point. Did you try to simply copy LPX across to save downloading it again?
or..
Did you previously install an "illegal' copy on your iMac to test?
or...
Did you use Migration or even TM at any point to transfer Data from your MBP to your iMac after you bought LPX?
if you did any of the above you need to uninstall and clean out whatever you did as it is interfering with how the Mac App Store App idenifies that you have or have no got LPX already installed.
Or..
if you are sure you didn't doing anything like that... something has got messed up and you will probably need to contact Apple directly and have them help you reset your Account..

Can logic pro 8 projects be read on logic express 8?

I've posted this on the logic pro forum but thought should post it here too:
So a few weeks ago I went to teach a short one day course in Logic Express 8.... except I've only used Logic Pro 8.....mmmm
Anyway, with all my projects carefully prepared (without space designers or any non- Express 8 plug-ins) I copied my workshop projects onto the students computers only to find that the .logic file was missing. Eek! The iMacs we were using had Logic express 8 (not pro) on them but for some reason the .logic file was now replaced by a folder - which we figured out was actually the opened package of the logic pro file:
The folder was always called Lgdoc containing two files: display state & document data
I've managed to replicate this behaviour on my powerbook which has not got logic 8 installed on it.
Has anyone else come across this? Has anyone opened a logic pro 8 project in Logic express 8 successfully?
Is there a way to re-pack a file whose contents are being shown?
Thanks
Rounik

Ok thanks, so I shouldn't have any problem I guess finish the project with logic9. Do u know by any chance if I can have both 8 and 9 running on my Mac?

How can I upgrade the solo version of Logic Pro 9 to Logic Studio?

I just would like to know how and where to upgrade logic pro to logic studio

First of all, Erik is correct.. Logic Studio has been discontinued.. However, there are a few copies left around I am sure... to purchase if you really wanted to...
But.....
Unless you really want Waveburner and Soundtrack Pro 3..(Neither of which have been updated for at least a couple of years now..) there is little point in buying Logic Studio 2... as it will cost you $499... and you can buy Compressor and Mainstage (the other two parts of Logic Studio) for much less than that on the App Store.... and the additional content (that actually took up most of the DVDs in the boxed set) can be downloaded for free within Logic Pro itself.
I think a newer version is soon to be announce.
Not of Logic Studio there won't be.. I believe boxed sets of Logic are long dead and gone... and won't be seen again... It's all App Store products from now on...
There may well be a newer version of Logic Pro on the way.. but no one knows when.... until Apple announce it.

Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit. Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
"Error reading/writing file
“com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem. If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done? I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created. I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done. Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything? I'm using Logic Pro 8.
Thank you

You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

Where do my logic pro files save to?
