Opening GB3 files in GB4
I have been using GarageBand 3 on my old computer (PowerBook G4 with OS 10.4).
My files contain mostly recorded instruments (no samples) with some MIDI tracks.
I just got a new computer (iMac) with MacOS 10.5 and GarageBand 4.
I am unable to open my GB3 files in GB4 without getting errors.
If i try to open the files with my new computer, GB4 gives an error saying that the GB3 files are in an unknown format. It then proceeds to open the files and gives further errors saying that a certain number (different depending on the file) of "invalid region(s) changed". Once i clear these errors, either GB4 crashes, or it opens up the main window and then gives me errors stating that certain audio regions are in 8-bit format and can not be played back.
I have not seen any other problems on line with GB4 not being able to read GB3 files. Was there some setting in my GB3 that was not correct. I can not find anything in GB3 that specifies the quality of certain audio tracks. However, since all tracks were recorded in the same manner, and i never changed any of the settings, they should all be the same, but GB4 is only complaining about certain ones.
Any suggestions.
I am currently unable to load any of my GB3 files into GB4 and use them.
This is very distressing since i will be losing over a year's worth of work if i have to rerecord all of my files to get them onto my new computer.
