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.

Just to add to the above - Logic imports Wave, AIFF or Sound Designer files, so your .wav files should be able to be dragged straight onto a Logic audio track without any problem. If there is a problem it can only mean that your audio file isn't in one of the above formats.

Oh, yes, or there are permissions on the file as noeq said above.

Import your files to Waveburner and it will convert them for you.
