Sharing Logic Pro -sessions

We are two people creating/composing music together (yes, it IS a collaborative effort, where both of us get at it at the same time! ). I'm living in Finland and my friend in France.

Sending big Logic sessions back and forth gets heavy, and WeTransfers limits are obvious. Logic sessions tend to grow extremely big as the time flows. There is always growing possibility to confuse and misunderstand each other's thoughts. And if you both don't have exactly the same plug-ins, it's getting even more complicated and confusing.

Is there any possibility to work ( simultaneously ) on the same session placed on some server somewhere? Or after making changes into a session in your computer, send these changes to server and import them to other's session? What about the plug-ins, could it be possible to "share" them and use them in that "remote"-session?

Mac mini, macOS 10.13

Logic sessions tend to grow extremely big as the time flows.

Saving the sessions as folder and not as package should solve the size-growing issue a little bit as you only need to send the project file and the new created audio files.

What about the plug-ins, could it be possible to "share" them and use them in that "remote"-session?

I've never done this. In theory, it might be possible to use icloud (drive) or other cloud-based services for that, but watch out, since opening and saving Logic sessions directly in the cloud might corrupt the audio files and other. So be careful and have a proper copy on a physical volume at your location that is not synced to any cloud service.

Thanks a lot, yoyoBen!

That's just what we needed. I never realized the real purpose of that alternative when saving sessions!

The other one: why do you think that might corrupt the audio files and other...? I'll still try it some day;-).

Just make sure you have a proper copy on a physical volume at your location that is not synced to any cloud service or the other way put the copy into the cloud.

A Logic file is not that standardized like a text-file. And maybe you have experienced some format glitches in a word document, that was sent through the internet...
