    Hi there,

     

    I'm sorry but I don't think I fully understand you... can you explain again?

     

    I guess your question has something to do with 24bit recording/editing in Logic? You can find a markbox for that in Logic's preferences (on the audio tab if I'm not mistaken).

    Not sure I understand your question.  If you download your HDTracks in ALAC format (which stands for Apple Lossless) they will play fine in iTunes.

     

    If you want to transfer your HDTracks to an iPod/iPhone though, you will need to downsample your files to 48 Khz.  The setting 24 bit / 48 Khz seems to be the maximum compatible with iPod/iPhone.

     

    I did this with Bigasoft Audio Converter, which I just downloaded from the OS X app store.  You may also use XLD, which can be found in sourceforge.net, but I haven't tried it.
