I can't save a project template in Logic

Logic Pro X doesn't have that problem with the hidden user Library directory by creating a new central folder (Audio Music Apps) in the Music directory. IT is a Hard Link of the Logic folder in the Library directory. Now there is no need to go to the Library folder anymore.

The Templates and its subfolders are now stored in the "Project Templates" folder inside that new "Audio Music Apps" folder.

Here is a screenshot from my manual that shows the new Project Chooser and the Finder Location of the displayed Templates.

User templates appear to be disabled by defualt after Logic X installation until you enable them under File Menu / Preferences / Advanced Tools...

It is in this folder

/users/admin/music/audio Music Apps/Project Templates

My main folder on my Mac is admin. You may have your own folder so substitute that name for admin.

Hope that helps.

Put your templates in that folder.

I have managed to save a project before it seems that now it is not working. the other strange thing is the template folder only has one template inthere noe of the priginaln ones that you can access when you start using logic. They all work though whihc is dubly strange.

The Factory installation for files such as Templates etc is:

<Startup Disk>:Library:Application Support:Logic

When you save, the default is to go to the User library (as stated by kcstudio)

You'll have to look in your Home Folder!

Users

Home

Library (if this folder doesn't appear, it will after you point at the 'Go' menu while pressing 'alt')

Application Support

Logic

Project Templates

Have a nice day!

Hi,

I have the same issue and have tried everything. There was no Logic or Project Templates folders in the User/Application support folders so I generated them but the same problem exists. I can't save a template no matter where I try. Maybe these folders are not plain vanilla folders???

Thanks, After some major fiddling, not violin related, I can now save templates and open saved templates. Whew!

how did you do it????? I'm going to jump off a bridge I can not get templates to save..........

I had the same problem not being able to save template files and the information above was really helpful - thanks guys - BUT it didn't completely solve the issue in my case, because, it seems, I have two drives on my Mac. I offer my solution in the hope it might help others with a two-drive system (and reduce the amount of time spent lying down in a darkened room).

I run two drives in my Mac mini - the system drive (SSD) and a a bigger (1Tb) conventional hard drive where I store my iTunes files and folders and my Logic projects, as well as photographs videos etc.

My username 'Home' folder on the system drive has the usual Music folder but it is in fact an alias pointing to the actual Music folder on the HD. iTunes has no problem with this alias arrangement - I have used it for more than three years. But Logic X does have a problem. My solution was to make my username Music folder on the system drive a real folder (not an alias) and create the subfolders suggested above (music/audio Music Apps/Project Templates) and it worked - I can now save template files. I don't understand why Logic couldn't follow an alias - like iTunes can - but at least I found a solution. (iTunes is still operating through an alias which directs it to the HD).

Anyway I thought I'd share this - in case anyone else with a two drive setup is going nuts because saving templates doesn't work like it should.

Hey Edgar! Thanks! That was it, finally figured out where Logic Pro X was looking for the sub folders to store the templates.
