Loading old (Pre-X) projects

Loading old (Pre-X) projects

Hi all,

I have songs saved in Logic 9 format - all the sampler instruments are saved in the project folder in a subfolder "Sampler Instruments" and the associated samples are saved in another subfolder "Samples" - basically, just as Logic 9 planned it....

When I try to load the project in X, I am prompted for a new file destination, as I understand X needs to create its own version.....that's fine by me....

But it refuses to load EXS patches and samples that have been legitimately saved, so when I hit "play" what I get is a cacophony of low sine waves....not good. Have tried to load the patches manually with no success.

Anybody want to help an old man out here?

TIA

Matthew

I haven't come across such an issue before...

When I loaded in older LP9 projects in the past, into LPX the EXS24 samples come across as expected.. so something else must be going on....

If you open a new project in LPX and then manually try and load a patch into EXS24..... from one of these project folders what happens? Do you see any error messages?

Failing that, you might want to try importing the various tracks from an LP9 project into a new LPX project using Selective Track Import (STI)

Note: This tutorial is for LP9 but STI works in much the same way in LPX...

I would suggest you import just one of your tracks from an LP9 project that use EXS24 and some samples.. into a brand new project... and again, see what happens..

When you create the new file is it in the same directory (excuse me, folder) as the Logic-9 project file? The path to the sampler instrument/samples is probably saved in the Logic-9 file.
