Best way to combine two projects in Logic Pro X

Hi all,

I'm looking for the best way to combine material from one project with another so that they can be mixed as one piece of music. For example: my current project starts at measure 1, but I have a separate project with music that I would like to use as a prelude in the current project, and then do a mix in which the prelude fades out while the other fades in. It seems to me I need to copy the current project and paste it to the end (at the appropriate measure) of the project which has the prelude . . . Is this the best way? or should I export one of the projects? or does Logic offer another method?

Thanks, JF

Did you try "File" -> "Import" -> "Logic-Projects..."?

I'd probably mix and bounce one project and import the bounce into an empty audio track in the other project. Aside from that, copying and pasting regions and settings is your only path. Maybe somebody else has an idea.

Hi bobmusik,

I just tried that as per your suggestion. I ran into a few problems with it, however. One track with software instr. didn't play. But there was another problem that seems really odd. And it raises another question. The two pieces that I want to combine are in the same project folder (I had forgotten that when I originally posted this question). They are named Chorale I and Chorale II. With Chorale I open, I tried to import Chorale II, but it copied Chorale I instead. Couldn't make it work.

Maybe being in the same project folder is the issue? I ended up exporting Chorale I as midi, then imported the midi file into Chorale II. Had no audio tracks so I didn't have to deal with any of that.

Thanks for the reply,

JF

A mix and bounce is probably what I’ll end up doing . . . Was hoping to avoid that.

Thanks for the reply,
