Will Logic 9 files open in Logic 8???

My writing partner is picking up Logic 9 for x-mas for his studio. I am running Logic 8.0.2 in my studio and don't plan on upgrading just yet. Things have been very stable(touch wood).

 

Will I be able to work with his Logic 9 files in Logic 8? I realize I can't use new feature items like flex time but what about the basic files?

 

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, no. Any options include exporting and importing tracks. You miss the plugin settings and so forth. Any flex:ed material will of course not be used/noticed by Logic 8.

Yeah, you should be fine. It's not recommended - and you'll get an alert when opening the Logic 9 session in Logic 8, but aside from the new Logic 9 features, it should work ok.

Interesting. I need to test this out myself. Sorry about that. So used to not being backwards compatible.

Thanks guys.

 

I have been concerned about upgrading because my Logic 8/Tiger setup is so solid.

 

The white noise blasts and low memory issues are my main concerns. Not getting either in Logic 8. I had the white noise blast once in 2 years time.
