yohi64 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm trying to import a session from pro tool le7.+ into logic pro. Is there any reliable method I can use other than purchasing a Logic Pro-Converter. Right now I'm able to import individual PT audio files, and that would still be sufficient for my needs except that Logic plays them in slower tempo and lower pitch than in PT. But if I import a bounced track or a bounced mix, the tempo and pitch are correct. Help!!!??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 In Logic, make sure you select the correct sample rate in Settings > Audio. Then the files will play at the correct speed/pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohi64 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi David, That took care of the audio file tempo/pitch problem....now if only I can find a simple way to import the session, I'll be a real happy camper....from what I'm reading, though, it looks like I'll have to buy a Logic Pro-Converter.....

grobichaud Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 what is a logic pro converter and what can you do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbetseysatan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Logic-Pro Converter? Is this spam? Importing a PT session into Logic is easy-peasy. Consolidate all your tracks in PT and then just import them straight from the browser. Hmmm... R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohi64 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 The converter is a software/hardware?? device that appeared early this year....and is being sold by Sweetwater and Musician's Friend (among many other outlets) for around $700. I'm reluctant to spend that kinda money unless I have to. Supposedly, the converter makes transfer of sessions (as opposed to moving tracks, which can become problematic) between competing digital recording programs a piece of cake....or easy peasy as the other feller says...

prjkt Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 i think SSL have released a program that'll do a similiar thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohi64 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 That's the one I've been talking about....and trying to avoid buying....the full name is Solid State Logic Pro-Convert: "SSL Pro-Convert is a translation application designed to facilitate moving projects between DAW environments. Never before has it been so easy to move between your favorite DAWs! Record in Cubase then mix in Pro Tools, Pro-Convert already supports many of the most commonly used software formats and SSL is deeply committed to leveling the DAW playing field by updating, maintaining, and developing the application. A must-have for music, broadcast, and post production professionals world-wide, Pro-Convert enables and streamlines inter-DAW workflow."

oldbetseysatan Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Oh SSL Pro Convert... That's slightly different than Logic Pro Converter but I'm just being pedantic now. I heard/read about this last year but I think it's PC only? No Mac Support. At least not back then. It'll read Apple format file but only convert over to a Windows machine. They may have updated the software by now? But really, it's just so easy to transfer the WAVs between projects. You can't retain fader/pan/effects info but if you're taking your tracks somewhere to mix it's probably best to give the guy with the 'ears' (and the one who's making all the money!) the raw files anyway. Don't go spending silly money! R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohi64 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yeah, that's what I'm doing at present.....dumping the wav tracks one at a time from one system to the other, naming each track, then balancing them....and if I make a punch I either start the track from the beginning or I start tweaking on the grid...and all this is so I can work on tracks at home away from the studio....it's not impossible or even very difficult to do, but it is time-consuming....I've just been looking for an easier way to get it done without spending the $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbetseysatan Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yeah, despite everything else I've said, it is a pain in the *** if you want/need to keep jumping back and forth between the programs as much as that. Normally when I get to the mixing stage I'm only flying a few tracks back and forth so I grumble a little and just get on with it. If you're really doing it that much though, maybe consider a little PTLE set-up and buy DigiTranslator somewhere second-hand? And I mean really little/cheap, like the Micro or or an old MBox or the like just to get PT/Logic/DigiTranslator or the same machine Looks like your only route at the moment? Warning: From what I hear, OMF/PT is quite tempermental. Good luck anyway! R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yohi64 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks....a used mbox might be a decent compromise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
