RockBottom Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 A handful of instruments, namely the orchestra organs, won't convert to Logic when loading a GarageBand song: Logic complains that the organ plug-in isn't available. This doesn't happen for organ presets based on the Emagic Vintage B3, only for the orchestra organs coming from the 4th jam pack: • orchestra baroque organ • orchestra bass organ • orchestra cathedral organ • orchestra deep organ • orchestra flute organ • orchestra fugue organ • orchestra mellow organ • orchestra noble organ • orchestra romantic organ • orchestra toccata organ • orchestra wedding organ Worth noticing is the fact that for the other organ presets, Logic does launch the EVB3 interface, since it doesn't have the genuine GB plug-in interface for them... I've looked into these particular preset files and found they referenced perfectly valid EXS24 instruments, yet they won't load merely because the plug-in is missing, and the problem is I have to mix a song that uses these instruments — I'm not sure whether EXS24 substitutes would sound exactly as intended! Am I the only one, or did you experience the missing organs too? Note: this problem isn't specific to the release 3 of GB, or the release 2.1 of Logic — I noticed it about 9 months ago, while still using GB 2 and Logic 7.1.1 but thought the most recent Logic release would supply the missing plug-in. Or maybe no one complained?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You might be the only one trying to use that instrument in a GarageBand session imported in Logic...? Anyway, the EXS version should sound exactly the same. Those GarageBand instruments are just simple GUIs on top of Logic's plug-ins and audio engine.

I knew this already, and I expect the default settings should sound the same, but the problem is the controls in the simplified GB interfaces really manipulate many parameters at once — macro-controls, sort of... The only way to find out what and how much is actually tweaked is (1) to load the plug-in, then (2) substitute it for the real thing — or paste the channel strip settings as-is onto it. Obviously, I can't do this unless I do load the infamous pipes organ plug-in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
