My mp3s are muted when dragged into logic 9 [SOLVED]

[enjoi91]

New to music production and logic 9.

 

anywho, here's the problem: I'm dragging mp3s and .wav into logic, and each time it shows up but there is no music. Checked to make sure the output is correct, unticked/reticked core audio, and nothing seems to help. How can i bring back the sound to the mp3s im dragging in? ALSO: there is a mysterious symbol in all audio I have tried using [check the photo I've attached]. Bet this is all a simple fix, thank you for your time.

Hello and welcome to Logic Pro Help, enjoi91!

 

Please take a minute to read our forum rules and add your Logic version and system info to your signature: Forum Rules - please READ THIS before posting (#5)

 

Judging by the color of the region in your pic, it looks like you added the file to a software instrument track. Those are for software instruments. Drag your audio files to audio tracks. The symbol means it is a stereo file (a single circle would be a mono file).

and.....

 

If you just drag the audio files into a blank area of the arrange window, instead of onto a track, Logic will automatically create the appropriate audio track for you....

Thank you both, this was so simple but your advice made a huge difference for me. haha
