MrMizzleMT Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi All, I am looking to master the art of moving regions and/or folders containing regions between logic sessions. Any help, tips or insight that any folder moving gurus out there can throw my way would be much appreciated. Here is an overview of what I am working with... I'm currently producing 100 Interactive Radio Instruction programs. Each program is 40 minutes long, contains 6 different segments (Intro, Activity 1, Skit, Activity 2, Activity 3, Outro) and the finished programs end up with anywhere from 35 to 60 audio tracks (and the occasional midi track) with VO, music, SFX, etc. I now need to move some segments around. For example, the skits from 65-72 need to be moved one lesson forward (65 to 66, 66 to 67, etc.). Each of these skits might have 10-20 tracks. There are lots of little things like this here and there that need addressing and after evaluations, I am expecting more shuffling of segments between logic sessions. I have started to experiment with recording segments in their own logic session if we are not exactly sure which program they will end up in, not sure if this is smart yet. I would like to simply pack a folder and move it between projects. Here are my issues/constraints... -When I move a folder with 10-20 tracks form one project to another, I will solo a track and another track will also solo (I believe this has to do with objects/environment, and this is where I get quiet confused) -I don't want to mix and bounce the segments I want to move because we may need to make small changes later and I also want to give the entire project with all the tracks to my mix engineer once a program is complete. -Bouncing each track individually and moving one track at a time is tedious and can make the size of the project impractically large. Hopefully that makes sense, but I am happy to clarify if need be. If anyone has insight into this, I would very much appreciate any help or tips you can throw up here. Thanks!

David Nahmani Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 How do you move the folders? Have you tried using the File browser's import feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMizzleMT Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hi David, Thanks for the quick response. Sorry, I was not clear about this. I am not referring to moving folders in the finder, but rather packing folders in logic. Basically, I am trying to pack a folder with 10-20 audio tracks and drag it from one logic session to another session, similar to dragging one region between sessions. But actually, after writing this I realized I can select all the tracks I want to move in one session, create new tracks in the master session and drag them over. I have tried copy/paste and dragging packed folders, which gives me object issues, but I have not tried selecting all and dragging them over together to new tracks...And it worked. Thanks!

David Nahmani Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sorry, I was not clear about this. I am not referring to moving folders in the finder, but rather packing folders in logic. You were clear, and that's what I understood the first time. Rather than dragging, try the File browser's import feature: open the file browser in the destination Logic project, locate the source logic project, open it in the file browser, select the track containing your folder and import it.

MrMizzleMT Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Two words...Oh man that's awesome I had no idea! I have used the file browser in the past but was unaware that you can open an actual project and browse through assets. Awesome. Game Changer. Made my Friday. Thanks David!
