Import tracks easily from

other Logic projects

H

ow often have you been working on a Logic project

and needed a part you know would work great but is

buried somewhere in another project? The traditional

workaround of opening the other project on top of the current

one and copying and pasting the part can be cumbersome.

Thankfully, there’s an easier content import option within Logic’s

File Browser pane. Not merely limited to browsing for Apple

Loops, the browser also affords direct access to all your Logic

projects and the data they contain, including track content

(regionsandfolders),pluginsandsettings,sends(including

level,routing,anddestinationchannelstrips),Input/Output

assignments,automationandtracknotes.

Arrowing experience

Use your keyboard’s arrow keys to

navigate the pane quickly. Use the

Up/Down arrow keys to select lines,

then press the Right arrow to select

all checkboxes on the selected line,

or the Left arrow to deselect them.

Logic Pro’s content import option provides direct access to

all of your projects, including track content and plugins...

Two-way street

As well as the method described

here, the File Browser’s Track Import

view can be accessed by going to

File>Import>Logic Projects and using a

standard MacOS file dialogue window

to browse to the required project. Click

‘Import’ and its tracks show up in the

File Browser – the same result as when

the first method is used.
