Musical collaboration

mgranger · Post by **mgranger** » Wed Nov 05, 2003 5:23 am

This is a Logic Audio (PC 5.5) Problem really!

I am trying to collaborate with a friend musically, and I was
wondering if there was any easy way to export an entire arrangement
(including Audio, EXS24 Instruments Etc.) to a new Dir on my PC. I
then want to .Zip this and send it to said friend.

The hard part seems to be consollidating all the audio and EXS24
stuff!

Any help at all would be grand.

Cheers guys/gals

what you'll need is a folder which contains:
songname.LSO
wave files
folder with songname.bak

next the easiest way would be to open up "sampler instruments" (found under ..../emagic/logi5/), copy, paste into new folder, zip, burn, open friends' "sample instruments" folder, paste.

jee i hope that made sense..

The problem is that with the EXS24, I have dozens of sample CD's Installed on my harddrive for quick and easy access.

How do I just export the instuments that are used within the song? It all starts to get very messy! :9

Any more help would be good

There is a copy function in the EXS instrument editor where you can copy all used samples to a folder you specify.

For each EXS instrument you are using:
1. Open an EXS instrument and press "Edit"
2. On the tool bar, Instrument/Copy Audiofiles
3. Choose the folder you want them to go to.

The samples will be copied to a folder named after the instrument you are using.

render the esx tracks to wav first.

We want to keep the EXS as an instrument for maximum flexibility.

You will keep your EXS instrument. Try it, it is exactly what you are asking for.

Once you use the Instrument editor to copy the audio files for each instrument into the project folder as Paul suggested, now Save As for that (and each) instrument into the same project folder (or subfolder). Now finally save your logic song (Save As again) into the same folder. WHen you reload the song from a new location it will prompt for file locations, just let it search (and if copying off cd MAKE SURE you REMOVE the cd from teh drive first--it will find those as well!)
