There are three ways how to create a Project Song:
1) Create a new Project Song from a Template:
• Use the “
File > New”
command to open up the “New” Dialog Box
• Check the “
Create project folder”
box which opens up the lower portion of the window
• Name: This will be the name of the folder (Project Folder) Logic creates in the
“Location” directory below and it will also be the name of the Project Song which will be
stored inside the Project Folder
• Location: the directory path where Logic creates the Project Folder. You can type in the
path if you know it. However you can’t enter a directory that doesn’t exist. It is easier to
use the “Set” button if you want to create a new folder
• Set: opens up a file selector box to change the Location
• Media Files Instructions
The checkboxes are the actual instructions for the new Project Song regarding the
handling of media files and they are identical to the “
File > Project > Settings
” menu
which you can open later if you want to change the instructions
• OK this will create the new Project Song based on the settings above.
2) Save any open Song (Regular Song, Template Song, or even a Project Song as Project
When you select the command “
File > Save as Project…”
a file
selector box will open with additional options for setting up the
Project.
• Save As: This will be name of the Project Folder AND the
Project Song (inside that folder)
• Media Files handling: with each popup menu you select
how the Project Song should act on specific media types
during the save procedure
o Leave the media files
o Copy the media files
o Move the media files from their original location
• Song File
• Audio Files: including Apple Loops
• Sampler instruments and samples:
• Ultrabeat samples
• Impulse responses for Space Designer
• Movie files
• Audio files not used in Arrange
• Freeze files:
• Delete empty folder after moving
• Create folders for audio file groups created in the Audio
indow
• Copy all / Movie all: this switches all popup selectors
above at once
The selections affect all the referenced files of the current song,
which you want to save as a Project.
The rules, which determine what media files get copied/moved into the project folder, apply only for “Save s Project…” command and do NOT
determine the instructions of the Project Song later. You can open the “
File > Project > Settings”
menu to set the instruction for the Project Song
3) Consolidate a Regular Song
Although you would use the “Save as Project”
command to convert a Regular Song into a Project
Song, technically you could use also the
“Consolidate” command from the “
File > Project”
menu. This is the only command available in the
menu.
The Consolidate command is used for a Project
Song to “organize” all your used media files in your
Project Folder but if you use the command on a
Regular Song it will convert the song to a Project
Song. You can’t choose a new Project Folder
location; the current parent directory becomes the
Project Folder.
