Logic Express File Handling, why all these song files in my menu? Options

[Hugo Cole]

Hi folks

I'm new to Logic, using it on an imac G5 with Presonus Firebox. Just wondering why it is that every time I open a Garageband project with Logic a new folder is created with a new Logic File of the same song (i.e. I now have a folder with a song X (Garageband) and X1, X2, X3, etc as Logic Files. On top of this, one such song seems to have a problem with the sync between a real instrument and the software instruments in that my acoustic guitar part plays ahead of the other tracks when I open one of these Logic files. This problem doesn't seem to affect the original Garageband file.

I thought I could fix the problem by switching off Auto Backup in Global Preferences but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for any help.

That is normal, everytime you open a GB song in Logic it will create a Logic session folder that will contain all audio, effects settings, and automation.

They should sync up, if not you can use your ears and eyes to manually shift the track on the time line.
