How To Open A Wav File In Logic Pro 7.2.1 And Then Remaster? Options

[thegrapeguy]

A fellow musician wants to see if I can improve audio tracks his band recorded in Cubase SX. He has a CD with the WAV files of each of 12 audio tracks. First question - Could someone tell me how to open his files and then import them into Logic Pro so that his tracks 1-12 correspond to my audio tracks 1-12 and be in sync?

Second question - assuming I can get his tracks going what are the key ways to boost volume or "master" his tracks so that the end result, a stereo mix, is loud vibrant and "radio ready"?

I'm familiar with the mastering plug ins on the output channels of Logic. I've used "Soft Maximizer" but it seems to be compression related. Are these "rooms", available on the output channels, the only way to increase volume and aliveness?

He's doing this because the studio he's at can't seem to make a mix that he's happy with. He says the mixes lack volume and vibrancy. Thanks in advance.

If the audio tracks were exported as one file per track, you can drag and drop the files onto the arrange page, or import from the audio window. Othewise the tracks would have to exported in OMF from SX.

You can use the limiter to raise volume without distortion., also Logic has a lot of preset channel strips for mastering, they will be located on your master channel.
