Automation/macros/applescript

Hello all

I hope you can help. We're working on a project which involves making personalised CDs for kids. We fitted all the names in the songs in Protools, then, because PT doesn't have offline bouncing, we consolidated the vocal tracks to WAV and bounced the backing tracks to WAV, then put the files on my Mac so I can bounce them offline to MP3 on Logic 6 (not pro). Sounds a bit Heath Robinson, but we're trying to make this as fast as poss as it's such a boring job!

What I'd like to know is if it's possible to automate this task. Perhaps set up the stereo backing track on Logic, then take one vox track and bounce to MP3, take a new vox track and bounce, etc.

Anything so I don't have to sit there doing this by hand! There are over 700 names with more to go!

I've read a bit about Applescript, could this be the answer?

Gonna Chuck In The Towel Unless (logic)

I think I bit off more than I can chew. Powerbook G4, Logic 6, M-Audio Quattro and atm running off an M1 as controller/basic sounds. I got Logic on good recommendation, and sick of PCs crashing and misbehaving, got the Mac too. So I'm learning both Mac and Logic, but I just keep going round in circles! I don't want to give in, I want to make music (vox, guitar, programmed stuff) and collaborate with other Logic users.

Help! Is there an idiot's guide to Logic that tells me how to record my own songs, not use the poxy demo songs (I tried anyway and it didn't work!). A friend took me through it but nothing seemed to stick!

Grateful for any help!
