OMG, all I can say is that you helped me find my lost project that was for school and due very soon! Without this video, I would have had to start over. Thank You!
A real life saver!! For whatever reason suddenly there was no possibility to record...neither Midi nor Audio. But everything else worked fine. This workaround healed the wounds. Thanx for this, man!
Good looking Brodie , I don't usually comment but damn this video clearly is one of the most informative videos on RUclips. Kept it short and simple , u just saved my project.
THANK YOU!!! I've found that when I use any number or type of plug-ins that this can happen. You have helped myself and countless others recover weeks of work. THANK YOU!!!
Well, Mr MusicTechHelpGuy, you saved a favourite project of mine with this video! Solid information very clearly presented. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Once again, awesome and valuable content. I had this problem once and it took me some time to understand what happened. These kind of videos help a lot. Keep it going!
I haven't found a solution to a problem I'm having, hopefully you know what to do. When LOGIC opens pop up window appears for me to locate "MISSING FILES". I do locate them and click on them so LOGIC opens the project showing my audio files in it. But there are no waves forms neither sound, all my sound settings are perfect as I always had them in the past. Then I go to the AUDIO FILES folder of the project where I have the AUDIO files Logic is asking me to LOCATE every time I open the project, I find them, double click on them, and they don't even open on any music player software I have neither just tapping on the space bar to listen to the AUDIO file. As a test I go to a separate folder which has no connection with Logic, a folder where I simply have songs I like or downloaded and they play perfectly except for those songs or tracks I've dragged / used in a LOGIC project. For some reason seems like any MP3 or WAV file I've ever used or added to a LOGIC project has become a file that neither Logic or any software in my mac will recognize as a AUDIO file even though clearly shows on the Audio File is an existing file 38MB o 9MB or whatever it is. I know this because I tried to open other projects and the same thing happened. Even the bounced mp3 file from this specific project which I'm using in a video editing software will play perfectly with no issues. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO NOW!
This happened with me and I knew this was the only way around .. however in my experience recently if you try importing different video files in a project at different times .. it gives an error and all tracks start playing one another and everything is a mess .. horrible thing is that you can’t undo this .. so I tried this way because this was the only way to make it work .. amazing video and very useful for people who are stuck with errors ...
Thank you so much, I had a slightly different type of crash I think It was plugin related but after copying and pasting w transfer method still nothing. I used this method and now I'm back in business!!!!!!! Great strategy I'll use it for life!!! thank you sir!!"
I do this when I want to bring in a certain plug I’ve liked in another session. It’s also good for combining individual sessions into a master session which I prefer. I’d rather have the entire album in a single session - just like recording to tape worked.
when I select it (min1.28), I get "The format of this project is not compatible with this Logic Pro version." But I can't open it in any other way either :/
Hey MusicTechHelpGuy, I tried this method but none of the corrupted files in my folder are even showing up as an option :( This is about 5 years of work, any suggestions on how to get them back?
If your project is a big one. Just make sure to import in steps, not all of it in one go. I tried to import like 50+ tracks and then the new project ends up with bugs.
Thank you for this, which fixes the issue for many! When I follow these steps, however, the project is still "corrupted" when I try to import the tracks into the new project. So, I'm just stuck in the same situation, you could say. Anyone had this problem?
I was working on a project, and I opened the eq but I also closed out the project with the eq still open, now whenever I click on the project, it only opens the eq, I can't see the project but I can still press the space bar and hear the song start to play, please help
You've accidentally closed the main window. Just closing the window doesn't close the Logic project. You have to go up to File > Close Project for that. Just press Command 1 to show your main window again.
Mine wont even try to load the plugins when opening - it starts the sequence and immediately prompts me with "this file may be damaged" - proceeding to open with a blank canvas and visual glitches :/ Upon using this method it shows no tracks or plugins. Any advise is much appreciated!
And would you know how to import the tempo map from this same project? All markers, time signatures and tempo variations are not imported with this procedure... :-(
I tried to open a 3 year old project and almost every file is missing. The drums are all there but all the guitar tracks are gone and I don't know where they are.
It's possible that the guitar tracks were not saved in the Audio Files folder of the original project. You can try checking manually. Look at the names of the audio regions for the guitars, and then go into your audio files folder and see if there are any guitar audio files in there named similarly. If not, the guitars were likely not included in the project files somehow. If so, you may need to do some manually dragging and dropping.
Bro...how r u? So i have a problem here, i save project and reoopen...the project opened but all of my tracks are in place but off tempo, and create a freeze folder wich empty, so no freeze files in the logic or project folders....and im able to edit and moove files and tracks....i hooe your solution work on my issue...whats your ideia?
Thank you for such awesome videos! I recently upgraded to the 2020 Mac Mini (Big Sur.) I am having glitches every time during playback. The processing threads and Drive I/O are not the issue. I tried multiple variables of buffer size and low latency mode. Nothing is working. I thought the session was corrupted, but when I went to rebuild it in a new project, same thing. Very frustrating --Any advice?
You literally just saved my life on a project I'd been spending several hours on!! Thanks for being way better than any support thread!

Hell ya thanks homie
I do this when I want to bring in a certain plug I’ve liked in another session. It’s also good for combining individual sessions into a master session which I prefer. I’d rather have the entire album in a single session - just like recording to tape worked.
So when you master you put all the songs into one project and then master?
Litterally saved my life. Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Thank you from Italy! bless you
This tip is highly valuable , thank you!
Awesome!!! Thanks for this great video
THANK YOU!!!! I thought everything was lost, this worked!! BTW, Drummer tracks/regions come back as midi.
This is great! Thank you!
when I select it (min1.28), I get "The format of this project is not compatible with this Logic Pro version."
But I can't open it in any other way either :/
THANK YOUUUUUU FOR THIS BLESSING!!!! I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE MY SHIT!
What if it opens and all the tracks are there, but no sound plays? I can see the volume meters moving in some projects but nothings playing.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This happened today! I needed this!
Thank you so much for making this video
Thanks friend, you really saved me. What a great video. Really appreciate it.
Hey MusicTechHelpGuy, I tried this method but none of the corrupted files in my folder are even showing up as an option :( This is about 5 years of work, any suggestions on how to get them back?

Do you mean, instead of “add all”, add one at a time?
Thanks a lot!! You helping me a lot. Loves from india

Have a corrupted autosave I want to rebuild, how do I make it read the autosave?
is there a way to see it is corrupted before suffering the problem?
Thank you!
You fucking saved me......this solution resolves the freeze files issue....tkz so.fucking much
What happens when it freezes when you try to add these tracks to the new project?
When I double-click on the project within Logic, Logic crashes. 🤷♂️
Same!
Same! Any solution?
@@victorfideliss The next update fixed it for me.
@@LongshanMusic thanks man 😁

Thanx a lot 😍
Even clicking on the previously corrupted project on all files is now crashing logic for me. Any ideas?
What happens if it doesnt add when you have everything highlighted
Hey this almost helped but once I load everything back into the new project logic pro x crashes and refuses to open. Any suggestions?
Thanks 😊
My clients project isnt showing in the browser. I have tried changing the location of it. Any suggestions?
I did it but the sounds were all different and literally none of the same sounds are there

Mine does not show anything. Ot keeps saying that it's corrupted. Please help
Thanks man. that helped a lot :))))
It was amazing

I did this but once I double clicked it says rhe format is not compatible with this Logic Pro C Version
Could you use this to also open older projects that aren like logic 7 or earlier?
I've done it with Ver 7 and 8 projects without any problems. Not sure about before ver 7?
@@MusicTechHelpGuy awesome thank you for reply. Will attempt with older projects. Great channel!
Thank you so much. Have been dealing with this issue for a while and tried so many different things, and now I'm back on track with my project.
