78 Chapter 1 Using Logic
The Channel Strip settings of GarageBand translate 1:1 into Logic—with the nice
exception that you can now access the individual plug-ins that are inserted into a
GarageBand channel strip. The GarageBand Channel Strip setting files are visible in
Logic’s Channel Strip menu in a subfolder called GarageBand. Logic’s Channel Strip
menu is accessible via a long click on the word Inserts on each channel strip.
GarageBand’s two bus effects (Reverb and Echo) are also translated when opened in
Logic. They are replaced by the Platinum Verb and Tape Delay on Busses 1 and 2.
Note: GarageBand projects will only open in Logic Express 7 and Logic Pro 7—not in
older Logic versions. It is not possible to open Logic songs in GarageBand.
More information about GarageBand file support in Logic can be found in the
“Introduction to Logic for GarageBand Users” tutorial.
ReCycle Import
ReCycle is the name of a software application by manufacturer Propellerheads, which
mainly serves as an editing and production tool for loops (repeatedly looped audio
samples). ReCycle uses specific file formats that can be imported by Logic.
Recognized ReCycle File Formats
Logic can import the following file formats:
Old ReCycle File
• File Suffix: .rcy
• Abbreviation: RCSO
Old ReCycle export file
• File Suffix: .rex
• Abbreviation: REX
ReCycle 2.0 file
• File Suffix: .rx2
• Abbreviation: REX2
Importing ReCycle files into the Arrange Window
To import a ReCycle file to an audio track use the same options as for normal audio
files:
• Select Audio > Import Audio File and select a ReCycle file instead of a regular audio
file, or
• Command-Shift-click on an audio track and select a ReCycle file, or
• Drag a ReCycle file from the Macintosh Finder onto an audio track.
