Importing to Logic Express 8

[kelkinson]

I am running Logic Express 8 and have some songs in Garageband I want to import. I try importing them by opening the files from Logic, and my Garageband files seemed to be "greyed out" where Logic will not open them.

I just upgraded from Garageband 2 to 3, but I am wondering, do I need to go to Garageband 4 or the current release. I can't run Logic Express 9 because I don't have an Intel Mac (G5 just before that), so the best I can do is Logic Express 8.

Anyone know if this is workable/fixable - like what Garageband version do I need to work with Logic 8?

I believe you have to convert your G/B tracks to aiff or wav, not mp3 (too much signal loss), put the file or files on your desktop or a folder easily found and then import those files into express. There is some signal loss but you'd never miss what was lost.
