    Converting ProTools session for work/remix in Logic Studio?
    Hi. I have a great opportunity and am doing a spec remix for a large dance music label for the possibility of getting signed. All I have ever used is Logic and Ableton. I received the parts to remix and what they sent was a ProTools session folder. Within the folder is an Audio Files folder and Fade Files Folder as well as the .pts session file. There are 2 versions of each audio file, each with the extension .L or .R. I can drag these to Logic and listen to them but the .L files and the .R files SEEM to be identical and not in mono. I can see some read more energy on one side in the Logic channels, and also that files counterpart reads the same. Because of this, I am under the impression that I only need to work with one of each of these L/R audio file pairs.... Am I right? Before I moved forward I thought I would ask for some experienced advice on this matter. Is there any form of conversion I should do beforehand or any other recommendations anyone may have. Hoping someone is experienced with this... I just want to start off on the right foot. Thanks for your time & Happy Holidays!

    Hi Play, When you import the audio files which are L and R's... in Logic create two audio tracks and click-hold on the format button (circle/interlinked circle) at the very bottom of the channel strip. Set one track to L and one to R. Now place the L and R version of the audio file on the appropriate track. Hope that helps Rounik

    Thanks for your response. Actually, I posted in another forum as well, and found that Logic actually is pretty smart in regards to this. If you drag a .L file it actually looks for its counterpart .R in the same location and automatically puts them on one stereo channel as a stereo file. I tested this by removing the .R and sure enough when I added the .L file it warned me that the .R was not found. Pretty cool!
