It would be nice if Martin could add a chapter in the Logic 8 Tutorial showing us how to transfer complete projects from LOGIC 7 to LOGIC 8 including all settings/effects/audio/midi ect. How will these projects show up in LOGIC 8? Will all the tracts be created by LOGIC 8 automatically?.... and then show all the information/settings as it was in LOGIC 7? It does sound like any changes made to a project in LOGIC 8 that came from LOGIC 7 will not be able to be copied and transferred back to my friends computer running LOGIC 7...I believe the answer is... he will have to upgrade to 8 in order for us to transfer back and forth..am I right?

In my experience, all Logic 7 project open in Logic 8 without any problem. However, once the project is saved in Logic 8, you can't open it up in L7 anymore. So you're right : your friend will need to upgrade if he want to open your projects. But L8 is worth it!
