I've got this old song I'd like to upgrade, so I attempted to import it to Logic but it crashes before its finished. I tried opening it in an old version of GarageBand, but got an error saying it stopped working "while using MOTU Symphonic Instrument".
Now I think the problem is that I no longer have MSI on my computer, but I'd really prefer not to reinstall it just for one song (especially since it costs money), unless there's no other solution. Is there a way of fixing this somehow, or maybe someway of tricking Logic into ignoring that particular track?

You can try importing all the tracks except that one to a new project. You can do that from Logic's browser.
1. Create a new project.
2. Navigate to the old project in Logic's browser,
3. Click on the project and click Import on the bottom right.
4. It will list all tracks, busses, and effects in the browser and you can check and uncheck what you need.
5. Click add and it will add it to the new project.

Sorry. I misread your original post I though you had converted the file to Logic already. You can only do that with Logic files not Garageband files.tymime wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 12:14 amThe button only says "Open".apoclypse wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2020 2:22 pm You can try importing all the tracks except that one to a new project.

Yes ı know.
That is why I suggested to turn off Core Audio so Logic will not try to load a nonexistent plugin. It will not load any 3rd party plugin for that matter. Then you can delete the track that's supposed to have that plugin and save your project.

I see, that wasn't clear.
That did it, though, thanks. Funny though, I was kinda impatient to get started, so I referenced an old mixdown and recreated it by scratch last night. This new import did help me get some details I missed though.
