To open a recent project<br />

µ Choose the project name directly from the File > Open Recent menu.<br />

This bypasses the Open dialog. You can clear all items in the Open Recent menu by<br />

choosing Clear Menu.<br />

Tip: If you set the Startup Action in the <strong>Pro</strong>ject Handling preferences to the Open Most<br />

Recent <strong>Pro</strong>ject option, <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> loads your last project automatically on startup. See<br />

Opening and Creating <strong>Pro</strong>jects Automatically.<br />

Opening <strong>Pro</strong>jects Using Drag and Drop<br />

<strong>Pro</strong>jects and Standard MIDI files can be opened by dragging them from the Finder into<br />

the Arrange area. The mouse pointer position—when the mouse button is<br />

released—determines the placement of the imported file.<br />

This includes the position (rounded to the nearest bar) and destination of the first track.<br />

For more information about Standard MIDI files, see Working with Standard MIDI Files.<br />

You can also open a <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> project or MIDI file by dragging it onto the <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> icon<br />

in the Dock.<br />

Opening <strong>Pro</strong>jects from Earlier <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> Versions<br />

You can open <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> 5, <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> 6, <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> 7, and <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> 8 projects in <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> 9.<br />

When loading a project created in an earlier version of <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong>, the format is converted<br />

to the version 9 format.<br />

You may find some changes to your channel strip output routing when you open a project<br />

that was created in an earlier version of <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong>. For full details about channel strip<br />

output routing, see Defining a Channel Strip’s Stereo Output.<br />

Important: <strong>Pro</strong>jects saved in <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> 9 are not backward-compatible with earlier <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong><br />

versions.<br />

Switching Between Multiple <strong>Pro</strong>jects<br />

You can open several projects simultaneously, allowing you to copy or move data between<br />

them, or to compare different versions of one project.<br />

To switch between projects<br />

µ Choose the project name at the bottom of the Window menu—the active project is<br />

marked with a tick.<br />
