VACATION NOTICE
I’ll be out of office Aug 5—28, 2023. I will reply to email, but will have no access to the legacy hardware needed for file conversion.
If, like me, you’re a long time user of the Logic® music production software, you’re likely to have some old Logic files in your archives that cannot be opened with recent versions of Logic Pro X. To access them, you’d need an older version of the software (which in turn requires legacy hardware), a license dongle that is still operational after 25 years…
In case you’re interested in my legacy Logic setup, I’ve written up my gear here.
It happens that I do have exactly that, and I will gladly convert your files for you for a small fee. Just email your files with a short note to pianojoe@me.com, and send 2 euros per file (minimum purchase is 10 euros) via PayPal to the email address mentioned above. Please do not call me on the phone, and do not whatsApp me.
Choose the file format you’d like to receive:
- Logic Pro X
Your Logic Pro X must be >= v10.6.3. - Logic Pro 7
Can be imported into older versions of Logic Pro X. - MIDI file
Most compatible, but loses arrange information. - Music XML
Best for sheet music that goes to scoring software.
Small caveat: If your file was created on an Atari computer with a Logic version older than v2.5 (file extension: .LOG), I can open these, and export them as a MIDI file. But I cannot make them into Logic Pro X files. .SON and .LSO files, however, pose no problem.
.SON files need to be converted to .LSO first, so if you need .logicx from .SON, this will count as two conversions, sorry.
Note: Every other email I get starts with ”Do you still do this?“ Answer: Yes!
(as of )
Please send the project file only—do not include audio files. Zipping the files will save a lot of space! Some email gateways choke on large attachments. If you have a lot of files, consider using Dropbox (or the likes of it). If you have a humongous amout of files, discounts are available:
| No. of files | Discounted Price | Price per item | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 files | 10.00 € | 2.00 € | |
| 50 files | 75.00 € | 1.50 € | 25.0 % |
| 250 files | 312.50 € | 1.25 € | 37.5 % |
| 500 files | 500.00 € | 1.00 € | 50.0 % |
You don’t have to send all files at once. I’ll keep a tab on your remaining conversion credits.
🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷🇮🇹 You can email me in English, German, French, or Italian. (In French, or Italian, my reply may make creative use of your language’s grammar.)
Physical media service
- Your files are on floppy disk, and you have no disk drive to access them?
- Your PC’s floppy drive can’t read legacy Atari or Macintosh disk formats?
I can help! I can read almost any format (given the media hasn’t decayed), even Mac 400k, even Atari 11-sector DD. Just send me the physical media by snail mail! (Don’t forget to include the proper customs declaration if shipping from outside the EU). My fee will be 4 € per disk.
