By cpiquetteApril 2, in Logic Pro. I added a screen shot to support my case I'm still not exactly sure what your situation is, but if there has been unintentional downsampling of audio files, I would open them in an audio editor like Audacity and see what can be done.
I am working with a student who has this same problem. We're all running Logic Pro X. She is temping a short film as an assignment and she used audio files she downloaded from iTunes. It works fine on her computer, and then when she puts it on a thumb drive and tries to put it on the main computer to show the class, we get an error message saying that the audio files are 8 bit and can't work in Logic Pro X.
We're both running apple logic pro x found 5 audio files in 8 bit format free, her's is a Macbook Pro and the other computer is an iMac. Both running OS X. Any help would be much appreciated! I was given a GarageBand project to mix, everything was ok for 2 days, and today I open the project and boom that happened I happened to use a external HD formatted in ExFat.
Can I get rid of that problem just by copying my project on a Mac Formatted drive? This is been a major issue for Mac users That may protect the audio file headers. Worth a shot. I had the 8 bit problem, too. A friend said the same thing. He wrote a software to restore the file header of the corrupeted files. In this case logic fills the header up with 0s which then at reopening is estimated as an 8 bit file.
The good news is that the audio still is ok, only the header needs to be recovered. My new Logic Pro Book is out! I had a an issue with a certain small file coming up as 8bit it was most certainly not when opening a Logic Project on another system. That's great to hear. Thanks for adding your experience to this thread, really useful for other users with the same issue.
I've never had the problem, until now. Ive gone on a trip to do some remote work, have a new MBP, and brought my external hard drive that all my audio projects are stored to. In a different country, and this bug came out. Also using a different audio interface. Just thought I'd put those details out, incase someone can see a pattern as to why this happens. Anyway, I'm going to follow jensenmann's link, seems it helps fix. Just one question, when I open the project, just before the arrange window comes up, I get a message that 3 files are corrupted and can't be recognized.
But then when the project fully opens, it says '1 file is corrupted'. But then when I try to move any file in the project, it is says logic has detected a corrupt file. Is there any warnings, or advice on how to proceed with the fix? And determining which files to fix, etc. You can post now and register later.

Do you use any of those? Haha, my question was logic pro x found 5 audio files in 8 bit format free cpiquette. Don't answer for him. Agh, you answered so quick after me I could have sworn I was talking to the original poster. Posted January 29, It really doesn't make any sense that these would be 8 bit audio files, does it? Late Mac Pro 2. Eriksimon Posted January 29, Why did the chicken cross the Mobius ring? Posted January 15, Hi, I'm having the same issue and it's quite annoying Posted January 16, Posted January 17, Eriksimon Posted January 17, Thanks, i'll try that.
But it seems to be a random issue. I've never experienced it until a week ago. Loungery Posted April 22, Posted April 22, Same problem here! Thinking about formatting the drive. It is driving me nuts. Logic Pro x - Mac Pro 2x 2. Logic does NOT like it when you use a Fat32 drive. I am using a AFP Mac formatted drive! My main Mac got hit by a lightning so I put the ssd drive into an older Mac Pro.
All worked fine. Now all that I record gets changed into 8bit or the Mac gets confused with the files. I just backed up all the data and reformatted the drive to see if things get better now.
But it is really a strange issue. Loungery Posted April 23, Posted April 23, You sure? Logic pro x found 5 audio files in 8 bit format free that all seemed to work great and very fast. Posted May 6, Great info, thanks! David Nahmani Posted May 6, Indeed, that's great news for those who've been bitten by this nasty issue. Thanks for logic pro x found 5 audio files in 8 bit format free Posted February 9, Oh wow.
I just stumbled upon this thread! The python, recovery tool worked a treat in restore the integrity of this file! Awesome thanks!
