Logic Express File Handling, why all these song files in my menu? Options

[Hugo Cole]

Hi folks

I'm new to Logic, using it on an imac G5 with Presonus Firebox. Just wondering why it is that every time I open a Garageband project with Logic a new folder is created with a new Logic File of the same song (i.e. I now have a folder with a song X (Garageband) and X1, X2, X3, etc as Logic Files. On top of this, one such song seems to have a problem with the sync between a real instrument and the software instruments in that my acoustic guitar part plays ahead of the other tracks when I open one of these Logic files. This problem doesn't seem to affect the original Garageband file.

I thought I could fix the problem by switching off Auto Backup in Global Preferences but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks for any help.
