adding instruments Logic Pro 9

Hello! I've downloaded the most recent version of Logic Pro (9.8) However, it doesn't seem to have the same instruments as my school's. In my version I can't see in the Orchestral package clarinet, oboe, cello for example. There's more stuff in the World package as well at my college...How do I add these? Thanks for your help

It sounds like you need to download the Additional content.... as you probably haven't done so.


Go to Logic Pro's menu bar and click on Logic Pro/Download Additional Content and select the extra stuff you need... Be aware the complete download of all the additional content is about 18GB so it can take a while to complete.

Hello!


I already did download additional content before asking my question..... It took 4.6GB : I downloaded Additional content and Soundpro if I remember correctly. I did this via Finder on my macbook. When I go to the Logic Pro menubar, I don't see anything about downloading additional content...... Where would it be? In Options?


Thank you for helping

Just to clarify (Because this does seem to confuse some people)


You must start Logic Pro. Once Logic is up and running.,..


Then you go to the Menu Bar at the top of the screen and click on the 'Logic Pro' Menu Item


In the drop down menu that will appear you will see an entry called 'Download Additional Content'


Click on that and select everything in the windown that opens...


Now see back and wait while it downloads all the additional content.. depending on your Internet speed it could take a while so be patient..


Once this is done, you will find all the missing presets, instruments, Apple Loops and other content... in Logic.

Hi Art of Sound!


Thanks for the tips, but I'm still not seeing what you're seeing 😕 On my Logic Pro menu bar I have the following tabs: File Edit Options Window Help. In none of these tabs do I see a "Download Additional Content" entry when the drop down menus appear for each tab...... Am I not clicking where I should or what?


Thanks for helping!

Make sure Logic Pro is running so you can see the main arrange window.


Now look at the menu Bar at the top of the screen... As Cowboy Bill rightly said, you should see a Symbol of an Apple in the top left of the menu Bar and then next to it the words Logic Pro which you need to left click on. That will bring down a drop down menu full of items, one of which will be Download Additional Content, which again you need to left click on.


If to the right of the Apple Symbol you see the word Finder instead of Logic Pro, left click anywhere in the main Arrange window of Logic to change the menu bar from Finder's menu bar to Logic Pro's...

No, it probably means that you are running a version of Logic before 9.1.6 (?)


When you have correctly downloaded all the content the menu option is still there.

Sophie,


keystrike was 'hijacking' your thread and asking a different question, to which CCT answered...


If that menu item doesn't appear then the version of Logic being run is earlier than 9.1.5


In your case you were running a later version of Logic so that menu item was there.. and as you said, you just wasn't clicking in the right place 🙂


Two different situations and two different reasons/resolutions...
