  1. As far as I could see, the heavy "essential content" downloads to this particular 3 folders: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/ /Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/ /Library/Application Support/Logic/Ultrabeat Samples/ So I suggest to remove all files from these folders except for those which marked as Mandatory in corresponding plist file. I did it manually as it didn't take too long to go into each folder, select all files and deselect one particular file and then delete. As to the list of files, you can just try to use mine, maybe it didn't change eversince. But of course backup original folders before deleting anything. Or first you can look into your plist file and see if files from my list match with yours, and then decide if you want to try to remove using my list. Note that overall there are too many "IsMandatory" files in the plist, I don't think you have to check them all. I just searched most heavy sized folders with app "Disk Inventory" and that's how I noticed them and started to think how to remove them. Finally, if files are different for your version, you can get the list by typing in command line something like grep '/Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples' logicpro1070.plist and it should give you the list of files for this particular folder. But you have to know first where these heavy weighted folders are located. I've tried and it didn't worked in my case.
  2. I too was very annoyed with this app's behaviour, none of solutions worked for me so I came up with my own. In fact, Logic checks only a few files from all "essentials" (17 in my case), and they are listed in /Applications/Logic Pro X.app/Contents/Resources/logicproXXXX.plist where XXXX is the version of app, in my case it was 1023. It's listed under "Packages" key, you can find it by searching for a directory name you're concerning of, such as "Ultrabeat Samples". It also has a "IsMandatory" flag. So I came up with list of files that Logic checks on startup and if any of them doesn't exist or has unusual size - it shows the annoying download window. Here is the list of files for my version of app, they're only 34 megs total size: /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/01 Hip Hop/Let's Roll Beat.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/02 Electro House/Dark Clap Topper 2.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/03 Dubstep/Yeah Yeah Topper Beat.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/04 Modern RnB/Zip Line Bass 02.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/07 Chillwave/VHS Sunset Synth.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/08 Indie Disco/Wistful Disco Guitar.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/09 Disco Funk/Wah Power Guitar.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/10 Vintage Breaks/Wet Disco Break.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/11 Blues Garage/Funky Blues Guitar 02.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand/80s Dance Bass Synth 06.caf /Library/Application Support/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Apple Loops for GarageBand/Acoustic Slide 02.caf /Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/Drum Kit Designer Consolidated/Drum Kit Designer Claps/AP v1 Claps_consolidated.caf /Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/Drum Kit Designer Consolidated/Drum Kit Designer Kick/Stereo/SoCal Kit/SoCal Kit Kick2_consolidated.caf /Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/Drum Kit Designer Consolidated/Drum Kit Designer Shaker/AP v2 Shaker_consolidated.caf /Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/Drum Kit Designer Consolidated/Drum Kit Designer Tambourine/AP v2 Tambourine_consolidated.caf /Library/Application Support/Logic/Ultrabeat Samples/Drum Machine Designer/After Party/Block_AfterParty.aif /Library/Application Support/Logic/Ultrabeat Samples/Drum Machine Designer/Trap Door GB/Stomp_TrapDoor_GB.aif And yes, you can completely delete folders "Drum Kit Designer Cowbell" and "Drum Kit Designer Snare" from "Drum Kit Designer Consolidated". The other directories has a file to check by Logic, except for "Apple Loops for GarageBand": it has two files.
  3. Hi, I have several "software instrument" channels that receive midi input from IAC midi driver. I did this using "MIDI Environment" window: simply connected IAC buses to channels. I also connected my midi-keyboard to a Monitor so it doesn't affect channels directly in Logic. Everything works well, except for the recording: Logic doesn't record these channels. Any ideas how to do that?
