hoges1 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi, i've lost my producer kits suddenly... i'm thinking it could have something to do with me "cleaning my mac" and wiping garage band off the HD to get more space...? anybody know how i can reinstall them pls? I would be much obliged. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 You should be able to reinstall them from Logic Pro X > Download Additional Content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoges1 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Hi David, thanks for your fast reply! (and congrats on your book by the way!!) i've tried reinstalling, but I still don't get the producer kits option in the library... I tried changing to multi out rather than stereo to no avail. weird.

hoges1 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 hello again, i'm still having this problem... under the drum kit library menu i used to be able to choose "producer kits", and then select the kit i wanted to use, with all its glorious mix-options... but alas, after i did a hard drive "clean", they're gone. i've tried reinstalling all the "additional content", even the stuff that was already installed, but to no avail. suggestions please? otherwise I guess my last option is to completely erase Logic and reinstall everything with updates and additional content, but i'd rather not if i can avoid it...

CCTMusic Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hi Are you sure that they are missing? Try a) Making a new Drummer track and opening the Library b) In the Finder, go to Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Logic:Patches:Drum Kit You should find a folder called z01 Producer Kits CCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoges1 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 hey CCT, thanks for your reply, problem solved! I found the patches (i have still no idea why they didn't show up in the library though..) thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruthMusiq Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm having the same problem on Yosemite 10.10.3 with Logic Pro X 10.1.1. I have no producer kits! In the Finder, go to Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Logic:Patches:Drum Kit is empty. Also the default location I'm sent to from the finder, Music > Audeo Music Apss > Plug In Settings > Drum Kit Designer folder is empty as well. I'm trying to "download additional content" (even though it thinks I have everything already.) Any input would be greatly appreciated....

SergioMartins Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It's weird, my producer kit folder appears empty if i search in Finder inside Logic, but if i go through OS browser, the Kits are there...can't find a solution to access them...

It sounds like spotlight isn't finding the kits.... I would check the permissions on the Producer Kit folder? Unfortunately I reinstalled the Mac where I had this issue so I never really attempted to solve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMartins Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 How can i check the permissions on that folder? Making sure you can read and write? Cheers, S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Select the folder in the Finder, and choose Command-I to open the Info window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioMartins Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thank you David, just checked and seems to be fine... I found something new...the producer kit appears in one way, but only this one, opening an empty Software Instrument channel and opening Library - Drum Kit - Producer Kits. They appear through here. I usually don't use this library tab... Anyway, could be some issue related with El Capitan beta, which i am using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I don't think it's specific to El Capitan since I and others have reported the same issue in earlier OS X versions. Interesting that you report being able to report the kits available in the Library when an empty software instrument track is selected. Seems like it's a weird bug with the Drummer track then.

Eric Cardenas Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 The Library is contextual. Make sure that you have the Channel Strip slot selected and not Drum Kit Designer in the inspector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeh62 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm having this same issue. All drum set content is installed, but producer kits are nowhere to be found in Finder, Application Support folders or within Logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeh62 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I reinstalled the producer kit and stereo kits for a second time and now all is working well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The Library is contextual. Make sure that you have the Channel Strip slot selected and not Drum Kit Designer in the inspector. Unfortunately Eric, that's not the issue here. There is a bug with producer kits disappearing. I maintain about 27 Macs with Logic Pro X installed and I saw that bug on only ONE of them, but it's clearly a bug, and not pilot error.

Eric Cardenas Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Do you mean that the appropriate files are installed but that Logic fails to see them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramerzone Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Did this issue ever get resolved? I just migrated to a new Mac Pro and now my producer kits are missing too. Thanks for any insight, wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Try downloading the additional content once again. It can solve this kind of install errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyfkos Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi I found it what worked for me was go to sound library - download available sounds and then where drums are - open up drop downing click multi drum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
