Sound effects are missing in Logic Pro

Hi,

Some sound effects are no longer available in Logic Pro. In a project I used to work on, Thunder Clap, Forest.1 and
I used effects like Rain Heavy Thunder.
I formatted my Mac and reinstalled Logic Pro. When I looked at the project again, I realized that those effects were
not in the library. It has the Forest effect, but it's shortened. There are no others. They were perfect for my song.
I am really sad.

How can I find them again? Can you help me?

My English is not very good, I hope I expressed it correctly.

Thanks

At least some of the sound effects were licensed from third parties like Sound Ideas. I assume that Apple is no longer paying for these so at least on my system they weren't included when I updated Logic. If you still have backups of your old install you can copy the sound effects from there to your new install. It's been quite a while since I did this so I can't give you specific directions. I remember it took some trial and error and you might need to run update on the sound library. The loops end with .caf and on my computer are in Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Detroit Chop Shop and iLife Sound Effects and SoundIdeas. So you should be able to run a search on .caf and find them.

Go to the Logic Pro menu, to Sound Library, choose Download All Available Sounds.

It may take awhile, let it be, then you'll have everything Logic currently comes with.
