7) The MIDI Instruments. Garageband also comes with many different types of instruments, especially if you’ve taken the time to download all of the available instruments by going into the preferences and hitting, “Download All Available Sounds.” Unfortunately, not every single MIDI instrument the software comes with is amazing. Early on, it prompted me to download instrument sample libraries and loops of around 1.5 GB which were not included in the initial installation. Then, it wanted a similarly-sized download to support iOS GarageBand files. I just recently found another download to enable more loops and MIDI voices. GarageBand ‘09 comes with more than 100 software instruments, and each of those has dozens of presets that can sound like distinct instruments in their own right. That is a truly astounding.

1. Using Midi With Garageband

Garageband makes it really easy to get in there and easily set up virtual instruments that come built-in. However, if you're going in to Garageband with the intention of using a third-party plug-in, you might be scratching your head at first.

But GarageBand can do much more than this: it gives you complete control over its Software Instruments. Virtual dj 7 download tpb. You can sculpt synth sounds, re-create vintage instruments, change a seventies sound to an '80s instrument, create wonderful electronic sweeps and swirls in synthesizer pads, emulate your favorite artist's axe, etc etc.

Using Midi With Garageband

In this Quick Tip, I'd like to show you how to easily set up a third party audio unit plug-in (like EZDrummer, Addictive Drums, Superior Drummer, etc).

In this tutorial, I'll be using Addictive Drums!

Step 1

Create a Software Instrument Track!

Step 2

In the Software Instrument Tab on the Right, press the 'Edit' Tab.

Step 3

Under the 'Sound Generator' heading, click where it says 'Piano'. It will always default to the 'Piano' instrument when you create a new track.

Step 4

In the drop-down list that appears, navigate to the 'Audio Unit Modules' section and choose your desired instrument. In my case, I'll choose 'Addictive Drums'.

Step 5

Once you select your instrument, a little orange Audio Unit Icon will appear, with your instrument next to it. But you still can't see it, right? Click the Orange 'Audio Unit' icon.

Step 6

Once you click the Audio Unit icon, your instrument will appear with it's graphically-friendly interface, ready for your use!

And that's really all there is to it! From here you can use your third-party instrument exactly the same as if you were using a built-in Garageband instrument! If you're using a MIDI Controller, you can trigger the instrument it the exact same way you would a regular Garageband Instrument.

One word of caution though: I would heartily recommend against running multiple versions of plug-ins like EZDrummer that use a lot of samples, or recorded audio. You can quickly eat up valuable system resources before you know it! Stick with one instance of EZDrummer, or Addictive Drums, and the rest should be smooth sailing!
