I have a Mac and Garageband is built in. My previous iMac from 2009 had the 09 version of GB. GB is pretty awesome and free with the Mac (so not
really free...). Still, nice to have if you're a Mac person.
So, last August, my Mac is getting old and I decide that it's time to upgrade. I go purchase a Mac Mini and a Thunderbolt 27" monitor (awwwwwesome!). The new Mac has GB10 loaded.
Now, I have a number of third party virtual instruments (I have a number of EZDrummer sets) and Amp Sims (I use IK Multimedia's Stealth Pedal and Amplitube stuff).
Go to open my stuff in the new GB....Doesn't recognize my plug-ins....I look on line and lo and behold....Everyone else says the same. I can't open my stuff and work on it...WHAT!
It's not until recently that this was resolved. I'm still trying to get GB to actually recognize my specific amps etc. But at least I know it can see them and I can find where they are connected in the the GB interface.
Even when it's free, you pay a price.....oi
