Q: How to link Logic Pro X instruments Library with GarageBAnd (and use Logic specific instruments with GarageBand) ?

Hello

 

I have several computers (Macs mini) on which I installed Logic Pro X.

 

I found that after the installation of Logic, GarageBand's instruments library was more provided : Logic apparently shares its instruments library with GarageBand (therefore we find Logic specific instruments in GarageBand).  Remark : I'm not talking about Apple Loops, but software instruments.


For this pooling of Logic instruments library I had nothing to do particular, it has set up its own.


But now, with a new Mac Mini in wich I have newly installed Yosemite and Logic Pro X, this time, in this computer, I can not find Logic specific instruments in GarageBand, even after several re-installations / banks restorations sounds ...


How can I do to manually build the link that will allow GarageBand to benefit the Logic instruments library ?

Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

    Which version of GarageBand are you using?  In GarageBand 10, all my Logic Instruments are showing in the Legacy section of the instrument library.  Have you checked Legacy > Logic?

    EdiT:  Maybe I misunderstood your question.  If the problem is not, that you cannot find the Logic Pro Instruments in the instrument library, but that you are getting and error message "FX... missing" , when you select a Logic instrument in GarageBand,  look at this discussion:  Re: "Remix FX" isn't available on your system
