Virtual Guitarist 2 in Garageband?

Hi,

Anyone know how to get the Steinberg Virtual Guitarist 2 AU to show up as a generator in Garageband 3? It shows up in Logic Express but I'm not seeing it in Garageband.

I also can't seem to figure our how to use it in Rewire mode with Garageband. I'm experienced with Rewire in other hosts, but not in Garageband.

Any suggestions? Thanks -

Thanks for your response Glenn, but that didn't do it.

The standalone version finds the content just fine, and so does the plugin when I run it in Logic Express and Digital Performer.

My problem here is that Virtual Guitarist 2 doesn't show up in Garageband at all. I add a new track, set it to Software Instrument and go to the Details pane. I click on the Generator list and I see all of my other installed Audio Units, but not Virtual Guitarist 2.

I'll keep asking around and I'll post here when I have success.

Yes Glenn, that was it. Special thanks to my friend Dylan for putting in some phone time with Steinberg to get these instructions.

To make Garageband re-scan the Audio Units in the Components folder, I had to go to User/Library/Caches and from there delete the folder called Garageband and a file called com.apple.garageband cache.

The next time I launched Garageband, Virtual Guitarist 2 showed up as expected in the Generator list. It works perfectly.
