Ok smart guy, so explain why certain VST's (such as Crystal synth and Amplitube) work with Garageband as VST's and NOT AU's??? Must mean that SOME VST's WILL work on Garageband, although only after much trial and error...
I have a picture that unfortunately I can't seem to upload, but it shows Crystal AND Amplitube as VSTS inside the VST folder of the plugins under audio, under library... library--->audio--->plugins--->vst's
Oh, I'm sorry, did I offend you? I still don't understand how people take things to heart on forums or on the internet for that matter... jeez...
No, I don't "expect" a response to 'that'... I already know the answer - but next time, when you're unsure of something, check twice before giving out answers like that. There ARE some vst's that work with Garageband. Period.
No, GB doesn't work with VSTs. The fact that you have VSTs installed on your computer only proves ... that you have installed them. And even if the effects work in GB, it could still be that you have installed the VST and the AU version installed on your machine.
