Question

My AU Sampler looks different and I can't find resources anywhere.

Hello guys,

So I've been using garageband for a while now, I know it pretty well and I've been wanting to get into this AUSampler recently. Thing is, this is painfully frustrating, mine looks different. I do everything that all the tutorials tell me to do. I enable Audio Units, I go into the plugins menu, etc. Tap Apple, AU sampler and I get the attached image. What can I do? Have you ever had this problem?

I am running Garageband on Macbook pro M1. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

No need to contact Apple Support. The solution is to open GarageBand Preferences, then click on General. UNCHECK Accessibility - Open plug-ins in Control view by default.

That's all there is to it. Enjoy using your new sampler!

Greetings teofan.gavriliu,

We’re going to provide a link from the GarageBand User Guide that goes over some plug-in options for Audio Units. Let us know if that helps this situation. Use Audio Units plug-ins with GarageBand on Mac

The article also has some links on how to add and edit plug-ins.

Thanks.

Hello,

No this doesn't help because this explains what Audio Units are. I know what they are and how to use them. I just don't know why my AU instruments look different and apparently there is nothing I can do about that. Please help me. As I said, I have Audio Units enabled, and I know how to access them. They just look different on my end. It seems like Garageband doesn't load them properly or something.

Thanks.

Hey teofan.gavriliu,

At this point, we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support. They will have the necessary tools to investigate into this matter more with you: Get Support.
