Has anyone found and/or made a detailed list and explanation of the audio units in Garageband?
I found the peak limiter is incredibly useful and I'm interested in learning more about how to use the other audio units.
Much obliged compadres,

The Plugins in GarageBand are actual Logic Plugins. The difference is that you will see only a very simplified user interface with just a few parameters to change.
You could download Apple's free iBook "Logic Pro X Effects" on the iBooks Store that describes the Logic Plugins. You only have to ignore the additional parameters and the user interface and read the explanation for the parameters that are available in GarageBand.

Many thanks Mr. Rothermich.
I picked up your Garageband X book a couple weeks ago which is tremendously helpful, but the AU plugins stuff was the one thing I couldn't find in there! Thanks for the Logic link.
I'm making the transition from Ableton to Apple DAWs as I'm working more with acoustic instruments and other performers. I'm wondering what the benefits of Logic over Garageband are. What are your insights on the differences? Is it worth the $200?
Thanks again,
RS
Logic itself is definitely worth the $200. It is extremely cheap if you consider what you get for your money.
If the $200 is worth for you depends on your needs. the code base for GarageBand and Logic Pro X is the same, so the good news is that you feel at home right away. You can even turn off advanced features so it is not too overwhelming at first. It even adds the familiar wood panels.
The main difference is that most features and workflows have more options, that means most of the restrictions in GarageBand are gone.
Here is a list with just a few additional advanced features that Logic provides
If you decide to upgrade, you know where to get the right Logic book(s) to explain all those cool features in an easy to understand, graphically enhanced style 😉
Hope that helps
