Where can I find more presets to install on my Garageband?

Hi, I started using Garageband since I bought my first Mac computer last year ago and I am already familiar with using it. The only problem is there not enough instruments on my sound library so is there a possibility to install more sounds on my garageband? I am using the latest version on my OS X Yosemite. I am not happy with having a few guitars and they all suck so I would really appreciate if anyone got an opinion to help me with finding more instruments to download on my garageband?

There is not enough sound available for me to use and I don't like all of the instruments. I was used to FL Studio when I was using Windows pc computers since 2009.

Got any tips to improve guitar sounds or at least where to download more guitar sounds would be nice to find out.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Hey K98Phil,

If you're looking to expand GarageBand's library of software instruments and loops, you can purchase a whole host of additional content for just $4.99 (USD). More information on what this includes and how to go about acquiring this content can be found in the article linked below.

With a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 (USD), you can expand this content to 200 sounds, 2,000 loops, 15 drummers, and 40 basic lessons for guitar and piano. You also gain the ability to purchase additional Artist Lessons.

Additionally, you may consider the app MainStage for even more additional content. MainStage, while being an app with many features beyond GarageBand in and of itself, also provides a much greater wealth of additional instruments, effect patches, and loops as well.

Sound Library
• Over 1800 instrument and effect Patches
• More than 750 meticulously sampled instruments
• 4600 Apple Loops in modern urban and electronic genres
