Garageband AU not working after High Sierra update

Well that's good news, means the issue is getting out there!

Plugins that I use are Softube, Izotope,Sonivox,Expand, Even some free plugins like Meters n Stuff, which GB has always been lacking...an actual VU meter!

Thanks for the update! I will update if any of these vendors get back to me, Havent even checked T-Racks yet..ugh

Update....Not good

I found that only one Plugin, Sample Tank from IK multimedia is functional as an AU instrument, but thus is the only one I have that is working.

Now they guy at Sonivox I was working with is OUT of the office until Oct 23rd....UGH

I wonder if Logic users are having the same issue but I have no way of finding out, Maybe someone could chime in, as information, fixes, workarounds are Zero from what I've found.

Thank You anyway, I forgot to try Addictive keys, I also have that.....

Will probably make a call to apple support, mainly because I would assume most users are content with the Standard GB Instruments, and users of higher end DAWs, pro tools etc. aren't having a problem, as I said previously I prefer doing basic tracking in GB then I will port over to Pro tools, mainly for the mxing console and a little more exactness of the mixes there.

I also saw a thread where no Melda plugins are working, so this has to be a problem that needs someones attention besides ours...Lol

Thanks and Good luck...

Thank You I saw that article before but the fix wasn't there, I will give this a try, maybe it will alow me to get some work done finally...

Thank You so much, I love how they linked back to this thread,...lol Second time that happened..

Thanks again For The Heads up!

YES! YES! YES!....It works....Thank God!

I haven't tried all the failing plugins I have but I did try a few and they worked

Thank You so much for finding that, I had actually started the dreaded process of porting everything into WAV today to send over to pro tools way before I usually do and you and this fix saved my ***!

Thanks again and I will pass it on...

I am So grateful you can't even imagine

Zoppo, Just wanted to give you a heads up that I did not have to redo the patch. I opened GB this morning and everything held from the project last night after applying the fix. At some point today I will open another project with plugin problems and see if it needs to be done on each project.

I wonder if it's because I just left the patch on an unused track, thats how I did it..

I created a track, and put the patch on the track and left the track in the project. Is That how you did it?

I will be sharing soon, I have been in music since the early 80's even had a song in the Top ten....Where are you now by Synch.....re relased as Where are you now with Jimmy Harnen and Synch after the band broke up...

If I could only go back and redo everything in my music years I would in a heartbeat...You could Try to look up X Country on Youtube, But most of my "Hayday" was before all of this Tech stuff...LMAO

Let me know if leaving it on a track works for you!

GA-songs, I hear your frustration....But the patch posted above fixes the issue, just leave the plugin on a track in the song.

I also use Pro tools, but I find in general doing the gruntwork in GB then moving everything over to PT works best for me, YMMV of course

And until I stupidly updated to High Sierra, I had not one issue with a plugin, In fact I like working withing GB so much I have thought of just moving to logic and ditching PT alltogther, I honestly think PT is a little overrated, but I understand why everyone likes it.

Good Luck, and I think because allot of GB user aren't using 3rd Party plugins this issue is kinda under the radar.

As an example Amplitude is a pretty popular plugin and strangely I have no issue using that, but other PI I have, go figure....

Honestly probably because theres not enough people ******** about it, after all anyone who uses pro tools looks down on garageband users, And I can completely understand why, because Garageband is a free DAW with so many great functions and features, of course the fanboys of Reaper, FL, Protools will **** on it.

If half these people did there grunt and demo work on it, they wouldn't think that way and would be complainig to high heaven.

I even thought by posting here, someone from Apple would at least acknowledge the issue, after all I was that close to bucking up for Logic...but not now...

I'm gonna call at the beginning of next week and see if we can at least get it addressed. After all if it was facetime doing this their would be a worldwide uproar...lol
