Major Garageband 10.3 bug

Garageband version 10.3 has a major bug again

all my plugins from Audio units from version 10.2 not working, including positive grids bias, a constant error prompt

reinstalled, updated the audio plugins and still the same error. audio units is also enabled under preferences.

i tried clearing the audio cache files from the library and two tone patch fix. Still not reading any of my plugins and same error

you would think they would make sure it works this time after the previous screw up.

Any chance anyone knows where i can get a Garageband 10.2 installer or a way around this problem

All my sessions are screwed up now.

You would be a lifesaver! thanks in advance. APPLE DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!

Anyone had any luck?

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016), macOS High Sierra (10.13.5), null

Yea, it really is. If it worked for you in ver 10.2 do a system restore via time machine and go back to GarageBand 10.2 so that you can use your plugins

I managed to resolve my plugin problems this way. Hope this helps! Good luck

Same here. Hey Apple, you're the richest company on earth and you CAN'T deliver a minor GB version without a bug ? A bug that appears on every new version of GB or LPX. The classical 'AU can't load AU' bug. *** ? I'm tired of all those issues...

A simple regression test literally checking if ANY plugin loaded after launching application would have found this.

It's very disappointing and even concerning that a company this size, with so many customers could drop the ball on this (multiple times even).

Who is in charge of QA over there? Why was a test not added after this failed last time?

As other's said you may have some luck restoring to 10.2 but this may come with other unintended consequences (for instance my C01UPRO Mic doesn't work at all anymore in 10.2).

It is not possible to downgrade to GarageBand 10.2 from the AppStore, if your Mac is running a system that supports GarageBand 10.3.

To downgrade to the earlier version, restore the GarageBand 10.2 application from the last Time Machine backup you made, before you installed the update.

I have the same problem - very disappointing. Just installed the Townsend Sphere virtual mic software last week. Now non-functional; spent $1500 and cant use the mic.

Beyond frustrating.

Same problem...

Do you think that it could be resolved if I upgrade to Logic Pro ?

For my part I didn't have made a backup...😐 Do you think the problem will be the same in Logic Pro x if I import my garageband's projects ? (sorry for my English)
