Plugsound Pro And Garageband Options

[Calmement]

Hello everyone!

I'll do my best in english...I'm French! And I have to warn you about this: I worked 11 years on
PC, but I'm on Mac only since 1 month...so, a true beginner!

Here is my computer:

Processeur 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Mémoire 4 Go 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Version du système: Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G55)

Now, to the question:

One week ago, I bought "PlugSound Pro", and installed it (together with the "Ilok Key", as one usually does).

My intention was to use this Sound Bank on "Digital Performer", which I have bought too, but which is, for now, to complicated for me...

So, before mastering DP, I have to use PlugSound Pro on GarageBand, far easier for me, for now.

The problem is that GarageBand apparently doesn't "know" that PlugSound is installed!

So, here's the question:

- How couldl I tell to GarageBand to use "PlugSound Pro" instead of its default-sounds ?

As I bought PlugSound, I asked if it was possible to use it with GarageBand, and they all answered that it was.....I hope they didn't fool me!

A last detail: I intend to use my CME midi-keyboard, as I did on PC, working on Cubase!

I thank you a lot for helping!

Friendly

Hi Pierre,
your english is better than my french....
so:
when you double click on a new software instrument, a track information window opens. you may need click 'details' button, or not, to access a button that is called "generator". this button will allow you to access any AudioUnit Plug-ins you have installed on your computer. Plug Sound Pro should have installed an AU component.
you may verify that by following the path Hard Drive>Library>Audio>Plugins>Components. it should be in that folder.

if it's there, it'll turn up in GB, and you can open it's window and use it's instruments.
i'm describing from memory, from a friend's computer that doesn't have GB, so i hope i've got it right, i'll cx later when i get home.
good luck!
