Trouble with 3rd party VST installs for Garageband, can't find instruments

Hi,
I am having trouble with Audio Units for Garageband when installing 3rd party software, VSTs, loops, instruments. I have more issues with Logic Pro. I am hoping that it is the same underlying issue and that I am just missing something. I have the manuals (not great for troubleshooting). I am confused with some installs use User Library and others use the Computer Library. I do go to the mfgs sites for updates. The installs sometimes work as standalones but I don't see ALL of the components of the software in say Garageband or Logic. Mostly, I am missing the "instruments" and "loops" that I want to access within the DAW. Some examples:
• Here is some of the software I am talking about:  East West sample libraries (Play and Native Instruments); Vienna Symphonic librarires; Sylenth1 (just last night); Sample Tank 2 and Total Workstation 2 from IK Multimedia and others.
• In GB I see the Audio Units for Vienna, Play, Sylenth, some of the IK Multimedia but NOT any instruments when I go to the "Sound Generator" -- I seem to be missing the instruments and loops. I see less AUs in Logic Pro. Some of these are VST instruments.
• Can I just drag-drop samples to the library folders to fix this?
• The plug-ins do not seem to work (though Sylenth1 worked for a single sound). When there is a standalone app (as in Sample Tank), I finally got the "sounds" to be reinstalled and loaded, those sounds/samples don't show up in any DAW.
• When and if the sounds/loops/samples show up in GB's "Instruments" section will I be able to tell that they belong to that particular software or library?
Thanks in advance.
John

Found the answer myself, it was simple:
• Select the Track
• Show the Instrument (info area)
• Click on Edit
• Click on the "Sound Generator" pop up field.
• At the bottom of the pop-up list, select from the Audio Units that you have installed. This is where you see "Sample Tank 2, Vienna Instruments..."
• NEXT -- IMPORTANT:   CLICK ON THE PICTURE next to the Sound Generator pop-up field.The AU unit loads up, the interface pops up, you load up the instruments in this AU Unit. You do NOT see the sounds from the AU unit in the normal Apple instrument list.
This was not intuitive but once you know it, fairly simple.
Still, the devil is in the details -- more questions on the way.

  • Is message persistance with 3rd party queues implemented?

    Is message persistance with 3rd party queues implemented for 9.0.2 or 9.0.3 prev?
    I am not able to use Oracle JMS and want to try implementing this.
    Documents on how to implement this would be helpful.
    thanks,

    OC4J 9.0.2 is certified with few JMS providers like MQSeries, SonicMQ, SwiftMQ, etc. Please look at the Services Guide that documents how to use 3rd Party JMS providers.

  • 3rd Party Plug-ins for Illustrator

    EskoArtwork has a Dynamic Barcode 3rd party plug-in for Illustrator that is listed on the Adobe wesbiste for Illustrator CS6.  I puchased it and downloaded it but during the install I get a message saying it can't find a compatible Adobe Illustrator installation on my computer (I have CS6 installed).  Upon reading the information on EskoArtwork's package, it says it is only compatible with CS4, CS5 and CS5.5.  Is there a way to get this to work with CS6?  If not, I would suggest Adobe take it off their list of Plug-In's for CS6. 
    Also - if it is not compatible, does anyone know of a similar plug-in that would generate and insert bar codes into packaging designs?
    Thanks!

    You'll probably need to ask EskoArtwork about this.
    In past versions, I've been able to move plugins from the plugin directory for the old version to the new version, and often it worked.  (YMMV, it depends on changes in the SDK.) You might try creating empty directories for a CS5 version number to see if the installer will work.

  • Developing 3rd party UWL Connectors for People soft system or other Java sy

    Hi Everyone
    We have one requirement that is u201CDeveloping 3rd party UWL Connectors for People soft system or other Java systemu201D and get the workflows from those system and display in portal though UWL.
    We used u201CUWL Custom Connector APIu201D and written all the required methods.
    Could any one help us u201CWhere can we specify the 3rd party system details?u201D
    If possible please send some sample coding for it.
    Thanks in advance
    Sat

    Hi Satya!
    Like the default SAP backend UWL connectory your 3rd-party connector should make use of a PCD System Object. This system is a mere java component with nothing more than a portalapp.xml defining all the system properties.
    Create a system in the portal system landscape based on the System PAR you depoyed.
    For every UWL connector you create in portal you define a system alias. This alias has to match the one of your new system object.
    And now for the sad part: I didn't find any clue yet about how to access the system from a custom UWL connector. The system alias is available in the method getItems(), but no hint whatsoever how to get the system object to the alias.
    I'm still investigating this, since i'm exactly at this point.

  • IPayment with 3rd Party payment system

    Hi All,
    I have to configure iPayment with the third party payment system. the 3rd party talks with the Paymentech for credit card processing.
    Here in this case,
    1. 3rd party server is providing web services to talk with them
    2. 3rd party server is working fine with the Paymentech
    Issues
    1. As per my understanding, I have to use Gateway model overhere. Correct me if I am worng?
    2. Do I need to create any configuration servlet to talk with 3rd party server or is there any other way?
    3. At which point I should call the web services provided by 3rd party?
    4. How to create request as per the web service requirements and how to solve the response provided by web services?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    If your third party system talks with Payment Tech, Is it possible for you to confiure payment Tech directly with iPayment. As you know that oracle provides all the necessary confguration and servelt. Its pretty striagt forward and simple.
    Find out whether you can use payment tech directly, that should solve most of your issues. If you need more information, let me know
    Thanks,

  • ANE with 3rd party libraries

    Short Version:  How does one package 3rd party dylib dependencies with an ANE on MacOS?
    Extended Version:
    I have an ANE that dynamically links with 3rd party libraries.  I am working on MacOS.
    My ANE framework dylib file links with the 3rd party library dylib.  However, when I package a bundle application with the ANE, the ANE fails to initialize, throwing an Error: "ArgumentError: Error #3500".  I have inferred that the issue is failure to find and link my 3rd party library dylib.
    If I run my AIR app from a Working Directory that contains the 3rd party library, everything works.  This implies that the linker is only looking in the Current Working Directory and not the locations of the 3rd party dylibs.
    I have included my 3rd party dylibs with my ANE framework, for instance:
    MyANE.framework/MyANE
    MyANE.framework/Resources/3rdparty.dylib
    I have used otool to inspect the linkage for MyANE.framework/MyANE:
    MyANE:
              libMyANE.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
              @rpath/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Adobe AIR (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
              ./3rdparty.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
          /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 52.0.0)
              /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 159.1.0)
    Ok, you see that it wants to load from CWD.  I tried changing the 3rdparty.dylib linkage, as so:
    install_name_tool -change ./3rdparty.dylib @loader_path/Resources/3rdparty.dylib MyANE
    but the application displays exactly the same behavior:  It only works if I run from the folder containing 3rdparty.lib.
    Are there some kind of additional platform options I have to set while packaging the ANE?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    I assume your client is standalone (or runs outside of the WLS JVM) if so you will need to put the required jars on your clients classpath.

  • 3rd Party Email Application for CF

    I know there are 3rd party email applications for CF ... Can
    anyone point me to them and/or let me know if they have worked
    better. I'm looking for more power with email (tracking, sending,
    routing, etc).
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Yeah, that might be to much. Normally, CF will directly send
    to your mailserver (usually IIS mail services) and if something
    goes wrong your only options reside in looking at the CF logs if
    you're logging mail. But I know there are some third party apps
    that do more tracking/resending then send to your mail server (and
    or better bulk mail processing). In your case you've just handled
    it more complexly by using an Exchange Server. That will be
    overkill for me plus a good amount of time learning and installing
    (not to mention price tag).

  • HT1295 Is it possible to use vst plugins for garageband from an external hard disk? (Without installing to the system hard disk)

    Hi,
    I got my MacBook pro 17" installed a 250GB of SSD as a system disk.
    And i got 4TB of Thunderbolt External Disk.
    The thing that i want is: to use my VST plugins for Garageband or Logic without fulling the system disk. Is it possible use them from an external disk?
    Thnx

    Garageband can't use VST plugins.
    If you're talking about AUs: you could try to put an alias into the HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder instead of the actual files, and see if GB loads them.

    Topic: Microsoft's Silverlight for Mac. I wanted to video stream a movie via Verizon FIOS. It demanded Silverlight.dmg.  Macbok Pro refused to download from 3rd party supplier (CNET). How can I get this from Apple?  The Verizon FIOS video website was churning on the error message, "Checking device registration status."  It got stuck in a loop. Verizon tech support never came on. Was on terminal "Hold."  Any recommendations?

    Never download anything from CNET. The site is untrustworthy and is known to distribute Windows spyware intentionally.

  • Trouble with mobile site. Displays for a second then screen goes black.

    Trouble with mobile site. Displays for a second then screen goes black. Using safari, 4s on Verizon. Example: m.mlb.com/lad/

    I hadn't checked the site since January or so, when it worked. It might be related to the Opening Weekend skin they have on the site, but for me, it shows the top part of the page for 3 seconds while it's loading (scrolling down is impossible) and then all of a sudden it turns black, showing nothing. It's that way for every MLB mobile site.

  • How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

    1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
    2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
    And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.
