Here are some good sources for Audio Units. One of the largest makers of Audio Units and other GarageBand plug-ins is AMG.; MDA-VST: Which contrary to its name has over a dozen AU plugins includung Amp Sims, Detuner, Delay, Comperssor/Limiter, and more; MacMusic.org: a HUGE list of Freeware, Shareware and Commercial Plug-Ins. If you’ve joined The GarageBand Guide community, there’s a good chance you’ve received an email from me letting you know just how much I love Blue Cat’s Freeware Plug-Ins Pack. Of the plugins featured in the bundle, Blue Cat’s Free Amp really shines. In fact, I put a video together a wee while ago outlining how to get the most out of it. Step-by-Step Guide for Installing Garageband iOS Plug-Ins 1) Go into the App Store and Choose the Plug-In. For this tutorial, I chose to download the DLYM Delay Modulator, from Imaginado, which is one of the best free Delay Modulators. Just click on the “Get” button to download it, and then wait for it to download.
A De-Esser is basically a compressor that acts only on a specific frequency (narrow frequency band).
GarageBand's De-Esser makes it very easy to setup, because it has only two parameters, the two important ant ones.
Suppression Frequency [Hz]: This is the frequency (your SSSS) that will be compressed, reduced in level
Supression [dB]: This is the amount, the level, how much that frequency band is reduced
Setting up a DeEsser has two important steps. First you have to identify the frequency and then adjust how much you want to reduce it:
Here are the steps:
- Set the Suppression to an extreme, -20dB (all the way to the right)
- Now listen to your track and slide the frequency to hear when the bad SSSS disappear (are reduced). You can also use the EQ Analyzer to see spot the peaks and their corresponding frequency
- Once you isolate the frequency, adjust the Supresion amount. As low as possible to reduce the SSS, but not to low that you hear a negative side effect (lisp)
- Please note that you can use two DeEsser on that same track, working on different frequency bands, in case you have two 'trouble spots'
- For tricky material, note that you can use automation to alter the parameters
- Ultimately, it is a compromise and the result may vary depending on your material. At the end, your ear is your judge.
Hope that helps

GarageBand provides touch instruments, effects, recording, and mixing for creating and saving songs. You can experiment with sounds and adjust settings to create the results you want. It’s like having a recording studio right on your phone.
Write some fresh tunes
GarageBand takes advantage of multi-touch gestures, so it’s easy and fun to make music.
Using a variety of instruments, including drums, keys, and strings, you can create your own tracks. These also come with effects, so you can produce a variety of sounds with thousands of possibilities for each song you record.
GarageBand empowers you to expand on the sound library with its extensive list of plug-ins. These are connected through the external menu that offers the option for Audio Unit extensions.
The most attractive feature of the app is how easy it is to use. The interface is intuitive, which makes playing instruments straightforward and fun to do. The composition process is simple. For those without a musical background, you can use the smart instruments that come with pre-recorded segments, so you can throw a track together with a few taps.
As a digital audio workspace, the capabilities are great. However, it isn’t a complete recording and editing program. If you are looking for a full range of professional tools, you might need FL Studio or a desktop program.
Where can you run this program?
This app requires iOS 13.0 and above.
Is there a better alternative?
No. For an on-the-go digital audio workspace, GarageBand will fulfill the needs of most casual users. More serious musicians should look into Cubasis or FL Studio Mobile.
Our take
Free Garageband Plugins Macbook 2009
GarageBand is great for those that want to create music. It’s also a fun way for less experienced composers to experiment with recording tracks. It offers versatility in an easy to use format, but can’t completely replace the more advanced technology available in Mac or PC programs or in studios.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you want to develop your interest in creating music, this is a great way to do so.
