Garage Band Compatibility, Will Avox work with my set-up? Options

[Bobby Bell]

I'm truly uncertain where to post this. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

I'm very interested in trying the Antares Avox software for both vocals and violin and would like to get any feedback from a user or tester.

I would like to know whether I can use it with Garage Band 2 on my iBook G4 with 1.25Gs RAM. From what I've read about it in their ads it seems like a super app for my type of arrangements.

Hey MIDImodesitt

Thanks a lot for the post. I went to daHornet and downloaded the AU file - then I pasted the .component file into the components folder, but then when I reopened Garageband I couldn't find the instrument. What I did was simply open a new track and search through basic synth, synth leads, all the synth options and found nothing. Is it under another name? Do I need to restart the Mac (I know I should have already tried this)? Do I have a version of Garageband that can't accept plugins?

It won't show up under the Garageband preset instruments. Just pick any instrument, I usually go with the Grand Piano, and then down where the options are there is a popup menu that says "Generator." daHornet will be on that list, so long as you restarted Garageband after you put the AU in your components folder. After you select it, you can choose "save instrument" at the bottom (I saved it as WASP under synth basics ) so it will be in the instrument preset menu.
