audiogaragebandgarageband-11
I am trying to use soundfonts with GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5). I downloaded 2 files from HammerSound, I put them in Library > ...Banks, and, in GarageBand, I created a new project, went to the right side and set "DLSMusicDevice" below "sound generator".
Now I don't see where I can find the sf2 files. If I click on a line in Effect, I can choose between Audio Unit Effects or Effects from GarageBand.
Would anyone know something about this?
Assuming you’re using GarageBand ’09 (I think it’s the same in iLife ’11), you can still follow those very same instructions.
AUNetSend is an audio unit that uses Bonjour to send a stream of data in the format that you specify.
You can then modify the properties of the “send”:
The “listening” side should be using AUNetReceive…
I haven’t really tried this since the age of dawn, but assuming both Macs are in the same network, it would be more or less straightforward.
Ah yes, this is something Apple's been sent feedback about in terms of their user interface design for GarageBand 10. It's actually a quick fix that will hopefully get addressed in an upcoming update (changing the default setting on installation will probably do the trick for most people).

Try double clicking the picture next to it.
When you hover over the picture changes to three lines with dots on them so you know you're in the right place.
Then a dialog opens, where you can change the sound bank.
However, I'm having a problem at the moment that the latest soundfonts I downloaded are crashing GarageBand when I close the dialog, although one I already selected is OK.
