AU effects render problems in GB

  • I've debugged a lot with Maxima and Filter Demo, no silent crash at all. Run one time in the process function (short frame count) then nothing... So yes maybe a timeout or so...

  • This problem is so troubling! GarageBand is my homebase DAW on the iPhone, and the inability to record AU effects is no small bug!!! :-(

    I totally agree with you! Same here. But I’ve tested it with an Apple AU effect and that worked fine when exporting it to a song; I have tested 5 instances of Apple’s Audynamicsprocessor active in 5 tracks of a 6 track project and they all came out wet in the song. So that indicates that there is no issue with Apples own AUs.
    I think you can use 1 maybe 2 non Apple AUs without problem, but I am not sure about this.

    To which Apple AUs are you referring? I wasn't aware of any AU files from Apple. Do you have to download an app to get them, or are you referring to built-in effects that come in GarageBand? If so, I don't think they are AU plugins, but rather are just built-in effects native to GarageBand. You've really got me curious on this one! :smile:

    I am referring to...see picture. The first few are the ones I bought, the ones at bottom are from Apple. There are more, you can see them by scrolling down (not in this picture of course :)).

  • I'm having an issue with au in auria as well, I went to try the ddmf effects I bought the other day last night and there was no sound through them most of the time. The "solution" is to use a 512 buffer rather than 4096 on auria, I wonder if the GB thing is related to a similar issue? Low buffer means my air1 gets further crippled, so I guess for now no au for me.

    But I wonder if for garageband if you ran it in audiobus and reduced the buffer of that would make a difference? Hopefully au gets figured out, it really changes the landscape. For now I guess my mixing stays on Mac for the most part.

    Ah!! I didn’t know those even existed. I have A LOT of AU plugins, and these from Apple show up at the end—after the ones I purchased. Thank you for pointing them out!! :smiley:

    Ahaa!! :) Nice! I myself discovered them only a few days ago. Another thing which I also discovered a few days ago (a bit off topic) is the automation function in GB. Did you knew that? You can perfectly automate volume levels within a track! But perhaps you know this already. Let me know if you didn’t.

  • I knew about the volume automation. Do you know of any other automation capability? Midi cc for example? Or possibly panning?

    About panning - this vid is about panning (I saw it about a week ago, and it made me aware of the automation function in GB)

  • Ah!! Makes sense!! Thank you!!

  • Still have render issues and also garageband doesn't seem to save the settings of the au when exiting and re-entering sometimes. Very frustrating

  • edited March 2020

    Hate to dig up an old thread, but seeing same issues. Was there ever a fix for this? I can't track merge either same deal, AU crashes. Doesn't happen on all AUs..

    I think my first mistake was opening GB at all today lol... four hours later here I am :\ bummer.

  • I have had SynthMaster One crash a few times when reloading projects. It merged fine, though. Third time, I finally learned.
