My AU Sampler looks different and I can't find resources anywhere.

Hello guys,


So I've been using garageband for a while now, I know it pretty well and I've been wanting to get into this AUSampler recently. Thing is, this is painfully frustrating, mine looks different. I do everything that all the tutorials tell me to do. I enable Audio Units, I go into the plugins menu, etc. Tap Apple, AU sampler and I get the attached image. What can I do? Have you ever had this problem?


I am running Garageband on Macbook pro M1. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

No need to contact Apple Support. The solution is to open GarageBand Preferences, then click on General. UNCHECK Accessibility - Open plug-ins in Control view by default.

That's all there is to it. Enjoy using your new sampler!

Hello,


No this doesn't help because this explains what Audio Units are. I know what they are and how to use them. I just don't know why my AU instruments look different and apparently there is nothing I can do about that. Please help me. As I said, I have Audio Units enabled, and I know how to access them. They just look different on my end. It seems like Garageband doesn't load them properly or something.


Thanks.
