However, if you're going in to Garageband with the intention of using a third-party plug-in, you might be scrat. I can almost guarantee that at some point in your Garageband career, you’re going to want to get more sounds and add some new instruments and/or loops to the ‘vanilla’ selection that comes with the program.

Garageband makes it really easy to get in there and easily set up virtual instruments that come built-in. However, if you're going in to Garageband with the intention of using a third-party plug-in, you might be scratching your head at first.
In this Quick Tip, I'd like to show you how to easily set up a third party audio unit plug-in (like EZDrummer, Addictive Drums, Superior Drummer, etc).
In this tutorial, I'll be using Addictive Drums!
Step 1
Create a Software Instrument Track!
Step 2
In the Software Instrument Tab on the Right, press the 'Edit' Tab.
Step 3
Under the 'Sound Generator' heading, click where it says 'Piano'. It will always default to the 'Piano' instrument when you create a new track.

Step 6
Once you click the Audio Unit icon, your instrument will appear with it's graphically-friendly interface, ready for your use!

And that's really all there is to it! From here you can use your third-party instrument exactly the same as if you were using a built-in Garageband instrument! If you're using a MIDI Controller, you can trigger the instrument it the exact same way you would a regular Garageband Instrument.
One word of caution though: I would heartily recommend against running multiple versions of plug-ins like EZDrummer that use a lot of samples, or recorded audio. You can quickly eat up valuable system resources before you know it! Stick with one instance of EZDrummer, or Addictive Drums, and the rest should be smooth sailing!
