You can choose a custom AU synthesizer at the top of the stack, and there are hardwired slots for the Compressor and Visual EQ effects, plus four remaining slots for your installed Audio Units plugins. Once in GarageBand, you can access your AU plugins by creating a software instrument track, then clicking on the "Edit" tab in the right-hand Track Info column (see left image). Power User note: The latest versions of OS X might try to stop you from installing these plugins (it's a long story), but you'll have success if you use this trick: hold down the Control key while clicking on the installer, and select the "Open" command from the pop-up menu. component suffix) into the support folder Macintosh HD\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components before starting up GarageBand.

LumaFusion kinda brings Final Cut Pro X to the iPad. In other creative fields you see the transition happening already, apps like Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer have full iPad version. But the player versions, Massive (X) and effects like the Solid Mix Series seem to me like a good bet. Of course I am not expecting the full versions of Kontakt and Reaktor to work on iOS. As Native Instruments recently announced a new version of Traktor DJ for iPad I have hopes they will bring Komplete to iPad (Pro) as well some day. I found an article that said rewriting Mac Audio Units for iOS is relatively easy. However not a single one of the AUs I use on my Mac system made their way to iOS. Yet when I found out de iOS version supports Audio Units as well I got really hyped. As a Logic Pro X user I was already really impressed by how much you can do with the mac version of GarageBand. So, I have been trying out GarageBand on iPad and I must say I am impressed.
