Garageband Legacy Download

[Rule Uresti]

Ihave been looking at videos on how to edit vocals in Garageband, but the main ones that were really of any help all showed a library option underneath the "vocals", "acoustic guitar", and "electric and bass guitar" options called "Legacy". They seemed to be running the same version of Garageband as me, but I don't have it, nor can I seem to find any information on how to get it. I have downloaded all sounds. From what I can find, it seems like it came from an older version, but Apple took it away for some reason??? I have a Macbook Pro I bought in December of 2014. I am not running the newest OS since it had bad reviews.

Previous versions of GarageBand (GarageBand '11, GarageBand '09 etc. had some instruments installed, that are no longer available in the newer GarageBand versions, or example the sound effect Instruments. also the Jam Packs, that have been sold separately are not included in GarageBand 10. If you previously had an older garageBand version installed or purchased the JamPacks, these sounds will appear in GarageBand 10 in the Legacy section, because garageband 10 can use these sounds. But the get them, you need to install the JamPacks or GarageBand '11, if you have access to installers for them. Apple does no longer sell them.

Thank you. I sure wish they came with the newer version. All of the extra vocal processor settings would have really helped a noob like me. Do you know if there's a way to find and safely download the legacy bits without the entire old program?

Many of the most interesting sounds are installed by the JamPacks. If you purchase and install MainStage 3, it will add the sounds and loops from all five Jam Packs. It is a bargain price, compared to what the JamPacks used to cost when bought individually.

I'm honestly too ignorant to know, to be frank. I was watching vocal editing videos and a couple people scrolled through what appeared to be more options than just compressed vocal, robot, fuzz, narration, etc. The legacy library had things like female blues singer, etc. I have no clue what I'm doing with editing, so extra presets would be of great help.

Perhaps I will see if I can find out if those are available in the Mainstage download. Those are definitely what was showing up in the videos. I started to look at Mainstage but when I saw it was for live performance I decided to not look any further. Thank you!

But I recently began using Garageband 10 for the first time on Mac with El Capitan. While some users in the internet showed that they use "legacy" to change their voice, I cannot find "legacy" in my Garageband 10.

All the predefined voice patches in "legacy" do is adding plug-ins and changing the settings for the plug-ins. So you could use the vocal patches coming with GarageBand 10, for example "natural Vocal", add plug-ins, fine tune them.

The "Legacy" section is for older patches, leftovers from older versions, andwill only show, if you previously had an older GarageBand version (GarageBand 6.0.5 or older) or Logic or the JamPacks installed. The Legacy section will show the instruments from this older versions, if you did not uninstall them completely when you upgraded to GarageBand 10.

If you do plan to update to Big Sur, as always make sure you make a Time Machine backup first. That way if you DO have compatibility issues or just hate it or something, you can revert back to your current setup.

Followed your steps as I have had on my mac in the past.

The version it downloads is old (6.0.5) and will not install as it is 32bit.

My Mac is a 2013 model running Catalina 10.15.7

Any ideas?

Hello,I have a first gen iPad.I got difficulty restore the deleted Garageband app. The app in iTunes is version 2.x.x. and cant be installed.I had once on a telephone Apple support in japan,afterall she told me very kindly that i cant get back the app because its too old. I think that i have no way but using a newer version on another iPad. BTW I wonder if i get an ipad with older version of it, i can transfer the app to my ipad. How do you think?

It seems very strange that (for people like myself who bought an older MAC that cannot be updated to the latest OS) for APPLE to then force us to look for pirate/shonky versions of Garageband. How difficult would it be for them to allow older versions for older computers?

dang it, we only have older macs but the one i record on has the latest version, the one my hubby mixes and masters it on is older and has can only run older version, i just went to load the song into the old mac for mixing and oh dear, it wont load the file as it is recorded on a newer version of garageband. rethink required. all his presets for plugins etc are on the old mac. Both macs struggle with the files but was tryng to avoid paying for a new mac :{ didnt even think of that when i did an update a while back.

I did not read through the comments to see if someone offered this solution but the workaround on an older Mac is to sign into another Apple ID where the program was previously downloaded, download the older version, then log out. I logged into my Apple ID account on my old Mac laptop, downloaded Garage Band, then logged back out and logged my kid back in. Worked like a charm.

Yes, it works.

Old Macbook Pro using MacOS Big Sur (Unable to install GarageBand latest version)

On newer MacBook Pro running MacOS Monterey: Delete GarageBand app

On Old MacBook Pro: Login to App Store using same Apple ID as newer MacBook Pro

Search for GarageBand. It will download GarageBand version compatible to macOS Big Sur

It recently occurred to me that I haven't updated my Sound Library in a while, and since there appeared to be a number of new instruments/sounds available I thought, "Why not?". I navigated to the Sound Library, selected "Download All Available Sounds", and all was well...

The first issue is that when all of the new session tracks appear, the default instrument that they appear as is "Tough Kit", which is one of the electronic drum kit options in the "Electronic Drum Kit" intrument library. This is slightly odd only because the default instrument that all newly created session tracks USED TO appear as were "Classic Electric Piano". I have no idea how or why *that* particular instrument became the default instrument for new tracks, but I kind of got used to it, and I don't understand why all of a sudden every new track I create defaults as "Tough Kit" (which, btw, I've never used in any of my songs).

The second, and way more distressing issue, is that once I updated my Sound Library, I noticed that a BUNCH of my favorite instruments have VANISHED. Specifically, the whole "Legacy" instrument library seems to have been "updated". Which is to say that a TON of instruments in the "GarageBand" a "Logic" sub-libraries are no longer available!

One other thing is that if I open any older sessions that I created prior to updating my sound library, all of the old "legacy" instruments are still there. It's only when I create a new session (i.e., post sound library update session) that these instruments are gone/unavailable.

I have no idea how or why *that* particular instrument became the default instrument for new tracks, but I kind of got used to it, and I don't understand why all of a sudden every new track I create defaults as "Tough Kit" (which, btw, I've never used in any of my songs).

Either you've specific that in your new tracks dialog, and/or you saved a "default" preset for that particular plugin so it always starts with that preset. That's a feature, and you can use it or change it as you like.

If you can explain what an item of affected content was, where it was stored on disk, and what's there now, we can look into it. Of course, you can always recover things that may have been deleted (if that is the case, which seems unlikely) from your backups, this kind of thing is exactly what backups are for.

Option-click an Instrument slot and choose whatever you want from the Legacy submenu.

Just as some info on what the "legacy" instruments are/how they work.

The legacy instruments are subsets of the ES1, Vintage B3, Vintage E Piano, Vintage Clav, Sampler, ES synths, etc. When loaded, the underlying synth engine of the "full fat" versions of the plug-ins is leveraged....with a restricted number of visible parameters/macros and a simple, non-graphical interface.

These instruments are retained for backward compatibility.

GB instruments are a combo of legacy instruments and sample library...so the old Apple Loops "instruments" are found in the Sampler library (or the Apple Loops library).

Screenshot A shows the path from "Legacy" to "Logic" to "Bass"... and Screenshot B continues from "Bass" to "Synth Bass" and includes a partial list of the instruments found in the "Synth Bass" sub library.

Compare this to Screenshot C, which is from a new session I just created (post Sound Library update)... you can see that when I select the "Legacy" menu, and then select "Logic", the only sub library choices I have are "01 Spaces", "02 Imaging", "03 Delays", etc.

They say a picture's worth a thousand words. Hopefully these proxies make sense?

Note that clicking on the setting names in the Library will automatically load the appropriate (legacy) plug-in.
