Jun 22, 2015 However, I could not do that in Mac. If I am not mistaken from the posts I read, AU is what Mac mainly uses. Even if I want a vst plugin instrument sound, I should install AU but not VST. OK, so I did drag the AU.component from another program into Garageband's instrument library/Sampler Files, Audio/Sounds, and Instrument Library/Sampler.

You can record (or sample) a sound using a microphone, or add an audio file, and then play it back like a melody on the Sampler keyboard. You can save samples to use in other GarageBand songs, and edit them in several ways.
Open the Sampler
-
Tap the Browser button , swipe to the Keyboard, then tap the Sampler button.
Record a sample
-
Tap the Start button.
-
Play, sing, or make sound into the built-in microphone or a connected microphone.

Add an audio file to the Sampler
-
In Tracks view: Drag a blue region from an Audio Recorder or Amp track to the Sampler track.
-
In the Sampler: Tap Import, then tap the button to the right of the audio file.
Play the sample
-
Tap the Controls button to show the Sampler keyboard, then tap notes on the Sampler keyboard.
The sound plays higher or lower as you play higher or lower on the keyboard. You can play multiple keys to create “chords” with the sound.
The Sampler also includes controls that let you change the keyboard range, hold notes, adjust touch sensitivity, arpeggiate chords, or play using a particular scale. These controls are the same as the controls for the Keyboard Touch Instrument.
Choose a different sample to play or edit

Tap My Samples, then tap the name of the sound you want to play in either This Song or Library.

-
Edit the volume of the sample over time: Tap Shape, then drag the points on the curve over the waveform.
-
Adjust the pitch of the sample: Tap Tune, then drag the Coarse Tune (for big adjustments) or Fine Tune (for small adjustments) slider.

You can create sampler instruments in GarageBand by dragging sample files to the keys of the Musical Typing keyboard but it’s a laborious process. Logic Pro’s EXS24 Sample Instrument Editor has a load more features that make creating sampler instruments quick and easy, and allows for the editing of an wide range of parameters, none of which is possible in GarageBand.
With a little bit of tweakery, it is possible to use the sampler instruments created in Logic Pro in GarageBand ’11, if you wish to extend the palette of instruments but carry on using GarageBand’s more straightforward sequencing environment. Here’s how:
Step 1
First create a sampler instrument in Logic Pro's EXS24 Sample Instrument Editor.
Create the sampler instrument in EXS24's Sample Instrument Editor.
Step 2
In the EXS24 Instrument Editor go to the Instrument Menu and choose 'Export Sampler Instrument and Sample Files'. You can name the instrument at this point if you haven't already done so. You can save the resultant files to any location for now.
Choose 'Export Sampler Instrument and Sample Files'.
Add the Instrument file to the following location:
Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Instrument Library > Sampler > Sampler Instruments
Add the folder of instrument samples to the following location:
Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Instrument Library > Sampler > Sampler Files
Step 3
Next we need to get GarageBand to recognize these files. You can see how GarageBand categorizes instruments if you double-click a software instrument track or click the 'i' button at the bottom right of the GarageBand window to open the Instrument Browser, then click the ‘Edit’ tab.
At the top is the ‘Sound Generator’ for the current instrument.
In the upper of the two Sound Generator pop-up menus make a careful note of the name of an appropriate instrument type, for example - ‘Strings’
Click on the lower of the two pop-up menus and you will see the instruments that are in this category but you won't see your instrumented listed (yet!)
The pop-up menus display the instruments that are in this category.
Step 4
In the Finder, browse to the following location:
Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Instrument Library > Plug-In Settings
In that location go inside any folder, select any .pst file inside that folder and copy it to the clipboard
Navigate to User Home > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Instrument Library > Plug-In Settings (if you are using Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks you will need to hold down the Option key to be able to select the User Home > Library from the Finder’s Go menu)
In that location create a folder with the exact name of the category you noted above (in the upper of the two Sound Generator pop-up menus—in our example ‘Strings’) and paste the .pst file into that folder, then rename the .pst file to the name you want your instrument to have (how it will appear in the lower of the two Sound Generator pop-up menus)
Step 5
Open the .pst file with a text editor such as TextEdit or Text Wrangler. Change the part of the code that was the original name of the .pst file (which ends in .exs in the code) to the name of your EXS instrument—it is important that this matches exactly!
The .pst file renamed and opened in TextEdit with the relevant part of the text highlighted.
The .pst file edited with the same name as the EXS24 instrument created in Logic Pro.
Save the text file. If GarageBand is open, close it and re-open it, then navigate to your instrument using the Sound Generator pop-up menus. GarageBand will now play your EXS instrument!
Your instrument, now available in GarageBand!
Final Notes
You can save this track instrument (together with any other track settings such as effects) so that it appears in the instrument browser and can be used in other GarageBand projects by clicking the 'Save Instrument' button at the bottom of the Instrument Browser
