Presets and sounds sculpted by some of the brightest and best composers, engineers and musicians on the planet.

Sounds pretty good, right? How much would you be willing to pay for something like that?

This is LABS from Spitfire Audio, An infinite series of free software instruments, made by musicians and sampling experts in London, for anyone, anywhere.

It is, in my opinion, essential and the best free instrument plugin for any GarageBand music maker. The best part about LABS? It’s completely free.

In the video below, discover how to install LABS, how to use it in GarageBand and some of my favourite free instrument sounds.

I like nearly all of Apple’s $99 Jam Pack add-on sound libraries for GarageBand (Voices doesn’t do a lot for me), but I also like free. And when I think free and GarageBand I think SoundFonts, E-mu Systems’ sampled sound file format—a software instrument format supported by GarageBand.

Here’s how to obtain and install SoundFonts:

1. Google “soundfont” to find one of the many sites that offer free SoundFonts—HammerSound is a good place to start.

2. Once you’ve downloaded a few SoundFonts, place them in this directory: /Library/Audio/Sounds/Banks.

3. In GarageBand create a new Software Instrument track, click the Details triangle, and from the Instrument Generator pop-up menu choose DLSMusicDevice and click the Edit button next to it.

4. In the window that appears, choose your SoundFont from the Sound Bank pop-up menu to play that sound.

Note that not all SoundFonts are compatible with the Mac OS. I’ve also found that GarageBand is happier if the SoundFont extension is spelled .sf2 rather than .SF2.

Also note that SoundFont files are often compressed in the RAR format. You can expand them using a tool such as the donation-ware UnRarX.
