Under “Sound Generator” (which is GarageBand’s way of inserting virtual instruments) please select “none”
from the list; this will allow the track to function, but cost you no CPU power.
Below the generator section is the “Effects” section. Since this track isn’t passing audio, go ahead and remove
the checkmarks from: Compressor, Visual EQ, Echo and Reverb. This will also save you some CPU.
In the effects section, there are four empty slots – this is where you can insert 3rd party AU plug-ins. Move your
mouse over a slot and it will read “Click here to add an effect”. Click on the slot and you will see a propagated
list of all you’re your AU plug-ins. Scroll down until you see “MIOConsoleConnect”. Selecting the plug-in will
automatically instantiate the plug in window for the MIOConsole.
