Gravity Feed for GarageBand

How to use Gravity Feed plans with GarageBand, which is best for listening and manual use.

This guide explains how GarageBand can work with Spatial9 Gravity Feed. Status: documented route, listening only. GarageBand hosts Audio Unit plugins with limited automation and no scripting or controller mapping suited to writing plans, so it is best for hearing ideas, not committing them.

How to use Gravity Feed with GarageBand

  1. Open the playground and describe your section, or call the API from your own tool.
  2. Read the alternatives: each change has a position and a plain-language reason.
  3. Apply the positions you like with an AU spatial plugin or GarageBand's pan controls, and draw any movement you want with automation by hand.

When to move to another DAW

If you want plans written as automation automatically, move the project to Logic Pro or REAPER. The REAPER prototype is the closest to automatic today.

FAQ

Can GarageBand play 3D audio?

GarageBand is a stereo application. Use binaural or spatial plugins for headphone listening, or a full DAW for immersive delivery.

Is there a GarageBand integration planned?

Not specifically. The planned Gravity Capture plugin targets hosts with full automation support first.
