How to Use voxReducer With Garage Band

GarageBand is music creation software that enables you to generate, edit and master musical compositions. The digital interface on GarageBand allows you to load external sound files, such as VST and AU plugins. VoxReducer, which is an audio plugin, is designed to reduce the main vocal levels on an audio track. In order to load the plugin into GarageBand, you must first adjust the effects menu for each track. Audio plugins can only be used on previously composed audio in formats such as WAV, MP3 and MIDI.
