Garageband Crashing when Kontakt 7 installed

sheamond

I have Garageband 10.4.8 on a 2021 iMac with Ventura. When I go to open certain projects in Garageband it quits as it begins to load. I have tried re-installing Garageband as well as all Native Instruments software on my computer and this issue is still happening. Have tried giving Full Disk Access and reinitializing the database. NI software all work fine stand alone and Garageband has no problems when NI software is not installed.

Currently have Kontakt 7 installed but this has been happening with other NI applications installed also.

It's not related to the number of tracks I have as it crashes on projects with one empty track.

Any suggestions? This is quite frustrating

Check if Jeremy’s suggestions there are helpful

Yes you’re right, thank you. Looks to be the same issue. I’ve asked for an update on how they fixed it as it seems like the specialists had to work their magic

I have followed all the Kontakt crash advice - all steps and gave full access etc and while I am in GarageBand I start playing and computer reboots in the middle
