Jacob Collier Audience choir not working with Garage Band

I downloaded the Jacob Collier Audience Choir from Native Instruments, and I have Kontakt 8 installed, version 8.8.0. All the features work fine as a standalone.

I want to use it with Garage Band. I am running MacOS Sequoia 15.7.3. I gave full disk access to Native, NTKDaemon and Kontakt 8. I created a midi file, selected Kontakt 8 stereo as a plug in. I can record on that track using either the Kontakt player keyboard or an external keyboard and the midi. I can see the notes showing in the Garage Band track. So Midi information is sent from Kontakt to Garage Band. But when I hit play in Garage Band I don't get any sound. However if I choose a different plug-in I do have a sound.I suspect it is an issue with the plug in parameters as they are all empty (see screenshot). For all the other plug ins there are some information in this parameters window, but not for Kontakt.

@Jeflat Check the settings in Garegband and make sure this box is unticked:

Once this is unticked you should see Kontakt 8's user interface again.

Try also adding apps to the DAW And if using Sequoia/Tahoe then N.I. apps and DAW must be added to the Local Network (Ref.: How to grant audio apps access to your local network on mac OS 15 Sequoia).

Also double check your Kontakt 8 standalone and DAW sound settings

Also , I am not sure of result of if you are trying to use Kontakt 8 standalone (???) with DAW , are you using Kontakt 8 standalone or plugin ???

Thanks for your reply.

When I am using Kontact 8 player, as a standalone, with the Jacob Collier Audience Choir, everything works fine.

When I used Kontakt 8 as a plug in in Garage Band, I do not get any sound.

I have NTKDaemon added to the local network, but I can't add any other app (NI or Garage Band) to the Local Network even if I follow the procedure you mentioned. They just don't appear in the Local Network window so I can't toggle them on.
