You have no idea what a saviour this video is! I recorded a full online course of hours and hours of content, and it was all lost because of this issue. You are a hero! 🦸‍♂️

[CherryBeScary]

Omg, it worked! I was so freaking worried that I never even considered duplicating the tracks. Thank you so much!

[hansrossouw]

Thanks Pete for the advice. I used the duplicating method and it worked for me. I worked hard on these tracks and couldn’t afford to loose it with the energy and time spend on it. You’ve been a great help!!!👍

I swear sometimes I hate Apple products. Thanks for this video. This should be so much easier. I mean press record, record.. press play, play.. wth. Frustrating.

I got this issue on M1 Mac Book Pro as well and the fix suggested here worked. Thanks

[ernieblue]

I took the time to try the track duplicating method only to discover that ultimately it didn’t work.
I finally solved my problem by simply turning up the main volume control slider in the Garage Band application.
The controller should be marked as a volume control but it is not.
It would be helpful to some viewers if that simple fix were mentioned in the video before the other, more complex solutions.

Hey Pete...Bob Cheevers in Austin Texas. TONIGHT YOU ARE MY HEARO. I've lost tracks before under these conditions and lost part of my mind but tonight...TONIGHT I FOUND YOUR THANG HERE AND YOU GET THE MEDAL OF HONOR. CIAO

When you click the volume setting (iOs Mobile) you’ll be able to pull a tab out to reveal more settings for each individual track- make sure none are
on the headphone setting, even if you’re using headphones, (or maybe make sure you don’t change any settings after you start building your tracks) and everything should go back to normal. Thanks for the video! Helped me troubleshoot the problem super quickly!

If only I had this video a few weeks ago...
Thank you very much! Now I know what to do next time it happens.

[jamgarciafy]

That worked! Tried everything even conversions but this solved it, thank you.

[andrewbunting]

Great thank you - so useful - my track just wouldn't play the first note when I bounced down to mp3, but I tried your technique and it sorted it.

[zucynical]

u just saved my life thank you so much sir

[blakebautista]

I have the beat I want but when I add my Audio track for vocals it doesn’t work and I can’t hear anything

[DJ_StephenMarsh]

Just had this occur! All of my in app instruments went dead. Came to you for a solution. As I went to use your method I accidentally hit the.... “play instrument” button on top left of the menu for each track and it restored them.

[billbunkum]

Thanks for the info. My issue was a bit simpler. I had done a Volume 'automation' on the track earlier and didn't realize it was turned all the way down later on! ;P

[HeavenlyCrusade]

Turns out I didn’t have this problem, but it was a “Fade out” switch glitch. This video will come handy someday.

[InkEater]

Hey Man I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this video I had this problem and I did what you said and It worked:) Thanks a heaps man:)

[msavageunknown]

Thank you very much for posting this video... it really helped me with my same problem with my tracks! God speed bro!

[colincolville]

thank you so much as one of my best new projects had this problem with all tracks except of the melody line.
Great tip and a pity we don't know why's as well as the meaning of life... LOL
