Thanks Lew, I started having an issue last night where I would do a save command on a project and it would crash and reset. Happened 3 times in a row. When it came back up it then said the MIDI function was unavailable (which I wasn't even using). Will give the re-install a try tonight, sounds like the best solution.

Thank you bro 2 years later and this still works! Subbed today! Thanks again

holy crap, I was so worried because my midi keyboards stopped working OUT OF NOWHERE! but once I quit garageband and opened it again, I had to install a sound package which was strange. but after that, it worked!! thanks so much for the video :)

Dear Garagebandandbeyond,

You sir are a GOATed (Greatest Of All Time-ed) individual, you have saved me from very much frustration.

After trying all other tips and tricks I could to find online solve the issue of no sound on any of my tracks (a few frustrating hours) I watched this and reinstalled garageband....a few minutes later all tracks had sound and my problem was solved. THANK YOU!!!

Still works like a charm. :) Thank you. the most recent update was buggy and the MIDI ins were goofy - as if every note was doubled and sustained. I went to the interface website to make sure I had the most recent drivers - did the update... but it was a waste of time. I deleted then reinstalled - perfect and I only wish I had did it sooner. Much appreciation - you have yourself a grateful subscriber.

Hi, is this the same for GarageBand on iPad? I’m having some weird problems but I’m terrified I’ll lose everything if I delete and reinstall. Thanks!

Have you experienced any trouble recording MIDI with an electronic drum set? I set it up in garageband and the midi drum track sound drops out after 3-5 secs every time. I switch over to a synthesizer midi and that lets me play the drums fine without dropping out. Garageband still sees the kit and the midi signal and even lets me record but the sound drops out. Reinstall didn't help.

Thanks so much - worked like a charm. I had jumpy audio but I know the MP3 was fine. Your trick solved it - many thanks!

I've got a question: How do you add controls to the panel display in the Smart Controls menu? I've done it on accident numerous times but I can't deliberately do it when I actually need to.

Can I not listen to the guitar through the iPad whilst recording? I’m using a behringer umc22... or do I need an output from the device

[barneymiller]

What if you've added a bunch of sounds from Logic and MainStage? Will you have to reimport those too?

[dwaynerogers]

Thank you, very frustrating until I found your pcast. Awesome advice, saves your previous material and voila" there it is.

Thanks for this. But I just started using Garage Band and recorded a piano track. The first time I recorded everything was fine. Then I recorded again, and now GarageBand plays back all of the half notes as broken up as if they are 16th notes. Like chords are now running 16th notes. Cannot even figure out what is different. Thoughts? Thanks.

My mic is lighting up which means it's on however Garageband isn't connecting with it. I recorded songs before but it suddenly stopped working. Do u know what to do? im so lost lol

Help….since updating to GB 10.3….I am unable to load any of my previously downloaded 3rd party plugins…is this an update bug?

[trainingtidbits]

Oh.my.gosh. Jacked around for 30min, found your vid, and this is what worked. Smh. Thanks for vid.

[gradyburlsworth]

I recently installed GB on a different device and I'm experiencing twomproblems. The autotune does not appear like normal and when I click on Show Smart Controls my eq knobs are not displaying in the lower right hand like normal. Just a black screen. I will try your fix and see if it works. Thanks.

I can't believe it. I have some music I want done by next week and my entire project had crapped itself. The project would start slowing down after a few seconds and then start dropping notes and drum beats. I copied it all into a new project and the issue persisted. This fixed everything. It's saved me hours of faffing about and pulling whats left of my hair out! Thanks!

[ATFudgeAirsoft]

Thanks worth a try! I can’t get audio into my headphones and I’m using a condenser mic, audient id 14 and dt 770 headphones. I can hear the click track but not myself or recorded audio?
