Where are my cool looking controls in Garageband 10?

ALRIGHT.... Last post I swear... thanks for your patience. I was able to get a copy of 10.4.3.... this is updated enough that it fixes the bug, but not so updated that you can only run it on Big Sur. So that seems to be the only thing I know that works. You have to update the software.

Thanks again.

Hi. Thanks for your response. Yes I’ve tried all that. I can get different user patches, and the amps and effects work fine. But there are no controls for the tracks. I should be seeing the knobs for virtual instruments, effects for vocals, and the drummer tracks as well. I can see EQ when I switch but no controls. I’ve read that this is a common problem and all you need to do is update the app, however that is an impossibility since it is an older copy of GB. It’s because my computer is to old to run Big Sur which you need for the latest GB. So that is why I have the older GB on Catalina. Thanks.

I would say it's too big of a thing to just overlook. If it's only for looks, and there are other ways to access those controls and plug ins... that is one thing. But it seems to me, that as far as general EQing and controls go for say the virtual instruments... you can't access that anywhere else. Well maybe EQ on the EQ side, but I can't seem to find another way to adjust say the "bell" or "Ambience" of say a "Classic Electric Piano". Again, maybe I'm wrong about that, but are these Graphic interfaces for the smart controls completely necessary? If not, no big deal. But if they are, I'm going to upgrade to Logic.

Nevermind. Forget Garageband. I'm upgrading to Logic Pro. More Loops. More Plug Ins. More stuff. And conrtols that are actually there.
