I'm using Big Sur. Can I upload the old version of Garage Band? I can't quite figure out how to work the new version, but was comfortable on the old one.

iMac 27″, macOS 11.4

Older version of GarageBand I upgraded from an older MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Air and have had nothing but problems. I still have the MacBook Pro, which is running Big Sur, but when I cleaned it out the GarageBand app was deleted. Is there any way to find and download an older version of GarageBand that will run in a 2014 MacBook Pro running Big Sur? If so I'll simply go back to the old computer for music production.

Need Garageband for Catalina I just upgraded a 2016 iMac, reluctantly, from Mojave to Catalina to solve an iCloud connection issue on the advice of an Apple Tech. So I have to purchase new versions of several apps. But I can't use the current version of Garageband! It needs Big Sur. I don't want to buy a new version of Parallels and who knows how many other apps that won't run on Big Sur. I'm sure there must be the previous version of Garageband somewhere in the Apple system - how do I download it? All I want is the APPLE app that is compatible with my currently-supported APPLE operating system. Is that too much to ask?

If you had it in the past you should be able to download it from your purchases on the. App Store (click your name at the bottom).

Thank you ~ I'll give it a try.
