Volume markers driving me crazy

I'm wondering if by "volume markers" you mean the function Garageband calls "automation". Automation puts a line in the region and allows you to place points along it to change the track volume. I believe if you right click on the track or region a contextual region allows you to "delete all automation on this track", or something like that. There is also a control that allows setting the automation to move with the region, if you move a region, so the volume automation doesn't get misaligned.

Hi there Al_Chance,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. You can delete these arrangements markers following the guidance from the Apple Support article:

"In GarageBand on Mac, select the arrangement marker, then press Delete to delete the regions in the Tracks area below the arrangement marker so it’s empty. Press Delete again to delete the arrangement marker."

Further details, including how to adjust the settings are found here:

Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions.

Best regards!

Hello Al_Chance,

Unselecting the "Show Arrangement Track" option may help. The guide page here can assist: Add arrangement markers in GarageBand on Mac - Apple Support

However, you can also submit feature feedback here: Feedback - GarageBand - Apple

Best.

I'm glad that helped. As you have found, whenever automation is turned on and you click in a region the normally faint volume line becomes brightly highlighted and automation becomes activated on that track. Dang, that can be distracting!

Hi Al_Chance,

At this point we recommend reaching out to Apple Support. Use this link: Contact - Official Apple Support

Good luck!
