I’m quite a novice at this but how do I duplicate a Projects so I have two copies. My project is a piano piece that has about five or six different tracks I want the whole thing duplicated so I can save one and work on the other one
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6
You can duplicate a project simply in the Finder.
Quittung GarageBand , if it is running, then select the project in the Finder and use the command "File > Duplicate" from the main menu bar. Or simply the keyboard shortcut ⌘D .

Another option is the "Save As" function. From the main Garageband menu at the top choose, File, Save As, and name it a different name. The original will be saved with the original name and the new-named file will be saved with the new name.
For me, the option of naming it something different is perfect, brilliant! So, is there a way to condense the tracks horizontally so they are thinner across. I'm doing a piece that only has about 10 tracks and a couple of vocals but I can't see all the tracks at once to see when to come on the vocal part. Thanks.
On the upper right of the garage band screen there are two important small controls. One is a little slider in a frame. It is used to squash or expand the project tracks horizontally. So, you can zoom out to see the tracks from beginning to end in their entirety in the project window - or you can zoom in if you have to work on a specific more detailed part.
The other is a little triangle thingy that's often hard to click on because they put is so close to the other one. It's a little bit above and to the right of the aforementioned control. Sometimes you have to zoom out to see the entire project to see it.
This is the stop point. When exporting a project this is where the time bar will stop. Just click, hold and drag it. Once it is set at the end of the tracks, the tracks will always tend to fill the project window completely.
Happy recording. It's a great blessing to be able to do so much on this great DAW (digital analog workstation) called Garageband.
