The image below is the opening screen I get when I launch GarageBand on my new MacBook Silicon M2. It should be the GarageBand main menu. I deleted the app, reloaded it from the App Store and still get this image that will not allow me into GarageBand. Am I missing a command? I've used GarageBand for many years and never had this problem till now. Next stop will be Apple Support unless someone here has a suggestion of how to correct this.
MacBook Air
I found the answer from Apple Support. Mac versions of GarageBand are not the same as iPad as I am accustom to. The iPad version opens up with a selection of virtual instruments and allows for audio, drum tracks, as with the above menu. Mac versions do not contain virtual instruments and is more of a kind of recording studio software. I think I may be able to move my projects over from the iPad to my Mac but only for playing, not editing. I have been schooled.
I hope to get a new iPad in Sept. (mine is ancient) and continue from there.

If I select one of the above 3 options, it remains stuck on that recording mode. I cannot back out or go to any other portion of GarageBand to start building a new song or transferring my old files onto my new MacBook.
