Hello,


What you are facing is Auto-Normalize.

to fix the volume in garageband on Mac:

Click GarageBand at the top left of your screen.

Click Preferences (or Settings).

Click the Advanced tab.

Find Auto-Normalize and uncheck the box next to Export projects at full volume


Thanks, and I hope this helps
