Split track error

I had a weird one the other day. I had imported an mp3 into GB of a radio program I had been a guest of, which was about 45 minutes long. When I started editing it, I used split track at the first edit mark, but as soon as I did that, the portion of the track after the playhead disappeared. Normally I can select which side of the track I want to delete, but this was automatically deleting everything after the playhead.

Any ideas?

Has anyone had a fix for this? I edited something on Friday with no problems, but today I'm getting this issue. Garageband is deleting everything after the first split track mark.
Any ideas? Anyone?
Thanks...

I'm having the same problem. I've tried doing it on my Dual 2.5 G5 and also my MacBookPro. This is a horrible glitch to deal with!

Hi Paul,

First, you should save every five minutes or so. Good habit to be in. The reason is when things like this happen and undo doesn't fix the problem, you can close the song and it will ask if you want to save the changes. You need to select no. Then when you re-open the song, the file will be intact (unless the song file is corrupt).

For your issue, Iw ould do a search for ".plist," find the one realted to Garageband and trash it. Do another search for ".cs," find the one related to garageband, and trash it. (Garageband will create new versions on it's next start up.) Restart your computer and try GB again.

Good Luck Paul, let us know how this works out for you.
