GarageBand only allows "offline" automation (entering Control Points with the mouse)

For "online" automation (move the fader or controls and it records the Control Points automatically), you have to use Logic.

Hope that helps

Thanks Edgar. Can You answer this 1 :

Anybody out there know why I recorded a song on garageband. Then one day I opened it up and it only plays in the left signal volume output.? What didi I do and does anyone know how to render this. It has not happened to any of my other saved projects? Appreciate if you can.

If you end up with a mix that has only one channel then you cn put it back into a Project and pan it to the center so it comes out on both channels. However, that would be a bad band aid solution.

The question is still what happened to the other channel. FIrst of all you would loose that information and the "remixed" signal would be in mono. (left and right channel carrying the same identical signal)
