Garageband 10.0.1 New track with duplicate settings is not allowing effects in

When I use the "New track with duplicate setting"

It will not allow effects on that new track that was created.

If I just create a new track with the + button it is fine.



The problem is I have already recorded all the tracks and the artists have all gone home.


Anyone know of a work around till this gets fixed?

Yes I got a solution


First of all, it seems that this is a GarageBand bug. I can confirm that it behaves that way also on my machine (BTW same procedure in Logic, works fine)


Here is an easy fix: Create a single Automation Control Point, that will stick.

  1. On the duplicate Track, enable Track Automation
  2. Select from the Automation Parameter the “Ambience” (or the other one that doesn’t stick)
  3. Click anywhere in the Automation Lane to the right
  4. This will create a single Automation Control Point at the bar 1
  5. As long as you keep only that one Control Point, you can still change the Parameter with the Screen Control (you can hide Automation after that)
  6. When you switch back and forth, you see that the Ambience Screen Control jumps back to zero, but don't worry, when you start playback, it gets kicked his *** back up to the level where it is supposed to be.

(I will explain the Automation and all the rest of the new features and details in my new GarageBand X book, available very soon.)


Hope that helps
