Garageband constantly losing audio regions

Hi all


Since switching to Garageband 10.0.3 from the old version, I've found that it crashes regularly and then when it reopens will typically lose beween 1-5 audio regions, apparently randomly. Fortunately, I "save as" a lot allowing me to manually restore regions from older versions of the same project but frankly having to create 8 seperate projects as "takes" just to slowly build 20 minutes of stable audio is getting me down and wasting hours of time. Shutting down computer, restarting, reinstalling hasn't helped make Garageband any more stable.


The Mac I'm using as a new intel iMac running OSX 10.9.5 with 16GB of RAM.


As a weekly podcaster this is exceptionally annoying.


Any help, guidance much appreciated!


Cheers

A

Which version did you upgrade from? Do you have any audio plug-ins installed? Some older audio units and VST plug-ins can make GarageBand crash.

Could you post a crash log, so we can see the error message? The first fifty lines should suffice.

Thanks for the prompt reponse, Léonie!


Last version was Garageband 6 (on a different computer). No audio plugins (that I'm aware of!) although I have imported the old loops. Latest crash log began as follows:
