Music memos recording 53 min, doesnt load.

made a music memo 53min long so I could have it in GarageBand. Now the app just does a crash when I try to open this memo. There is a "spinning loading symbol" and then the whole app just exits to desktop.


what can I do? how can I access this file? It was a really good jam 🙂

There is no maximum record length documented for Music Memos, but GarageBand on iOS has a maximum record length of 320 bars. At the minimum tempo of 40 bpm you could have 10 bars per minute with a 4/4 signature, and record no longer than 32 minutes.


I'm not sure if this limit still applies to the current version of GarageBand iOS, but that is the last information on the record length I could find. If this limits still holds, GarageBand will not be able to open a 53min memo.
