Q: MIDI Drum Mix & Master Track Smart Controls Missing

Hello, all,

 

I've been working on a project in the most recent version of GarageBand.  I opened the project today to do a little work and encountered a few issues:

 

  • The MIDI Drum mix/effects panel (the one that appears after clicking the Smart Controls icon) shows as blank so I'm unable to adjust the mix of the track or the applied effects.

  • Similar instance, but this time with the Master Track.  I can open the Show Inspector panel to add and adjust effects with no issue through, but they won't show up otherwise:

I'm able to adjust the effects on other MIDI tracks and audio tracks under Smart Controls with no issues.

 

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

 

Thanks!

    Update: Was able to fix the MIDI Drum track issue by creating a new track and moving the MIDI track to it.  Also, when switching from the Master Track to a new track, the effects knobs appear briefly as the track is switching, but still don't appear whenever I switch back to the Master.
