Hey there BBopbracco1,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. If having issues with GarageBand not working as expected, give the steps in the following resource a try that can help: If GarageBand isn't working on your Mac - Apple Support


Try these steps in order
After trying each step below, test GarageBand again to see if you've fixed your issue. 

Restart your Mac
Choose Restart from the Apple menu .

Update GarageBand
Choose Apple menu  > App Store, then click Updates in the toolbar. If a GarageBand update is available, click the Update button to download and install it.

Check device or software compatibility
If you're using an external audio interface, MIDI interface, storage system, control surface, or plug-in not made by Apple, make sure that it’s compatible with the latest version of GarageBand. Contact the manufacturer for support. If an update is available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to update the device or software.


You can find the first few steps above, just be sure to open the link for additional steps if still running into issues.


If still having issues after the steps above, check out this additional link that may be able to help: GarageBand for iOS and OS X: Tracks might be silent - Apple Support


Keep us updated on the results.


Take care!
