GarageBand crashes when I try importing audio files or click GarageBand Library button

GarageBand crashes every time I try to import/drag and drop any audio file into any open project. I use iCloud for some GarageBand projects in order to switch from laptop and desktop and Garageband doesn't crash on my iMac when I import audio files.

Just for clarification, its with any audio file (loops, effects, mp3, aif, wav) from any location, even the GarageBand Library that is integrated within the app (but it does not even open the library). It immediately crashes and a pop up shows up saying "Garageband quit unexpectedly. Click reopen to open the application again." So I do and everything is fine until I click the library icon on the right of the app, or try to drag and drop from finder/music/desktop/iCloud or anywhere else.

Below I put my laptops info, and some info from the crash dialog that I think might be important, but not sure what is necessary or unnecessary. & The issue has been happening before the latest update and has no change after updating.

THANK YOU !
