Apparently Garageband updated itself in the background today & is no longer working with Big Sur

The entire program!

It simply bounces a couple of times then freezes/"not responding".

I bought a Native Instruments M32 Controller a while back & it came with barrows full of software including Cubase, Steinberg etc. I've had everything working but tended to stay away from said "extras", using only Garageband for recording Vox, Guitars & Bass... I want to uninstsall & reinstall but not sure if it will work.

I don't keep (have) a backup system but I WILL be buying an external HD asap.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks,

Dale

Thanks Keith,

I did this & it didn't help - I ended up calling Apple & after nearly an hour we worked out that it was, more than likely, an issue with 3rd party software that was interfering.

Steinberg software was the culprit - asking for eLicense renewal (which I had no idea about) futhermore, I couldn't find the process on doing so.

I've deleted ALL 3rd party software, restarted the mac & hey presto... I have Garageband!

Will definitely remember this one - I've contacted Steinberg & Native Instruments who need to be aware this is a big issue.

Cheers

Big Sur 11.6

GB 10.4.4

Yes, I'm going to get one next week - I've been too trusting for too long.
