Why a few recorded tracks "empty" when I opened the Garageband projects on another machine?

Hey

I have just updated my laptop to be able to run the same version of GarageBand on my iMac and MacBook (OS X El Capitan and GarageBand v.6.0.5) and work on projects of GB on what that machine is available.

I just tried to open a few GB on my MacBook projects (both were created on my iMac) and the recorded vocal tracks are "empty", as below.  The track from the top (purple) is any wav. file and the blue trace below is the vocal track, although it says "file not found".

I copied the root folder where I save all my records in GB on my iMac to Dropbox so I could open projects GB on my laptop, so all audio files must be in the same place.  Or I make a stupid mistake?  It's really quite likely, but any help is very welcome!

Thank you

Rich

I copied the root folder where I save all my records in GB on my iMac to Dropbox so I could open projects GB on my laptop, so all audio files must be in the same place.

The problem could be the DropBox synchronization. DropBox is ideal for simple documents, but your GarageBand projects are files with databases and multimedia files inside. Synchronization can break the connection between the media files and internal databases.

If you want to transfer projects with Dropbox, it is safest to compress the projects and move to archive compressed to dropbox.

But see, if the media are still inside the Garageband project. Perhaps the download was not complete.

  • CTRL-click the .band file and select "Show Package Contents".
  • In the Finder window that opens, select the "Media" folder
  • Copy the audio files in this folder to a folder on your desktop.
  • Try to identify the missing audio file.  If you can find it, drag it to the track where it is absent.
