Troubleshooting Common Problems in Garage Band:

Problem:

Solution:

'Reset to "0" Bug':
(Mod Wheel Data resets to "0" whenever you hit stop).

NOTE: This bug has been fixed in Apple's Logic 7 but has not yet been extended to Garage Band. As a workaround use the X-Custom folder available at the update section of our website.

This is a concern with GPO which relies heavily on the mod wheel. The design of Garage Band is such that the the Mod wheel resets whenever you hit stop. Since ModWheel controls volume, users can't hear their music when they hit play again. We spoke with Apple/Emagic and was advised that the logic reset to "0" bug will be fixed in the next version release of logic. The user will have the option in preferences to cofigure logic to retain current controller settings or to reset them.

USER WORKAROUND: Submitted by Peter Delano
Peter Delano has created Logic Environment files as a workaround. These will inset MIDI data at the beginning of the track to avoid the reset to "0" bug. These files are provided above.
