If all or most of your music is grayed out

Both the new 10,2 and an old 6.5 won’t perform musical typing — the window comes up, but it’s grayed out. I’ve uninstalled and redownloaded and checks the connections. I’ve turned it off and on again. There may also be problems with headroom, leading to distortion, with high-level sound sources. So to resolve this problem it is absolutely essential to record into GarageBand using an audio interface with an integrated microphone preamplifier. This preamplifier must have an XLR input connector and it also must have phantom power available.

If it's taking a long time to upload your music library

If most of your music was imported from sources other than Apple Music, or you have a large music library, it might take more time for your music library to upload.

Make sure that your computer is authorized so any music that you previously purchased from the iTunes Store can be uploaded. Then follow these steps:

  1. Connect your Mac or PC to the internet.
  2. Open the Apple Music app or iTunes.
  3. On your Mac, make sure that Sync Library is turned on. On your PC, make sure that iCloud Music Library is turned on.
  4. Keep the Apple Music app or iTunes open until your music library is finished uploading.

If a song is still grayed out after your music library is uploaded, import a new copy of the song into your music library. Then in the Apple Music app or iTunes, go to the menu bar and choose File > Library > Update Cloud Library.

If a song can't be uploaded with Apple Music or iTunes Match

If you see next to a song, then that song might be ineligible for upload. Learn why.

If a song isn't available in Apple Music

Some songs or albums might be grayed out because they're not currently available in Apple Music. Here are some reasons why:

  • Artists and content providers might release some songs from an album in advance, but not all of them. If you add the entire album to your library, the songs will become available as they're released.
  • Artists and content providers might change or remove music from the Apple Music catalog. Search Apple Music to see if that song is available under a different name or file. If it is, add the song to your library so it's no longer grayed out.
  • The song might not be available in your country or region and will appear in gray text when you search for it in Apple Music.
  • If an explicit song is grayed out, you might have restrictions turned on for your device. You can use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or Screen Time on your Mac to turn off restrictions. You can also add the clean version from Apple Music to your library.

My Garageband masterbus is running a little hot in the red with all the tracks filling up. I try to turn down the masterfader, but it´s transparrent, and can not be moved ??

How do you adjust the volume of the summed output of your tracks, or is there a way to grab all of the faders and slide them down in one go, so their individual volume is preserved ??

Don´t you just love greyed out stuff in software! Why is it there if it does not do anything, what box did I not tick or what or how or when????. If it was an adventure game it would be a fine challenge but otherwise - yuk !!!

  • It’s greyed when you’re connected to a usb interface. You have to adjust the overall level there.

    If it wasn’t greyed out, then you’d be able to move the slider, and it would do nothing. that would be even more confusing.

  • From what I can remember, that control is just for changing the device volume and is probably greyed out because you have an audio interface plugged in?

    GarageBand doesn't have an actual master fader (no, I'm not kidding!)

  • There is a hack to get a kind of master fader:
    Hit the FX button at the top to get that DJ fx thing and record some automation with it. Delete the automation track. In that track you now have an EQ and you can use the gain setting on it to change the master volume.

  • Ah Ok! No master bus/fader I´ll try the hack - next time I will not start with the faders in unity

    Thanks a lot !!

    Very slick. I love it.
