Garage band question?
Hi, been off music for quite some time, but have just returned to these excellent instruments.
Managed to get everything set up and upgraded, but am having a problem with how the Swam engine is displayed in Garage band.
The engine is displayed, but the top is covered by a grey strip .... it has a box for selection and a drop down box for "Manual" or "Make Preset" and I can't make it go away LOL.
You may have guessed I don't normally use Mac ... so any suggestion to get rid of the F$£%()& grey strip appreciated, before I go insane LOL.
Regards pete.

I used garage band before I stopped playing quite awhile back and I didn't have this problem ... I only ever used the Mac mini for music so it has not been used for sometime ... On re-using the mac I was prompted to install updates ... I am assuming Garage band was updated?
It's pretty daft really, as all the top/important controllers are covered, I can't even choose wind controller?
Maybe someone could suggest some alternative hosts? Please, this is driving me nuts LOL.

You can also do fully functional trial of Reaper for free and it is cross platform and popular for live and studio recording on both PC and Mac. Very light on system resources, very reliable for live playing and have well established community online (this is my VSTi host of choice)
What is your screen resolution?
SWAM plugins display correctly on a 13" 1280x800 px MacBook Pro.
If you have OSX Lion or above (if I am not wrong), you can put the application in fullscreen mode (top-right double arrow) gaining some pixel.
What version of Garageband are you using?
Plugin windows in Garageband X have a little gray button (top-right) to reduce that dark gray bar over the plugin GUI (see the attached pictures).
Best Regards,

As you can see from the screenshot it makes samplemodeling unusable. I am using a mac mini attached to a 50" smart TV, I don't think screen resolution is the problem, but Garage band?
I am using garage band 11 version 6.0. 05
