iMac 2019 Garageband freeze SSD needed

[jimmyjazzz]

Hi all

I have a 2019 21.5 inch machine
3.6 GHz Quad Core Intel Core i3
8GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Never liked it since buying it but can't afford to buy new yet.

Garageband freezes all the time and always has.

I can give more details if required but any help would be great.

Cheers for advice

Jimmy

What troubleshooting have you already done?

I remember when I first bought it I had Apple Care and they tweaked around with it over the phone. Not sure whether anything changed if it did it didnt change for good, (I never used it much until I retired last year).

Chat gpt sends me round in circles and tries to get me to 'freeze tracks' which you can't do or 'GarageBand > Preferences > Audio/MIDI, increase the Buffer Size' which you also can't do.

Then it goes on to tell me that I should convert midi tracks to audio files which is not the point.

The message I get every time it freezes is attached
