Garageband may stop recording after you hit eight bars of music. When this happens, you need to go into the settings to increase the recording time. To do this, click on the + button near the slider at the top of the recording screen. Tap on the Section A 8 Bars button and it will pull up a window called Section Length. Switch the button from Manual to Automatic. This will stop Garageband from automatically ending the recording time after eight seconds and you can record for however long you like.

Why Doesn’t Garageband Open on iOS 14?
Sometimes Garageband software doesn’t open as expected on your computer. When this happens, Apple suggests doing the following to determine the root of the problem and to fix it. First, restart your Mac to see if that fixes the problem. If that doesn’t work, update Garageband using the App Store. If you are using an external device or interface that does not work with Garageband, it will cause issues. Check with Garageband to see if they are compatible. If they aren’t, try using Mac’s own built-in audio instead. You will need to reset your preferences in Garageband by selecting Audio/MIDI in the Preferences section. Then, choose built-in output and built-in input. Try opening the project again to see if that fixed the issue. If these issues still do not resolve after all these steps are taken, contact Garageband and then Apple Support to identify the issue.
