Hi friend, I may be able to help you out eventually as I'm experimenting with garrage band now myself, but I have a favour to ask.
Could you please please please tell me how you managed to pan? The pan control in the track view is absolutely useless to me. VO simply will not use it, though it likes the volumes OK. Thanks and I hope I can trade back some knowhow down the road. Best, erik burggraaf A+ sertified technician and user support consultant.
