After trying the demo version, I bought the paid version so I can save presets. I successfully saved my first preset, but when I try to load it GarageBand crashes. I can still load the presets that came with Allto

More info: I looked at the contents of the preset file and it was missing the closing plist tag. This was easy to fix with a text editor, but I hope this does not happen every time I save a preset.
I just tried saving and reloading my preset from GarageBand and it worked here. I'm hoping your preset file got corrupted somehow. If this keeps happening, let me know and I'll look into it ASAP.
