I dont know what version of garage band you are using, but I was able to get my eleven rack to play and record through GB '09 (i have a mac mini running os 10.9.4 with 11r, no protools though). I had to change the inputs to 3 and 4 of the 11r (I don't know what the input/output assignment is for the 11r bc I don't know GB that well). The tab for me to change inputs was on the (i) button on the lower right hand side of the screen, that opened a column on the right side of the screen and towards the bottom of that column there is a dropdown menu called input source. I just selected 3/4 and I could see the levels in my meters and track. This is of course after selecting the 11r as the input device in the audio page of the preferences menu. This should work for you unless they drastically changed how the screen looks in newer GB versions. I hope this helps!
