Voiceover trouble in garageband 10.0.1

Question

Hi, I am blind and uses voiceover to navigate my mac. I found voiceover and mac most more useful than windows machines and all the software that made from apple like the ilife package works perfectly. I am playing some instruments and also uses garageband to record my EP-s. I used garageband 6.0.5 and everything works perfectly. I had to use the cmd-option-shift-arrowkeys to navigate to the effectaddingpanel and other things in the edit panel. You know when you can choose the two options navigate or edit. I also used that voiceover key combination to find the volume and pan contral for the tracks.
One more thing that is really helpful to me is the keyboard shortcuts for example r for record and z for go to beginning of tracks and space for play and pause. Now i have updated to garageband 10.0.1 and the screen is sat up in a different way so now i don’t understand a thing of what i can do to find this panels with effects and volume controls for eatch track. Also the keyboard shortcuts dosnt work. Can you please help me with my problem and tie me a list over the new shortcuts?
I understand that it is much to ask about , but i really need this help to keep on working with music.

Marcus, there is a list of keyboard short cuts in the last item of the side bar in the Help menu for GarageBand -

Sorry, I never tried voice over, so I do not know the keyboard shortcuts for that part.
