hello it's Patrick here from the GarageBandguide.com
so you've written your new magnum opus and recorded it using GarageBand you
have painstakingly tweaked and fiddled with your stones and are left with a
perfect mix what now how do you get your multitrack GarageBand project into
iTunes or uploaded to your favorite social platforms in this video I'm gonna
show you how to do exactly that
if this is your first time here and you want some master GarageBand improve your
music as well as learn all other kinds of useful GarageBand related stuff then
hit the subscribe button and ring the bell so you don't miss a thing there are
seven sharing options available to you in GarageBand share menu in the toolbar
and note that well you do have some iCloud specific options available to you
I'm not gonna touch on them here as get in to grips with using GarageBand and I
close in tandem there's a whole other kettle of fish worthy of a video of its
choosing to send your song to iTunes will surprise surprise have it show up
and your Mac's iTunes library before that happens though you'll need to
decide if you want to rename your song add metadata like artist or composer and
full and whether you'd like to add it directly to an existing playlist more
importantly you can choose whether you want your export to track to be
compressed to mp3 form or left completely uncompressed uncompressed
files retain all the audio fidelity of the original project but are larger in
size and as such will take up more space on your storage drive lastly you can
export any regions you have selected or a cycle area if active by clicking the
marked checkbox at the bottom
selecting this option will export your project directly into GarageBand Media
Browser from here you can access your exported song from the browser in other
garage band projects now honestly I have never used this option as I simply
haven't found a useful I rarely if ever import media from the Media Browser
itself preferring to drag and drop from finder
or my desktop and I think that's the story for most folks in the GarageBand
community let me know if I'm wrong though leave a comment if you use
GarageBand Media Browser on a regular basis
provided you have an existing account you can upload your project directly to
sent load when choosing this option you'll be prompted to log into your
soundcloud account once you've done that you'll be able to choose from a ton of
options relating to your upload similarly to uploading to iTunes you can
rename your project and enter artist composer info etc you can also control
some soundcloud specific options here from whether your track will be public
or private Plus download and streaming options like
exporting to iTunes you can choose to export selected regions on a cycle area
with the check box at the bottom
you can share either the GarageBand project file which is great for
collaborators or a mixed down version of your song to another Mac or iOS device
using airdrop note that you won't be able to open a Mac OS created GarageBand
project inside GarageBand for iOS in this fashion you'll need to use the
share project to iOS option to do this more on that later
simply select airdrop and select the device you wish to airdrop to from the
list that pops up
you can also send either a project file or mix down song via email once selected
you can change the title adjust the compression settings if exporting as a
mixed end song and choose whether to export selected regions or the full
shebang once done your exported project or song
will be added as an attachment to an email within your max meal
you can also simply export your song to your max harddrive exporting this way
allows you to manually add it to iTunes or upload it to Facebook Twitter and
other social platforms yourself like other exporting methods you have a
variety of options to choose from you can even choose where on your map you'd
like to save it to I find that saving to desktop is always
a handy option 99.9% of the time this is how I export my projects exporting the
file like this gives you the freedom to pick and choose when and how your song
will be shared on social media for example plus if you plan to release your
song either as a single or as part of an EP or album adding files from your
desktop documents or garage band folder or whatever you choose to export out to
is the most straightforward way
you can share a special GarageBand for iOS compatible version of your
GarageBand project to I close the project appears and the GarageBand my
songs browser on your iOS device as a new song with a single track containing
a mix of the entire GarageBand format project you can then add edit and
arrange new tracks in GarageBand for iOS and then share the updated song back to
iPhone
you
and then when you reopen that project in GarageBand for Mac the new tracks are
added to the original project
and there you have it everything you need to know about exporting your
projects on GarageBand for Mac if you're just getting started with GarageBand on
Mac or just want a refresh on the basics you can grab a copy of my Quick Start
Guide completely free I'll put a link to that down in the description below
