Exporting individual segments in Garage Band

Hi. I've recently started trying editing in GarageBand. I'm recording voice-over tracks and trying to edit and export them as individual segments. But when I attempted to export the separate segments, it always exported every piece of edited audio as one giant file. Is there a way to export each separate piece of edited audio? It's kind of important that I'm able to export smaller separate edits as mp3s.
Thanks!
Jon

Solo the track/s with the segment/s you want.
Engage the cycle region and place it over the piece you want.
Share to iTunes/export.

Can I export EXS files to Garage Band?

I know GB uses .exs files and I am placing the instrument and samples next to the other GB voices but how do I get GB to recognize the data?

No.
The closest you’ll get is a PDF and Illustrator is not a general purpose PDF editor.
Good luck.

in garage band, i want to import a 20 minute wav file and cut it into individual songs, and export them to itunes or dropbox or ...
i've imorted the file to audio for imovie, but can't see how to chop it up, save the pieces as individual units, and export them.

Create a new GarageBand project using the "Voice" template.
Drag you wav file into the Track area of the GarageBand window to create an audio track for it.
Use the playback button to find the gaps between the songs.
Mark each song in turn with the cycle region. Press the button with the two blue chasing arrows to enable the cycle region. This will create a yellow bar at the top of the track area. Drag the ends of this bar to mark one of your songs.
Now use the "Share" menu to send your song to iTunes.
When done, adjust the cycle region to mark the second song.

Exporting vinyl from Garage Band to iTunes

I am recording vinyl into Garage Band,adding sound effects , splitting into individual songs and attempting to export to iTunes . The result is a single "file" , rather than the desired multiple files . I have attempted this working with multiple "regions" on a single "track" , and also splitting the "regions " on to individual "tracks" . Can't come right! am I attempting the impossible, or is there someone out there who can save my sanity.

The result of an export from GB will always be one sound file. Whether you have all your songs on one track or on several tracks - youll have to export them one by one, either by soloing the tracks or setting the export region with the yellow cycle ribbon.
Only exception: If you want to burn a CD directly from GB, you can use the podcast markers to mark the individual songs, and they will be burned to separate CD tracks.

How can i export music from garage band to my PC?

Hi,
Ive read quit a few threads on this matter, but none of the ideas seem to work.
I have created a track in GB and i now want to listen to it on my PC.
The ipad (1st edition) and is syncing up to the PC fine apart from this.
The process that im following is:-
Create the song in GB
Tap ' My Songs' at the top left hand side of the page
Hit the 'send to itunes' button at the bottom left of the page
Choose 'AAC Format'
But when I fire up ITunes (on my PC) , click 'Apps' and then scroll to the bottom, i can see the Garage Band application Icon, but there is no exported music file. Im not sure where to look next.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Mike

Yes, no problem, as long as Logic has a equal or higher version. So, Garageband 9 -> Logic 8 will produce problems. With Logic 9, you can import everything and open the GB file directly in Logic.

Importing vinvl albums via garage band have to import tunes individually .tunes willnot recombine into one album. I understand that it is because data available on cd's is not present on vinyl..any clues on how to fix this?

mac version 10.9.4.
importing vinyl albums via garage band. Have to import tunes individually as tunes will not retain individusl otherwise. trouble is they will not rejoin as one album in iTunes.I understand it is because data available on cd's is not on vinyl imports . Any clues on how to fix this?

"Have to import tunes individually as tunes will not retain individusl otherwise." -- I don't understand this sentence.
iTunes will not assign track names to items imported from vinyl. You will have to label the files yourself in the Get Info window. As long as you give all the tracks on an album the same album information and the same artist information they should group together. if the artists differ then you need to give all the tracks one common album artist (often "Various Artists")in addition to individual track artist.

HT5537 How do you import/export garage band projects using the latest version of iTunes when there is no apps in the left column to select garageband?

I am perfectly aware of how to do this using the old version of itunes.
however i just got a new macbook pro retina... and it came with the latest version of itunes.
and i was trying to import/export garage band files between my ipad and mac via itunes.
and the option for apps, that is usually on the left side where you can then select garage band from in itunes, isnt there in the new version of itunes.
has anyone got a work around for this?
thanks.
nic

Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?
Regards

Will no longer save my files to disc or export them. Will only save within Garage Band?

I've been uploading podcasts to my website which in turn puts them on itunes but this week suddenly, garageband will no longer "export to disc" or when it does it will save at twice the file size it estimated. When I try exporting directly into iTunes the "song" never exports (though no warning appears saying it's failed) and when i export to disc (i.e. desktop) the file also doesn't show up on desktop. I can, however, still listen to it within Garage Band. Although that's useless pretty much since the files are meant to be shared.

Without any details it's impossible to even guess what your problem could be.

Is it possible to export MIDI files created in Garage Band into Pro tools 9?

GB does not support exporting MIDI files, you'd need to open the file with Logic to do that

Podcast export in Garage Band 10.0.3

Hi out there -
I have used older versions of Garage Band and even iMovie in the past - meaning over 4 or 5 years ago - to do audio podcasts for my site. These are generally 30 min. in length average. I am only occasionally doing this now as others have picked it up. I only have Garage Band on my mac, and find that the newer version is harder for me to figure out in exporting smaller files. What I am doing is taking a pre-recorded audio file, editing it for volume consistency and cutting out a few things, and then exporting so I can upload to my site. The problem with GB is the file sizes are large - in the neighborhood of 20 MB. I want them to be about 10 if possible. With older GB and iTunes I could achieve this, but now it seems I cannot get smaller than about 15 MB or so. Could anyone help me out here? I am probably doing something very off here, and I am open to whatever in order to fix it, including ditching GB and getting something else altogether.
Thanks -
Craig

The problem with GB is the file sizes are large - in the neighborhood of 20 MB. I want them to be about 10 if possible.
Have you tried all options in the "Share > Export Song to Disk" panel? You can only reduce the file size by using lower quality settings.
With older GB and iTunes I could achieve this,
Do you still have your older GarageBand version installed? GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5 is working well with Yosemite, and the GarageBand 10 installer does not uninstall GarageBand '11. You could still use it for your podcasts.

Help! Size of garage band song too big when exported

I'm trying to share songs I've created with Garage band. For some reason they are way too large (40 - 60MB) to attach to an email and send. They shouldn't be that big, they are just average sized songs. Thats the size that they each came out when I exported it from garage band to itunes. A friend recomended a program Audacity to reduce their size (or bitrate?) but I haven't a clue as to how to use it to make my songs normal size. Is there some simple way to reduce their size so that I can send them to people?
Also, the second part of my question is I would like the songs to be in a format readable not only by Mac users but by PC users as well.
As you can see I know very little about this stuff but I really need to send these songs out, any bit of help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou, Marc.

We get posts like this one here fairly often, and I can't understand it.
Go look at your CD collection. Every 3-minute song on any CD takes up 30 MB of file space. Every 5-minute song takes up 50MB of file space.
It's the same with GarageBand, because GarageBand records and mixes music to 16-bit, 44.1KHz two-channel stereo, just like on a CD. One minute of stereo music takes up approximately 10 MB.
Complaining that a five minute song in GarageBand takes up 50 MB is like complaining that a foot has twelve inches in it, or that a kilogram contains 1000 grams.
Use iTunes to burn your GarageBand songs to a CD in the regular audio CD format. Then mail the CD to your friends. They'll be able to listen to it on a Windows PC or a regular CD player at home or in their car.
You can use iTunes to convert your recording into an MP3 that is as small as you want it, but the smaller the end result, the poorer the audio quality.

mp3 export is not currently an option for GBv10, though it's not difficult to still create an mp3 formatted file:

How can I export midi to pro tools from my iPad garage band

I'd like to take songs I've written in midi on the iPad garage band, export the midi files to my PC which uses pro tools 10 so I can work on them more there, and use the score creator...here is why, when I sit around and write a song on iPad, I'm using virtual instruments, I'd like to be able to first, have more power..ie pro tools..to mix the tracks, then also be able to print sheet music from the midi so I can recreate the midi tracks with real instruments, when I'm writing the stuff with midi on garage band, it's I can't remember what I played where by the time I've moved the midi notes around a little etc etc..and I'd like the actual recording to be real instruments not virtual, as I want a very professional sounding recording.. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

If the folders were created in the Photos app on the iPad, they don't really contain copies of the photos. They contain pointers to those photos that allow them to appear in the albums that you create. Consequently, they cannot be imported to the computer. Those albums are for local organization on the iPad only And cannot be imported.
You should be able to select the indicidual phots that you want to import, as far as I know. I can do it on a Mac using iPhoto or Image Capture, so I assume that Windows will allow you to pick and choose which photos you want to import.
