How To Export Garageband Ipad To Logic

Moving over from GarageBand to Logic Pro X can be a tough process, especially if you're a beginner to the world of professional music software. In this quick tip, you'll learn how to successfully transfer your projects over from GarageBand to Logic Pro X.

I'll be transferring a Magic GarageBand project over to Logic Pro X, but this method will work with almost any project. So, let's get started!

With GarageBand for iPad, Apple is sending a different message: Yes, GarageBand is a tool for making music, but anyone—from musicians to tin-eared newbies—can use it. No talent required. Make the move from GarageBand to Logic Pro X. Stepping up from GarageBand to the professional features of Logic Pro is one of the smoothest transitions you’ll ever make. For starters, you’re greeted with a familiar interface. And your GarageBand projects open in Logic Pro exactly as you left them.

Opening the Project

Step 1

Begin by opening your project in the standard way. If you're on the New From Template screen, click the Open an existing Project.. button, and select your file.

Step 2

You'll now be presented with a Save screen. Select the new destination for your project, and select which files to copy across along with the main project file. In this example, I'll just copy across the audio files, by selecting the corresponding checkbox. Then, click Save, or hit the Return key on your keyboard.

Step 3

You should now see your GarageBand project, opened in Logic Pro X! If everything has transferred across properly, you should be able to play your project. But, you'll likely notice a few things wrong with it, and you'll learn about how to overcome these in the following sections.

Setting Your Inputs/Outputs

Step 1

Some of the most important things to set when coming across from GarageBand are your inputs and outputs, and making sure they're channelling correctly. So, go through each individual track, and assign them to a bus.

Step 2

Next, assign your Output Track (if you've got one) or the project's main output to either Stereo Out, or a manually selected group.

Checking Your Effects

In GarageBand, effects such as Noise Gate, Echo, Reverb, and Pitch Correction have very simple controls and options. So, when coming into Logic, you'll need to go through each track and double check everything is set up as you'd like.

Step 1

You should begin with the Noise Gate effect on each track, which will be added automatically, regardless of whether or not it was in use. If you used it, it should still be activated, but otherwise, it'll be bypassed. You can simple remove the effect from each track you don't need it on, and then move onto the next step.
