26 Chapter 2 Working With Songs

Saving the Song

As you work, it’s important to save your song often so you don’t lose your changes.

To save a song:

Choose File > Save (or press Command-S).

Saving a Song as an Archive

You can also save a song as an archive. When you save a song as an archive, all the

audio files, loops, and other media the song uses are saved in the song file. This is

especially useful in case you want to copy the song to another computer, or are

duplicating a song with your own Real Instrument recordings.

To save a song as an archive:

Choose File > Save as Archive.

Exporting a Song to an iTunes Playlist

You can export a song to an iTunes playlist, then play your exported songs in iTunes,

download them to an iPod, or burn the playlist to a CD. Files are exported to iTunes in

AIFF format. You can convert the exported file to another format, such as AAC or MP3,

from within iTunes.

To export a song to an iTunes playlist:

Choose File > Export to iTunes. The entire song, from the beginning (measure 1) to the

end of the last region, is exported.

If the cycle region is turned on when you export the song, the part of the timeline from

the start to the end of the cycle region is exported.

You can set the name of the iTunes playlist to which files will be exported, and also set

the name of the album and composer, in the Export pane of GarageBand Preferences.

You can also export a single track, or a group of tracks, to an iTunes playlist. To export a

single track, solo the track (or mute all other tracks) before exporting. To export a group

of tracks, solo the tracks (or mute all other tracks) before exporting.
