When you are done creating your perfect song on GarageBand, you might want to have a copy of it on your iPhone. However, music created on GarageBand can only be listened to on this platform. Its format – Audio File Interchange Format (AIFF) – isn't recognizable by other music applications thus making the song unplayable.
It's a lot easier to copy the project to the Mac, extract the recording there, and then send them back to the iPad. Let's get started. Step one: Export GarageBand projects from iPad. You can share a song as a GarageBand project or as an audio file. You can share GarageBand songs to a Mac, to SoundCloud or to another app on your iPhone. You can also send a song in an email, share it to nearby devices using AirDrop, or use it as a ringtone. If you have set up iCloud, you can also use iCloud to share songs between devices. Send a stereo audio file: Tap Song, then tap Share. After you tap Song, you can add the artist, composer, and title information. You can also choose the audio quality and an image for the audio file. Send a GarageBand project: Tap Project. Choose a recipient for the message. You can also add message text. Want to master Microsoft Excel and take your work-from-home job prospects to the next level?

A tutorial for Garageband users that want to move their song to REAPER.
Learn the trick to exporting stems from Garageband using the track lock/freeze function.
1 – set project end marker
2 – track menu: configure track header, enable lock button
3 – click lock button on each track
4 – PLAY – Garageband will begin freezing all tracks (rendering audio files)
5 – save project
6 – Find Garageband project in Finder (usually in username/Music)
7 – Right-click on project, choose 'Show package contents'
8 – in media folder, find 'freeze files no sync' – this is the rendered audio
9 – copy this audio to a folder for the REAPER project
10 – Name audio files
11 – import audio
12 – adjust item volume for headroom
Garageband really doesn't make it easy and you lose a lot in this process. Your mix will likely sound very different
– no automation
– track volume not applied to audio
– master volume not applied
– no master fx like reverb
– track names not used for rendered audio
