How do I export from GarageBand iOS?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To export a song from GarageBand on iOS, you can follow these steps:

1. Open GarageBand on your iOS device and go to the “My Songs” browser, which is the main screen where all your projects are listed.

2. Find the song you want to export and touch and hold it. This will bring up a menu of options for that song.

3. Tap on the “Share” option in the menu. This will open a new window with various sharing options.

4. In the sharing window, you will see different options for sharing your song. To export it as a ringtone or text tone, you will need to tap on the “Ringtone” option.

5. After selecting the “Ringtone” option, you can choose whether to export the entire song or just a specific portion. You can use the sliders to adjust the start and end points of the exported ringtone.

6. To rename the ringtone, tap on the current name and type a new name for it. This will help you easily identify the ringtone on your device.

7. Once you have set the desired options and renamed the ringtone, tap on the “Export” button. GarageBand will then process the export and create the ringtone file.

8. After the export is complete, you will see a notification panel saying “Ringtone Export Successful.” You can now choose what you want to do with the exported ringtone.

9. You can tap on the “Use sound as…” option to directly set the exported ringtone as your default ringtone, text tone, or assign it to a specific contact.

10. If you want to manually manage the exported ringtone, you can select the “Save to Files” option. This will allow you to choose a location on your device or iCloud Drive to save the ringtone file.

That’s it! You have successfully exported a GarageBand song as a ringtone or text tone. You can now use it on your iOS device as your desired notification sound. Enjoy customizing your device with your own musical creations!
