Exporting & iLife Integration

Creating a song in GarageBand is pointless if you can't use it in other programs! Thankfully, it's easy to export your songs for use in other iLife programs and for burning to audio CDs.

Once your song is complete and ready for use, simply go to the File menu and select Export to iTunes.   GarageBand will process the song and immediately open iTunes.   Your song will appear in your library alongside your other audio tracks.   Here, you can edit the title, artist, and other information about the song.

To enter standard artist and album information about your exported songs, go to the GarageBand menu and select Preferences.   Click on the Export tab to enter this information.

For more information about iTunes, see our iTunes 6.0 Tutorial.


iLife Suite Integration

The iLife Suite '05 is composed of iMovieHD, iDVD, iPhoto, and GarageBand.  

GarageBand works with these other programs via iTunes.   Once you've exported your GarageBand creation into iTunes, you will be able to incorporate it into your movies, slideshows, and DVD menus.   For specific information about using iTunes tracks in these programs, see our tutorials for iPhoto, iMovieHD, and iDVD.
