Exporting tracks properly in GarageBand is crucial for sending them to a mixing engineer or for importing into another DAW for further processing. This guide covers all the essential steps, from preparing your session to exporting stems or individual tracks in the highest quality.
Step 1: Prepare Your Session
Before exporting, ensure your session is organized:
1. Name Your Tracks Properly
Rename each track descriptively (e.g., "Lead_Vocals," "Kick_Drum," "Snare_Top").
2. Disable Effects - (EQ, compression, reverb) on individual tracks, buses and master channel.
Step 2: Exporting Individual Stems
1. Click File → Export → Export All Tracks as Audio Files.
2. Choose a destination folder.
3. Select your preferred file format (usually WAV is recommended).
4. Click Export.
Done!
