How To Email A Garageband Project File

[@PedroTalavera-qd8lh]

thanks so much dude, helped a lot, I hope I did it right.

[@musicislife665]

Thanks!

[@cameronvadnais4388]

Hey bud, thank you. I'm not used to using a Mac.

[@trevbeats77]

Perfect mate, make it so easy....Keep the tips coming .

[@PaulLaurinD]

Great tutorial dude!

[@andrewsiemon]

Thanks a lot.

[@gwjr111]

Thanks! That was massively helpful!

[@jaytuckertravis5110]

Awesome thank you!

[@carlosmingeli]

thanks for the video. now, how do i transfer garageband files to a pc?

[@andrewsiemon]

Just by email no?

[@antonigene1590]

thanks for a clear explanation with out a bunch of BS

[@gothboyzuesmusic7895]

Thanks demen 😂

[@donnaanderson5669]

What did you double click on

[@zarahelizabeth7069]

how to do you now open that file in logic pro?

[@freegame1k]

Since I couldn't find if it was possible to save the project to my external drive , thank you , this still helped 👌🏽

[@basubijoseph]

Thank you so much

[@markkeeney2716]

Thanks for getting to the point straight away and making this tutorial succinct and consumable.

[@brandonthompson8413]

That testimonial.... omg....

[@TheJleerocker]

So, on my imac on garageband , Once I have saved the audio file and have compressed it and exited from GB , sending the file to my yahoo email account is unsucessful. Why is this.

[@bensmith4296]

Does this work if the file is larger than 25 MB and it makes you send as a Google file? I keep having trouble with a student of mine being able to open the link to the project once its sent

[@marcj2651]

Would you able to do the same but send it to the external drive rather than email?

[@andrewsiemon]

I’ll be coming out with a new video about sending emails in a few days.

[@oSiahBinladen]

goat

[@sb.yourstruly]

How do you do it on the iPhone?

[@wutzerface77]

Thank you! I don't know why it's so complicated to email a garageband file to another mac

[@andrewsiemon]

Yeah, I don't know. I think they're trying to force us onto the iCloud so Apple makes more money with subscriptions. It seems to be how they do things these days.

[@PaulLaurinD]

Mac users need to hold control and click to compress

[@donnaanderson5669]

What window did you compress it under after you got out of the garage band

[@jonathanphillips6102]

Is there anyway to do this from your phone

[@andrewsiemon]

I can't see why not. I'll have to make that video.

[@corporalquigg7873]

Man wish I saw this sooner. Thanks man.

[@andrewsiemon]

I wish you saw it sooner too.

[@RevDannyBlack]

So how did you discover the part about closing GarageBand? Thanks for the vid!

[@johnvader4584]

I need to send tracks from my GarageBand phone to my email not a desktop

[@edrelsantaana9244]

Can you do the same video but in BandLab

[@KingofSweden-d3b]

The King had to press down CONTROL before double-clicking on the file saved to the desktop, otherwise, Garageband would open again when double-clicking on the saved file.

[@Anastasia424]

This was helpful! Thanks so much.

[@GINNXO]

Please reply back it says that my project is too large how can I fix that

[@andrewsiemon]

I usually have to use Google Drive or OneLink. Some kind of Cloud service that can handle big files.

[@jenniferlayala]

Hi! I saved the file to my desktop but then when I tried double clicking the file on the desktop, it just opens GarageBand back up. This is an old computer I’m trying to sell, it’s GarageBand ‘11 version 6.0.5 (428.5) can anyone help me with this? Thank you!!

[@andrewsiemon]

Right-click it instead of double-clicking it.

[@redsmiles2452]

This is a very helpful video!

[@joesaldivar6680]

Im trying to send through outlook as well, and when i drag it in, it says remove inline messages or attachments from this thread or try using one drive

[@boorad1ey]

Can I send a gb project to do tho?

[@isaiahdokpa8559]

I was having a panic attack over this haha

[@jonnyhammerwielder3951]

Hey Andrew, great little vid! Can you tell me if it’s essentially the same procedure as Logic X?

[@andrewsiemon]

I can't say for sure, but I imagine it's not much different

[@transforminggravity15626]

Excellent appreciate your advice thank you 🔥🎹🔥💯💯💯✌️😎

[@andrewsiemon]

No problem

[@joshgatesmusic78]

Hey man, great video. What if the file says it's too big to email?

[@andrewsiemon]

Cut it in half

[@jimisexdrix2054]

@@andrewsiemon what do you mean by that

[@andrewsiemon]

​@@jimisexdrix2054 Save the original project file. Eliminate 50% of the tracks in the project. Save it as a different file. Export it and compress it. Go back to the original project file and then eliminate the other 50%. Then you export the other 50% and compress it. Essentially you export half of the project and then the other half afterward.

[@IAmSinlessOrigins]

Hey mann dope video it was cool & easy to folllow! I have a few questions though, is this the same process an artist needs to follow in Garageband to send a mix engineer stems? Like does that zip folder have all the track-outs in it ?

[@andrewsiemon]

Yeah, this should work for that. I would export all of the files as .wav files. Make sure to label them really well.

[@plantkid]

thank you :) 💗✨

[@livefromthebronx3673]

The part about closing Garageband was key! Thank you for that!

[@zenodottori2387]

Wowww thanks so much you saved me

[@misterbuttersworth9904]

Could we just airdrop the project from Mac to Ipad?

[@andrewsiemon]

I imagine you can.

[@Biglvm]

❤

[@mateotorres5802]

Thank you sir

[@lawrence5542]

What if you’re using a mobile device, I record on my iPad

[@andrewsiemon]

I'm sure you can do a similar thing. I'm not sure about putting it into a Zip file though.

[@isaiahdokpa8559]

that was fucking great bro

[@MarianSarma]

hello, on iphone what to do if I want to open a zip file in the garageband?

[@andrewsiemon]

I'm not sure. Maybe give it a shot and see what happens. Let me know how it goes.

[@MarianSarma]

@@andrewsiemon ok, thanks for the answers

[@jilliangrant8160]

This was incredibly helpful!!! Thank you so much!

[@rockturtleneck]

Very helpful, thanks! Collaborating on a musical masterpiece with my friend and this will make it easy.

[@TaiwoMusicc]

Perfect! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@kodykoolrocks]

can someone who doesn’t have garageband open it, like logic or soemthing else

[@andrewsiemon]

If they have Logic, yeah, If they don't, no.

[@mjdbrecon]

Excellent explanation thank you for your effort.....

[@Hope4myfriend]

Thanks, but I guess most compressed GB-Project-Files are bigger than 20 MB. Too big for email. Just checked it out with a project. It still had 30MB.

[@andrewsiemon]

Separate it into two projects

[@vincentvancraig]

I’m a computer MORON-is the point of doing this so u can send it to another musician who also has garage band so they can add additional tracks with their particular skills?

[@andrewsiemon]

Yes

[@AKOSAH-MUSIC]

Great teaching , thank you Sir. 😀😀😀😀🔊🔊🎧🎧🎤🎷🎻🎺👍👍

[@Lossyblues854]

W you

[@Gwopboi]

Can people who don’t have an apple computer open the file?

[@andrewsiemon]

Nah, you need Garageband to open a Garageband file.

[@user-pp8xk8nw2p]

Producer Society can it be opened on an iPad if sent from Mac?

[@andrewsiemon]

@@user-pp8xk8nw2p That's a good question. I imagine it would.

[@taylorkinsey1953]

@@andrewsiemon Otherwise you could just send the stems via email. right? If I were sending a project to a third party who used DAW other than Garageband to record guitar, and to have them send back.

[@kidskitchencoach6708]

Share the file as Song to Disk to make it an mp3.

[@DetDame338]

So helpful!!! Subscribing

[@RomannSantanaa]

Yeah double tap to compress doesn’t work

[@andrewsiemon]

Right click

[@bradleyjarquin8821]

Bro thank you so much you are the only person whos clearly explained it

[@paulyfortissimo]

I tried it that way, sending it from one iMac I have to another. When I tried to open it , I got this message: Could not import project This project is only compatible with GarageBand for iOS.

[@andrewsiemon]

Did you use iOS Garageband to make the recording.

[@paulyfortissimo]

@@andrewsiemon No. I did it on my iMac.

[@johnvader4584]

You did not specify exactly what this video was about.

[@leeclarke7884]

fucking perfect mate

[@andrewsiemon]

Glad it helped.

[@olibanks3846]

Christ I hate Mac! This sort of thing should not require a how-to video. Thanks for the vid, I spent a frustrating 2 hours before watching this.

[@Dilaromusic]

Gg thanks m8

[@garypotterton6840]

slow down...man I get it, you can do it fast, but slow down...

[@thomasmueller7153]

thank you. it's hard sometimes to find good videos with to-the-point-instructions. people often get side-tracked, have horrible Indian accents or assume too much pre-existing knowledge. if you have time during the lockdown, can you show how to sync a garageband project directly to iPad?

[@andrewsiemon]

I don't have an iPad at the moment, but I'll be doing iPad tutorials in the future.

[@thomasmueller7153]

@@andrewsiemon found it: - share menu - share to "music" - connect ipad with lighting cable to mac - sync - done. Or share to icloud and symc to ios devices from there.

[@SLAYERxFTW]

File's to big??

[@andrewsiemon]

Compress it.

[@squeakeththewheel]

use iCloud - Mac to Mac

[@AshCatGaming]

The File is too large ;-;

[@andrewsiemon]

Send two emails.

[@andrewsiemon]

@Mahrus Raaief Send half the project in one email and then the other half in the other email.
