How to Add Any Format of Audio Files to GarageBand ’11 or GarageBand for iOS

Overview

According to Apple Support, users can import audio files in non-protected AIFF, WAV, AAC, Apple Lossless and MP3 into a GarageBand project. Any other files in different formats such as FLAC, CAF, APE, OGG, WMA, M4A, RA, AMR, QCP, SHN, BIK will not be able to be imported to GarageBand. Even the AIFF, WAV, AAC, Apple Lossless and MP3 should have a sample rate of 44.1 kilohertz (kHz) and a bit depth of 16 bits (files with a different sample rate might play back faster or slower).

If you files cannot meet the requested specifications, you will encounter several situations:

Record .caf files on iPhone (via Quickvoice app) and import them direct into Garageband (by dragging). Suddenly the .caf files are not working, opening (in any program). Converting them into MP3 with Switch, Handbrake, but they’re not recognised. Tellingly, the icon on the files has gone from being the ‘music notes’ icon (iTunes) to a quicktime icon.
Recorded a very small piece of sound and try to edit it in GarageBand. GarageBand won’t allow me to add .Mp3. It says “xxxx.mp3” could not be handled because GarageBand cannot open files in the “MP3 audio” format”.
I use my MacBook Pro mostly for making music, and today i tried to import an MP3 to Garageband and the regular dialogue of “Importing File” appeared as always, but then… NOTHING! The file isn’t there! Then i tried importing the file directly from iTunes and i couldn’t

To import audio to GarageBand ’11 or GarageBand for iOS, it is better to convert to AIFF, WAV, AAC, Apple Lossless or MP3 with a sample rate of 44.1 kilohertz (kHz) and a bit depth of 16 bits using QuickTime Pro or third party applications before importing them into GarageBand.

If like many of us, you like to go back and forth between Logic and GarageBand, then this tip is a keeper. Learn how to use the EXS24 sampler instruments from Logic in GarageBand for Mac!

You can create sampler instruments in GarageBand by dragging sample files to the keys of the Musical Typing keyboard but it's a laborious process. Logic Pro's EXS24 Sample Instrument Editor has a load more features that make creating sampler instruments quick and easy, and allows for the editing of an wide range of parameters, none of which is possible in GarageBand.

With a little bit of tweakery, it is possible to use the sampler instruments created in Logic Pro in GarageBand '11, if you wish to extend the palette of instruments but carry on using GarageBand's more straightforward sequencing environment. Here's how:

Step 1

First create a sampler instrument in Logic Pro's EXS24 Sample Instrument Editor.

Create the sampler instrument in EXS24's Sample Instrument Editor.

Step 2

In the EXS24 Instrument Editor go to the Instrument Menu and choose 'Export Sampler Instrument and Sample Files'. You can name the instrument at this point if you haven't already done so. You can save the resultant files to any location for now.

Choose 'Export Sampler Instrument and Sample Files'.

Add the Instrument file to the following location:

Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Instrument Library > Sampler > Sampler Instruments

Add the folder of instrument samples to the following location:

Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Instrument Library > Sampler > Sampler Files

Step 3

Next we need to get GarageBand to recognize these files. You can see how GarageBand categorizes instruments if you double-click a software instrument track or click the 'i' button at the bottom right of the GarageBand window to open the Instrument Browser, then click the '˜Edit' tab.

At the top is the '˜Sound Generator' for the current instrument.

In the upper of the two Sound Generator pop-up menus make a careful note of the name of an appropriate instrument type, for example - '˜Strings'

Click on the lower of the two pop-up menus and you will see the instruments that are in this category but you won't see your instrumented listed (yet!)

The pop-up menus display the instruments that are in this category.

Step 4

In the Finder, browse to the following location:

Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Instrument Library > Plug-In Settings

In that location go inside any folder, select any .pst file inside that folder and copy it to the clipboard

Navigate to User Home > Library > Application Support > GarageBand > Instrument Library > Plug-In Settings (if you are using Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks you will need to hold down the Option key to be able to select the User Home > Library from the Finder's Go menu)

In that location create a folder with the exact name of the category you noted above (in the upper of the two Sound Generator pop-up menus'in our example '˜Strings') and paste the .pst file into that folder, then rename the .pst file to the name you want your instrument to have (how it will appear in the lower of the two Sound Generator pop-up menus)

Step 5

Open the .pst file with a text editor such as TextEdit or Text Wrangler. Change the part of the code that was the original name of the .pst file (which ends in .exs in the code) to the name of your EXS instrument'it is important that this matches exactly!

The .pst file renamed and opened in TextEdit with the relevant part of the text highlighted.

The .pst file edited with the same name as the EXS24 instrument created in Logic Pro.
