Importing Garage Band Audio into FCE4

[Mary H]

Hi,

I am creating audio files in Garage Band and want to import them into FCE4. I am more concerned with file quality than with file size.

I am using Garage Band 08. How do I export music so it is in a file compatible with FCE4? The FCE4 manual recommends not using AAC or mp3 files which are the only two options I saw in Garage Band.

Thanks,
Mary

Figured it out!

The default under share to disk was checked for compression. Once I unchecked the compression button, it saved to an aif file and could be imported.

Yes, the AIFF (uncompressed) method is the best format to use in FCE4. You do not need to render the audio.

However, you can import MP3s (or ACCs I think) into FCE4 but you just have to render the audio in the Timeline. Just an FYI.
