How do you export a song as a midi file on garageband on the computer. At the moment and recorded myself playing the breakdown in their song 'In the Day and thr Dark' I was using only garageband guitar effects so thought it may be okay posting here but apologies if not! I underestimated GarageBand on iPad. Its insane how useable it is. One of the big weaknesses of Garageband is the lack of possibility to export midi tracks. An excellent script by Lars Kobbe (direct Download: GB2MIDI.ZIP) which the creator also makes available for free on his website, makes the export possible.

  • Audio files to an existing Audio Recorder or Amp track

  • MIDI files to an existing Keyboard or Drums track

  • Audio or MIDI files to new tracks

  • Audio or MIDI files to your song from iCloud Drive or your iPad using the Files app

When you import an audio file, it’s converted to a 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth format if the original format is different. Imported audio files don’t follow tempo changes you make in GarageBand.

Midi File Download

When you import a multitrack MIDI file, GarageBand creates a new Keyboard track for each track in the MIDI file. The total number of resulting tracks cannot exceed 32 tracks. You cannot add multitrack MIDI files to cells in Live Loops.

    A new region created from the audio or MIDI file is trimmed to the end of the current song section, unless the current song section is set to Automatic. You can make the song section longer or slow down the tempo, then resize the region so that more of it plays.
