- Chapter 3 Tutorial 1: Creating and Playing GarageBand Projects 33 Changing the Project Tempo, Key, and Time Signature Each GarageBand project includes settings for tempo, key, and time signature. When you add loops or create recordings in a music project, GarageBand matches them to the project tempo and key so that they sound good together.
First, share the project from your phone to your PC. There are a number of ways to share a Garageband project from your phone to your PC. On your iPhone GarageBand app, go to the ‘My Song’ menu, then click on the ‘select’ button at the top right corner of the screen and share the project through email, Google Drive, or WhatsApp.
After you create your project in GarageBand, you can
share your music in several ways.
You can send projects to other iLife applications, such as iTunes, iWeb, and iDVD, or
export them to disk. You can also burn a song to a CD.
Sharing Music Projects
You can send a music project to an iTunes playlist. In iTunes, you can listen to the song,
download it to an iPod, or burn the playlist to a CD.

You can set the name of the iTunes playlist to which files will be exported, and set the

single track, solo the track (or mute all other tracks) before sending the song to iTunes.

their web browser, and choose specific chapters to view. You send a video podcast to
iWeb in just the same way as an audio podcast.
You can also export a project containing a video as a QuickTime movie (.mov). When
you export a project as a movie, the exported movie includes both the video and the
soundtrack you created in GarageBand. The video’s audio is also included unless the
Video Sound track is muted when you export the movie.

Exporting Projects at the Optimum Loudness

1
Choose GarageBand > Preferences, then click Advanced.
2
Select the Auto Normalize checkbox.
The Auto Normalize feature does not affect the volume level when you play the project
in GarageBand. It affects the volume level only when you export the project.
