An Introduction to Garageband

The final step we do is "bouncing" your mix. This creates a single .wav or .mp3 file of your song, so you can distribute it or burn it to CD!

To make an .mp3 file of your song, simply click on "Share", and then click on "Send Song to iTunes". This allows you to send the song in .mp3 format to iTunes, where you can label it and share it however you see fit.

The other option is "Export Song to Disk", which allows you to export your creation in .wav or .aiff format. This is most useful if you're burning to CD, since .mp3 format isn't considered optimal when burning CDs which might be shared. And that's it! Remarkably simple, especially compared to more expensive offerings, like Pro Tools.

GarageBand is extremely powerful - you're only limited by your imagination!
