Jun 03, 2018 In this GarageBand for iOS quick tip, I show you how to quickly share a song directly from GarageBand on you iPhone or iPad to the Soundcloud music sharing platform. Covered in this video. I am using Safari, but I am uploading it through GarageBand which has a direct to Soundcloud feature. It converts it to AAC and consistently says it failed to upload. I have tried nearly 10 times now, its a bit frustrating. AAC is a big file size man (like wave or.aiff).

GarageBand, thankfully, comes equipped with the option to directly convert your completed tracks into both iTunes and SoundCloud which has proven immeasurably helpful for me.

GarageBand is the first DAW I’ve ever used, so I don’t know if FL Studios, Logic Pro, and other software come with this capability, but either way, it’s definitely a useful feature.

How to upload your music to SoundCloud

This is a simple process. After you’ve created your music in GarageBand, you just have to follow a few simple steps.

1) Go into the GarageBand toolbar on the top of the screen.

2) Click on the “Share” drop-down menu.

3) Click on “Song to SoundCloud.”

4) After that, GB will bring up a menu with a list of all of the information that you can type into the menu, including “Title,” “Artist,” “Composer,” and so on and so forth.

5) Make sure you have the option, “Bounce,” selected.

When I upload music to SoundCloud, I usually allow people to both stream and download my tracks for free.

The way I look at it, I’m just happy that someone will want to listen to my music and enjoy it. It’s even better when someone uses it for something, like background music to a video or for a rap beat.

I would recommend allowing people to use your music for free, just because when you’re first starting out, you want all the exposure and promotion you can possibly get.

Just ask people to link your producer/artist/band name in the track, and most will be more than happy to do so.

Back to Uploading…

Now, for whatever reason, sometimes this takes a moment, especially if you have limited bandwidth. I recommend doing it in a place where the Wi-Fi is fast.

Having an old computer makes it even slower.

How to upload music from GarageBand to iTunes

To upload your music from GarageBand to iTunes, you have to follow the same process for putting your music on SoundCloud.

1) Go into the GarageBand toolbar on the top of the screen.

2) Click on the “Share” drop-down menu.

3) Click on “Song to iTunes”

4) After that, GB will bring up a menu with a list of all of the information that you can type into the menu, including “Title,” “Artist,” “Composer,” and so on and so forth.

5) Make sure you have the option, “Highest Quality” selected.

6) And then click “Share.”

When I export my music to both iTunes and GarageBand, I typically try and have the master volume set to between +1.4 – + 1.8 dBs.

This is usually loud enough, and if you’ve mixed and mastered properly, there won’t be any crackling or distortion.

Another thing to consider is, to remember to fill out the settings, “Title,” “Album,” and “Composer,” because you’ll find that when you upload tracks, sometimes it will create more than one artist name in your iTunes library.

It was surprisingly annoying for me, because when I uploaded music to iTunes, sometimes it would create a separate name, even though I was using the same title.

You just have to remember to give your track an album title, and it doesn’t hurt to fill out “Composer” as well, that way iTunes registers every track under the appropriate heading.

How do I upload my music to YouTube?

This process is a little more sophisticated, but it’s still pretty simple. You’ll likely run into all kinds of little annoying problems, like using a good image that won’t get hit with a “copyright” notice, or formatting the image that way it uploads to YouTube at the proper size.

But we’re going to run through all of this today, that way you don’t have to figure it out the same way that I had to. There’s a lot of videos online that are helpful, but not helpful enough.

1) Download iMovie, in case you already haven’t. Just do that by getting it from the app store for free. However, it may just come installed directly on your Mac. I’m not 100% sure.

Just type in “iMovie” into the search bar and iMovie should be the first one on the top-left-hand corner.

By the way, this is a great software for people looking to take their first step into editing. It took me a couple of days to figure out how to use it properly, but it all came with time.

2) After you’ve finished your song, upload to iTunes the way I described above.

3) Open iTunes and select your track.

4) Open iMovie.

5) After you’ve opened up iMovie, drag and drop your track into iMovie. You should see that your track is now sitting in the software on the bottom portion of the screen.

It’s as simple as dragging and dropping it right into the software. I prefer minimizing the iTunes screen that way I can just drop it right in there.

The first thing that you’ll notice is that the green track will show yellow and red. That means the track is clipping (it’s too loud for iMovie).

6) Use your cursor and select the line on top of the green track, and drag it down, that way you’re turning the total volume down a little bit.

7) Drag and drop whatever image you want to use into the software, so that it sits right on top of your music.

A little tip here: Whenever I find an image to put into iMovie along with my music, I usually use one of my own pictures.

Or, when I search for images in Google, I go into the “Tools” setting, and select the option, “Usage Rights,” and then, “Labeled For Re-Use.”

I’m not 100% sure if this is a fully-effective way of avoiding copyright infringement or copy-strikes on YouTube, but it appears to have worked for me thus far.

8) Make sure everything is aligned properly. In other words, you want to use your cursor to stretch out the image so that it matches the length of the track.

The purpose of this is so your image shows for the entire time your song plays. You do this with the movement where you open your two fingers up on the trackpad.

It’s also called the “Zoom In and Zoom Out” command.

At this point, you can do a number of different things, like drag and drop a “title” from the top bar where it says, “Title,” that way you can write something over top of your image.

I usually just write my producer name.

9) After aligning the image with the track, go to the toolbar above the image on the top-right-hand side and click on the little square.

10) Select, “Crop to Fill,” and then select the part of the image that you want to show the most in the video, that way it fits the entire screen in YouTube.

You don’t want one of those videos where the picture and video don’t even take up the whole screen. It looks unprofessional and lazy.

11) Then go into the iMovie settings, and click on the option, “File.”

12) Go to “Share.”

13) And then click on “File” Again.

14) Now, you’ll see the option for naming your video, and then you just export it as “Audio and Video,” and make sure you’ve selected the “720p 60” Resolution.

Also, I prefer saving it to my Desktop, that way
