Import Audio Garageband Iphone

Uhhhh, that's a long way around. From <http://www.apple.com/garageband/hottips>:
Adding an Audio File from the Finder
You can add a loop or other audio file (in AIFF, WAV, or MP3 format) to a song by dragging it directly from the Finder to the timeline. You can drag the audio file either to a Real Instrument track or to an empty area below the existing tracks.
When you add an MP3 file by dragging it to the timeline, the file is converted to an AIFF file which is stored as part of the song.

It also said somewhere in there that you could drag it to a category, but when i do that, it complains that it is not in apple loops format.
anyone know how to format instrument loops in apple loop format?
is this something you can do with sound studio? or Soundtrack?
Additionally, i have found that there is a length limit in Garage Band.
since it is based on Soundtrack, and is much cheaper, this makes sense.
they dont' want you editing your entire movie soundtrack without plunking down for a little more.
Even then, you have to drag the end of track indicator in the top timeline view to the right, to add time to your track

Apple has a Loops SDK (ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/Apple_Loops_SDK_1.1.dmg.bin) which includes the 'Soundtrack Loop Utility.' This is what is needed to create 'Apple Loops'

This utility opens an AIFF file and allows you to tag it with key, BPM, and the other meta-data encoded in the AIFF which makes it a loop

nice, thanks!

This is not Windows. As a long time Mac user, my instinct was to drag and drop the AIFF file into the app. Of course, I was right.
No self respecting Mac application would behave differently.

I can't seem to import certain mp3 files. The ones that I can import seem to be no different from the other mp3 format wise. The bitrate, size, and length doesn't seem to matter. It seem Garage Band refuses to convert specific songs? Download virtual dj le numark mixtrack pro.

Rob,
This is a really bad hint!

I had read this hint some time ago and used it and then seen the replies which correctly state you can drag and drop in garage band. I have however made good use of the original hint (viewing the package contents and finding the .aif files) as in this way I can use Garage Band to record live vocals, sax and other instruments then find the actual audio, edit it as needed in Audacity and then use it in Reason 3.0 (which DOESN'T record live audio). That way round I have access to dozens of tools not available in Garage Band. Garage Band will also rewire into Reason which is not documented anywhere but Garage Band is so resource hungry I prefer to do the above and get the audio into Reason. (On a 500 mhz power book I need every bit of CPU I can save). Of course all that would be better handled by me upgrading to Logic and getting a faster mac but this is the current poor man's fix.

Easy Way to Solve 'GarageBand Won't Import MP3' Problem

Though GarageBand 11 announced to import MP3 audio file, sometimes we still encounter difficulty in importing MP3 to GarageBand in various situation:

• Situation 1
  • When I tried to drag and drop my MP3 files to GarageBand, the window came up that said importing.. etc., but then the little box disappeared and nothing happened.
• Situation 2
  • I tried to import a MP3 into GarageBand, but GB hasn't recognized it. In My Songs menu, copy from iTunes says that there's no song available for the copy.
• Situation 3
  • When drag spoken word MP3 into the track or space of GarageBand, I see an 'importing' message for an instant, but nothing appears in the audio track and no new track is created.
• Situation 4
  • I can't drag MP3 audio files into GarageBand whatever from iTunes, from Finder, from the Desktop..
• Situation 5
  • I recorded a very small piece of sound in MP3 format and try to import it to GarageBand for editing. However, GarageBand refuse to add MP3 audio and says 'xxxx.mp3' could not be handled becauseGarageBand cannot open files in the 'MP3 audio' format.

GarageBand only imports MP3 files which have the extension in lower case: '.mp3'. If you try to import MP3 files (like MP3 recorded from the Olympus LS-10) with the extension in upper case:'.MP3', GarageBand will refuse to import those kinds of MP3 audio.

Solution for Reason 1

In this case, change the MP3 file extension to lower case in order to import MP3 to GarageBand.

Though GarageBand allows importing MP3, it only supports those MP3 audio files which have a sample rate of 44.1 kilohertz (kHz) and a bit depth of 16 bits. MP3 files with a different sample ratemight play back faster or slower, or even fail to add to GarageBand.

Solution for Reason 2

To successfully import all kinds of MP3 to GarageBand for OS X or GarageBand for iOS, a recommended solution is to convert MP3 to GarageBand more compatible AIFF.
