To create a ringtone on your Mac, prepare it on your Mac using GarageBand or Logic Pro, then share it to iCloud Drive so you can open it in GarageBand on your iPhone or iPad. Once it's on your iPhone or iPad, export the song as a ringtone from GarageBand, then assign the ringtone. Or just create the ringtone directly on your iPhone or iPad.
Sep 30, 2013 In Logic Pro 10, it's easy to open projects from older versions of Logic, as well as GarageBand projects. When done correctly the software instruments will load up just as they did in the previous program and the mix will sound exactly the same. This tutorial walks you through the process of importing from GarageBand and Logic Pro 9 and earlier.
Set up iCloud Drive
To share songs from your Mac to GarageBand for iOS, you need iCloud Drive. If you haven’t already, set up iCloud Drive on your Mac and your iPhone or iPad.
Share your project
- On your Mac, open the project in Logic Pro or GarageBand.
- Share it to GarageBand for iOS:
- In GarageBand, choose Share > Project to GarageBand for iOS.
- In Logic Pro X, choose File > Share > Project to GarageBand for iOS.
- Select the 'GarageBand for iOS' folder in iCloud Drive, then click Save.
Export the project as a ringtone
- Open GarageBand on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- In the My Songs browser, tap Browse , tap Select, then tap the project you shared from your Mac.
- Tap , then tap Ringtone.
- Enter a name for the ringtone, then tap Export. If the ringtone is longer than 30 seconds, tap Continue to have GarageBand shorten the ringtone automatically. Or, tap Cancel to return to the song so you can shorten it.
- Tap Export.
- When the ringtone is finished exporting, you can assign the ringtone.
Assign the ringtone
After you’ve exported your project as a ringtone, you can set it as your standard ringtone, or assign it to a contact. Tap 'Use sound as,' then choose an option:
- To use the ringtone as your standard ringtone, replacing the existing ringtone, tap Standard Ringtone.
- To use the ringtone as your standard text tone, replacing the existing text tone, tap Standard Text Tone.
- To associate a ringtone with one of your contacts, tap 'Assign to contact,' then choose a contact.
- To return to the My Songs browser without assigning the ringtone, tap Done.
Moving over from GarageBand to Logic Pro X can be a tough process, especially if you're a beginner to the world of professional music software. In this quick tip, you'll learn how to successfully transfer your projects over from GarageBand to Logic Pro X.
I'll be transferring a Magic GarageBand project over to Logic Pro X, but this method will work with almost any project. So, let's get started!
Opening the Project
Step 1
Begin by opening your project in the standard way. If you're on the New From Template screen, click the Open an existing Project... button, and select your file.
Step 2
You'll now be presented with a Save screen. Select the new destination for your project, and select which files to copy across along with the main project file. In this example, I'll just copy across the audio files, by selecting the corresponding checkbox. Then, click Save, or hit the Return key on your keyboard.
Step 3
Open Garageband Ios In Logic
You should now see your GarageBand project, opened in Logic Pro X! If everything has transferred across properly, you should be able to play your project. But, you'll likely notice a few things wrong with it, and you'll learn about how to overcome these in the following sections.
Setting Your Inputs/Outputs
Step 1
Some of the most important things to set when coming across from GarageBand are your inputs and outputs, and making sure they're channelling correctly. So, go through each individual track, and assign them to a bus.
Step 2
Next, assign your Output Track (if you've got one) or the project's main output to either Stereo Out, or a manually selected group.
Checking Your Effects

In GarageBand, effects such as Noise Gate, Echo, Reverb, and Pitch Correction have very simple controls and options. So, when coming into Logic, you'll need to go through each track and double check everything is set up as you'd like.
Step 1
You should begin with the Noise Gate effect on each track, which will be added automatically, regardless of whether or not it was in use. If you used it, it should still be activated, but otherwise, it'll be bypassed. You can simple remove the effect from each track you don't need it on, and then move onto the next step.

Step 2
Repeat this step for any other effects which were unnecessarily imported into Logic, and you should be good to go!

In Summary
That's it. You've now successfully transferred your GarageBand project over to Logic Pro X! It's a fairly painless process, and doesn't take much time at all.
