Export a project to an audio file in Logic Pro for iPad
You can export a project to a single audio file, choosing to export an AIFF, Wave, or M4A format. All parameters, effects, and automation on the unmuted tracks in the project are recorded as part of the export file.
Stereo Out is the output channel strip used for exports, and it produces an interleaved stereo audio file.
Export files can be reused in Logic Pro for iPad, saving processing resources by replacing or bypassing multiple regions, instruments, and effects. Export files can be saved to storage media, used with other music apps and on other devices, added to playlists, uploaded to the internet, or sent to streaming services and mastering facilities.
Export your project to an audio file
In the Mixer in Logic Pro, make sure that the tracks you want to include in the export are routed to the main stereo output and are not muted.
Tap the Projects button in the top-left corner of the screen, then tap Export.
Enter a name for the export file in the Name field.
Choose which file type you want to export the audio file as. There are two options:
Uncompressed: AIFF or Wave. See AIFF and Wave file options.
Note: Choosing Uncompressed provides an additional option to export all or selected tracks as individual audio files. See Export tracks as individual audio files.
Compressed: M4A, with two encoding types. See M4A file options.
Note: Exporting a compressed audio file requires more storage space than the resulting export file size because an uncompressed file is also exported before encoding. The uncompressed file is removed after conversion.
Use the Entire Project Length switch to choose whether to export the entire project or part of the project.
To limit the export file to only a part of the project, turn the switch off, then adjust the values in the Start Position and End Position fields. You can tap the fields and then edit the values in the numeric input dialog.
Note: If Cycle mode is on when you tap the Projects button and then Export, the part of the project enclosed by the cycle area determines the start and end positions.
Tap Processing Details to show and set additional options. See Set the processing details when exporting projects.
Tap Share, then wait for the project to export.
Note: Share is dimmed if you don’t have enough storage space on your iPad.
A progress bar indicates the progress of the export, and the volume is lowered while the export proceeds.
In the list of export and sharing destinations that appears, do one of the following:
Save the file to iCloud Drive or your iPad: Tap Save to Files, choose a destination in the sidebar and a folder on the right, then tap Save.
Share the file with a nearby Apple device: Tap AirDrop, tap the device you want to share to, then tap Done.
Share the file in an app: Tap an app icon, provide any requested information, share the file, then tap Done.
Note: Only apps that support the file type appear in the list.
You can also Bounce (tracks or) regions in place, Export tracks as individual audio files, and Export MIDI tracks as a MIDI file.
