GarageBand M4a issue

I exported audio only from QuickTime which plays fine in iTunes. When I drag the same file into Garageband the track is nothing but loud heavy static. I've imported several files the same way and it has worked. Audacity will not open this file correctly either. Any suggestions?

Garageband changes audio file's tempo on import Every track that I import into Garageband is sped up automatically. No pitch change, just the tempo. For example, a 3 minute audio file is dropped into a new project, and is changed to 53 seconds, automatically. What is going on??

Delete and Move not working in Garageband This is not so much a question but a solution. When editing audio in Garageband, it doesn't take MP4 files. I mean it will download into it but using the Delete and Move feature doesn't work because GarageBand doesn't support MP4 files. What you have to do is download the file. Move that file to your Apple Music playlist. Highlight the file and go the upper left corner to file. Then in the dropdown menu there will be something that says convert, then it will say convert to AAC file and that's what you want. Your audio file will begin converting to AAC. Then drag and drop that file into GarageBand and you'll be able to delete and move. I hope this helps!

No sound on exported audio file Hello, I am working on a Garageband project and I'm trying to export the audio to my desktop. When I play the file, the audio cuts off around the 45 second mark. On garageband nothing weird happens at the 45 second mark, so I'm confused. Wav, aiff, and aac files all have this problem. I've tried isolating single tracks and then exporting to see if any single track was causing a problem. But the problem still persists even on isolated tracks. Verrrry occasionally the audio will cut out on garageband itself at the 45 second mark, but it seems random when it does that and I don't know how to recreate it. I worked on this project yesterday and had no issues exporting the file. Does anyone have any advice to fix this? Thank you
