When exporting a file GarageBand converts it to a stereo file

How can I make it not to convert an exported file? Can I convert it back to mono?

Export from 96kHz to 48kHz? Hi everyone. Could someone please help me - I have a 96kHz Project File containing a single track (96kHz sound file). Channel strip setting = mono Stereo out setting = mono I can export to a 96kHz mono file perfectly. I would now also like a 48kHz mono version, however - it seems impossible to export that same 96kHz project file to a 48kHz version. These are my different attempts, and the results: BOUNCING: When I bounce the 96kHz project file to 48kHz, it results in a 48kHz file, but stereo, not mono. When I change the 96kHz project file to 48kHz, and then bounce, I get the same result - a 48kHz file, but stereo, not mono. EXPORTING: When I export the 96kHz project file, there is no option to change the sample rate to 48kHz, and results in a mono file, but 96kHz. When I change the project file from 96kHz to 48kHz, and then export, I get a 48kHz file, and stereo (yippee), but, the duration of the file is doubled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Note. (the "include volume / pan information" checkbox is disabled). How on earth do I get a 48kHz file AND mono AND the correct duration?????????? Could someone please tell me the exact steps required? Any help is appreciated, as my head now hurts :) Thank you.

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!

It might not be possible in GB, since it is meant to be a simple streamlined program.
