How do I import tracks from one garageband project to another?

I record on my iPhone. With a limit of 8 tracks, I often record tracks for the same song in different projects. This was no real problem with the previous version of GarageBand but I can't find how to share tracks or projects within GarageBand version 10. I have recently moved a song, in 3 projects, to GarageBand on my iMac and can't move them all to the same project. Is there a way?

Would it do for you to merge your projects by importing the second project as audio file into the first project? Then the following should work:

After finishing the second project, share it to the Media Browser as an Audio File:

From the GarageBand help:


Share audio files to the Media Browser

You can share audio files to the Media Browser, where you can view and open them in other Apple applications, including iMovie and Final Cut Pro.

Share an audio file to the Media Browser

Choose Share > Media Browser.


The entire project, from the beginning to the end of the last region, is bounced to an audio file named after the project, and shared to the Media Browser. Any silence at the beginning or end of the project is trimmed. If Cycle mode is on when you share the project, the part of the project between the start and end of the cycle area is bounced and shared.

Then, in your first project, create a new audio track and import the audio from the second track from the Media Browser.

Thanks for the information. This is similar to what I did with the previous version of GB. I edited a project, saved it with iLife preview, then it showed up in Media Browser and I was able to move it to the other project.

I am finding the method you propose seems to save but does not show up in my Media Browser. This is like it was when I tried saving without iLife preview. Am I missing something in the process?
