iPad Air w/ Garageband 2.0. App closes when trying to open a song recorded using iRig Pro. Any suggestion?

I have the iPad Air version 7.0 using Garageband 2.0. I recorded a song using iRig Pro, saved as usual but now when I try to open the song, the song try's to open but then closes the app. All my other songs open normally. I tried resetting Garageband, rebooting my iPad and ensured I have latest updates. Any suggestions to what the problem maybe and how to avoid this trouble for future recordings? Your help is greatly appreciated.

GarageBand (iPad), iOS 7.0.6, iPad Air

This may happen, if you do not have enough free memory on your iPad. If garageBAnd crashed, when trying to open the song, you will probably not be able to rescue the song, but make sure, you have plenty of free memory, when you are working on a project.

Thank you. I'm sure I have plenty of memory available. I have 27 gig still left on a 64 gig iPad. Any other options or ideas to explore? What may have caused it to be corrupted?

So I found my recording but it's in an MP4 format saved as a loop. Do you know how I can move it or blend to a new song to pick up where I left off since I cannot open the original recorded song? Also, do you know what I did wrong so that it saved it as an MP4 loop?

Where have you found the recording as an MP4 loop? On your computer? I GarageBand's Loop Browser?

If it does appear in the Loop Browser, open a new project and dragthe loop from the Loop Browser to a new track.

Also, do you know what I did wrong so that it saved it as an MP4 loop?

It looks like you did not save the song but share it. If you share to FaceBook or to YouTube, the song will be saved as a movie showing an image of the GarageBand logo, see: Share GarageBand songs
