Sorry - wasn't trying to be a jerk.

Found the cached file for that post & reposting here for you & in that thread. I have used this & it works perfectly & not as hard as it sounds - don't worry about the samples part below unless you're doing samples:

To import tracks (aif files) into an iPad Garageband song, download iphone explorer (better than the one I suggested before and freeware) http://www.macroplant.com/iphoneexplorer/

1. On your ipad garageband, record a couple second clip where you want to import the audio
2. In iphone explorer on your computer, open the bookmark to apps/GarageBand/Library/Application Support/Documents (This is where all your songs will always be stored…)(You need to make this bookmark the first time)
3. Rename the aif file that you want to import to Audio Recorder#02.aif (or whatever the name that Garageband gave to that couple second clip you just recorded. Will always be the highest number Audio Recorder aif in song media folder) (E.g. if you had five tracks before, it would be “Audio Recorder#06.aif”)
4. Drag your aif into the song media folder (in iphone explorer) and it will ask you to replace the one that was in there. (If you are wanting to import an mp3, wave, etc, just import it into a mac garageband song first as it will automatically make it an aif file)

________________

To import new samples, it’s a very similar method...

1. In the sampler, hit record for a second to make a new sample. Name it and save it.
2. In iphone explorer on your computer, open the bookmark to apps/GarageBand/Library/Application Support/Instrument Library\Media\Sampler\Sampler Files (This is where all your samples will always be stored…)(You need to make this bookmark the first time)
3. Rename the aif file that you want to use as a sample to Whatever-you-named-your-sample-in-garageband.aif
4. Drag your aif into the sampler files folder (in iphone explorer) and it will ask you to replace the one that was in there. (If you are wanting to import an mp3, wave, etc, just import it into a mac garageband song first as it will automatically make it an aif file)

No worries. Thanks for the advice. I've posted another message back to the other thread and I'll just follow up in there from now on to avoid confusion in multiple threads. I still have one more question over there Thanks again for the help.
