4. In FL Studio, click “File > Import > Audio File…” from the menu bar at the top of the screen or press Ctrl+I (Windows) or Command+I (Mac). This will open up a new window where you can browse your exported file from GarageBand using its filename or location path (e.g., Desktop).
5. Once found, double-click on it or press Enter/Return key to import it into the FL Studio project file that’s currently open on your computer screen
6. Finally press OK once all settings are confirmed if necessary then wait until the import process is completed. That’s it! Your exported song from GarageBand will now be ready for use in your existing or new project file in FL Studio!
