Another newbie question…
I’ve had a look through some of the How To stuff and I did try to download a file to try it out but couldn’t find it on my iPad.. I saw the DL was available in mp3 which I presume is windows.. there was another file option, a very small file… are IOS downloads specified ?
Apologies if I’ve missed something obvious.. I have Garage Band and I’ve also DL BandLab if that helps.

I just did this on my iPhone. The issue for me was that the WL downloading process has an additional step.

Step(s) actually. I was able to save both WL wav and mp3 files then import in BL. Standby for more details…

What worked for me on iPhone:
1) tap download mp3 or wav file on WL
2) tap Download on 'do you want to download'
3) note: -file is 'downloaded' but not saved -
4) tap on down-arrow (on iphone it's in lower left corner)
5) tap on Downloads
6) tap on your downloaded file (past downloads will also be visible until you clear the list)
7) file should be playable on screen
8) tap on what's sometimes called the Share Icon (box with arrow pointing upwards)
9) tap on Save to Files
10) tap on Save
Now the downloaded file will be in your Downloads folder and accessible from BL.

On my iPhone, I was able to download a template from WL, import it into Garageband, export to wav then upload to WL. Good luck. Keep reaching out if challenges persist.
