I'm having the same issue. I just had a client bring me some good quality tracks in Garageband.

While that's workable (the link above) it is time consuming and tedious. I may have to resort to that, but for 5 projects. Ugh.

I saw a YouTube tutorial on a round about way by saving as a LogicPro project then having Pro Tools Open With LogicPro. This was a relatively simple process. However, I don't have LogicPro. Seems there should be a way to import a Garageband project file directly into Pro Tools.

I did this a couple of times.
I can't remember step-by-step but my method was to import the GB session into Logic, consolidate each track there so they all started at 0.00.00, and then dropping the newly created files into PT. A bit of work but at least much faster than the method described in the article in the above link. Of course you get only the raw audio, no prosessing, but that's what I needed.
