Garageband and BM3 interaction.

I've purchased BM3 and I love the app but there's one thing that I am missing: I want to use the wide array of instruments available in Garageband and I want to record (or import the recordings) into BM3. I've done quite a bit of research online on this topic and I've found out that I can't really record GB's output into BM3 (at least not directly) - not available as IAA or AU3. If I understand correctly it's not possible via AUM or Audibus either (I don't own either of these apps yet - I am willing to purchase either though if they enable me to do what I want or at least enable a workaround solution which isn't possible without them). I found a workaround that someone suggested but it's not working for me. I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to start solving this problem.

This is the suggested workaround:
1. Open BM3 OUT in Garageband as IAA.
2. Load the desired instrument in Garageband.
3. Play what you've recorded in BM3 so far while recording the desired instrument in GB.
4. After recording, solo the track with the desired instrument recording in GB and export its audio.
5. Import that recorded audio file into BM3.
6. Rinse and repeat.

I really like some of the instruments in GB and that is why I am willing to go through this painful workaround (as long as my patience holds) if there is no other way. The problem is that I can't even open BM3 in Garageband. When I tap on "BeatMaker 3 OUT (Audio)" in the IAA instrument section of GB, I get the following error: "App Not Available. The Inter-App Audio app you have selected is not available at this time." So I am stuck at step 1 already and quite clueless on how to proceed. I could split step 1 into
1.1 Export song from BM3 and
1.2 Import song into GB,
but that is even more time consuming.

Is this workaround even possible? Did I miss something in my research and I can actually record audio output from GB into BM3 directly?

Any help/pointers on this matter are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GarageBand for iOS and iPadOS - Getting rid of dead air at beginning and end of a recording

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been trying to learn how to use GarageBand on my iPhone and iPad using VoiceOver. Yesterday I did a test recording from BackPack Studio into GarageBand via GarageBand's InterApp Audio feature. I had to press Record in GarageBand by double-tapping on the screen, then switch over to BackPack Studio via the app switcher, and then start playing the track I wanted to record. Then once the track was done, I had to go back into GarageBand using the app switcher and double-tap to stop the recording. Naturally, there's a lot of dead air at the beginning and the end of the recording, which I want to get rid of. How do I go about trimming off the dead air at the beginning and the end of the recording using VoiceOver? If one of you could please provide a detailed audio tutorial or step-by-step written tutorial on how to do this, I would be most grateful. I want to be able to export the track to a ringtone, and it won't let me do so by importing the audio file as I used to be able to do, so my only other option is re-recording it from a third-party interop Audio app. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac anymore, so I'm having to work with what I have, i.e. the iPhone and the iPad. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance to anyone who could shed some light.
