- Initiate the export. GarageBand says it's creating the mixdown.
- Open up Activity Monitor (Applications » Utilities » Activity Monitor) and select the GarageBand process.
- Press the Inspect button at the top.
- Select the Open Files and Ports tab. Copy the contents of it into a text editor.
- Search the text for Output; it's usually on the last line.
- Copy the path to the clipboard -- it will be something long and ugly like /private/var/ folders/8c/8c6KjuqYGKCLxYlDtiJFJk+++TI/ -Tmp-/GarageBand/Export/Output.aif (robg says: Note that spaces were added to the path shown here to allow line breaks; the real path won't have spaces, of course.).
- Open up Terminal (Applications » Utilities » Terminal). Enter mv, press the Space Bar, then press Command-V to paste the copied path, then press Space Bar one more time. Do not press Return yet.
- Drag the folder in which you wish to save the raw mixdown file into the Terminal window, then press Return.
- Wait for GarageBand to finish creating the mixdown.
[robg adds: I haven't tried this one.]
