Import, trim, merge two audiofiles in Garageband?
what do I have to do to import two m4a audio files into a blank Garageband so I can trim each file, then export them as 1 file with a bit of silence between them?
I have no idea how to get empty GB and import the two files. !!! d’oh.

If GarageBand opens with a project loaded, then tap then tap the icon that looks like a folded over piece of paper at the top left. If you don't see that icon, then tap "back" util you get to a view that shows it. This should get you to the file browser and you should see a "Create Song" button. That will get you to an empty project.
Scroll through the instrument types t select "Audio Recorder". Choose Instrument as the recording type. Then tap the instrument icon and hit "Reset" at the top left to remove all effects. You should end up with "Clean" as the recording type.
Now get to the track view by tapping the icon at the top. It looks like three DAW tracks and should be the third from the left. Then tap the icon that looks like a loop (third from the top-right). You'll see a list of Apple Loops. Tap the "Files" tab at the top. And then "Browse items from the Files App".
Find the first file and import it. Apple forces you to use the search for this, but hopefully you can find the file without too much hassle. Drag the found file onto the timeline. Repeat for the next sample.
Zoom in as far as you need to in order to get the "snap" to a small enough increment for the gap you want between samples. If that isn't enough, then zoom in once more until you see "Snap to Grid off" in the timeline. Snap will turn back on as soon as you zoom out, so get close to the right spacing before doing this. (Tip: you can also go to the gear icon and turn on "time ruler" to defeat Snap.)
Return to the projects screen, find the project, long press on it, select Share, then "Song" to export the resulting audio.
Whew! GarageBand's efforts to dumb things down sure complicate things when you try to do anything slightly out of the ordinary. I could have describe the process in just about any audio editor in half the steps. 😂
