Interestingly, these new GarageBand perks are currently only available on iOS and iPadOS: users of the original macOS desktop version will have to go without Lady Gaga’s encouragement.

If a companion Mark Ronson Live Loops project that ties in to an upcoming Apple TV Plus show is of interest to you, that’s available, too. Image: AppleĪpple is also releasing “hundreds of royalty-free loops, beats, instruments, drum kits, synth patches, and samples” in downloadable Producer Packs that, like the Remix Sessions, include video content that Apple says offers insight into the producers’ creative process. You can watch video tutorials with tips from Lady Gaga or Dua Lipa while you remix their songs. Apple’s implementation of its video tutorial is a bit clunky - the downloaded artist’s Live Loops project will show up in your GarageBand, but to watch while you edit your song, you have to start the video in the Sound Library page and pop it into picture-in-picture mode manually. If you’ve played with GarageBand’s Live Loops before, the experience should be self-explanatory.
There’s currently only one song for each artist, “Break My Heart” for Dua Lipa and “Free Woman” for Lady Gaga, but the amount of samples and loops each song comes with is surprisingly broad. You can access the new Remix Sessions from the Sound Library section of GarageBand. GarageBand’s Remix Sessions lets you try your hand at remixing tracks from Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga with short video tutorials available to watch while you mess with loops. If a year inside convinced you to shoot your shot at becoming an international DJ, Apple is updating GarageBand for iOS and iPadOS on Thursday with a low-stakes way to start dabbling in the world of remixes.
