I understand from your post that you would like to know how to import songs to GarageBand from your iTunes library. I am happy to help you with this. The following article details how to use the Media Browser to search for, play, and import the songs found in your iTunes Library into GarageBand.

  • Audio files to an existing Audio Recorder or Amp track

  • MIDI files to an existing Keyboard or Drums track

  • Audio or MIDI files to new tracks

  • Audio or MIDI files to your song from iCloud Drive or your iPad using the Files app

When you import an audio file, it’s converted to a 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth format if the original format is different. Imported audio files don’t follow tempo changes you make in GarageBand.

When you import a multitrack MIDI file, GarageBand creates a new Keyboard track for each track in the MIDI file. The total number of resulting tracks cannot exceed 32 tracks. You cannot add multitrack MIDI files to cells in Live Loops.

Import audio and MIDI files from your computer

  1. On your computer, add the audio or MIDI files you want to import to the GarageBand File Sharing area in the Finder.

  2. In GarageBand on your iPad, set the current song section to Automatic to import the entire audio or MIDI file; otherwise, only the portion of the file that fits the current song section is imported.

    After importing the audio or MIDI file, you can make the song section longer, then resize the region so more of it plays.

  3. Tap the Tracks View button to open Tracks view, then tap the Loop Browser button in the control bar.

    A message appears asking if you want to move the audio or MIDI files to the GarageBand File Transfer folder.

  4. Tap Move Files.

  5. To preview an audio file, tap it in the list. You can control the preview volume with the slider at the bottom of the list.

  6. Drag an audio or MIDI file from the list to Tracks view. Align the left edge of the file with the bar or beat (on the ruler) where you want it to start playing.

    A new region created from the audio or MIDI file is trimmed to the end of the current song section, unless the current song section is set to Automatic. You can make the song section longer or slow down the tempo, then resize the region so that more of it plays.
