Apple today announced that its GarageBand app for iPhone and iPad has received all-new Sound Packs from some of today's top artists and producers, including new Remix Sessions from singers Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga.

The music creation app has also gained seven new Producer Packs with beats, loops, and instruments created by top producers, including Boys Noize, Mark Lettieri, Oak Felder, Soulection, Take A Daytrip, Tom Misch, and TRAKGIRL. Another new Producer Pack provides a companion experience to the upcoming Apple TV+ docuseries "Watch the Sound With Mark Ronson," allowing users to experiment with sounds inspired by the music in the show.

"GarageBand continues to be a catalyst for music creation — making it easy for novices to get started and for seasoned pros to develop their ideas on the go," said Bob Borchers, Apple's vice president of worldwide product marketing. "For this update, we've collaborated with an incredible group of artists and producers to give musicians an amazing collection of new sounds to play with, and we hope even more people will be inspired to tap into their creativity and start making music in GarageBand."

The new Remix Sessions and Producer Packs are available today as a free download from the Sound Library in GarageBand 2.3.11, the latest version of the app for iOS and iPadOS.

Can we use these Packs in our YouTube video's etc as consumers and as businesses?
For example as intro tunes or in commercials.
 
Now how about update iMovie to utilize the faster chips. It's basically the same clunker from years ago.

The 'Producer Packs' are the ones with royalty free samples that can be used like that. The Gaga/Lipa material doesn't appear to be part of a 'Producer Pack'. They're in a 'Remix Session', so it's not likely to be usable commercially.

They aren’t, when you first open them they display this message

Pop stars and porn stars looks similar these days.

Well they do have similiar amount of clothes on them..
So, in the context of this article and the screenshot included in it… porn stars are fashionable, wear a lot of makeup, have their hair done, and are pretty much fully clothed?

No, not unless the artists in question have put those songs into the public domain which has never happened ever before.

The only way this could maybe work, is if the samples/stems that they provided for Garageband aren't the actual originals that are featured on the releases. But then there would be no fun in playing around with them and they'd probably sound generic.

Or if Apple bought the rights to the songs for this Garageband collaboration. Highly, highly unlikely.

You get to play with the songs in Garageband and that's it. No way they could somehow work around splitting the license and avoid content-ID. That stuff is automated and unavoidable.

Well I meant it generally. Just look at Grammy Awards. That was straight up softcore porn.
 
Logic on iPad seriously? And how do you install 3rd party plugins then? Is not just putting the app there and that's it, there is a huge ecosystem around music production that need to be adapted some how. Garage Band is more than enough for a device like iPad.
