Import a song from the Music app into GarageBand for iPad
You can import songs from the Music app on your iPad into Tracks view. You can import a song to an existing Audio Recorder or Amp track, or have GarageBand create a new Audio Recorder track for the song.
Songs imported from the Music app do not follow tempo changes you make in GarageBand.
Note: You can only import unprotected songs stored locally on your iPad.
