• Audio files to an existing Audio Recorder or Amp 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

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

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.
