“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.”
Art of the Remix with Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga
Anyone can now develop their remix skills in GarageBand with two
new in-app Remix Sessions featuring Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga. Each
session includes inspirational videos from each artist telling the
stories behind their hit songs “Break My Heart” (Dua Lipa) and “Free Woman”
(Lady Gaga), as well as
step-by-step remix instructions led by an Apple Retail Creative Pro
using a GarageBand Live Loops version of each song.
During these sessions, anyone can interact with these hits just
as an artist would in the studio, hearing isolated vocals, beats,
and individual instruments that provide the foundational elements
of a song. With touch instruments and thousands of Apple Loops
available in GarageBand, users can let their creativity run wild,
taking their remix in any direction from Hip Hop to EDM, or any
combination of sounds they dream up.
Fun and easy for any level, these Remix Sessions expand on
Apple’s popular Today at Apple® educational sessions that take
place in Apple Store® locations around the world. Previous Today at
Apple in-store Music Labs have featured top artists including
Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, Khalid, Madonna, Pu Shu, and Taylor
Swift.
Dua Lipa, artist: “It’s amazing to see Apple bringing my music
to life in GarageBand, so now anyone can experience how I made
‘Break My Heart’ no matter where they are. Music has the power to
bring people together, and this is doing that in such an exciting
way. I personally can’t wait for people to have a lot of fun
experimenting and coming up with different versions of my
song.”
Lady Gaga, artist: “GarageBand is my idea bank and where I start
my songwriting, so I’m excited to make my song ‘Free Woman’
available as a Remix Session. I want musicians and music lovers to
be able to see how a song is produced and be able to hear all the
individual parts, and then put their own creative color on it,
doing whatever they want in GarageBand.”
Creative Inspiration from Today’s Biggest Hitmakers
Musicians can now create their own songs with help from some of
today’s biggest music producers, using seven new downloadable
Producer Packs created for GarageBand by Boys Noize, Mark Lettieri,
Oak Felder, Soulection, Take A Daytrip, Tom Misch, and TRAKGIRL.
Each Producer Pack is bursting with hundreds of royalty-free loops,
beats, instruments, drum kits, synth patches, and samples that
embody the sound and vibe of each producer. And in-app videos
feature each producer offering words of encouragement to beginners,
as well as insights into their creative process.
Oak Felder, producer (Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, John Legend):
“Whenever someone asks me how to start producing and making beats,
I tell them to grab their iPhone and open up GarageBand. It removes
all the technical obstacles and makes it easy to turn a simple
musical idea into something great. I still use GarageBand to sketch
out ideas, so it’s especially cool to be able to deliver my own
selection of royalty-free sounds to help someone else write their
own hit song.”
David Biral and Denzel Baptiste, Take A Daytrip, producers (Lil
Nas X, Kid Cudi, Travis Scott): “We both got our start using
GarageBand, met to form Take A Daytrip, and added Logic Pro to our
production tools. Our new Producer Pack is a personal collection of
signature sounds created from our favorite synths and gear so that
we could always have access to them whenever we’re away from our
studio. Our goal is always to make technology more accessible for
the next generation of producers and artists. Making our own sounds
for GarageBand is a perfect way to pay forward the inspiration we
got from previous generations of creators.”
TRAKGIRL, producer (Andra Day, Jhené Aiko, Vic Mensa): “It’s
been an important mission of mine to help young women break into
music making, and GarageBand is a powerful creative tool that
everyone has access to. I hope my Producer Pack will inspire people
globally to embrace their creativity and show that anyone can
follow their dreams and get involved in music production.”
Companion Experience for “Watch the Sound With Mark
Ronson”
In the new Apple Original docuseries “Watch the Sound With Mark
Ronson,” Oscar- and Grammy Award-winning producer-artist Mark
Ronson explores the intersection of technology and musical
innovation. With the exclusive “Watch the Sound With Mark Ronson”
Producer Pack in GarageBand, users can extend the viewing
experience by getting hands-on time with GarageBand versions of the
music technology featured in every episode, from sampling to drum
machines, synths to reverb, and vocal effects to distortion.
Mark Ronson, artist and producer (Adele, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga):
“Our new series, ‘Watch the Sound With Mark Ronson,’ explores and
celebrates the intersection of music and technology, and it is
exciting to have GarageBand bring the beats and sounds from the
show to anyone who is inspired to create their own songs. This
Producer Pack delivers the creativity and excitement of the show in
a way I never imagined and couldn’t be more excited about.”
