The process involves transferring a music composition created within GarageBand on a macOS device to an iOS-based device, also running GarageBand. This enables users to continue working on projects initially started on a desktop or laptop environment on a mobile platform like an iPhone or iPad. An example of this would be composing a song arrangement on a Mac and then refining the mix while traveling using an iPad.
The ability to move projects between these platforms offers enhanced flexibility and convenience in music production workflows. Historically, this was a more complex process, often involving file conversions or limitations in feature compatibility. Modern versions of GarageBand, however, have streamlined this interchange, making it easier for musicians to leverage the different capabilities of each device. This cross-platform functionality supports collaborative efforts where different team members might prefer working on different operating systems.
