If you have an audio file in iCloud Drive, here’s how you can import it into the GarageBand app: Yep, it’s a bit fiddly and involved but it works and it’s WAY easier the second time you do it! From iCloud Drive into GarageBand
Here are some instructions for a few different scenarios. If you have the audio file in one of the other commonly-used cloud service like Google Drive or Dropbox or the audio file is in your email inbox, you can still transfer it to GarageBand – you’ll simply need to get it from that location to iCloud Drive (and then import it into GarageBand from there). Any audio files that have been placed into iCloud Drive can be imported into GarageBand (I have few tips below). If you want to do this on the iPad only, you will need to use Apple’s iCloud Drive service as the “go-between”. Or perhaps you want students to use GarageBand to record their voices over the top of a drum part they created elsewhere. Let’s say you or your students have created an audio file in another app or software program – maybe on a laptop even – and now you want to import that audio file into GarageBand because you’d like to use the Smart Drums to add a backing. Importing audio files in GarageBand: why do that?
