苹果公司发布了GarageBand的最新更新以及新的iPad。价格与上一代相同，为4.99美元，它支持视网膜显示和一些新功能以及。这些新功能包括用于演奏乐器的“智能琴弦”、iCloud支持、便笺编辑器和一个名为“Jam Session”的酷功能。Jam Session允许多达四台iOS设备通过WiFi或蓝牙协同工作，实时创作音乐。苹果在其主旨演讲中播放了一段简短的视频，演示了该功能，正如你所料，它看起来运行得相当不错。

真正的DJ和音乐家可能对一些新的分享功能最为兴奋。除了iCloud同步，音乐还可以直接上传到YouTube或SoundCloud，后者是独立艺术家的**锏。

它现在在iTunes商店中提供。以下是苹果对新功能的看法：

With the new Jam Session feature in GarageBand, you can invite up to three of your friends to get together and wirelessly connect your iOS devices to play and record as a group. Jam Session automatically synchronizes the tempo, key and chords of your Touch Instruments so everyone sounds great. After jamming, everyone’s tracks are automatically collected on your iOS device for you to edit and mix. GarageBand also introduces Smart Strings, a new Touch Instrument that allows you to play an entire string orchestra with just one finger, and the new Note Editor allows you to fine tune a Touch Instrument recording instead of replaying it from scratch. Integration with iCloud keeps your GarageBand songs up to date across your iOS devices, and you can share your finished songs directly to Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud.
