GarageBand is getting new sound packs and producer packs.

Music makers using Apple's GarageBand for iOS and iPad OS are getting new tools from some industry names, like Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga.

Apple is adding new sound packs and producer packs to GarageBand. This includes step-by-step instructions on remixing using songs from Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa, the company said in a blog post Thursday. The producer packs come with loops, beats and instruments created by music producers like Boys Noize, Oak Felder and Tom Misch.

"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," Lady Gaga said in the post. 

Another producer pack serves as a "special companion experience" to the docuseries Watch the Sound With Mark Ronson, which is scheduled to hit Apple TV Plus on July 30.
