GarageBand for iOS 1.2: Optimizing Jam Session network connectivity

Mixing different network connections can cause issues when trying to join a Jam Session or cause devices to play out of sync. These tips will help optimize network connectivity:

• All participants in a Jam Session should use the same type of network connection: either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
• If the available Wi-Fi network has high network traffic, try using Bluetooth.
• If one or more participants wants to make audio recordings with the Audio Recorder, Guitar Amp, or the Sampler, using a Wi-Fi network will shorten the time needed to collect recordings.

To select a specific network connection:

1. Open the Settings app and turn Wi-Fi off.
2. Tap the General section and turn Bluetooth on.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all participants.
4. Open the Jam Session controls in GarageBand for iOS.
5. Create or join a Jam Session.

1. Open the Settings app and turn Wi-Fi on.
2. Tap the General section and turn Bluetooth off.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all participants. Ensure that all participants connect to the same Wi-Fi network.
4. Open the Jam Session controls in GarageBand for iOS.
5. Click Cancel in the "Would you like to turn on Bluetooth?" dialog.
6. Create or join a Jam Session.
