Does GarageBand support Bluetooth output at all?

I have an iPad running IOS 4.3 when I first tried GarageBand it worked through my Bluetooth jam box speaker
But now it doesn't I have tried doing resets etc , but every other sound app works a treat through the jam box , but GarageBand won't. Has anyone cured this problem?

Ipad, iOS 4

I have the same problem, using iPad and IOS 4.3. I would hope that I am doing something wrong, in my settings somewhere. Wireless speakers are important. My wireless headphones work with all the other sound generating programs. jtcnet

I don't think there will ever be wireless audio with a DAW , too much latency.

I think you're right. It works ok with the likes of Electribe etc but not with Multitrack DAW or Garageband. I suspect latency, caused by the longer signal path, is the issue as you say.

I am not so sure This is the solution,I also have the app "isequence" which is a very versatile multi instrument 8 track sequencer and works very well with my Bluetooth jambox....

same problem here. JamBox and no sound.

I thought Leo Laporte was just playing Garage Band with a Bluetooth speaker on the last macbreak show.

Yeah. It works Gomez. You have to turn it on under song settings then AirPlay Bluetooth flip switch. Your welcome:)

GarageBand works perfectly on Bluetooth speakers. Just switch it on under song settings AirPlay Bluetooth!! I don't see or hear any latency at all.
