GarageBand is popular since the day Steve Jobs initially launched it in 2004. As a line of digital audio workstations special design for MacOS and iOS, GarageBand allows you to record audio, edit songs, mix rhythms, and add sound effects. You don't have to be a Pro, anyone who has iOS device such as Mac, iPhone, or iPad can easily use GarageBand to make cool music.
As for the music resource, GarageBand allows you to use the purchased music from iTunes but that's an ideal choice. As there are too many songs you would like to mix with GarageBand but buying all of them is too pricey. Apple Music supposes to be a good source for music remixing.
