hello it's Patrick here from the
GarageBand guide.com in this tutorial
and giving you a crash course on loops
in GarageBand 10 one of garage bands
most attractive features when it landed
way back in 2004 was the inclusion of
hundreds of pre-recorded audio snippets
that users could insert into the
projects called
loops fast forward to present day and
the thousands of loops that are
available in GarageBand are still one of
its killer features the way that you use
the loops that are included with
GarageBand have been refined over time
to the point that it's really very
simple to find and use them in your own
projects so GarageBand has a built in
loop browser that lets you search for
loops using a large selection of
criteria like genres and instrument
types to open the loop browser click on
the loop icon in the top right corner of
GarageBand screen you have a couple of
options here clicking on the drop down
menu marked loops here will allow you to
refine the loops available by genre type
so if I go ahead and select chillwave
from the list all of the loops available
in the list at the bottom of the browser
will be of the chillwave variety this
works exactly the same for all the
genres available here and if you decide
to add more loops to garrage bands down
the line either paid loops or otherwise
they may show up as a separate selection
in this list too
your other option is to search by
instrument genre or moots now using this
filter will change the selection of
loops and the list at the bottom based
on what you have chosen so if I select
sense from the instrument selection
their house from the genre selection
there and single from the moods
selection there that will give me a
narrowed down list of loops to choose
from if we take a closer look at the
loop list at the bottom here there are
three loop types to choose from green
loops blue loops and brand-new in the
latest update of GarageBand version 10.2
yellow groups green loops are MIDI loops
and were created and can be edited in
GarageBand software instrument track a
quick tip here if I load this green loop
into a software instrument track and
then change the instrument the melody
will stay the same but the instrument
playing it will change now this is
really handy if you like the melody of a
particular green loop but don't really
like the instrument that's playing it
you can swap out that instrument really
easily

blue lips are previously recorded
snippets of audio and as such can't be
edited they do usually sound a lot
better quality wise than green loops or
and finally yellow loops which are a new
type of Apple loop powered by GarageBand
drama track that can be customized to
play along with your song to add a loop
to your project you can simply click and
drag it into the workspace this will
create a new software instrument track
if you're adding a green loop a new
audio track if you're adding a blue loop
or a new drummer track if you're adding
a yellow loop notice that some loops
have a key signature next to them also a
temple value and the amount of beats
that they last for now you can refine
your loops further here by clicking the
top of any of these columns and that
will order the loops in the browser at
the bottom there by either key tempo or
beat now this is really handy if you
want to look for a specific in a
specific key or you know if you're
walking to a particular temple that you
want your loop to be in if you want to
increase the length of your loop or to
have it repeat you can hover the cursor
over the top right corner of your loop
region you'll see the cursor change to
this loop icon click and drag the region
to the size that you want alternatively
you can copy and paste your loop click
on the loop to highlight it use the
keyboard shortcut command + C to copy it
then move the playhead to where you want
your copied regions go and hit the
keyboard shortcut command + V to paste
you can then paste as many times as you
need to
you can also use one of the new
additions in GarageBand 10.2 which is
the ability to look your loop for the
full length of your project simply
select the region you want to look and
tap the L key this will look the region
as mentioned to the full length of your
project one last thing for this tutorial
all of the loops that come with garage
bands are completely royalty-free
meaning you can use them and commercial
projects or your own music freely
without worrying about getting into any
hot water copyright wise so there you
