Understanding Apple Loops
As you have learned so far, Apple Loops come in different shapes, sizes, instruments, and colors. Before you build a song, let's examine some of the unique characteristics of the prerecorded Apple Loops that come with GarageBand.In the previous lessons, you discovered that the green loops are Software Instrument loops and can be edited just like any Software Instrument region; you can even edit individual notes. Likewise, the blue loops are Real Instrument loops that can be edited like any Real Instrument region.What happens if you place a Real Instrument loop into a Software Instrument region? Let's try it and find out. The first track in the current project is a Software Instrument track. The second track is a Real Instrument track.
