What are Apple Loops? They are a set of pre-made audio samples that are included in your Garageband software. The loops are wonderful tools for making quick but great-sounding audio tracks. For our purposes, we will keep it simple and start with Apple Loops even though there is far more you can learn to do with Garageband in the future. To access Apple Loops, you will click the button that looks like a loop. It is located in the top-right corner of our Garageband workspace and is the second of three buttons grouped together there.
When we click the Loops button, we will see a menu appear like the one below:. Here, you can discover all sorts of sounds conveniently categorized for you.
For our song, we will start with finding a nice drum loop to work with. In the first half of the Apple Loops menu, we see our loop categories. In the second half of the Apple Loops menu, we see our loops. By clicking it one time, you will preview the loop.

Click it once to preview it, and click it a second time to stop the preview. Sometimes, you will see that the third button of our Transport Tool has changed. Press the space bar to play the two tracks together. If both loops are perfectly aligned with the first bar, they should sound in sync with one another.

The Cycle Tool looks like two arrows intertwining each other. When the Cycle Tool is activated, you should see a yellow bar above your timeline, like in the image below:.
When the Cycle Tool is active and you press PLAY, you will notice that Garageband will only play the area of the song that is covered by the yellow bar and repeat it over and over again. In many cases, this tool is great for reviewing specific parts of your tracks.
I like to use the Cycle Tool to play a specific part over and over while I generate ideas for things that I might want to add to my existing tracks. At the moment, our drum track plays for four bars but our bass track only plays for two bars. Click on the lowest green block in your timeline, which is currently your bass track. When you hover over the top-right corner of that green block, you will see a special icon appear that looks like an arrow going in a circle.
Now, instead of having one bass loop that lasts for a total of two bars, you should have two bass loops that last for a total of four bars combined and match up perfectly with the drum loop. Play the track by pressing the space bar. The song should loop because the Cycle Tool is still activated. You may notice that your drum loop has a specific name in your Track Header. First, click the Track Header where you see the picture of the drum set.
Next, go to the left of the Garageband workspace and look at your Instrument Library. When you play your song by pressing the space bar, you should notice that the instrument in your drum loop has changed.
