GarageBand User Guide for iPad

GarageBand includes a set of Apple Loops you can use to easily add drum beats, bass lines, rhythm parts, and other sounds to a song. Loops contain musical patterns that can be seamlessly repeated over and over. You can extend a loop to fill any amount of time. When you change the tempo or key of a song, Apple Loops also change to match the new tempo or key.

You can quickly find loops in the Loop Browser and preview them to find the ones you want to use in your song. You can specify loops as favorites and use them as a starting point for many of your songs. Audio loops are blue, Touch Instrument loops are green, and Drummer loops are yellow.
