Trang 6Timeline
The timeline is where you arrange music loops and recordings to create your GarageBand project Each row in
the timeline represents a track where you can place a different instrument When you play a project, a vertical line called a playhead shows the progress along the timeline.
Tracks
GarageBand displays the types of instruments in your project as tracks There are three types of tracks in
GarageBand: real instrument tracks made up of instrument recordings or prerecorded loops of instruments, software instrument tracks where music is defined programmatically, and electric guitar tracks that can be modified using various guitar-specific settings.
Regions
When you add a segment of audio to your project, GarageBand creates a region in the timeline You can
arrange and rearrange the regions on the timeline to suit your tastes Regions are colored differently depending
on the type of music: Real instrument loops are blue, recorded real instruments are purple, software
instruments are green, and imported audio files are orange See “Add a Loop to the Timeline” for more details.
Track Info
Double-clicking a track opens a track info panel Here you can make changes to the instrument that corresponds
to the track For example, you can add predefined special effects that change an instrument’s sound See “Add
an Effect” for details.
Track Editor
The track editor gives you a low-level view of your project Music is represented either as a waveform, for audio created from real instruments, or discrete notes, in the case of software instruments In the editor you can change the pitch of a track to shift all the notes in a track or edit notes one at a time See “Adjust the Pitch” or
“Edit Musical Notes” for details.
Play Controls
You can preview your project to hear how the loops and recordings that you have assembled sound See “Play
a Project” for more information.
GarageBand lets you assemble songs from
prerecorded audio loops and music that you
record yourself You can adjust the volume and
stereo placement of each instrument, also
known as mixing a song, add special effects,
edit individual notes, and more Before starting
a GarageBand project, familiarize yourself with
the program workspace.

terms of time or musical measures You can also display tuning, chord, tempo, and other basic information in the LCD.
Volume Controls
Volume sliders enable you to control the loudness of the music in your project Besides controlling the overall volume, you can control the loudness of individual instruments in tracks See “Change the Volume” for more details.

What are the tempo, time signature, and key settings?
These settings determine the timing and other fundamental
aspects of your project You can adjust them when you create a
new project.
● The tempo is the rate at which beats occur The tempo is measured
in beats per minute (bpm) You can set the tempo for a project to
between 60 and 240 bpm
● The time signature, such as 4/4 or 6/8, determines the relationship between beats and measures Measures are
the divided sections in the project timeline The first number is the number of beats in each measure and the second number the length of the note that gets one beat
● The key defines the central note of a project You can set the key to any note between A and G sharp (G#)
Along with the key, you can choose to use either the major or minor scale
GarageBand creates a new
project
● You arrange the different loops
and recordings that make up your
song in the timeline
Tracks enable you to separately
control the instruments in a song
● In this example, a piano template
was used, so GarageBand inserts
a single piano track
● You can click and drag loops from
the loop browser to the timeline
to add predefined music to your
project
Note: See “Browse for and Preview Loops” for
details.
