What is the difference between a real instrument and software instrument?

There are two types of music in GarageBand Real instrument music, which is marked with a blue icon ( ) in the browser,

is a digital recording of a real instrument such as a guitar, a piano, or vocals Software instrument music, which is marked with a green icon ( ) in the browser, is defined by code that describes how to play sounds, not actual recorded music Real instruments and software instruments must be on separate tracks in the timeline.

a favorite?

clips are available in

GarageBand, it can be

interesting ones that

you find as you browse

Fav column ( changes to )

view your favorite loops, click the Favorites

button in musical button view or the Favorites

category in column view.
