Adding Apple Loops
You can start composing a song by dragging Apple Loops from the Loop Browser
to the Arrange area. Apple Loops are prerecorded musical phrases or ris that are
available in a variety of instruments, genres, and moods.
There are two types of Apple Loops—Apple Loops audio les and software instrument
Apple Loops les—and you can add them to your project in the following ways:
Add Apple Loops audio les to audio tracks. The resulting audio region on the track 
contains the original audio recording.
Add software instrument Apple Loops les to software instrument tracks. The 
resulting MIDI region contains the original MIDI performance, with its instrument and
eect settings added to the track’s channel strip.
Add software instrument Apple Loops les to audio tracks. The resulting audio region 
contains the original audio recording, without the instrument and eect settings.
