GarageBand at a Glance

Loop Browser

Using the loop browser, you can quickly search for loops to add to your projects. You
can find loops using keywords for an instrument, musical genre, or mood. You can also
perform text searches and refine your results in several ways. The loop browser shows
the tempo, key, and number of beats for each matching loop. You can preview loops in
the loop browser before you add them to a project, and add more loops to
GarageBand by dragging them onto the loop browser. The loop browser gives you
three ways to find loops: button view, column view, and podcast sounds view.

Button View

In button view, the loop browser contains a set of keyword buttons. Click a button to
show matching loops in the results list. Clicking multiple buttons narrows the results to
those loops that match all of the selected keywords.
