GarageBand ’11 offers a visual depiction of a song using a timeline. When you drag a loop to the timeline, or record into a track, iLife’s GarageBand represents the music with a region in the timeline showing graphically what the sound looks like:
As building blocks for your song, regions help you define pieces of music that may change, depending on the arrangement. You might, for example, record into a separate Software Instrument track a guitar part that accompanies a chorus and then copy the region of that single performance to the same places in the timeline as each chorus in the song — so that you need to perform the guitar part only once.
GarageBand includes Alchemy, one of the world’s most advanced synthesisers. Explore hundreds of Apple‑designed Patches, perfect for EDM, Hip Hop, Indie, Rock and Pop music. Use the expressive Transform Pad to morph between sounds in real time, or just have fun using the simple Chord Strips that help anyone play like an expert.
Changing the timeline grid in GarageBand
The timeline beat ruler shows the divisions of time in either beats and measures or minutes and seconds — depending on whether you choose Time or Measures in the LCD at the bottom of the GarageBand window.
You can use the beat ruler to align musical regions precisely. The timeline offers a grid to snap these segments into place. To turn on the grid, choose Control→Snap to Grid.
You can also set the grid to different musical note values, such as quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, 30-second notes, quarter note triplets, and eighth note triplets. To set the grid to a different note value, click the grid button in the upper right corner of the timeline and then choose a note value from the menu. You can set the grid to Automatic so that it becomes more precise as you zoom in or out using the timeline zoom slider under the track names.

The reason that these pieces of music are organized into regions is so that you can move them easily within tracks. You can even drag a region from one track to another (up or down), if you want the region to take on the characteristics (sounds and effects) of the destination track. When dragging regions, here’s what you need to know:
You also resize regions, making them shorter or longer, as described here:
GarageBand User Guide for iPad
Regions are the building blocks of a GarageBand song. When you record a Touch Instrument, use the Drummer, or add Apple Loops to a song, a region appears in the instrument’s track in Tracks view. There are three types of regions:
Blue regions show the audio waveform inside the region. For green regions, the sound is generated in real time by GarageBand; notes appear as rectangles inside these regions. Yellow regions show a simplified waveform representing the Drummer's performance.
If you change the tempo or key of a song, the green Touch Instrument regions, yellow Drummer regions, and blue regions from Apple Loops all change to match the new tempo or key. Blue regions from Audio Recorder and Amp recordings and from imported audio files don’t change to match the tempo or key.
You can select regions and edit them in a variety of ways.
Select regions
When you tap a region, a frame appears around it. When selecting multiple regions, the frame appears around the last selected region. If you do not see the frame, try zooming until the left and right edges of the region are easily visible.
To edit a multiple selection after you have lifted your fingers, tap a region in the selection, then tap unselected regions to add them to the selection, or tap selected regions to remove them from the selection.
Move a region
If you move a region so that it overlaps another region, the overlapped part of the “covered” region is deleted.
Trim a region
You can shorten blue regions on either their left or right edge, but you cannot lengthen them beyond their original length. You can shorten or lengthen green regions on either edge.

Split a region
Join multiple regions
Note: You cannot join blue regions. When you join yellow regions, the settings of the first region are given to the resulting joined region.
Cut, copy, or delete a region
When you cut a region, the region is placed on the clipboard so you can paste it in a different location.
Paste a region
You can paste a region you have copied, or paste an audio file from an app that supports copying audio to the clipboard. GarageBand supports 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth uncompressed audio files.
You can paste copied regions to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also paste regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be pasted to another Smart Drums track. Audio files copied from another app can be pasted to Audio Recorder or Amp tracks.
Rename a region
Turn off Snap to Grid
GarageBand includes a Snap to Grid feature that helps align regions in the Tracks area with measures, beats, and beat divisions in the ruler. You can turn Snap to Grid off in order to edit regions free of the grid–for example, to align a beat in an audio region with a precise point in time not corresponding to any beat division.
If you are editing notes in a region, you can also turn off Snap to Grid to edit notes free of the grid.
