Splitting & Joining Regions in Garage Band

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody, my name is Matt and I am speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Another thing you can do with the software instruments is you can actually split them and join them up here in the main track. Let me play what I have for you here. Those are actually the same loops playing over and over again but I have just transposed the last loop to add a little variety to it. I am going to go down here and open up the loop browser and it's called delicate piano 14 here. I want to add to it. I will just drag it up here and line it. The only problem is that when I transposed the second bath of loops, it's not going to be in the same note scheme, not in the same key. So what you can do is if you go up here to edit and click split, you can tell where ever the time bar was, it actually delicate piano in two parts and now what I can do is select the second half of it. Go down here to my track editor and if I select region pitch and take the slider down to -4 it is going to transpose it so that it matches the other loops that I have. What you can actually do is you an click and drag and select both of these loops that we just split. If I go back to edit and click join, I will just join them back together. It is still one big loop but you have the transposed notes and I am going to go ahead and play it. That makes things a lot easier to manage. "
