Apple GarageBand '09 - Manual (Page 80)

80 Chapter 7 Tutorial 5: Adding Apple Loops
Creating Your Own Apple Loops
You can save your recordings as Apple Loops. When you save a region as an Apple
Loop, it is added to the loop library and appears in the loop browser, so you can use it
in other projects. Apple Loops you create from recorded regions match the tempo and
key of the project, just like the Apple Loops included with GarageBand.
To save a region as an Apple Loop:
1 Select the region in the timeline.
2 Choose Edit > Add To Loop Library, or drag the region over the loop browser.
3 In the Add Loop dialog, type a name for the loop.
4 Choose the scale and genre from the pop-up menus.
5 Choose an instrument category and instrument name from the list.
6 Click the appropriate mood buttons for easy searching.
7 Click Create.
