Getting to Know the Loop Browser
The Loop Browser is designed to make finding Apple Loops intuitive and fast.

You can search for loops by using keywords, perform text searches, preview loops, view
information about loops, and limit the display to loops from a specific Jam Pack or loop
library. Matching files are displayed in the Search Results list. When you find files you
want to use, you can add them to your project by dragging them into the Arrange area.

The Loop tab has three views: Column view, Music view, and Sound Effects view. The
default Music view displays 54 buttons, each featuring a musically-related category.
Simply click on the desired buttons in the matrix to narrow your search for appropriate
Apple Loops. Activated buttons are highlighted.
