Hi everyone,

I've been playing around with Garageband and having lots of fun with
loops.

However, how do I manage to change chords from bar to bar in order to
effect a chord progression? Am I missing something? s the chord
progression built into the loops?

Thanks

Danny

Select an loop or a non-loop for that matter and double-click it. Move
the "Region Pitch" slider on the lower left of the window to whatever
amount you want to transpose.

??? Depends what you mean by that. There is no ability built into the
loop to transpose it - you have to do that yourself. Also remember that
you can transpose MIDI loops (the green ones) to much better effect than
Audio Loops. Audio loops don't sound very good if transposed too high or
too low.

You can't just stretch a loop and have parts of that same loop at a
different pitch. However, all you do is make a new repeat of the same
loop and change *its* pitch. Does that make sense? Each instance of the
same loop within the same track can be at different pitches.
