Searching by Name You can quickly find loops by name using the search field. This makes it easy to find a specific loop or a group of related loops. To search for loops by name: m Type the name you want to search for in the search field, then press Return. Loops with the text in their file name appear in the results list. Try refining the drum loops you found earlier by typing "acoustic", "club", or "funk" in the search field. You can type other words to see what results you get. Showing Loops from a Specific Jam Pack or Folder If you have installed one or more of the GarageBand Jam Packs on your computer, your loop library can contain many thousands of loops. To make searching for loops easier, you can choose to display only loops from a specific Jam Pack, or only the loops included with GarageBand. If you have created your own loops or added loops from another source, you can also choose to display only those loops. Click here to show the loop library pop-up menu. Choose a scale type from this menu. To view loops from a specific Jam Pack or folder: m Choose the Jam Pack or folder with the loops you want to see from the loop library pop-up menu, located next to the word "Loops" at the top of the loop browser. Searching by Scale Type Most loops other than drum loops are recorded using a particular musical scale. In most cases, when you arrange several loops so that they play together, you'll want to use loops with the same scale type. You can narrow the loops shown in the results list to those using either the major or minor scale, those using neither scale, or those that are good for both. 76 Chapter 7 Tutorial 5: Adding Apple Loops
