 * 3. Try recording your voice.**

 * 5. Tracks are easy to edit.**
 * Looping Tracks**



In order to do so, select the lower half of the track in the edit window. Clicking the scissors button will bring this window up. You can **loop tracks** within **GarageBand** so that you don't need to re-create or copy and paste your **loops** to have them **repeat.** Place you moue pointer in the top right hand corner of the region you want to loop and drag the right edge along the timeline.

You will want to ensure that your loops are complete. To prevent awkward transitions, be sure to complete your loop. There are notches at both the top and bottom of each region, which represent one loop. Drage the region until you have completed the last loop.
