Now to sample any of these you just click them. I might want to narrow that down a bit more by selecting say, rock slash blues. And in my case you can see this takes me down to 695 loops to work with.
So since I'm looking for drums I'll select All Drums. And as you can see, in this view the loops are divided into types of instruments, as well as by genres and moods. The default view we're looking at here is this button view. Now, the number of loops that you see here is going to depend on whether you're working with just the basic install of GarageBand, or if you've purchased and downloaded additional loops. So let's open up the loop library by clicking this button up here, which kind of looks like a loop. The other centrally important feature of loops is that, even though they were created in certain keys and tempos, GarageBand makes it so that any loop you drag into your song instantly matches the key and tempo of your song.
Meaning that you can endlessly cycle or loop them for as long as your song requires. Each loop is designed so that its endpoint flows seamlessly back into its starting point. Loops are brief prerecorded snippets of music that were performed by professional musicians, and there are more than a 1000 of these snippets included in Garage Band. As you probably know, GarageBand offers a large library of loops. Alright, so let's start by looking at our loop options. If your goal is to get the song idea down quickly, you might want to use one of the other methods I'm going to show you here even if you do play drums, just to get the feel down, and then you can take your time to play or record real drums later. But even that can be pretty time consuming, especially if you don't keep your drum set up and mic'd at all times. Of course, if you are in fact a drummer yourself, you can just mic up your kit and play real drums into GarageBand. I go into much more detail on these topics in GarageBand Essential training, but here, I'll cover the main things yo need to know. So in this movie, I'm going to give you a crash course on getting a beat into your song by either selecting from GarageBand's built-in drum loops, using the built-in drummer feature, or by tapping the drum parts in with a MIDI keyboard. The feel of the drum part has a huge effect on the feel of the song, since along with the bass, it dictates the rhythm of the song. When you want to put a song idea down quickly, knowing how to make a beat, or at least how to find a drum loop that fits the song is important.
