I thought I'd try it just for kicks, "remixing" midi files I downloaded off
the net. Well, those get querky, some of the tracks can't solo, the organs
really stink built into GB as you can barely hear them, and I tried the
sound font trick, download a bagpipe.sf2 I threw in, DLS Music Device
recognized it, but using that effectively muted the lead guitar I replaced
it with. Yeah, I know it would probably sound stupid anyways, especially
with the amp simulation stuff on it, but not sure why it wouldn't let me
hear it anyways.

Sorry, the last line of your message just sunk in. lol so yes, I'd
definitely be interested in an audio, this looks complicated.

Hi,
I can answer these for you. First you are correct. Regions are segments
of audio or midi recorded on a track. To record on to a region you must
first turn on the cycle region which can be done by pressing the letter C
to toggle it on and off. Then interact with the arrange layout area and
navigate to multiple indicators ruler time line and interact again. Now
navigate to the cycle region layout iTem. Here you can resize the size
of the cycle region, as well as move it a long the timeline. To start
moving the region press VO command accent. Now use the left and right
arrows to position the region in the timeline. Press escape when done.
Now you might want to stretch or shrink the size of the cycle region.
This is done by pressing VO command shift accent. You will be given 2
choices. Move the left border or the right border. So for example, If
I wanted to add to my verse region on my guitar track and it started on
bar 5 and ended at bar 21 I would first move the cycle region to bar 5.
Then I would move the right border so the cycle region is 16 bars long.
Now I can go to my guitar track, hit record, and play my little heart
out. lol. I just combined all your questions into one example. I
thought it would be easier. I can create a basic audio
tutorial if enough people are interested. Let me know.

Hello,
I have been playing around in Garage band for a couple of weeks now
but there's a few things I just don't get . If someone can walk me
through this on skype or IM or iChat that would be awesome, but maybe
answering these general questions will help:
- First, the whole idea of regions. I understand a region is a portion
of recorded audio on one track. Is this true? Or does it encompass
more then one track?
If the former theory is correct, is it possible to add onto one region
but not on another? For example if you have three regions. An intro, a
chorus and a verse region. How can you easily add a second part to the
chorus region without affecting the other two? For example add a
different instrument or background vocals or so?
-Second thing is the so - called cycle recording. I understand this
creates a sort of region that lets you basically record ov er an
already done piece, possibly adding to it. But how can i see what
selection is indicated? I mean, how do i know what part is being
cycled? Also people tell me to resize regions using voiceOver resizing
commands. I have two questions about that.
1. What are these commands?
2. I understand resizing the cycle region increases the amount of bars
it is encompassing, therefore increasing the length thats being
cycled. But why would you want to resize another region? Wouldn't you
be just adding empty bars?
Sorry if these are newbie questions, its just things i never really
understood.
Any help apreciated,
Florian
