To hear the new recording:
1. Move the playhead to the point in the timeline where the new region starts (align it with the
left edge of the region). You can also move the playhead to an earlier point in the song, or
to the beginning of the song, to hear the new recording in the context of the song.
2. Click the Play button, or press the Space bar.
Recording a Software Instrument With the Cycle Region
GarageBand lets you record over a specific part of a song. Musicians sometimes call this
“punching in” and “punching out”, and call the points where you start and stop recording
“punch points”. You can record a Software or a Real Instrument using a cycle region. When you
record with a cycle region, you can keep recording for as many times as the cycle region
repeats. Each new cycle is merged with the region created the first time through the cycle
region. To record over a specific part of a song, you set the cycle region in the timeline.
To set the cycle region:
1. Click the Cycle button. The cycle region appears as a yellow strip just below the beat ruler.
2. Move the cycle region to the point in the timeline you want to start recording, then drag the
end of the cycle region to the point in the timeline you want to end recording. You can drag
in the cycle region ruler (below the beat ruler) to move the cycle region to a new part of the
timeline.
3. You may want to have the cycle region start a few extra beats before the point where you
want to start recording, to make it easier to start playing on the beat, and end a few beats
after you want to stop recording, in case your last note extends past the end of the cycle
region.
To record using a cycle region:
1. Select the track you want to record in.
2. Click the Record button, then click the Play button to start recording.
3. Play your musical instrument or sing into your microphone. As you record, a new region
appears in the selected track.
4. Real Instruments only record the first time through the cycle region. When the cycle region
repeats, you hear the newly recorded region.
5. When you are finished, click the Record button again to stop the cycle region.
6. When you have finished using the cycle region, click the Cycle button again to turn it off.
