Using the Timeline

The timeline at the bottom of your Magic GarageBand project is similar to the timeline in GarageBand lessons. It allows you to jump to each section of the song and easily loop different parts depending on your preference. 

The timeline displays all the song's sections: Intro, Verse 1, Bridge, Verse 2 and Ending. When you click on a section, it will light up yellow and set up a loop of that section. 

Instead of using a loop button, Magic GarageBand uses a Snippet/Entire Song slider to repeat sections of the song. When switched to the Snippet side, the selected section of the song will be looped. 

Switch it to the Entire Song side to listen through the song without repeating sections. Click on the section again to return it to looping.
