Intro to global edits in GarageBand on Mac
In addition to letting you work with individual tracks, regions and patches, GarageBand includes a set of tracks that you can use to control different aspects of the overall project.
Master track: Let’s you control the overall playback volume of a project, including adding fade-ins or fade-outs. For more information, see Work with the master track in on Mac.
Arrangement track: Contains arrangement markers, which you can move, copy and edit to quickly reorganise a project. For more information, see Add arrangement markers in on Mac and Edit arrangement markers in on Mac.
Tempo track: Contains the project tempo and all tempo changes in the project. For more information, see Intro to the Tempo track in GarageBand on Mac.
Transposition track: Contains transposition events used to transpose parts of a project up or down in pitch. Transposition affects MIDI regions and Apple Loops, and can also affect audio regions. For more information, see Intro to the Transposition track in GarageBand on Mac.
Movie track: Displays frames of a movie as thumbnails that are synchronised with the ruler, for use in film scoring. Cuts in the movie can be detected automatically and marked. For more information, see Show the Movie track in GarageBand on Mac .
You can use these tracks in the Tracks area, Audio Editor, Piano Roll Editor and Score Editor. When you show any of these tracks, they appear directly below the ruler.
