Project Tasks
Now that you know how to clean up extraneous notes in the Piano Roll Editor, you can
work on the Part B and Part C regions in the String Ensemble track. Use your best judg-
ment when selecting “middle” notes and deleting them. The good news is that every note
works, so if you delete too many or too few it will still sound great. Remember, you are
just making it sound less busy. Play the song to hear the edited string regions with the rest
of the song.
Edited regions with fewer notes.
When you are finished, drag the top edge of the Piano Roll Editor down to the lower third
of the window. Don’t forget to save your work and close the editor.
Copying Parts of a Song with the Arrangement Track
In Lesson 1, “Working with a GarageBand Project,” you worked with arrangement mark-
ers in the arrangement track to rename the different sections of this song. Arrangement
markers can also be used to move, copy, or delete parts of a song such as the chorus or
verse. In this exercise you’ll create a new arrangement marker for the bridge section at the
end of the song. Then you’ll copy and move the verse and chorus parts to lengthen the
song. Finally, you’ll add an outro (end) to the song. All of this can be done with arrange-
ment markers.
