what happened to cycle song?

Question

what happened to cycle song?

Garageband on iOS used to have a way of setting a cycle in the top bar so you could just loop 4 bars or 1 bar of your song. This seems to have gone. Hs that really happened or am I being stupid. It makes it much harder to use as the fantastic tool for practicing with that it

used to be.

Presumably now it automatically loops the song section so you will need to keep on adjusting that?

Have they taken this feature away or am I having a bad dream?

GarageBand absolutely used to have a yellow cycle bar

It is now July 20, 2017 and I was trying to pull up the cycle bar and it seems not to exist now?????

This is a crazy step backwards Apple!

Also I will be returning my lightening to USB 3 adapter bought for iPhone GarageBand external midi control.

Will no longer be using GarageBand.

Apple can waste it's other customers time & money.

The company is out of touch with reality

It became really apparent with the way their tech support operated today.

It's sad actually...

Took over one hour to get a level 2 tech?

There is the possibility that this was never on Garageband iOS and I am remembering it from the Garageband from OS X but I dont think so.....

Are you sure? I have only seen the yellow cycle region in GarageBand on a Mac, not in GarageBand iOS for iPhone/iPad.

That is how to do it in GarageBand iOS. The current song section will loop automatically.
