Key changes for loops

Hi,


I've been using GarageBand now for about a year, and I am sensing the free nature of it is starting to limit me.


I am a guitarist and many of the tracks I record I like to add string loops in, but I'm finding that the loops are not following the key and chord progression of my guitars.


Before I drop £200 on Logic Pro, is it possible to change keys of loops and have it follow a chord progression?

Hello NickToye

This is a snapshot of the Logic Pro X (Loop Browser) as you can see we have the option to prelisten the loops in a different key (before adding to Tracks Area) from Loop Browser.

but in GarageBand, we don't have that feature.

in GaragBand you can only audition in your project's tempo and key.( so you have to change your project's key )

That's not in the inspector is it? It's in the loops panel.


Ok, I have dropped a loop of 16 bars into my timeline that is in the key of E Minor, then after 16 bars I want to change the key to G Minor. I don't seem to be able to change the track which has the loop to change key.
