How To Insert Regions In Garageband? Options

[Hugo Cole]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to insert track regions in Garageband without them copying over what's already at the insert point? Like when you want to record an extra section of a song and you don't want to split every track at the insert point to make the space for it first? Can't seem to find it in Help, and there seems not to be a section on Garageband in the Music Software section of these forums, which seems kind of strange.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. I really appreciate the help.

I know Garageband has problems with CPU usage and I wish often for many more software instruments and effects. Now I wish there was an insert function.

That being said, I love Garageband. I know there was a thread just a couple months ago about how awesome Garageband is so I won't go on about this, but as a "newbie" I've had to get over a Garageband inferiority complex. Not that it came from anyone on this forum - just people in my life who are not so musical who talk about software as though that's the secret to success. Them: "what kind of software are you using? Logic? Reason?" Me: "um, I'm just using Garageband, I'm not very experienced...." Them: "man, you should check out... everyone's using... have you tried.... let me give you a copy of..."

I decided a while back that I would wait until I'm really hurting from the lack of functions to upgrade. I just think that in the meantime the time I would spend figuring out and tinkering with something more complex would be better spent working on the music. In the meantime I'll proudly manually insert space for new sections. Maybe I'm just rigid and resistant to change. Maybe I'm just lazy and I like the fact that I have something that I didn't need to read a manual BEFORE I started using. That's all.
