Step 6: Play back your recording

If everything worked correctly you'll notice that GarageBand created a purple rectangle on the Male Voice row in the recording area, and that purple rectangle is labeled "Male Voice". You'll also see wavy lines on that purple rectangle that indicate where you spoke and where you did not. The recording on my computer is shown in Figure 5.

Of course the next thing you want to do is play that back right away to see if it worked. To play your recording back click the slider control at the top of the playhead and move it back to its original position (labeled "00:00"). Once you've moved it back to that position press the Play button. Assuming everything has gone well you'll hear your playback right away. Notice once again that the playhead continues to move to the right. Just click the Play button one more time to stop it.
