You can remix a GarageBand song in real time, in either the Tracks area or the Live Loops grid. Using the Remix FX, you can scratch-mix the song like a DJ using a turntable, play the song in reverse, stop or downsample the song, and use a variety of remix effects.

Remix FX includes a set of buttons and XY pads you can use to control various effects. The three central buttons are: Reverse, Scratch and Tape Stop. The two vertical sliders are: Gater and Downsampler. The selectable effects for the XY pads include Filter, Wobble, Orbit, Repeater, Reverb and Delay effects.
