Much of this you may well know but I'm putting in extra information for anyone new to GarageBand on iOS because if someone had told me this it would have saved me from having to work everything out myself and saved much time and frustration in the process.
As far as I'm aware you can't remove a track completely. You can delete the audio and then reuse the track however. Just select the track in settings tracks and double tap the menu button and select a new instrument if required. As for extending loops, when I loop a loop it then plays for the entire length of the section. Some times VoiceOver doesn't read out position when moving extending or shortening track sections. Either wait a bit longer after the tritone before moving the handle, move it more slowly or if all else fails, save the project by tapping menu songs and then exit GarageBand remove the app from the app chooser via double home button and try again occasionally I will take all open apps from memory and restart the iDevice. GarageBand like much apple software doesn't always play nice with VoiceOver and only saving and trying again helps. A drink or a cup of tea can often help with GB frustration I've found and add a nice walk in the fresh air when required. (Smile) Instead of selecting loop from track settings try double tapping on the loop section. The handles should appear and you can expand with out having to set loop at all. My understanding is that setting loop will make any audio repeat until the end of a section with out having to stretch anything. Some hints by the way. When using the track mixer I've found vertical navigation is great to move up and down through same controls across multiple tracks. Great for tweaking multiple track levels etc. probably obvious to most but I'm a bit slow with these things. Hints are invaluable along with chooser in GarageBand too. Also it's very helpful to know how to use volume and other such controls in iOS. Some people only know flicking up or down to move by larger increments like 10%. Double tap and hold until the tritone and moving left or right will decrease or increase and moving up or down the screen will decrease or increase the amount of change. Ie double tap and hold till tritone and move to the right and volume etc will increase very rapidly but if you first slide your finger up and then to the right and you can increase by as little as 1%. Move slowly as there can be a lag in VoiceOver giving an audible response. I move a bit and then wait a second to here how much and repeat until I get what I want. Hope some of this helps and let me know if any doesn't make sence and ill go into more detail. Danny.
