The folder button at the bottom right of the screen shows and hides the Library. Here you can find Audio Loops.

VIP also has MIDI Loops. Don't use these yet.

Double-click on folder names to open the folder of loops. The loops are organised by genre (Electronica, Latin, etc.).

Double-click a loop to demo it. Then drag it onto a track to add it to your song.
