Every time you record a real or software instrument or place a loop on a track, you create a region on that track. As you can see here, there are different colors of regions, and they're not set up that way just to look nice. Each color represents a different type of region. It might seem like a trivial matter at first, but it's actually very important because you can do certain types of edits and changes to some regions, but not to others.
