Changing Pitch in Garage Band without Echo/Noise

Hi, I am making an audio recording in Garage Band.  Just a voice over for a spec TVC.  I am using an Audio Technica USB mic to narrate.  I would like to change the pitch of my voice to -40 cents, but I am finding it turns it very echoy and adds a bit of a humming noise to certain words.  Any help, greatly appreciated, thanks! 

Garageband has to do all its effects on the fly, while playing back the track. To achieve a better effect, you might take your recording to an audio editor like Audacity, apply the pitch change there, and re-import the altered audio into GB.

  • Uninstall Delete World Book and Garage Band without problems i.e Iphoto

    With only 30GB, I want to free up space. I am concerned that by just dragging these two files to the trash, I will have problems (as mentioned in other discussions).
    Can someone tell me "definitively" how to accomplish this without problems. According to the info on file report, these two programs and associated files take up probably 3-4 GB.
    Thanks so much in advance for any guidance.

    I know of no problems with iPhoto and trashing World Book.
    Hwever, some folks have had problems with iPhoto when Garage Band is trashed - it fails to launch.
    My suggestion is to keep Garage Band (the app itself, minus language resources is only about 80MB) but by all means trash the associated Sound Loops - which is where the Gigs of space go. In fact, trashing the app won't remove these - they're in an Application Support Folder.

  • Reinstalling Garage Band 3

    I have a new Intel DuoProcessor Mac that came with Garage Band Installed. My grandson inadvertently deleted some of Garage Band's features. I have the install disks that came with my computer; and I just want to know if there's a way to just reinstall Garage Band without reinstalling all of the bundled software or the system itself before I start fooling around. Is Garage Band part of the Mac OSX system, or is it bundled software? Thanks

    GarageBand has never been part of the OS, so that's not an issue at all B-)>
    Yes, you can use the Custom Install option on the DVD to install just GB (adn then when you're done, set up a Non-Admin account with limited privs for Grandson B-)>

  • HOW DO I CHANGE THE PITCH OF A MP3 TRACK IN GARAGE BAND 10.0.02

    HOW DO I CHANGE THE PITCH OF A MP3 TRACK IN GARAGE BAND 10.0.02 , i could do it in old version looking at the you tube video, now the screen looks different cant find how to do it. Can some one put up a video please
    Thanks

    There are three ways:
    Use an AuPitch filter on the track
    Or turn the audio region into a loop
    Enable "Follow Tempo and Pitch" for the track and use the transposition slider (that does not always work reliably)
    To add an AuPitch filter:
    Enable the audio Units in the GarageBand Preferences and then open the Smart Controls.
    To add the AuPitch filter audio unit, click the Audio Unit button and enlarge the Smart Controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.
    click the Audio Units Brick and add the AuPitch filter:
    Type the pitch change in cents (100 cents per half note step) into the text field below the pitch control.
    To create a loop from the audio file:
    Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
    Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
    Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
    You will be able to transpose the sample like a regular loo by changing the project key.

  • Why can I not update Pages, Garage Band, Numbers and  Keynote after changing my hard drive and reloading Maverick?

  • In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
    Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

  • How do you make audio fast without changing pitch?

    How do you make audio fast without changing pitch?

    PrPro may have that but I've always just gone over to Audition ... you change speed there, you're given a choice of keeping the pitch the same or allow it to change. Note ... if there's much cha ge in speed the result can be odd.

  • After changing Itunes account information, how do I get Garage Band songs back from Apple TV 1st Gen to my MacBook?

    I made a few songs on Garage Band and shared them with my Apple TV, 1st generation.  Then, my Itunes account got hacked and I had to change my Itunes ID and password.  Now, those songs are only on the Apple TV drive, but do not show up on my Itunes music list.  (I deleted them from the Garage Band application, apparently.)  Is there some way to get them back onto my MacBook.  I want to use them in an Imovie.  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you would need to remove the hard drive from the Apple TV and connect it to your Mac using an appropriate cradle in order to remove those files.

  • How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track?

    How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track? Thanks.

    What exactly are you trying to do? You can drag any region by grabbing it in the middle of the upper area with the highlighted name of the region. However, if you move it towards the end of the track, the length of the track will get longer, to accommodate the extra part of the region. DO you want to speed up the region, to shorten it or do you want to trim it? You can simply grab the right margin of the region and drag it, to make the region shorter.

  • Garage Band '11, version 6.0.5 will not change key after new project is started

    Garage Band '11 version 6.0.5:  Cannot change key after new project is started.
    It has always worked ok prior to this. And I have had other issues. How do I reinstall Garage Band '11?
    I have looked in downloads, but can'ty find any download file. I had upgraded to Mac OSX 10.6.8 couple years back, which included
    Garage Band '11, a new ITunes & new IPhoto.

    Before reinstalling I'd try HangTime's fix for "oddball" problems and delete the User preferences and repair permissions, see the FAQ:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/OddBallProbs.html
    The GarageBand 6.0.5 update is here: 
    GarageBand 6.0.5
    If you want to reinstall, install again the GaragaBand application from your installation disk and then upgrade again to 6.05 using the link above or Software update from the Apple Menu.

  • Garage Band 09 Changes Core Audio

    I upgraded to Garage Band 09 on my aluminum 20", 2.4G Core 2 Duo, 2-GB RAM iMac. I record through a Lexicon Omega USB interface.
    The Lexicon Omega has three possible USB interfaces: Channels 1-2 I/O; Channels 3-4 I only; and Mac USB. One chooses the interface using Audio MIDI Setup.app. I chose the first option above, which was the default offered by the app to set the Mac's core audio system.
    I then launched the new Garage Band and, using GB's metronome for tempo, laid down four guitar tracks. Very nice and easy!
    I then wanted to include a software drum loop. As soon as I chose it, GB said it had to download 1.1 GB of updates. OK...I did so. Relaunching GB, I now had my loops, but the audio input, under "Preferences", was now Mac USB. No external others were available. The guitar input now had insufferable latency.
    Please don't offer to tell me to do all of the anti-latency things. Bottom line is it worked, and now it doesn't.
    I can quit GB, launch Audi MIDI Setup, and set it again to Channels 1-2 USB. But as soon as I launch GB, it changes it to Mac USB with no other choices.
    Why is a program such as GB allowed to change a core system setting? How do I fix it? It has ruined my ability to use the program.

    I have the same equipment you do, and have been encountering similar problems. Sometimes I've had Channels 1-2 available, sometimes Mac USB, and sometimes, as right now, Audio Midi Setup cannot connect to the Lexicon Omega at all, although its icon still shows.
    USB is finicky, and with a dozen USB devices it can be a trouble-shooting nightmare. I'm going to look for a firmware update for the Omega. I have a Logitech Harmony Universal Remote (USB, IR, with an RF Extender) which was nearly unusable for two years until a recent firmware update corrected the connection problems.
    Please, let me know if you learn anything!

    10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
    Any help would be appreciated
    BTW
    Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.
    cheers

  • How can I change the tempo on drums in Garage Band 10.0.2? Not tempo of project.

    I need to change the tempo of the drums that came with Garage Band 10.0.2 to fit the tempo of the other tracks in my project.  How can I do this?  I don't want to change the tempo of the other tracks.  Thanks.

    A drummer track follows the tempo of the project automatically. You can switch between different drummers, and change the drum pattern of the regions in the Track editor by dragging the puck around between simple or complex, louder soft.
    But you can only adjust the beats per minute of the whole project, not for the drummer track individually.
    If you want to change only the tempo of the drum track, you have to use a work around, for example export your finished drum track as an audio file with a different tempo and reimport it.
    silence all tracks but the drummer track.
    set the tempo to a different value in the LED display.
    Share the audio track to the disk.
    Reset the tempo to normal and unsilence your other tracks.
    Reimport the drum track.

  • Garage band help appears in a foreign language. can i change the help to english?

    in os 10.9.7 garage band help appears in a foreign language. Can i change the Garage band help to help to english?

    The GarageBand help is supposed to use the language that is set as your Primary Language in the System Preferences:
    Check the settings, drag the language you want to use to the top of the list,  and restart the system .
    I that does not fix it, reinstall GarageBand. Then the correct language files are probably missing in the application bundle.
