GB keeps changing the tempo on my real instrument track!

Hey, newbie here with a problem. I know that by default GB will change real instrument tracks to match the project tempo. So whenever I create a new track for a real instrument, I open up the track editor to unclick the box for this option. First of all, it doesn't even let me access the box unless I first record something in the track. Then, even if I uncheck the box, as soon as I go to create a new track, GB changes the tempo and I see the box checked again! It's like the program wants to do this no matter what. I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. It's driving me nuts and made me waste a lot of time. Help!

To answer the last post you left in the GB1 forum...
You're still not understanding what I said. GB does not change the tempo of what you played to match the projects tempo UNLESS you change the tempo of the project after you've recorded the track.
There is an Enhance Timing feature you can turn on which will try to make your playing match the projects tempo, but here is the clearest example I can give:
If you set the project tempo to 40, and then you play some guitar at a tempo of 200, GB will not do anything to change that. Your playing will still be at 200BPM. All GB is in this case is a "Tape Recorder".

  • How can I change the tempo and pitch of individual tracks on Garageband 10.0.3?

    I just recently started using Garageband 10.0.3 and it's been updated completely, which is good in some ways. However, many things have been cleaned up and/or hidden and it's taken me a while to find certain tools or do certain things.
    I've been trying to change the pitch of tracks in my project and it's taken me forever to find out how, but eventually I did. I think, though, that it changes the pitch of the whole project? (I changed the pitch by using one of the plugins, I think it's called AUPitch?) I have to double-check that, but that's how I've been changing the pitch of the tracks.
    To the bigger problem... Tempo. I have searched for a good 2 hours trying to find out how to change the tempo of tracks individually and I'm really frustrated. I tried the BPM solution (changing the BPM at the very top), but that seems to change the whole project. I just want to change the tempo of individual tracks, not the whole thing. Is it even possible now?
    I'm really considering using a different program. Hopefully this is just me being slightly clueless and not Garageband's fault.

    The AuPitch filter will work on individual tracks, no problem.
    But you can change the tempo only for the entire project with the global tempo setting or the Tempo Track.
    As a work-around: To change the tempo of individual tracks solo each track, change the tempo, then bounce the track as an audio file and reimport that audio file with the changed tempo to an audio track.

    Hello,
    Have you blown the dust out lately?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Changing The Tempo Of Audio Tracks....Help Please!!

    Hi,
    I've been pulling my hair out! I bought Logic 9 today, and have been trying to find my feet making a mashup of Enya's Orinoco Flow and The Prodigy Smack My B*tch Up....It's one of the easiest 2 tracks to mix apparently. Right...to the problem, and i'm sure it's a simple one for anyone with some Logic knowledge...
    The BPM for the prodigy song in audio track 1 is 136.2 which is the base bpm i want to keep for the song...
    I then import Enya into Audio track 2....How on earth do i change the tempo of the enya track to 136.2 ??!! I have tried everything (Except what works, clearly)
    I hope that makes sense...Any help would be apreciated!
    Thanks

    Are they? Wow, I had to read that bit twice, but I suppose the suggestion is that they're not too far apart in terms of tempo anyway - try establishing the tempo of both of them exactly, then you've got an idea about how much you need to adjust one against the other if the maths is too difficult (it is often for me, I prefer just to listen to it and try things and then decide).
    Have a look at using the Time Machine for starters, anyway and do a bit of research in the manual and the Software Instruments manual as well - you can do things like that with the EXS24 sampler but in a different way, you know.

  • How can i change the tempo of a track without changing pitch?

    I did this before but for the life of me can't figure out how i did it. Usually when I change the tempo (BPM), the recorded tracks sound warbly. But on some of my projects, this doesn't happen even though they're "real" sound recordings.
    Both projects are using Groove Fix and under "Pitch" I have "Follow tempo and pitch" checked off. Why is one project
    changing tempo seamlessly while the other project is warbling along? Automatic tuning is not the issue because neither project is enabled for that.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties.  I just found this thread that might better explain it:

  • I am trying to change the tempo of a loop from Garageband.

    Hi,
    I am trying to change the tempo of a loop from garage band. I have seen video tutorials where people would do this from just below their tabs in their editor. However I cant get that option to come up.
    Also, I have tried using the Apple Loop utility, and I can change the BPM at the bottem but then it wont let me save the file.
    I would prefer to change the tempo in soundtrack pro but at this point I will try anything.
    Thx for listening.

    Left pane, Project Tab. Scroll down to the bottom and find tempo and key settings. These will control any loops in your project.

  • How do you change the tempo of a drum loop?

    Forgive my ignorance but I am still familiarizing myself with all the features of the program. How do you change the tempo of a drum loop? I see in the help file where it tells you how to change the projects overall tempo but not where to change the drum tempo itself. Thanks.

    Nevermind I found it, thanks.

  • How to change the tempo in ultrabeat

    I simply want to know how to change the tempo of a beat to the desired speed... all i can see thus far is under resolution, 1/12, 1/16, etc. But I want to match the tempo with a sample I am using which I have pasted onto an audio track.. and those increments obviously are insufficient in getting me the desired speed...
    some assistance would be greatly appreciated.. thanks

    Check your metronome settings first. Either click hold, or right (command) click on the record button.
    If everything checks out there, go to your mixer. Check the all (single, arrange, all) button. You should now be able to see instrument track #256 Klopfgeist (sp?). Maybe you deleted it? Add it. Also check it's output is set to the correct channel.

  • Tempo change delay! Why is Logic changing the tempo too late?

    Anyone a solution for this?
    My tempo change is set at e.g. 10.1.1.1 from 60 to 30 bpm. But logic is changing the tempo slightly delayed (about half a second too late.)
    It looks like logic is to slow to handle the tempo change on time:
    When I restart at 10.1.1.1 with the tempo allready set to 30 bpm, everything is fine. Tempo stays at 30 bpm and is not set to 60 bpm during this 0.5 seconds of delay.
    But when I start at an earlier position with a different tempo, I get the wrong tempo again during this 0.5 senconds after the set tempo change at 10.1.1.1

    Yeah that was it, I realised straight afterwards (I'm just impatient lol). Thanks anyway

  • Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?, Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

    Is it possible to change the tempo mid-song in GarageBand for iPad? And if so, how do you do it?

    The tempo setting applies to the whole song, but only to the recorded midi instruments or loops. It's a bit of a kludge, but you could record different sections at different tempos, export each as an AIFF file, then glue them together in a new project.
    The same goes for the key.

  • How do you change the tempo after you have already openned the project

    Is there a way to change the tempo? I know you can set it as you create the new project, but once you have created it, can you change the tempo, particularly on the metronome? And is there a way to hear it without hitting record?

    on the left side of the numerical display click and select "project", then click on the tempo to adjust it.
    the metronome can only sound during record and playback (if selected to in prefs)
