Garageband Hints and Tips: Transposing song section in Garageband

Garageband Hints and Tips: Transposing song section in Garageband

There is a bug in Garageband that affects transposing, but the fix is easy...

Say you create a 4 bar recording of piano...
you then pull the right side of 4 bar section to repeat it over and over...
say you do this for 16 bars...
you now have a piano piece that is 16 bars long...
say you want to transpose song after 8 bars using the global pitch adjustment
you would simply move the pitch bar up a semitone, and you're done...
problem is... sometimes the pitch does not go up as it should (or down as the case may be)
the fix, is to take the 4 bar piano part, and pull it out to 8 bars...
then duplicate this bar and move it across to the right to create your 16 bars...
now the song with change pitch correctly at 8 bars, because the pitch change is at the boundary of a loop section!
hope this makes sense!

Give it a try!
