Chapter 6. Fix a Section > Fix Timing and Pitch
6.2. Fix Timing and Pitch
Did you play a wonderful sax solo, but mess up the rhythm on measure 37? Is your singing full of emotion and energy, but you’re a little sharp through the entire chorus? Never fear, GarageBand can help you fix it. Automated Tuning and Quantize Note Timing can tame those out-of-tune notes and wayward beats. Here’s how:
Select the track that contains the offending region. If you messed up in only one specific spot, isolate it with the Split command. Place the playhead at the beginning of the section and choose Edit > Split (Command-T). Do the same at the end of the error.
Double-click the new region with the mistake to open it in the Track Editor.
Press the miniature play button at the top of the track editor next to your region’s name. GarageBand will play just that region over and over again.
Depending on your mistake, choose Automated Tuning or Quantize Note Timing in the left column of the Track Editor, and drag the slider to the right until you like what you hear.
