I've been trying, without success, to find out how to transpose an imported wav file in Garageband (latest version) on an Imac.  I've searched everywhere for the answer, including youtube, Apple online & telephone help without any success.  I'm considering purchasing Logic Pro X, but won't until it is confirmed that this can be done in Garageband.  Can anyone help please?

you can either:

1. turn audio into an apple loop & pitch it up / down using the pitch track

or

2 use pitch shifter plugin

neither work very well on sustained sounds


to create an apple loop from any audio, the audio must be set to a length of full bars (one or more), then you just drag it to the loop library, the opo up appears; title it etc & save, then find it in loops and drag it onto track and pitch up using the pitch track

or add pitch plugin  in the Smart Control panel and pitch it there.

Thanks 'Old Skool' for your response.  Before posting my question, I did create a loop and managed to transpose it, but it sounded distorted on playback.  I also tried the pitch shifter, but found that it was meant only for vocals and, again, the result was disappointing.  As stated in the question, I have spoken to Apple and they, so far, have not come up with any solutions.
Once again, your response is appreciated.

you can also do this:








but similar to Apple loops when you pitch the audio regions it doesnt sound 100% perfect and some material works better than others.
