Had enough of this Garageband issue

[4God]

O.K., why is it when I import any audio files into GB they play slower than in iTunes or any other player. It changes pitch and tempo. Help....please?

 

[zimv20]

sounds like a mismatch in sample rates.

How can I check/fix?

I believe GarageBand uses 44.1khz, you need to downsample your files to that beforehand.

If your trying to use GarageBand to edit the files I recommend you use Fission or Audacity instead.

Thank you for your replies. 🙂

You can also adjust the tempo of 'real music' files in GB by pressing something like Command control and K. Or Command control and G. There might be a shift involved too. 😀 🙄 I cant remember the exact combo but your 'real instruments' should turn purple then you can edit the tempo and pitch while not affecting the rest of the track/song.

However adjusting the sample rate may be easier. 😉

You're right, I adjusted the sample rate using Soundtrack Pro and re-imported the file into Garageband and it worked perfectly. Thanks again! 😀
