Reply To: Garageband Question

There is no real time-stretching in GarageBand, but you CAN fix a track to the BPM you select. Unfortunately this requires some preparation outside Garageband, but it works pretty fine in the end.

What you need is the Apple Loop Utility and just turn the entire track into one giant loop. You need to know/calculate/find the EXACT BPM of the track, import it into the Apple Loop Utility and set the tempo. Then save as AIFF.

If you import that AIFF into GarageBand, it will stretch along with any tempo you set in GarageBand.

Sorry if my description is a little fuzzy, but I can’t give you exact examples or menu-structures since I switched to Logic several months ago and GarageBand ain’t on my system any more.
