So if you don't see them click here to see the controls. So with this selected here I'm going to make sure that I see the controls. Then I'm going to have to do a trick to get to slow down that section as well. It's going to take two different effects. So now I'm ready to do the tape stop on this section here.

So you can see here I've got the replacement here for this section plus a little overlap. I'm going to move the playback head here and with that selected I'm going to Command V to paste. The track is just going to be a plain audio track. I'm leaving this extra bit here for each one. So instead of all six of these I'm going to get rid of these. I'm just going to get rid of the portions that I'm going to use. Use Command Z to undo to put this stuff back in here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to select this and do Command X to cut it out. But I don't want to do it in this track here. Now that I've got it in one track I can do the tape stop. So now that I've got those split up I'm going to select all the portions here that are in this section and I'm going to do Command J to join them. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to past that and select these regions here and do Command T for splitting as well. But that's not good enough because I actually want to go a little bit past that and you'll understand why later on. I'm going to go to the end and you can see it's already split because it's the end of a looping section for each one. I'm going to use Shift and select all the regions of all of the tracks and then use Command T to split those tracks. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to put the playback head there. So this will be the region of the tape stop. So let's say I want to do the tape stop starting here and going to here. What I'm going to do is I'm going to create another track and it's going to merge these and only use that for the small portion where I have the tape stop. I can only create this effect on one track but I have three tracks here. So you need to have that turned on or you won't find it. We're going to use an audio unit effect to change the pitch. You need to go to GarageBand Preferences and then under Audio/MIDI you need to make sure you've checked Enable Audio Units.

So I'm going to show you how to do this even if you have multiple tracks.įirst things first. It's a little bit simpler if you only have one track but for working in GarageBand chances are we have multiple tracks. Now to make things more difficult I have three tracks here. It's not easy to do in GarageBand but it is possible. It's a matter of applying a pitch bend using Automation and then also slowing down portions of a track. But I haven't found anybody talking about how to do it in GarageBand. Now you can find all sorts of tutorials on how to do this in other apps. So you're both changing the pitch and the speed and it creates an interesting effect. What is a tape stop? Well, a tape stop is an effect of modern music where it sounds like you're listening to a recording on tape and then the tape recorder slows down very quickly.
