Select “Pitch” from the drop-down menu, and then “Pitch Shifter.” You can adjust by how many semi-tones the vocals have been increased from 0 to 12. To pitch vocals in Garageband, select the vocal track that you want to change, and then go down into its plug-ins in the Smart Control section. Other users like to “pitch” their vocals, which is another way of saying increasing the pitch like what can be heard in “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” but not everyone knows how to do it. You could even set-up a phaser or comb-filtering effect for something a bit out of the ordinary.
For example, you could apply a compressor, an EQ, a limiter, delay, or just reverb. When recording, mixing, and producing vocals, there are a lot of things that can be done to drastically change the nature of the vocal track, some of which I’ve explored in my guide.
