FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT THEYRE TALKING ABOUT.
Glad you enjoyed it Kat! -Dean
Amen makes everything clear
bro, that sounds great. Cant believe the quality of music you can make with GB
Hey Isaac (I'm just seeing this for some reason), yeah thanks, it's pretty wild what they make available in a free program nowadays. You can make albums with this stuff! (I produced a pop single entirely in GB to challenge myself! You can hear it at DeanDavisMusic.com.) Good to hear from you Isaac, -Dean
@@thesongwritingstudio5783 thanks a lot for this , i have composed and programmed many songs with GB , but i used to forget to set the Key of the project. i had kept many at just C Major , the default. Damn !! it really makes a difference doesnt it. setting the key. if i am in singing in FMinor and my project key is at CMajor , does it make huge difference??
Hey @@mithileshtarkar1! It won't make a huge difference but you will notice the difference it makes when you sing a note that is meant for the key of F#m that doesn't exist in the key of C and the pitch correction will push that note into a note in the key of C rather than F#m. One way that you could work around it is by clicking off of the "Limit to Key" button in the edit window of your track. That way, it will just push the note to the note you are singing instead of pushing the note to the nearest note in the key of C... make sense? Hope that helps Mithilesh! -Dean
@@thesongwritingstudio5783 Thank you, Dean , yep it does. :)
@@mithileshtarkar1 Awesome! -Dean
Subbed man and the bell is on! This is golden. Super helpful. It's incredibly hard to find tutorials that are actually helpful for this stuff on RUclips and you really fill that niche! Thank you

Great video Dean!!! 🙌🏾
Thank you so much for these videos you have helped me sooo much
I think I really need a video of just the part where you break it down with your kids!!! Seriously funny!!! But this is s very helpful tutorial and I appreciate that you are incorporating your faith in the Lord God Almighty as well!!! Bless you
Hey Adrian, your comment was a highlight for me today! Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it (and yes, my kids and I enjoyed the song break as well :P)! -Dean
great video, really helped, will use this very well, thanks
Hey Super SJD, so glad to hear it helped! Also, I am listening to your song "neverending plain" while checking emails... nice work! -Dean
thanks
Can you explain the smart control things with pitch correction? Like what root note is, and scale/chord type, and detune. It appears in the smart controls after you apply the pitch correction
God damn, you can sing. Perfect for edm pop.
Subbed right away
Glad to have you Daniel! -Dean
Holy sheit. Thank you
You're welcome Wade, glad you enjoyed it! -Dean
This is super helpful, however in my GarageBand, I click the scissors and “track” is highlighted but nothing is underneath it. I don’t see pitch correction or anything for that matter. It’s just a blank tab. Do I not have something enabled?
Nevermind I just read a bunch of comments and you already answered someone with the same problem! Thanks!
Hey Ashley, great question. If you are not seeing the pitch correction slider then you probably need to expand the edit window by clicking on the top of the edit window and dragging it up. When you do that a couple of "hidden" features should appear. -Dean
Super helpful dude thanks!!! Earned my sub
So glad you enjoyed it Jack! And thank you sir! -Dean
yes! this is exactly what I needed! thank you
So glad to hear that Emma, you're welcome! -Dean
My Auto-Tune sounds worse then my normal voice
Bless you Sir!
Thanks Kevin!
for some reason limiting to key always skips the second and sixth step of the scale. Is there something I’m missing?
GREAT VIDEO
Thanks PERUBA, glad you enjoyed it! -Dean
Lmao 😂 “Dad is a weirdo” That
You can sing!!!
Thank you, KingJ :) You can check out a new single (and a new song every 60 days!) at DeanDavisMusic.com!
Great video! I am never sure what key my songs are in!
Thank GPMD, hope it was useful!... As for what key you are in, here's a jumpstart on finding out what key you might be playing in...
A. Check out this video for a chart that will help you find what key you are in... ruclips.net/video/G6bD1qJxRow/видео.html
B. Here are a few common keys you might be playing in:
1. If you're playing chords like G C D Em, you're in the key of G
2. If you're playing chords like C G F Am, you're in the key of C
3. If you're playing chords like E A B C#m, you're in the key of E
4. If you're playing chords like D G A Bm, you're in the key of D
5. If you're playing chords like F Bb C Dm, you're in the key of F
6. If you're playing chords like A D E F#m, you're in the key of A
7. If you're playing chords like B E F# G#m, then you're in the key of B
*if you're playing guitar and using a capo, then this would shift what key you're in UP however many steps/frets your capo is on your guitar!
Hope that helps!
-Dean
How do you use Auto Tune if you are recording a song that modulates to a different key later in the song?
Hey Grady, fantastic question. If I were doing a song that modulates then when I go to turn on the pitch correction in GB I would NOT engage the "limit to key"button, as that button will make all of your notes be pushed toward the key that is determined in the project header, but if you do not engage that button it will simply tune your vocal to a chromatic scale, essentially pushing the performance to the closest note whether it's in the key or not. With this technique though (as with pitch correction in general) you will really need to be hitting your marks and work hard to have a performance that is not pitch before it hits pitch correction. Hope that helps Grady! -Dean
Lol!! Yo Dean you’re too funny ! I love your creativity man! I needed that laugh.
:P... glad it was helpful and humorous! -Dean
So you click on the key and bpm to change them to the right ones ??
dopeee bro
Glad you enjoyed it Cheick! -Dean
It’s your boy
Which vocal preset you used to record when natural pitch correction
Hey Nygil! I actually didn't use a vocal preset for the natural pitch correction, I processed the vocal myself. I have a 3 point system that I do to almost every vocal which I share in a video called Mixing Pop Vocals In GarageBand, you can see it here! ruclips.net/video/5MrigStj6tE/видео.html
"I was born in West Virginia" ... I like that. I'm from WV.
Ha nice! Well maybe that song was written for you David :P -Dean
Appreciate You
Yessir, glad it was helpful. -Dean
subed thanks for the help!
Glad it was helpful, Cooper, and thanks for the comment & sub! -Dean
THANKS GOD
Glad you enjoyed it Mary! -Dean
Is there a way to auto tune certain parts of the song but not on others?
Hey Rachel! Really good question. The answer is no... and yes :). No, you can't have the pitch correction feature turn on and off throughout the course of a song BUT(!) you can get creative and simply make a duplicate track (Cmd+D) for your vocals so that you can give one pitcher correction and one no pitch correction. From there you can cut your vocal performance into sections (highlight the take, put the playhead where you want to cut and hit Cmd+T to split a take) and then simply drag the different parts of your vocal performance into you pitch corrected track or into your non pitch corrected track. Hope that helps Rachel! -Dean
These tools: are they also in the iOS version of GB? Thanks.
Yes Robert, they are in iOS GB but they look a little different. When you open a new voice track in GB iOS there is a knob called "Pitch Control" (it's in the top row, middle knob) and that is essentially the same thing as the pitch correction slide in the OS version of GarageBand. Hope that helps Robert! -Dean
The Songwriting Studio Thanks, Dean.
@@bobbo924B Yes sir! -Dean
In step one how do you set the key?
I don’t have the choice to set key can anyone help on how to get that option on my screen?
Is there away to do this AFTER the vocals were recorded?
Hey Elliot! Yes, actually all of the processing you see me do in this was video done AFTER the vocals were recorded! So after you record a take then you should be able to go into that track and do what I show you in this video and get the same autotune effect! -Dean
Can someone help me pls..what if my songs shifts from C chord to D..it will affect the notes right.so how to do it without affecting the shifting
Thank u I hit u with that a sub
Hey James, appreciate that man -Dean
After I click the scissors an track is selected but there’s nothing under it ? Someone help
I use garageband. It is so great especially since it’s free 💜
Very cool Athena, and yes agreed! -Dean
Okay this is Great! But I make Hip-Hop/R&B Music and I'm trying to learn to Record myself. I only want to use Pitch Correction for a more Natural sound. And as a hip hop artist, I don't always create the instrumentals I use. How do I find the Key to set it before I begin auto tuning? Please get back to me asap, thanks in advance! Great Video (:

So glad to hear Spartanm, thanks for the encouragement and for subscribing! -Dean
Very nice! Glad to have you on!
what does enable flex button do?
It lets you change the timing of the recorded track and pitch it up or down
Thanks Just Did a Bass that Was Out of Tune !!!
Haha nice!
Can’t you just record without autone then jsut add all of that stuff after? Some people
Don’t know what key to put it in when recording.
Yes indeed you can live fast. You can do it either way, record with it on to get a feel for how it's going to sound or record with it off and add it later. As far as finding what key you're in, they are lots of resource on youtube/google for finding what key you're in, it is just a way that will help the pitch correction feature sound it's best. Here's a few resources....

hey could you give me a few EDM melody tips?
Hey Will! Hmmmm well, my biggest tip would be to experiment. Meaning, I try LOTS of different singing/instrument ideas and even ask friends to collaborate and throw out their melody ideas. My second tip be to use a keyboard to try and play out vocal melody ideas and then vice versa, try and use your voice to come up with synth parts. That's all for now, feel free to ask more questions Will! -Dean
Thank you! I appreciate it, helps a lot. Love the music you make.

I don't have a pitch correction slider, or a limit to key button.. can someone tell me what's wrong with my garageband app? I also don't have all the loops they won't download if that's helpful..
Hey TwoKay, here's a few ideas...
A. When you're in the edit window make sure you have the "Track" tab selected and not the "Region" tab. The pitch correction tools are only visible from the "Track" tab.
B. If that doesn't work, then your edit window may be too small to show those features. Take your mouse and hold it over the top line of the edit window and you can grab it and pull it up and make the edit window bigger which will sometimes show more features that were hidden when the window was smaller.
Let me know if that helps TwoKay!
-Dean
mine doesn't show up unless i go fullscreen btw
Yes, SSS that is correct, thanks for sharing!
As mentioned bellow, you can't see if unless you make GB fullscreen or unless you grab your edit window (by hovering over the top of the edit window, then clicking and dragging) to make the edit window bigger. When you do this a few features appear. Hope that helps!
-Dean
how do you find the pitch correction slider on 10.2 garageband ?!
Hey Jovani!
It is in the same place in v. 10.2 just make sure that when you have the edit window open that you have the "Track" tab selected. The other tab is the "Region" tab and it doesn't not contain the pitch correction slider, only the Track tab does. Hope that helps Jovani!

same, i cant find the pitch correction on 10.2

This video didnt help me. What about the vocal EQ.. and you shouldn't use preset effects you should use the plugins
Hey Jake, I hear you. In this video I focused specifically on the autotune/pitch correction feature. EQ is something that I address in a mixing video... ruclips.net/video/5MrigStj6tE/видео.html... And as far as presets, I think they're a great place to start for someone who is new to recording/mixing and they want to get going quick! -Dean

Can someone help me pls..what if my songs shifts from C chord to D..it will affect the notes right.so how to do it without affecting the shifting
As long are you are not shifting keys then it will work just fine when you change chords on your instrument! You would only run into a problem if you are changing keys... for example: if you started in the key of G (G Am Bm C D Em D/F#) and you moved between any of those chords the pitch correction would still work correctly BUT if you shifted keys mid song to A (A Bm C#m D E F#m E/G#) then it might try and push your new vocals into the key of A! Hope that helps! -Dean
Thank u for replying admin..so u mean theres no solution to that?u cant use autotune if ur song shifts chords??? I really need to know coz i got alot of songs which shift in the last chorus to build up melodic energy
@@jettv.official4480 You're welcome!... Not that I know of... but one solution may to be not engaged the "limit to key" button and simply push the pitch correction slider up to around 55. This might help push notes to the nearest note without pushing them into the wrong key. -Dean
Thank u so much sir Dean...i really love ur channel.i learn a lot coz im also a garage band user... Thank u so much sir :)
