When I tried to adjust the pitch cents nob to 100’s, it never stopped at 100, double zeros. I didn’t know that I had to lower the cents in 100’s to be in tune. But when someone tried to come up and play a guitar or harmonica along with me, we were always out of tune. When I went to an Open Mic event and played my adjusted ITunes song and sang, things were going well. This worked fine if I was singing alone with GB. When I adjusted the Pitch control nob, I would adjust it to a number that seemed to match my vocal range, usually lower than the original song. I have been using AuPitch to adjust the pitch of the ITunes song. I’m singing and not playing a musical instrument. These should be multiples of 100, if you want to go up or down by semi-tones. Click and hold the blue line that becomes visible:ġ4) Next Select “Audio Units > Apple > AUPitch”ġ6) Note that you can double-click on the number of cents and put in an exact amount.
