    You can transpose the regions in a track like this: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chs175dc411

     

    Transpose regions in the track

    You can change the pitch of (or transpose) recordings or loops in a track up or down by semitones or octaves. After you turn on transposition for a track, any new recordings or loops you add to the track are also transposed.

    • Tap Transposition.
    • To transpose by octaves, tap the Octaves up or down arrow, or swipe vertically to transpose by multiple octaves.
    • To transpose by semitones, tap the Semitones up or down arrow, or swipe vertically to transpose by multiple semitones.

    Transposition applies to all regions in the track for the current song section, but you can choose different transposition values for the same track for different song sections. If you move or copy a region to a different section with a different transposition value, the value appears as Multiple. For more information about song sections and transposition, see Extend a song with song sections.

    I tried that but the track speeds up, I want to change the pitch and NOT the tempo.

    Then is something wrong with your GarageBand installation.

     

    Transposition should only change the pitch, not the tempo.

    This is the iPhone app I'm talking about.

    Transposing regions on the iPhone works the same as on the iPad:  http://help.apple.com/garageband/iphone/2.0/index.html#chs175dc411
