Non-standard Pitch & Tuning

Does anyone know if there is a way to alter the standard tuning pitch in Garageband and/or Logic? I tune my instruments to 438hz rather than 440hz, so is there a way to change the tuning in the software so that the loops fit with my acoustic recordings?

I think your best bet would be to record your own tuning tones. You should be able to use a software instrument to record a pure tone for a few seconds and pitchbend it to your needs.

While it was for A440, there were several suggestions on how to do this sort of thing for GB1. Does anybody remember what I am remembering? Or are we all too spoiled with the built-in tuner?

It just seems that, because the accordion is the only out of tune instrument, a plugin in to raise the pitch of the recorded accordion track would be the easiest. I have seen a few plugins but these are in the $299.00 range which seems pricey for the simple thing he is trying to do.

Anyone know of a cheaper alternative?

Can you tune an accordion? According to internet sites on the subject it ain't easy!
