Change tempo without affecting tracks

Trying to figure out how to change the tempo of the song without affecting the previously recorded tracks. I have done a lot of searching and apparently in previous versions of GB there was a box you could uncheck in the editor called "follow pitch and tempo" but I can't find this box.

I recorded live instrument parts before setting the tempo and now I want to add software instruments but when I change the tempo, it speeds up the previously recorded parts.

GarageBand 10, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

Double-click on the Audio Region which will open the Audio Track Editor. On the lower left corner of the Editor window (make sure to drag divider line vertically so all the controls show up), there is a checkbox "Follow Tempo and Pitch".

Hope that helps

Can't figure it out, but that checkbox is only sometimes there. I can't get it to show up for several tracks/regions.

the checkbox will only be there for Audio Regions where this applies. If the box is not there , then most likely that Region won't follow tempo anyways.
