You can double click on your track to know if you have lined it correctly or not, you can make changed there below and line up your track.
To change your BPM, you can double click on top in the BPM column to add whatever tempo you want to play your track.
Step 3: Select the Bars you want to cut.
If you have lined up your track correctly, you can easily cut any number of bars you want to.
Select the number of bars you would wish to cut.
For example, I have considered Bar 3 and 4 of my track for cutting. I will select Bar 3 as of now before I give the cut command.
Step 4: Give the cut command.
To give the cut command, click command + T. The bar where you have placed your cursor(Bar 3 as our example) will be selected. Now you need to go to the end of bar 4 and click there and give a Command+T again to choose the two bars successfully.
Step 5- Copy and Paste
Once you have created a cut in your track, you must successfully copy it. To copy, click command + C. Once it is copied, you may go to any bar where you would like to paste the cut track. To paste, you will have to give the paste command, which is Command+V. This will paste your track as your designated bar. I have chosen Bar 8 to have my cut track paste; therefore, Bar 8 and 9 will have the same track as Bar 3 and 4.
This completes the Cut process in GarageBand.

Not really. There's a few realtime pitch correction apps, such as the port of Auto-Tune, Singaling, VocaLive, and TC Helicon VoiceRack FX but nothing that works like Melodyne, or is anywhere near as good.
GarageBand also has some pitch correction now, but I haven't tested it.
Are TC Helicon apps just as good as their hardware units?
GarageBand's pitch correction is high quality, but real-time only. No melodyne or flex pitch type editing.

Was just messing with Melodyne (in Rewire mode).. and WOW, if we cannot get this in IOS, it will be great with Ableton Link on the desktop.
Not really, although there are a few iOS apps that have all the technology required, but haven't put in the functionality to work like Melodyne.
That said, if you can describe what you'd like to achieve with Melodyne, there's a good chance somebody can help find a workflow that will produce a reasonable approximation of it.
I've had some success slicing, stretching and roughly pitching vocal/spoken samples into melody/harmony lines in Beatmaker 3 then running each line through Qneo's Voice Synth for auto tuning and effects. Pitching each slice in VirSyn's VoxSyn (then BM3 assembly -> Voice Synth) produces a better result, but is slow work.
The best pitch correction tool is Mu Retune (Auria IAP) when it behaves. The easier to use is Garageband's. None of them offer Melodyne-style graphic pitch correction. I asked Celemony in their FB page and they were very direct: no plans for iOS - but I understand, since a single Melodyne license costs hundreds of dollars and they don't have to share anything with Apple. I also asked Waves - which manufacture Waves Tune, a simpler, cheaper but still very good alternative - and they are yet to give an answer. Waves Tune Lite used to cost $24, I bet many would pay this price, specially because there's no real competition. Well, their loss.
P.S.: just in case someone wants to pester Waves Audio as well, here's the link for their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/waves/

I myself would even pay a subscription price for some graphical pitch correction tool such as Melodyne. This is very much needed on the iPad. I just wrote Celemony via email. Perhaps they've changed their minds now that the latest iPad Pros are super powerful.
I also wrote Image-Line to see if they could adapt NewTone (their version of Melodyne) to iPad. Let's see what replies I shall receive.

It might do nicely for what I use Celemony for which is actually to FSU (fuk shit up)

Hey there's a thought. Image-line might be the ones to get the job done.
Just heard back from Celemony. No such luck. Still no plans. However, the chap what wrote back to me was named Jörg Hüttner. 😱 I couldn't make this up if I tried. Could it be this same chap? http://jorghuttner.com/

Hopefully my alpha tester status could have a bit of pull to this effect, but in case it doesn't, here's the contact form.
Under 'reason of contacting us', select 'other'. I trust you should know how to fill out the rest. Cheers mates.
Yeah it's pretty weird that this gap hasn't been filled yet lol.. especially since there are so many ways of doing this on a desktop..
Looks like Niko doesn't want to show me any audio that I've recorded, nor does it seem to have a basic import function as far as I can tell. That sucks. I hope somebody can craft an app that actually bloody works.
In other news, I heard back from Jörg Hüttner. Low cost ftp server. 😱 And yes, he's the same chap. http://jorghuttner.com/ Consider me gobsmacked!

I've been having some of the same problems with Nika too, and going back and forth with its developer. He's convinced there's something wrong with my device (iphoneX). If you shoot him a message, maybe he'll be more convinced.
I'm still not that excited for the quality of the pitch correction quality when it does work (s'okay on the iPad), but it's got some other tricks that keep me noodling with it.
@jwmmakerofmusic said:

you sang and propose chords to fit that melody. It adjusts pitch after input and let's you override that determined pitch and hear the notes detected and agree or change them to get the melody you hear in
your head.Probably nothing like this idea on IOS and a clever idea for anyone who wants help making chord progressions to match their internal tunes. I think there are features to trial progressions and select substitutions. Good for singer/songwriters that have limited skills generating chord progressions.
A singer could potentially generate a simple lead sheet from the results with chords over the lyrics
to show the band what's could work with a personal song.So, don't focus on it for auto-tune 'cause that's not the intent but for what it can do if you need that.

Nothing like Melodyne on iOS (yet).
At least, pitch and time correction has become quite respectable on iOS.
Auria Pro has elastique Pro on board plus transient/warp modes for real elastic audio.
Cubasis has an audio transpose function including formant shift plus a clip time compress/stretch option.
Amazing Slow Downer and Twisted Wave also have similar options for processing individual samples.@aaronpc said:

AH! I should've thought of that. It's the simplest things one tends to overlook. Thanks mate.
Shit! I planned to redownload Nika, and now it is 'no longer available in your country or region'! Would it kill someone to create a Melodyne-styled app for iOS (even if it's iPad-only)? I'd pay a lot of money ($99 or more) for such an app.

With the latest iPad Pros and iPhone 11s being as powerful as they are, you'd think SOMEBODY would develop a professional tool like this.
Nothing similar to Melodyne anywhere, they have been working on this pitch correction stuff for decades. I've noticed a basic version is now included in a handful of desktop things, Nectar 3 and a few others.
This is annoying asf on iOS. Like seriously. Can we get working Melodyne and auto-tune in a way that works well (auto tune etc for iOS does not work well with any actual microphone outside of EarPods) and makes sense and doesn't force u into the exact key of the song to work (GarageBand). ..
somebody, anybody?
There's an untapped goldmine waiting here..I don't care what it cost, charge the desktop price..just give me something I can make desktop class, professional recordings with!
