When using Extreme Tuning, set the key of your song in GarageBand before applying the effect for best results. You can then additional effects like echo or reverb.

Set the key and scale of the song

Extreme Tuning uses your song's key and scale settings to apply the effect. If the actual key or scale of your song differs from the key or scale setting, the effect might be less pronounced, or might change the pitch of individual notes in the track in undesirable ways.

GarageBand songs defaults to the key of C.
