I am practicing singing and trying to achieve the notes .I am using garage band , trying to hit the c3 note(vocal training). Is there any way to check the frequency of my "vocal pitch" in garage band.

1How about using a tuner app for your phone? Or does it have to be in GarageBand?– endorphNov 8, 2016 at 4:28

Theres are a couple apps (Vocalist Lite) that can figure out the pitch through your smartphone or mac, read this reddit.com/r/singing/comments/2dboa6/…– Kellen StuartNov 8, 2016 at 22:14

What you're looking for is a tuner. They will tell you how close to the pitch you are.
Google tells me that GarageBand has a tuner. I do not have a Mac, so I can't verify this.
You could also consider a tuner on your phone. My iPhone-wielding friends have generally recommended ClearTune (also Android). I tend to use gStrings. Be careful when googling that.
Finally, you could always use a good old hardware tuner. Available from your friendly local music store (or the interwebs) for a few tens of dollars.

Good old hardware tuner will be most accurate as the harware is optimized for this purpose, while any app will be limited by the accuracy in the phone/device microphone where the harware is general use.– aweFeb 7, 2017 at 10:37

@awe I feel that the microphone on my phone is going to be no worse than the one in a $20-30 piece of hardware, surely? And the signal processing chain should have comparable accuracy, if the app developers know what they are doing. I'm aware that might be a big assumption.– endorphFeb 7, 2017 at 20:29
Had the same problem a while back.
You can install an app if you are using a mac or iphone that can return your pitch. They are surprisingly accurate for what they are.
Here's a blog about the subject.
