GarageBand Basics
Begin by opening GarageBand. If a file opens, just X out of it to get to the main menu. Choose "Create New Podcast Episode." You will need to choose a name and location for saving your file. Make sure to take note of what you name the file and where you will save it.

The various options you will use in GarageBand are located in this toolbar.

On this toolbar, you have the options to add instruments, view music and sound loops, edit tracks, record and playback, look at the file info, and open your media browser.

To record, you will choose either the male or female voice track. It will not allow you to record over any other track. It does not matter whether you use the male or female track



You can record and re-record as much as you like. You can also clip and edit your tracks. We will practice this throughout the morning.

Before you make your first real podcast, you will want to write a script. This will make your podcast sound more professional and give you a goal for creation.
