How to Record & Edit a Podcast in Garageband (Complete Tutorial)

Thanks Pat! This is great. I know a lot of people use different utilities, but I have Garage Band and this is very helpful in giving me a place to start.

clear explanation…thanks!

You are the man Pat! This just helped me design my workflow to cut down editing time.

this helped so much! thanks

Thank you! Really well done. Thankfully there are people out there like you making up for Apple’s increasing disregard for simplicity and “just work”.

This video has been tremendously helpful for me, thank you so much! One question: I have some clients that I burn my interviews onto a CD for. Is there a way to break a 50 minute interview into tracks for their CD players? (rather than having one LONG track on the CD?)

Just wanted to say thanks Pat. This was very helpful.

Helpful video! You showed how to delete at the End of his recording. How do you edit/delete a measure from within the recording?

Thanks man. I am working on starting up my own podcast and I am not overly familiar with garageband. Your videos have been helpful. I am rewatching the video you did for creating a podcast template

OMG thank you for teaching this!!!!!!!! So appreciate you Pat!

Finally, someone who explains audio editing plain and simple! Nice job, Pat!

Tip for using Levelator: If you have Intro/Outro music, first edit and export only the vocal track without the Intro/Outro and put it through the Levelator. Then add the Intro/Outro music to the vocal track from the Levelator and export in your desired format. If you export with the Intro/Outro music and then put it through the Levelator it might distort the sound of the music. Hope this helps.

So glad I found your video tutorial. Great job. Learning step-by-step how to record podcast. I’ve noticed that my sound wave is a flat-line (I still can hear the track but it shows flat-line). I connected mic to Yamaha MG10XU mixer and that to the MacBook.

This is a helpful half a tutorial. What about compression or mixdown?

Incredible work. Thanks Pat!

Thank you so much for this, I plan on launching my podcast this November and this has helped me alot!

Thank you. I am completely new to this and already by 4:00 in I’ve got GarageBand set up and ready to go.
Thanks again for taking the time to make this.

hey thanks for the video! My Garage Band still adjusts the levels automatically… any clue why that might be? I use a blue yeti
