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

In this video, I'll teach you how to record and edit a podcast in Garageband so that you can create a professional sounding podcast episode.
Garageband is a software that was primarily built to record music for those using a mac computer, however it's become an easy to use software to create and edit a podcast, too!
In this tutorial, I walk you through all the steps you need to take in order to make this simple, especially moving forward after you get a few episodes under your podcasting belt.
Please note that this is a lesson pulled from my premium podcasting course, Power-up Podcasting (www.poweruppodcasting.com), so if you hear references to other videos or lessons in the course, that's why they are there.
That said, if you've found this video and you have yet to set anything up or plan your podcast, I recommend checking out the 1st video in this playlist (link below) to start your podcasting journey the right way with the latest and most updated material:
• How to Start a Podcast...
Cheers, and good luck on your show!
Note: For PC users, I'd recommend using Audacity. It's powerful, and free, and if it's not already linked to within this video, a tutorial from me will be available very soon.

    YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING!!! I am currently homeless and broken after losing everything after business failure, (the loss includes employed helpers). I have no money and do not know how to beg on the street. Instead, I look for videos like yours to help me reboot. It is SUPER difficult to ward off depression at times so I am SO GRATEFUL for your generosity AND Amazing, Clear articulation during your vids. I just incorporated GarageBand recently and you are the FIRST person I found so easy to follow. I also really love that you include the long standing Audacity. I have used it for years but I REALLY like GB… now that I can clearly understand it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

    Thank you so much, Pat, for the awesome tutorial. The BEST thing for me, however, came towards the end: "it does not matter what your voice sounds like". I've been delaying starting a podcast for over a year now only and only because of this single reason. Thanks a ton!!!

    Really appreciate the simplicity and straight to the point tutorial! I actually purchased a skillshare membership to master Garageband but this is honestly so much faster, just as easy, and exactly what I'm looking for. I'll definitely be keeping the membership for other courses but you saved me a bunch of time and you earned yourself a new subscriber and listener. Thank you!

    Just remember when recording in digital audio always have Peak audio levels at -3 dbs or less. Because the signal to noise ratio is so high in digital audio, you can boost the audio in post after it is recorded and not have really loud hiss like back in the days of analog recordings where you had to record as close to zero DBS as possible to avoid hiss . However if you accidentally peek out over 0 DBS in the red in digital recordings, it's almost impossible to fix in post and is a very common mistake of inexperienced recorders.

    Thanks Glenn! It's definitely a great place to start since it's low-cost (nothing for most), and it's relatively user friendly. There's definitely more powerful software out there (which demos will come for later, like Audition) but this is what I used for years for my podcast before switching, and it's great!

I tried GarageBand on the Mac and not only is it esthetically pleasing, but it seems much more updated and user friendly. It is 3:05am. I can practice when I wake up! Thank you so much! You made it very simple to focus on this.

    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.
