Hi! This was very helpful. I have to create a Podcast for one of my Psychology classes, and the professor suggested GarageBand. However, she's also asking for the Podcast script. Do you know how I can get it off of GarageBand? Please!!
GarageBand doesn't have a transcription tool, but you can export your audio and run it through one. I've had good luck with Otter.ai (I believe there is a free trial). I hope that helps!
Thanks for the video. Can I just ask a few questions (I'm a novice!!). First, if I want to record a podcast with me and one other person using my MacBook Air (using GarageBand) how do I link two microphones and two sets of headphones to the one laptop to do that? Second question, if I want to intersperse the conversation with playing music from the laptop, will the music just be picked up if I play it through the laptop (e.g. through Spotify) or do I need to import the music some other way? Thanks in advance!
Ask away! You'll likely need an adapter that plugs into your Air and has two USB inputs. You can get a headphone splitter to attach two headphones. Here's a good video on how to get GarageBand to read both microphones: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nG6XJMgX4bk.html For music, you'll need to import it as an audio file for the highest quality. You can create a new track and add the music there. I hope that helps!
Thanks for the info. I'm using a Yeti premium multi-pattern usb microphone and HD300 Sennhesier headphones, my mic picks up everything even the birds chirping outside. Is there a feature in GarageBand that can eliminate background noise?
GarageBand doesn't have a great noise reduction option unfortunately. One thing that could help is to make sure you're using the cardioid polar pattern on your Yeti (the one that looks like a heart). The other polar patterns will pick up more room noise.
All in all, a useless "instructional" video. All she has done is tell us which buttons to push. Most of that is intuitive already: taken care of in the programming. "Click the dropdown; click on your microphone, and that's that." No word on how to get your device into the dropdown, or what to do if your device doesn't appear in the dropdown. In other words: no information on how to operate the software, just how to click buttons provided.
Thanks for your feedback! Sorry this video didn't answer your questions. Typically your mic should appear in the dropdown once it's plugged in. Sometimes it doesn't appear due to security settings on your mac. Here's a good video on how to fix that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9uEAmNO0mhE.html This is a great tutorial if you're trying to record with two USB mics and if you're only seeing one in the dropdown: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nG6XJMgX4bk.html I hope that resolves the issue!
Thank you so much for this! Yours was one of the first videos I watched when I was thinking of starting a channel and I've used your method to boot up garageband ever since! I always come back to this to double check im still doing it right
I'm so glad it was helpful! I created a free online course where I talk about editing in Audacity. I don't have anything created for Garageband unfortunately, but I hope to in the future. Here are the editing videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YCi5fhsnaUk.html And here's a blog post that might be helpful: liftpodcasting.com/free-resources/exporting-your-podcast
I'm actually not sure! I always use wired microphones and headphones with podcasting to avoid issues with connectivity during a recording. Sorry I don't have an answer on that one!
I recorded a voice as you showed, but I was able to hear it just with the headset. Without a headset, I couldn't hear anything. Could you please explain how to fix this issue?
My guess is that you need to switch the output on GarageBand. In the menu go to GarageBand>Settings. Then click on the Audio/MIDI tab at the top. Under Devices, change your Output Device to your computer's speakers. Hopefully that helps!
So sorry to do that while you were in the middle of it! I'm glad to hear you were finding it helpful. I took the podcast down because I'm doing some rebranding. I'll be putting up that content again in the next month, and I'll send you a note here when it's live!
Wonderfully simple thank you. How would you complete it by stopping, re-recording, deleting and uploading? Could you please do a video on how to phase music in when doing an intro to a podcast?
The way that I've done that is to set up everything how I want it, and then save the project and call it "Template." Then when I start a new episode, I open the Template project and Save As a new project. I hope that helps!
thank you for explaining this for me! i just got recommended some trash ai video where the cript was clearly ai generated, and im so grateful to get away from that and come back to a video made by a real person. 😭 thank you for your help!
Hey! I'm a little late to this video but it's a great job! Thank you. My question is about my friend and I who want to podcast together remotely. How would you recommend we get the highest quality audio recording? The plan was to use Discord as our meeting space (Discord stage channel), then record our individual mic inputs of the conversation via a recording app, then upload the audio files into two tracks on Garage band. What are your thoughts? Could Garage band also function as that recording app for our call over Discord? Thank you!
Thank you! That is the best way I've found to get the highest quality audio. I made a video about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4oj3bFoSeEk.html You could also use an online recording studio like Riverside or Zencastr. I made a video about that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KV0tVLP1dqA.html
It's hard to know without seeing it, but I would check my Garageband preferences, and make sure the Audio Output (under the Audio/MIDI tab) is set to my headphones.
Here is the first of a set of videos I created on recording remotely. Hopefully this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4khCDixw5HI.htmlsi=Xikar9aAMIXEPUjC
I like your smooth and understandable way of explaining things. Though I'm from Germany and so am no native english speaker, I can understand everything quite well. Thanks a lot for the good work. Thumb up and subscribed :-)
You would create a new track and import the music file you'd like to use. I don't have a video on adding music in GarageBand, but this one in Audacity uses the same principles. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F8IH6cRyKao.html
I found this on adding podcast to a Patreon account: support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004204206-Setting-up-a-podcast-on-Patreon You would first need to export your audio from GarageBand by going to Share > Export Song to Disk. Be sure to have MP3 selected.
I can see why you're the first result in a search for garage band setup for podcast! Great Job! Fast clear intro, smooth delivery, densely packed efficient information... exactly what everyone needs with quick explanations as to why you are doing what you're doing! Thank you!
Thank youuuuuu. Short and sweet and full of useful and good information for us just starting out. Really appreciate the time you spent on creating this video luv.
The Rodecaster has several outputs including the mixed tracks and individual tracks. Here are the directions on how to set it up so you can record each mic to its own track: cdn1.rode.com/rodecasterpro/Garageband/Mac/RCP_Multitrack_Guidelines_Garageband.pdf
Very nice video ... a lot of other "explain-GB-in-30-seconds" RU-vidrs can learn a lot from you (i.e., they learn how to explain it quickly and clearly!)
