Using GarageBand to Produce a Podcast

Part 4 - Editing Your Podcast

Once you have audio in your podcast project you can start to edit it. Think of the project as a document where you can trim, reorder, delete, copy and paste audio regions.

Moving Audio Regions

Select an audio region by clicking on it. The title bar of the region will become light blue (1). Click and drag the region to the position that you want (2). You can move the regions within a track, or between tracks.

Split An Audio Region

Select the audio region you want to split (1). Position the playhead where you want to split the audio region (2). Use Edit > Split Regions at Playhead (⌘T) to split the region (3). You now have two separate audio regions.
