How robust you make your template is up to you. You can verify and, if necessary, edit your microphone input settings under the Recording Settings tab at the bottom. Feel free to close the library section for now. Choose 'microphone' and select the input your mic is connected to, then tap 'Create.' Your track will appear in the workspace in the upper right (default name 'Audio 1'), next to Garageband's Library section and above the settings for that track. Once the main GarageBand window opens, it will prompt you to add your first track from a selection of track types. You'll be creating a custom recording template, so choose 'Empty Project.' When you first open GarageBand, it will give you the option to create a new GarageBand project either from a Factory Template selection or as an Empty Project.

If you can't find GarageBand on your MacBook or iMac, you can download it for free in the App Store. This process will still work if you like to edit your podcast on an iPad or iPhone, just know that there are fewer editing functions available on the mobile version of GarageBand. Note - This tutorial is for the Macbook/iMac version of GarageBand. If you're a Mac user ready to start a podcast in GarageBand, look no further than this guide! It's an intuitive and user-friendly app to record, edit, mix, and export podcast episodes with pro-level quality. I'd like to know the best solutions for recording from an external. I've done some searches, only to come up with mixed results. While it will be fun using the built-in instruments, I'd really like being able to use my own.

I'm hoping to take full advantage of Garageband on my new iPad 2. Together with other free sound apps like Audacity, GarageBand has helped fuel the meteoric growth of podcasting by lowering the barrier to entry for recording quality sound. As a free app included with macOS and iOS, it's been a crucial first step in the burgeoning careers of many future home studio pros (this writer included).
Few things have changed the landscape of audio production like Apple's GarageBand, released in 2005.
