__**Garage Band Basics:**__ To open, click on the Guitar down on the Dock, or go to the Applications and select Garage Band.

Once opened you can create a New Music Project or a New Podcast Episode....we will be looking at a new podcast!

Rick pointed out that once you open the podcast you get a Podcast track, Male and Female Voice as well maybe a Jingles or Beats track.

Hook up the **Snowball Mic** and select Yes when asked to use the Snowball. You can use the internal mic provided by the Mac.

You can click on the "**Eyeball**" halfway down the page on the left side to get Jingles, other sound effects or some of your favorites. Once you choose the eyeball, you'll notice at the very bottom there is a loop, music or podcast to change what your options are.

In the middle on the right side you can click on the "i" to view details of the selected track and change some settings under the bottom "Details" to change the Echo, Reverb or under the "None" box you can change it to Chorus, WahWah, ......

In the middle on the right side you will see, next to the "i" a Media Browser which has a page/music note icon. From here you will be able to upload photos or other visuals.

When you **RECORD** choose the record button down around the middle, not the one on the individual tracks.


 * FADING IN OR OUT**: Adjusting the volume by hitting the triangle (up on the track after the 'lock' icon) to see the track volume. You can then click on the volume level (notice it will add a bubble), then go farther down to click again to get another bubble....you can now adjust the volume in that section by dragging it down or up.

To silence music or jingles click on the blue speaker on the track (it is the 2nd button on the track).

Can loop the music as well. It creates a tiny triangle at the top of the volume level to show where the loop starts again.

In the middle of the page on the left side, there is a "Scissors" icon which will then let you rename the track after you select the audio in the above box.

To clip part of the podcast in the Male or Female Voice Go to Edit on the top bar and select Split to cut it at the point selected and it will rename it (Ex: MaleVoice2) Select the part you don't want and click on the Delete Key. You could also drag that into another track (in case you want to use it later) or REMEMBER that you have Edit-Undo from the top bar.
