I've been recording solo audio on Garage band for a while and only needing the basic functions. However, I haven't figured out yet how to adjust volume on certain sections of the same track. For instance, if my voice "pops" I know how to isolate the section with the "split" function, but have no clue how to adjust the volume only in one section of the track. Advice? Hey mac guy!

I record a show as a podcast. I havea mixer connected to my mac and input channels on the mixer include 2 mics and 2 cd players. So basically we record a show as it would be live. When the recording is finished, it's a bout an hour show. I compress it, about 96 kps, and then upload it to podomatic. But when I compress it I notice the sound quality of the CDs we play on the show not as clear as the originals. But our voices are pretty much the same. Any suggestions on how to increase the quality of the CDs without the file size of the final product? Thanks Thats, this was a great article. I record a show as a podcast.

No recording, just monitoring input and iTunes at the same time. What is the simplest/cheapest way to do that?

I use it when recording with Audacity. I was flustered to find that my mac, unlike a windows unit, will not record direct sound streams, or interviews, clips from movies. I think it's the way the mac is built. Anyway, soundflower allows me to do what I could do with my PC. It buzzes, though, until I click something from the icon menu.. No Problem...THANKS, JAY!

But you have to download "Soundflower" a free utility from http://cycling74.com/downloads/soundflower SoundFlower lets you route your system sound to GarageBand as an Input. It's also handy for about a million other things :-). There is also Audio Hijack Pro from RougeAmoeba http://rogueamoeba.com/ and Ambrosia's Wire Tap Pro http://ambrosiasoftware.com/ But these cost money. Best -- Jay Michelle
