Thus far we have experimented with Garageband as our recording tool for the upcoming podcast. The Mac software offers a template specifically for podcast recording. In the new podcast window, we can select to record on the female or male track. Under these main tracks we can insert royalty free loops and sound effects as the background to our podcast.
Using a Mac forum website, I found helpful and essential information on clearing noise in voice recordings with Garageband. After selecting the track you want to clean up, open the track info into the sidebar. Selecting "Treble Reducation" we can raise or lower the the manual setting to smooth the recording. After trying it on a test recording, this simple process did make a significant difference to the sound quality of our recording.
In this test recording, I found the process fairly simple. What I liked most about the software was how easy it was to clip and rearrange tracks, and layering them with ducking, so that one voice takes precedence over others.
At the end of the test, I was happy with what the software was able to produce--all that is left to work out is my voice sounding akin to the little birds that dress Cinderella.
