The software my partner and I will be using to record and edit our podcast is titled "Garage Band". It is used to record music, but also has a podcast section that will help us for this assignment. The software itself seems fairly simple to use, which is appealing because I have never used any type of recording software before.
The Apple support website provides tutorial steps on each aspect of recording a podcast, including adding jingles, chapter titles and how to cut and paste bits of audio and moving them around within the podcast. Because this advice comes from the company itself, it is very useful and also specific to the program, and will definitely help my partner and I throughout the recording and editing process.
I was also able to find another website that gave me tips and also reviewed how Garage Band works and the pros and cons that it involves. This helped solidify my decision in using this software, and will help my partner and I when we start to make our podcast.
The last source I looked at was definitely the most helpful. It provided both a video and that video's transcript and showed how to navigate through Garage Band and all that it has to offer where podcasts are concerned. While the video is short, it provides enough information so that my partner and I will be able to navigate the program efficiently and create the best podcast possible.
I recorded my voice using the software, and once I got past the "is that really what I sound like?" feeling, I became confident that I would be able to deliver the kind of voice and tone that my podcast needs, and that Garage Band is the best software to be using.
