Input for tutorials!

[lunchee]

Hi all!

I'm thinking of making a series of podfic tutorials for garageband users, and I was wondering if there was anything anyone might like to know/learn about specifically? I've gotten some requests for music/sound effects help, but any specific questions will really help me out ♥

EDIT: if there was anything in one of my pods you wanted to learn specifically, please cite it! Here is a list of planned tutes so far.

GarageBand editing tip

[crinklysolution.livejournal.com]

I just found a nifty thing about GarageBand that makes editing a heck of a lot easier. Maybe this is only new to me, not sure. In the lower left hand corner of the screen (under "follow tempo and pitch") there's a slider that stretches time out or compresses it, which makes the small spaces between words more visible, allowing me to insert in my edited piece a lot easier without an awkward sound jump or accidentally cutting out part of a word.

I'd love to listen to your podfic tutorials on GarageBand. I've read several comments saying that GarageBand seems a lot more complex and less intuitive than Audacity, which is funny to me as a GarageBand user because it's the way I feel about Audacity, though I'd love to change that!

Thanks crinkly, it amazes me how many people don't know of that function! I found pretty quickly into my first podfic, so I was always confused when others said it was too difficult to edit very precisely on Garageband. I was a bit like o_o how much more precise do you want to be?? And, holy crap, how sloppy must I be editing?!

I would love to be fluent in both programs, but audacity is super unstable, and the presets, the compression and the GUI are all lacking compared to Garageband IMO. Plus, once you become really good at one program, you're probably already prejudiced against any other program? (see previous sentence for my clear bias :D )
