How to Podfic in Garageband: Sound Quality

[lunchee]

All the things I know about obtaining the best possible sound quality using Garageband. Deals with popular question: "how do I eliminate background noise" (spoiler: the solution is probably not what you want to hear.)

Tutorial suitable for users running Garageband versions prior to Garageband X (came out with Mavericks) that has stripped out podcasts as a function. X's interface is completely different, sorry.

(not sure how to tag mods, but let me know if this post is unsuitable and I'll remove it)
