By making sure that you are running the latest version of Garageband on your Mac, you will be able to make use of all of the latest features while both recording and editing audio clips for your podcast.
2. Get The Right Microphone
After you have set up your Garageband and run all of the necessary updates – you will then be ready to go ahead and get yourself a microphone!
Even though Macbooks do come with their own microphone already built-in, if you are able to purchase a slightly more advanced external microphone you will be able to enjoy a much more professional sound and clearer audio track.
Many podcasts can run upwards of an hour, so it is important that you are as comfortable as possible when recording a podcast episode.
