==What is Podcasting?==
We will be creating enhanced podcasts using Apple's GarageBand to combine audio and still images. For more about what a podcast is see [[Podcasting|What is Podcasting]].

==Gather your media files==
# capturing files to your computer
#* audio from recorders
#* still images from the web and from a digital camera
# Organizing them in your network file space
#* Smb://orca/programs/...
#* Creating new subfolders
#* Work locally and save to the network when you’re done

==Intro to Garage Band==

See: [[GarageBand for Podcasting]]
#Create a new podcast project
#*'''File > New > Create New Podcast Episode'''
#*Note: Only projects with a '''Podcast Track''' can create enhanced podcasts
#*Save to local harddrive

===Tips to prevent catastrophe===
*'''Work locally.''' Never open a file or work over the network
*'''Save often!'''
*'''Keep media files small'''
**Image files: resize/crop first in Photoshop
**Audio files: edit first in Audacity
*'''Normalize your audio''' first in Audacity
*'''Use simple filenames''' when importing media into GarageBand
**No special characters !@#$%^&*/... or spaces
**Keep filename short (under 10 characters)
*'''Lock your tracks''' in GarageBand when you're done editing them
*'''Save before final export'''
*'''Quit GarageBand before moving files''' around
