How do I create a Podcast in Garageband?

I'm new to the Mac OS. I open Garageband and click "Create New Podcast." The podcast creator opens, I click record by male voice, say something, click record button again to stop recording, press play but hear nothing. What am I doing wrong? My mic is fine, I tested it in the sounds section of System Preferences.

Since you really didn't explain much about your
setup, this is only a guess.
You have to select "built-in Input" in GB's prefs.
However, be warned:

Built-in microphone is selected, but still nothing.

  • How do you create a podcast list by adding files?

    I have a site that has mp3s, but no podcasting subscription type tools (http://www.emmanuelnyc.org/sermons/index.html)
    I want to download the mp3s then listen to them on my ipod touch.
    How do I create a podcast group and add these files to it? I tried "add folder to library" and "add file to library" and cant' find it anywhere in itunes. Tried searching and searching... no clues.
    any assistance appreciated.

    The page you linked to has only MP3 files. There is no RSS feed (Podcast button), so those files cannot be downloaded "as Podcasts".
    However, if you right-click  any one of them you will see an option to "Save link as..." or "Save file as...", which will then allow you to download and save the MP3 onto your computer. It is not a Podcast, it is simply an MP3 file.
    A Podcast is a file (usually audio or video) that has been downloaded using an RSS feed. It is the process of being downloaded as an RSS feed that defines it as a Podcast. No matter what anyone else tells you, you cannot download an MP3 file and the turn it into a Podcast.
    Since the site provides no method of downloading the files in bulk, or automatically, then you will have to download each one individually. Put them all in one common folder.
    To add them to your iTunes Library, in iTunes, turn on the menu bar using the CTRL+B command. Then, on the File menu is...
    and using Add Folder To Library will allow you to add the files, in that folder, to your Library in one move.
    Now that the files are in your Library, you still cannot "make them appear to be Podcasts". Once again, this is the case - no matter who might tell you otherwise.
    But -
    I'm going to assume that you do not want these files to play when you're listening to your music, especially in shuffle mode. This is often why people want to set these files as Podcasts (and various bodges have been tried in order to try and achieve this end).
    The trick is to set the files to Skip when shuffling and this can be done to all the files at once. Highlight all the files in question and select File/Get Info/Options>Skip when shuffling and change the drop-down to Yes.
    Now, since they are set to skip when shuffling, that's exactly what will happen. It also means that you can start (and play the whole of) each file individually and if the iPod is still in shuffle mode, it will stop at the end of each episode. To play several, or all episodes without pause, simply turn off shuffle and navigate to the first episode. They will then play one after the other.
    By the way, you cannot use the custom podcast feed method that you mentioned. It's simply another bodge.

  • How can i create a podcast ?

    Hello,
    am new here and am so anxious to know how can i create my own podcast using windows as am not a mac user.  I use both ipad and ipod and i purchased the garage band to help me with this issue but unfortunately to create podcasts i should be using a mac desktop.
    Can anyone help me with this issue please
    thanks a lot

    I think you are talking about chapter markers in an MP4 audio (.m4a) file? The chapters will work on both Mac and Windows, but unfortunately the creation of them is only supported on the Mac (as far as I know).
    They can be added to an audio track using Apple's Garageband, or LemonDreamz Podcast Maker. For a free alternative there used to be the command line ChapterTool from Apple, but it involves making XML files to describe the chapters. All these are Mac only.
    Hope this helps,
    Greg

  • I have a 6th gen iPod Nano, how do I create a podcast playlist?

    Hi,
    I have a 6th gen iPod Nano, I would like my ipod to play all unplayed podcasts continously. For instance, once I have played all of the Nerdist podcasts, it automatically starts playing all unplayed Radio Lab podcasts I have loaded.
    How do I set this? Can I create a podcast playlist?
    Thank you for your help!

  • How can I create a Podcast Playlist in iOS 6.1?

    I upgraded to iOS 6 on my 4th Gen iPod (white) and noticed Podcasts are not included in any playlist any more, but have been pushed to the Podcast app! The problem I have is that I used to make a playlist of Podcasts to listen to while driving to work, and now I can't seem to find how I do that. I need to be able to have podcasts play in a particular order so that I don't have to fumble with the iPod while driving!
    Does anyone know how to make a Playlist see Podcasts in iOS 6.1?
    Thanks,
    T.

    In the Music App touch the "Playlists" tab at the bottom and then touch "New" at the upper right.

  • How do I create a podcast button on my iPod Touch?

    I use my touch mainly for listening and watching podcasts. Getting to them isn't that smooth, clicking on music, then more, then finally podcasts. It would be far better if I had a dedicated podcast button that I could have on the main bar. Is it possible to create one?

    If you press the Music button, then look at that bottom line of icons, the one on the right is marked with three dots and "More." Click on that and drag what you want to that bottom line (one will be moved off as the podcast one comes in).

  • How do I host my podcast (made in garageband?)

    Hi everyone,
    I am a DJ that is interested in sharing podcasts with fans. I recently bought a mac and have started using Garageband. I have already created 2 podcasts, but my question is - how do I host them? How do I prepare them to be subscribed to? The reason I ask is that the only way I can see to host them is through a .Mac account - creating a "podcast web page" - from what I understand though, I don't have to have a .Mac account to post the podcasts I make within Garageband... so any information I can get from people who post podcasts would be great!
    Since I already have created the podcasts within Garageband, can anyone explain to me how I actually get them online and able to be subscribed to by friends and fans? Any and all information would be a great help! Thank you in advance!!!

    Okay, here are the general steps of what you need to do:
    1. You have your 2 podcast episodes. Great. Are they at a bit rate that makes the file a reasonable size for download? If they aren't, you need to tweak them in you audio applications until they are. Also, if you want to add artwork to your podcast, you need to open your file in iTunes and modify the ID3 tags. More info here.
    2. You need to find a host for your files, like Libsyn . . . or, some blogging services also offer server space, if you already have a blog. Here's a decent article on the subject.
    3. You need to upload your media files to your web host, and create an RSS feed so that people can find them. Creating a feed can sometimes be confusing - you can use a podcast generator (they are all over the web) or you can build the feed yourself. iWeb can also help you set up one, but iWeb can be difficult to navigate if you want to change your feed around later. Here's a basic tutorial on building a feed. Also, you should check out the Podcast Tech Specs, the FAQ, and the top 6 podcasting questions (sticky at the top of this forum).
    4. After your RSS feed has been built, you need to check that it is valid. Run it through feed validator and then use the "Advanced -> subscribe to podcast" menu in your iTunes player to test it out.
    5. Once your podcast has had all the bugs worked out and runs like a well-oiled machine (and you are happy with the URL where it resides), you have many options. If you want to use FeedBurner to count your subscribers, you need to set yourself up with them before you do anything else, however (because you will need their URL to submit to directories). But, if you don't feel the need to do that, you can start submitting your feed URL to any directories you want your podcast listed in . . .such as the iTunes Store, Podcast Alley, Podcast Pickle, etc.
    If any of these steps are confusing to you, ask before you leap. Otherwise have fun and good luck!

  • Podcast with garageband

    I created a podcast with garageband, sent it to iweb to host on my site, submitted it to itunes from iweb. It was just approved today but when I looked at it there is a link back to my page where the podcast is hosted and I want it removed. How do I go about removing that link?

    I've not used iWeb for podcasting, but I ran a quick test and as I expected it fills in the 'link' tag in the feed (from which the iTunes Store page gets the site URL) with the URL of the podcast page. I can see no way of preventing it from doing this: you could edit the actual feed (you'd have to publish, download it, remove the URL, and upload it again) but you would have to do that every time you publish a new episode as obviously iWeb will overwrite the feed.
    The advantage of iWeb is that with no experience you can turn out quite effective sites and podcasts: but the disadvantage is that you get very little scope for customization.

    is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed.
    my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
    garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
    share to itunes.
    drag file to desktop.
    upload .m4a file to google drive.
    create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
    click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
    i copy this url.
    go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
    itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
    when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
    i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
    still the same error message.
    i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
    wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
    this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

    if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

  • How do I create a self-contained video podcast for download?

    I have a series of videos from a conference I taped years ago that I want to make availanble to people as a digital download. I have purchased some training coruses from places like Ripple that send you an e-mail with a link to the download the course material. Clicking on it opens up iTiunes and downloads the entire training course as a Podcast (video). So it is not hosted on iTunes and is self-contianed to download all "eppisodes."
    How is this done? How is this created so I can post it on a server and have people download it? Auto-instal to iTunes would be nice if easily acheivable.
    Thanks.

    This page explains how to create a podcast:
    http://rfwilmut.net/pc
    It's written with audio podcasts in mind, but there's little difference in making a video podcast. Your video files must be .mp4, .m4v or .mov, not .wma or .swf (Flash).
    In the 'enclosure' tag the 'type attribute must be as follows for the different file types:
    .mp4
    video/mp4
    .m4v
    video/x-m4v
    .mov
    video/quicktime
    Most podcast creation programs or service will handle that for you, so it's probably only relevant if you are handwriting the feed.

  • Create Podcast on GarageBand ( New )

    New GarageBand on Mac App Store.
    Create New Podcast ( M4A ) 

    Hi,
    Once iTunes has your RSS feed (which is automatically created by iWeb provided you have a .Mac account), your podcast will update with each new installment. One thing that I quickly realized, however. DO NOT change the main title of your webpage. Your RSS feed is based on that title. If you change it, your feed will change and your subscribers will not be forwarded. Just a note of caution.
    Peace,
