One of the most common questions I get as an editor is how someone can edit their podcast for free. Lots of software out there either costs money or is tricky to use, but if you are an Apple user, GarageBand is a free, easy way to edit audio.

In this video, I'll be giving a basic tutorial for anybody wanting to learn how to use GarageBand. If you're wanting to know how to edit, how to add an intro or outro, how to add music, how to fade in or out, some best GarageBand tips, or you're just wanting to get some general editing tips (that apply to any software!), this is the video for you!
