PE4_Garageband


One of the things that I learned about garageband and making podcasts is the concept of making chapter markers. If you plan to use garageband to record a lecture for example, you may want to add chapter markers to let your listener know what topics you will be talking about in different sections of the podcast. Chapter markers allows you to notate sections of your podcast and label them so the listener may jump from one topic to another through your podcast. Adding a chapter marker is pretty simple to do. Chapter titles are linked to the images that you place in your podcast. Because of this fact you may want to choose a different image for each chapter so it will be quick and simple to identify the beginnings of new chapters. To add a chapter marker simply click on your photo in the podcast track. You will see that in the track editor below your media tracks the information for your pictures and the podcast track will appear. You will see that there are sections labeled "time", "artwork" and "chapter title." In the "chapter title" section you can click on the "chaper title" text and type your own unique title that corresponds with the image you have selected. Hit enter when you are finished and now that section of your podcast has its own title. You can continue the process with as many or few chapter titles as your would like. After you export your podcast your listener will be able to identify your chapter markers in iTunes.
