Can you help me with recording a podcast on GarageBand?

David Hallengren asks:

While recording podcasts on GarageBand, the levels appear to be even, but upon ending the recording, they settle so that the lower level is virtually muted. Probably a noob error, but I’d appreciate any help.

Do you want to be a famous band? or your band is already famous?? hehe so, just easy if you have DSLR cam or a Family Handy cam? that could be better, to avoid its pixelated shots, just make your theme into a BLACK&WHITE or SEPIA??heheh that could be awesome..hehe

Add volume automation points to the line, you can adjust the volume at the points where it is clipping without having to interfere with the sections that are not distorted.

When starting to record, uncheck the box that says “automatic level control” underneath the slider for recording level (bottom right).

Also check preferences -> advanced -. disable “auto normalize” (though this only affects upon export of the track).
