So I want to drag that in and place that close to the end of the track maybe with a little bit of extra silence at the end. If we scroll over we could see that this is the end of the track past the one minute mark.
Now if we were to export this from GarageBand now we would get this audio and it would stop here except that it would continue to play lots of silence because the track is actually longer than the 20 seconds here. If I were to Save this as a GarageBand project that track would continue to have that extra audio in. You could easily expand it back again or move it to change it if you want. We can click and drag that in to cut-off everything after that. So we want to use the lower portion here which is the end of the track. In this case we just want to trim this plain audio. The upper portion deals with loops which is something you would use if you're making music. When you do notice that there are two portions there. One way is we can move the cursor to the end of the track. So now if we want to actually want to trim some off the end, like let's say we just want to keep this section here, and kind of trim it at this point we can do it one of a couple ways. We can move the playback head anywhere we want and continue playing (later on I'm going to interview a wom). So we can play to hear any portion of it. This is just some spoken audio (Hi, this is Gary and this is my show all about wombats). I can take one of those and drag it in and put it right here at the beginning of this first sound track. So behind this GarageBand window I've got a Finder window with some audio files. Now to bring in the audio all we need to do is Drag and Drop. Also click here and change from using Beats to using Time which is more applicable when just editing audio files. We don't need those for this kind of project. The first thing we want to do is turn off the metronome here and the Count-in. So you want to create one of these projects then bring the audio in. GarageBand has to work with a GarageBand project. In order to work with audio in GarageBand you don't open the audio file. We can close that to give ourselves a little more space here. So we'll create this new document here and we can see here is that track that was created. Since we're going to be working with plain regular audio we want to use this track here with the microphone. Starting off here in GarageBand when you create a new empty project it's going to ask you to put a track in there. So if you have an audio file and you need to trim it or you need to merge two audio files or maybe mix two different audio files together you could easily do that in GarageBand as well. But you could also use it just to edit audio. You could record an instrument, you could build your own music track, loop things, add drums, and all of that.

MacMost is brought to you thanks to a great group of more than 1000 supporters. Today let's take a look at editing audio in GarageBand. Video Transcript: Hi, this is Gary with. Given that 99.99% of 'home studio' projects are going to end up on 16-bit CD (at best) and most likely on mp3, I feel high sample rates on sem-pro studio gear is nothing more than marketing hype and a complete red herring.Check out GarageBand Audio Editing Basics at YouTube for closed captioning and more options. Once you do move into high sample rate territory, your availalable track counts fall, some plugins fall over, the file sizes are enormous, disk drives bottleneck (you really need a RAID to keep it running smoothly) and even after trying to hear an improvement using the very best A/D converters available (Apogee Rosetta's, Apogee Trak 2's and RME's) I failed miserably to hear any audible difference at all. I say "theoretically" as the advantages of higher sample rates like that are very much open to debate, and frankly, if you are using considering using Garageband in the first place you are highly unlikely to have either the environment OR the equipment to take advantage of it. Quite true that Garage band has a sample rate limit of 44.1kHz, but it does go to 24-bits (which is much more important than theoretically being able to go to 192kHz).
