I have been editing the "Discerning Geeks Portal" podcast since its inception in 2020 (with the exception of one episode).  So, I'm used to GarageBand.  I took this training for the possibility of filling in any gaps of knowledge, and I did learn a couple new things.  The screenshot & link are for our episode #161, which was our 2nd-longest episode and needed quite a bit of editing, including something I did learn from this training.

 

The editing I do mostly involves removing uhs, uhms, other filler words, awkward pauses, coughs, background sounds, and other noises.  I insert an intro &  two bumpers, intro & outro music, and other occasional music.  Our podcast is a fun, irreverent one, so I also add (hopefully) funny sound effects and voice clips where appropriate.  I also use GarageBand to separately edit reusable intro segments, reusable segment bumpers, and occasionally for "Previous On..." opening montages for the 2nd part of two-parters or for other occasions when I want to start an episode with a callback to old episode(s).

 

The main thing I learned from this training was how to alter automation per track, especially for things like echo or reverb, without having to create a separate track for different settings.
