Optimizing File Size

When you share a podcast on your website or blog, you want to make sure you’ve compressed the podcast file size properly to allow visitors to download it quickly.

To optimize a podcast file:

  1. Open GarageBand. Then open the audio file you want to share as a podcast.
  2. Choose Share > Send Podcast to Web.
  3. In the resulting dialog, use the Compress Using pop-up menu to indicate how you want to compress the podcast.
  1. From the Audio Settings pop-up menu, choose a Sound quality setting.
  2. To have GarageBand prepare your podcast episode for delivery, click Share.

When GarageBand finishes, it sends the episode to iWeb, which publishes the finished podcast on a new blog or podcast entry on your website.
