Tips
Always make sure your image is properly aligned to the right of the red line. This is where the previous recording ended.
If picture ends up being longer than your audio, then click and drag top of the audio head, (gray arrow at top), to the end of your picture box. The same can also apply if your audio ends up being longer than your picture and the “No Artwork” display shows up. Click and drag the artwork box to lengthen and equal the audio box.
After all students have recorded their slides, you may add sound from the jingles portion of Garage Band. Press blue eye to view options for sounds. Select sound and click and drag to the jingle bar which is under the tracks.
You may click and stretch the sound to extend under all of the recordings.
