Learning Intentions:
During this lesson you will investigate different sound effects and music files, as well as create your own music for the podcast. __***As you work through this lesson, you might want to refer back to the Basic Podcasting with GarageBand Tutorial.**__

__**Equipment:**__

 * You will each need to be on your own computer.
 * You will need to use a set of earphones.


 * In the last lesson you learned that GarageBand comes with a great many loops for you to drag into your podcasts and edit, but you can also import your own music to use with the program. This is done by adding the music to your iTunes library.**

There are several sites online that you can use to access and download music which has been licensed for reuse and remixing under Creative Commons. Some of these collections can be found on the LRC website in the Useful Resources Audio section. You can also create your own music and sound effects in Garageband by adding a New Track.
